Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) dengan AMOS

AMOS adalah salah satu software paling popular untuk Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). Software AMOS ini sama seperti LISREL hanya saja lebih mudah digunakan untuk orang yang masih awam tentang analisis SEM. Amos saat ini telah dibeli oleh perusahaan software statistik terbesar yakni SPSS.

Sebelum anda memakai aplikasi ini ada baiknya Anda baca dulu teori-teori tentang SEM, sudah ada kok pengarang-pengarang Indonesia yang sudah menuliskannya. Silahkan kunjungi toko buku di kota Anda, bukan promosi lho :P atau ke-sini dulu deh kalo pengen cari di internet :) . Hal ini dilakukan agar Anda akan dapat lebih mudah memakai dan memahaminya.

Secara garis besar dalam AMOS, kita dapat membuatkan model SEM, memasukkan data untuk model (file data dapat berupa file Excel maupun SPSS) serta pengujian terhadap model.
Belajar Amos tidak sesulit yang dibayangkan, bahkan mungkin menyenangkan terutama saat pembuatan model. Untuk tips pemakaian AMOS, InsyaAllah akan aku ulas pada postingan selanjutnya.

Working with Jobs In MYOB Accounting (MYOB Tutorial Series)

How to use Jobs feature in MYOB Accounting?
You can use the Jobs feature in your MYOB Accounting to keep accurate and detailed records of your jobs and profit centres. Let’s assume that Clearwater Pty Ltd, our tutorial company, is part way through installing fifty water filters at the Island Way Hotel. This job has already been set up in our company file. The Edit Job window shown here displays information about the job, such as the start date, percentage completed, finish date and so on.

You can use the Jobs feature to simply keep track of your various jobs or to perform advanced functions such as set budgets by account for each job, track job expenses for customer reimbursables, analyse profit and loss for jobs, and much more.

Let’s assume that in order to install the water filters in Island Way Hotel, we had to purchase fifty wall brackets. We will assign this purchase to the job so that we can keep track of expenses for customer reimbursement when the job is complete.

1. Go to the Purchases command centre and click Enter Purchases. The Purchases window is displayed.
2. Enter the supplier’s name and date as shown.
3. Enter 50 in the Received column.
4. Enter 200-897B5 in the Item Number field and $4 in the Price field.
5. Tab to the Job column and click the search icon.
6. Double-click job 4980. The purchase is now allocated to thisjob.
7. Complete the rest of the purchase as normal and clickRecord.
   

Analyse job activity

An important part of managing your job activity revolves around reviewing the data that you’ve entered for your jobs and understanding its effects on your overall financial picture. Understanding the “big picture” of your job activity will help you identify income trends, recognise possible cost overruns and anticipate your company’s future revenues. The Analyse Jobs window will help you perform this important task by providing lists of your job activity.

1. Display the Analyse Jobs window. To do this, from any command centre, click the Analysis down arrow and choose Jobs.
   
2. Enter 4980 in the Job Number field and press TAB. Detailed information about this job appears in the Analyse Job window. You can view the progress of this job broken down by account. You can also view any budgets you have entered for this job, and compare it with the actual expenses.

How To Reconcile Your Bank Account In MYOB Accounting

It's easy to reconcile your bank account in MYOB.
These are the tutorials:
To do this, go to the Banking command centre and click Reconcile Accounts.

Let’s reconcile the cheque account used so far in this tutorial. Although we have entered only two transactions, this will serve as an example of how spending and receiving cash relate to account reconciliation. To make the example more realistic, we will also add a bank charge to the bank statement. Let’s assume we received a bank statement dated 8/8/2002. The closing balance appearing on the statement is $24,495.
The statement shows three transactions:
• A deposit of $30,000
• A cheque for $5,500
• A bank charge of $5

To reconcile your cheque account:
1. Select the Cheque Account by typing 1-1110 in the Account field.
2. Tab to the New Statement Balance field and enter $24,495.
3. Enter 8/8/02 in the Bank Statement Date field. Press TAB.
Notice that the out of balance amount is –$24,495, and that the two transactions we have entered appear in the scrolling list. (Only transactions dated on or before the Bank Statement Date will appear.)
Now we need to match the transactions appearing on the bank statement with those listed in the Reconcile Accounts window.
4. Click in the column to the left of the transactions, and across will appear. The Out of Balance figure should reduce to $5.
The $5 out of balance amount suggests that there is a difference of $5 between the bank statement and the cheque account in your company file. In our case, the difference of $5 is due to the bank charge not being entered in the
company file.
5. Click the Bank Entry button. The Record Service Charges and Interest Earned window is displayed.
6. Enter the service charge of $5, and select the Bank Charges expense account (6-1900). Type Bank Fee in the Memo field and click Record.
The Out of Balance amount should now be $0. This means that MYOB’s records match the bank’s records. We can be confident that the Cheque Account transactions entered in
your MYOB software are accurate.
7. Click Reconcile. A dialog appears. You can print the Reconciliation report for your records or just click Reconcile again to finish. (If we didn’t reconcile the account, we may have missed the bank charge and our chequebook would
show the incorrect balance.)
8. Click Cancel to return to the Banking command centre.
