Disappointed by blind dates and personal ads, – Andrea McGinty founded a prescreened lunch dating service.
?

It’s Just Lunch

?

It’s Just Lunch

1 Distinguish

accrual-basis accounting from cash-basis accounting. 2 Apply the revenue and matching principles.

Chapter Objectives

3 Make

adjusting entries at the end of the accounting period. 4 Prepare an adjusted trial balance. 5 Prepare the financial statements from the adjusted trial balance.

Chapter Objectives

Distinguish accrualbasis accounting from cash-basis accounting.

Objective 1

1 Accrual-basis

2 Cash-basis

The Two Bases of Accounting:

Accountants record transactions... – when revenues are earned, – or when expenses are incurred, – regardless of when cash changes hands.
?

Accrual Basis

Accountants record transactions... – when cash is paid, – or when cash is received, – regardless of when a revenue is earned or an expense is incurred.
?

Cash Basis

Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ? GAAP requires that a business use the accrual basis.
?

Remember GAAP?

Accountants record revenues as they are earned... – and expenses as they are incurred, – not necessarily when cash is received or paid.
?

GAAP

Using accrual accounting, Its’ Just Lunch records revenue when it sells dating services, not when it collects cash later. ? Likewise, It’s Just Lunch records expenses when incurred.
?

Accrual Accounting

Salary expense not only includes amounts paid to employees, – it includes any amount owed to employees.
?

Example

Services performed during the month of July - $15,000. ? Cash collected from customers - $6,000. ? Expenses for the month - $12,000. ? Cash paid out - $9,000.
?

Dennis’ Landscaping

Revenues are the cash collected from customers - $6,000. ? Expenses are the cash paid out during the month - $9,000.
?

Cash Basis

?

Dennis’ Landscaping lost $3,000 during the month of July.

Cash Basis

?

Cash Basis

Revenue: $15,000 Cash In: $6,000 Expenses: $12,000 Cash Out: $9,000 Dennis’ Landscaping Income Statement For the Month Ended July 31, 19xx Revenues $6,000 Expenses 9,000 Net Loss $3,000

Revenues of $15,000 are recognized for the services performed during the month. ? Expenses are the $12,000 incurred during the month.
?

Accrual Basis

?

Dennis’ Landscaping made a profit of $3,000.

Accrual Basis

Landscaping Income Statement For the Month Ended July 31, 19xx Revenues $6,000 Expenses 9,000 Net Loss Cash $3,000

? Dennis’

Landscaping Income Statement For the Month Ended July 31, 19xx Revenues $15,000 Expenses 12,000 Net Accrual Income $ 3,000

? Dennis’

?

Because accrual accounting provides a more complete portrayal of operating performance and financial position.

Why Does GAAP Require the Accrual Basis?

Over or understatement of... – Revenue – Expense – Accounts receivable – Accounts payable
?

Problems with Cash Basis

– requires

that accounting information be reported at regular intervals. – requires that income be measured accurately each period.

The Time Period Concept...

?

Managers adopt an artificial period of time to evaluate performance.

Accounting Period

–a

calendar year (January 1st to December 31st), or – a fiscal year (any consecutive 12-month period).

The Annual Accounting Period Can Be...

– are

prepared for less than one year. ? Monthly ? Quarterly ? Semi-annually

Interim Period Statements...

Apply the revenue and matching principles.

Objective 2

?
? ? ? ?

Revenue is recognized when it is deemed earned. Recognition of revenue and cash receipts do not necessarily occur at the same time. Cash could be received at the same time. Cash could be received after the earning. Cash could be received before the earning.

Revenue Principle

– is

the basis for recording expenses. ? Expenses are the costs of assets and the increase in liabilities incurred in the earning of revenues.

The Matching Principle...

Expenses are recognized when the benefit from the expense is received. ? Recognition of expenses and cash payments do not necessarily occur at the same time.
?

Expense Recognition

– allows

businesses to report accounting information on a regular basis. – interacts with the revenue principle and the matching principle to underlie the use of accruals.

The Time Period Concept...

? In

order to measure income accurately, businesses update the revenue and expense accounts before the end of the period.

The Time Period Concept

Make adjusting entries at the end of the accounting period.

Objective 3

At the end of the period accountants prepare financial statements. ? This end-of-period process starts with the unadjusted trial balance.
?

Adjusting Entries

– are

made to bring accounts to correct balances before preparing financial statements.

Adjusting Entries...

– assign

revenue to period earned. – assign expenses to the period incurred. – bring related asset and liability accounts into correct balance.

Adjusting Entries...

1 Prepaids

2 Accruals

Two Types Of Adjusting Entries

?

A prepaid, or deferral, is the postponement of the recognition of an expense already paid or incurred or a revenue already received.

Prepaids

These are goods or services paid for in advance that do not expire during the current accounting period. ? They include miscellaneous assets that will expire or will be used up in the near future.
?

Prepaid Expenses

Examples: – Prepaid rent – Prepaid insurance – Supplies – Buildings – Equipment
?

Prepaid Expenses

a cost allocation of a long-lived asset. ? Depreciation expense is the cost converted from an asset to an expense. ? Estimates are used.

