A large engineering coompany has 112 manufacturring plants alll over the coountry. Its prooduction/maanufacturing process is capital intenssive and comppany has differrent types of pplants. Preparatioon of annul deetailed budgett of assets esppecially non-cuurrent assets iss the responsiibility of finannce manager.
