3 SECTION 1 Introduction Today s accounting professionals rely on the computer to assist them in performing a variety of tasks. The personal computer combined with the power of software provide accountants with the tools they need to help them be more efficient. The electronic spreadsheet program, which offers power and versatility, has proven to be an indispensable tool. Spreadsheet User Guide with Solutions is designed to be used with the spreadsheet templates provided on the Glencoe Accounting Online Learning Center. The templates allow students to explore the power of spreadsheet software in solving accounting problems. This user guide includes student instruction sheets, printed solutions, and teaching suggestions. Templates with Formulas. Spreadsheet templates are provided for selected problems in the Glencoe Accounting: Real-World Applications & Connections First-Year Course textbook. Students analyze the accounting information provided in the textbook, load the corresponding template, and enter problem data as instructed. The default software setting is to Use templates with formulas, so that the student use templates that contain the formulas needed to calculate the desired results. Templates without Formulas. The optional software setting is not to use templates with formulas, and when selected, the software will require the students to enter the formulas in the templates. Instructors who want their students to learn advanced spreadsheet skills may choose to use this option. The option to use spreadsheet templates with or without formulas can be selected or deselected under the Groups tab in the Accounting Management System of the Online Learning Center. (Note that the First-Year spreadsheet formulas are not provided in this manual. To obtain these formulas, you will need to load the templates and check the appropriate cells for the given formulas.) What-If Analysis. Spreadsheet problems are enhanced using what-if analysis questions. After your students complete a problem, they practice critical thinking skills by performing what-if analysis to determine the effect of changes made to the accounting data. Chapter Reviews and Working Papers. Student instructions are also provided in the student Chapter Reviews and Working Papers. In addition, students are provided with general instructions for loading files, entering data, and saving files. More detailed instructions are provided for the initial problems, but students must possess a basic understanding of the spreadsheet software to complete the problems.

5 SECTION 2 Teaching Suggestions The following suggestions are intended to help you use the spreadsheet applications program effectively. Discuss the nature and purpose of electronic spreadsheets and their importance in accounting. Explain that a spreadsheet is a tool for organizing financial data in columns and rows, similar to the organization of a work sheet used in manual accounting systems. Point out that the electronic spreadsheet enables automatic recalculation of results based on changes made in one or more cells. Present the basic spreadsheet terms with which the students should be familiar when they complete the spreadsheet exercises, such as column, row, cell, cell pointer, template, and work sheet. Simple definitions for these terms are provided in the student working papers. Demonstrate the basic spreadsheet operations to the students before they begin the first spreadsheet problem. Although detailed instructions are provided for the student in the working papers, a demonstration will provide the students with an overview of spreadsheet operation before they begin their work. Instructions for opening a template using the Glencoe Accounting Online Learning Center software are given in the student working papers and in the instruction sheets that follow. You may want to explain how to open a file if the student experiences difficulty with the launcher. The templates provided are in Microsoft Excel format. These files are compatible with most spreadsheet software; however, in rare instances, some formatting, such as underlines or bold, may be lost in the conversion. (For instructors using the templates that require students to enter their own formulas) Copying formulas will save your students valuable class time. A discussion of relative and absolute cell references may help your students avoid problems when copying formulas. The use of absolute versus relative cell references depends on each individual spreadsheet and the layout of the data. Explain to students how to save their work. They should use the Save option from the File menu. If you plan to ask students to print their spreadsheet solutions, review the printing procedures with them. You may want to go over procedures for printing pages landscape and printing a spreadsheet to fit to one page. Remind students to make sure they have entered their name and the current date in the space provided on each spreadsheet prior to printing their work.

6 SECTION 3 Learning to Use a Spreadsheet Program Introduction Accountants use several tools to help them evaluate and present various financial information. One tool that has proven to be invaluable to accountants is the electronic spreadsheet. An electronic spreadsheet is simply a computerized version of the paper work sheet with which you are probably already familiar. The advantage of using an electronic spreadsheet is that changes and corrections can be made to the spreadsheet very quickly. Simply enter the changes. The computer automatically recalculates the spreadsheet based on the new data and updates the totals as needed. Before you begin using spreadsheet software, there are some terms with which you should become familiar: Column: a vertical area of varying width that is labeled with a letter. Row: a horizontal area that is labeled with a number. Cell: the intersection of a column and a row. The intersection is referenced by the column and row. For example, cell C12 is the point at which column C and row 12 intersect. Cell pointer: a rectangular block that highlights the current cell. When you want to enter data in a cell, first use the mouse or arrow keys to move the cell pointer to that position. Template: a spreadsheet that contains formulas, labels, and formatting codes; the template can be used simply by typing information in the appropriate cells. Work sheet: a spreadsheet document. The cells where you enter labels, amounts, and formulas are collectively referred to as a work sheet. A work sheet is also a form used to gather all data needed at the end of an accounting period to prepare financial statements. Open a Spreadsheet Problem Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Step 4 Step 5 Step 6 Turn on your computer. Go to the Glencoe Accounting Online Learning Center at glencoe.com. From the Student Center menu, click on Spreadsheet Templates. Select the chapter problem you want to work on and click Launch, or doubleclick on the problem title. Your spreadsheet program will launch and the template will load. Using the Spreadsheet Guide in your working papers, complete the problem according to the instructions provided. Continue a Spreadsheet Problem from a Previous Session If you have been directed to save your work to a network, select the problem from the Problems & Tutorials list. The system will automatically retrieve your files from the previous session. If you have been directed to save your work to a disc and you want to continue to work on the problem you have saved, be sure the correct disc is in the drive and select Continue working on this problem. The system will then retrieve your files from the disc. 4 Spreadsheet Applications User Guide with Instruction Sheets and Solutions First-Year Course