Depreciation...

On January 2nd, the business purchased a truck for $30,000 cash. ? The truck is expected to last for 3 years.
?

Dennis’ Landscaping

?

Journalizing

The cost of the truck must be matched with the accounting periods in which it was used to earn income. ? What would the journal entry be for the year ended December 31, 19x1?
?

Matching Principle

Cost: $30,000 ? Service life: 3 Years ? Cost/Estimated useful life ? $30,000/3 = $10,000 per year

Adjusting entries always have: – one income statement account and – one balance sheet account. ? Adjusting entries never involve cash.
?

Notice

Prepare an adjusted trial balance.

Objective 4

The adjusting process starts with the unadjusted trial balance. ? Adjusting entries are made at the end of the accounting period and then an adjusted trial balance is prepared.
?

Adjusted Trial Balance

The adjusted trial balance verifies the equality of debits and credits after the adjusting process. ? It serves as the basis for the preparation of the financial statements. ? The adjusted trial balance is an internal statement.
?

Adjusted Trial Balance

Prepare the financial statements from the adjusted trial balance.

Objective 5

The adjusted trial balance is an internal statement used to prepare the financial statements. ? Financial statements are external statements.
?

Prepare the Statements

The financial statements are: – Income Statement – Statement of Owners’ Equity – Cash Flow Statement – Balance Sheet
?

Financial Statements

Financial statements have two parts: 1 The first part includes the following: – Name of the entity – Title of the statement – Date or period covered 2 The second part is the body of the statement.
?

Financial Statements

The income statement reports net income or net loss. ? Net income or net loss is determined by subtracting expenses from revenues.
?

Relationships Among Statements

the

Revenues and expenses are owners’ equity account. ? Net income or net loss is transferred to the statement of owners’ equity.
?

Relationships Among Statements

the

Capital is a balance sheet account. ? The ending balance in the statement of owners’ equity is transferred to the balance sheet.

Use the work sheet to complete the accounting cycle.

Objective 2

The work sheet helps identify the accounts that need adjustments. ? Actual adjustment of the accounts requires journalizing and posting the entries.
?

Recording the Adjusting Entries

The adjusting entries may be recorded in the journal when they are entered on the work sheet. ? Many accountants journalize and post the adjusting entries just before they make the closing entries.
?

Recording the Adjusting Entries

Close the revenue, expense and withdrawal accounts.

Objective 3

?

Closing the accounts is the end of period process that prepares the accounts for recording transactions during the next period.

Closing the Accounts

What accounts are closed at the end of the period? ? Revenue, Expenses and Withdrawals. ? These relate to a specific period and are called temporary accounts.
?

Closing the Accounts

The Income Summary account is used to close the temporary accounts. ? This is the “most temporary” account. ? It is used only to facilitate the closing process.
?

Income Summary

Revenues and Expense accounts are closed to Income Summary. ? Income Summary is closed to Capital. ? Withdrawals are closed to Capital.
?

Closing the Accounts

Net income will be represented by a credit balance in the Income Summary. ? Net loss by a debit balance.
?

Closing the Accounts

was the incorrect entry? Equipment and credit Cash. is the correcting entry? Supplies and credit Equipment.

Correcting Errors

Classify assets and liabilities as current or long-term.

Objective 5

?

This is a measure of how quickly an item can be converted to cash.

Liquidity

?

On the balance sheet, assets and liabilities are classified as either current or long-term to indicate their relative liquidity.

Current or Long-term

Current assets are cash, or will be converted to cash, in one year or within the normal business operating cycle. – Cash – Short term receivables – Inventory – Prepaid expenses
?

Assets are Classified as Current or Long-term

Long-term assets include all other assets. – Property, equipment and intangibles
?

Assets are Classified as Current or Long-term

Current liabilities are debts or obligations due within one year or within the operating cycle. – Accounts and salary payables – Short term notes payable – Unearned revenue
?

Liabilities are Classified as Current or Long-term

?

Long-term liabilities are all other debts due in longer than one year or the entity’s operating cycle.

Liabilities are Classified as Current or Long-term

The debit side – Current assets – Long-term assets ? Assets are listed in order of decreasing liquidity.
?

The Classified Balance Sheet

The credit side – Current liabilities – Long-term liabilities ? Liabilities are listed in the order of how soon they must be paid.
?

Different Formats of the Balance Sheet

Use the current and debt ratios to evaluate a business.

Objective 6

– are

statements that show two or more consecutive periods. ? They enhance the user’s ability to analyze a company’s past performance.

Comparative Financial Statements...

Two common ratios used to measure liquidity are: 1 Current ratio 2 Debt ratio
?

Evaluating with Ratios

?

This measures the ability of a business to pay its current liabilities with its current assets.

Current Ratio

Current assets/Current liabilities ? A Current Ratio indicates that a ratio of 1.0 or more business should have no trouble paying its current bills.
?

It indicates the proportion of a business’ assets that are financed with debt. ? It measures their ability to pay both current and long-term debt.
?

Debt Ratio

Total liabilities/Total assets ? The lower the ratio, the safer.
?

Debt Ratio

?

Decision makers compare various ratios over a period of time, looking for improving trends.