7 Enter Data into a Spreadsheet Navigation. As you work with a template, you will be required to enter text and numbers into various cells to complete a problem. When instructed to enter information, use the mouse or the arrow keys to move the cell pointer to the specified cell, type the data (text or numbers), and then press the Enter key. Types of Data. There are two kinds of data that you will enter numbers and labels. When you type 425 the software knows that you are entering a number. Numeric data begins with a digit (0 9) or a symbol (+ - $ # or any currency symbol). All other symbols signify a label. Cell Protection. Depending on the spreadsheet program you are using, many of the cells are protected to prevent you from accidentally erasing information. If you attempt to type a number or label into a protected cell, the spreadsheet program displays a message indicating the cell is locked or protected. Errors. If you make a mistake while typing the information and you have not yet pressed Enter, simply use the Backspace key to erase the incorrect data and retype the entry. When the entry is correct, press Enter to accept the data. If you notice an error after you press Enter, simply retype the data. Overflows. Sometimes, the data you enter may be too wide to fit into one cell. When you press Enter, the data overflows from the current cell into the next cell. As long as data has not been entered in the adjoining cell, the entire cell contents appear on the work sheet. Placeholders. Placeholders appear in each template to identify where to type your name and the date. Simply move to the cell with (name) and type your name. Then move to the cell with (date) and type the date. Save a Spreadsheet After you complete a problem, or if you need to save your work before you finish an activity, use the Save option from the File menu and accept the default location offered. Print a Spreadsheet Use your software s Print command to print your completed spreadsheet. Access your software s Help file for detailed printing instructions. Sometimes a spreadsheet will be too wide to fit vertically on an 8.5 x 11 piece of paper. If your spreadsheet is too wide to fit on an 8.5 wide piece of paper, you can change your print settings to print the worksheet landscape. Landscape means that the worksheet will be printed broadside on the page. Some spreadsheet applications also allow you to choose a fit to page option. This function will reduce the width and depth of the work sheet to fit on one page. End a Session After working with the software, you should exit the spreadsheet program. Then remove the template disc from the drive (if necessary) and turn off the computer. Spreadsheet Applications User Guide with Instruction Sheets and Solutions First-Year Course 5

9 3-9 Determining the Effects of Transactions on the Accounting Equation Student Name Date Complete the Spreadsheet Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Step 4 Read the instructions for Problem 3-9 in your textbook. This problem involves entering transactions in the accounting equation. Go to the Glencoe Accounting Online Learning Center at glencoe.com. From the Student Center menu, click on Spreadsheet Templates. Select template 3-9 from the Chapter 3 drop-down list. The template should look like the one below. Step 5 Type your name in the cell containing the (name) placeholder. After you type your name and press Enter, the (name) placeholder will be replaced by the information you just typed. Spreadsheet Applications User Guide with Instruction Sheets and Solutions First-Year Course 7

10 Step 6 Type today s date in the cell containing the (date) placeholder. After you type the date and press Enter, the (date) placeholder will be replaced by the information you just typed. When you work with any of the other spreadsheet templates, your name and date should always be typed in the cells containing the (name) and (date) placeholders. TIP 3-9A: Options you select in the regional options of Control Panel determine the default format for the current date and time and the characters recognized as date and time separators for example, the slash (/) and colon (:) on United States-based systems. Be careful not to enter an equal sign before entering a date with slashes, as your spreadsheet application may view the date as a formula and the slashes as division symbols. Step 7 In the first transaction, Ms. Ortega, the owner of the business, opened a checking account for the business. Remember from Chapter 3 that two parts of the accounting equation are affected by this transaction: Cash and Juanita Ortega, Capital. Cash is increasing, and Juanita Ortega, Capital, is increasing. To record this transaction in the spreadsheet template, move the cell pointer to cell B12 and type TIP 3-9B: Remember, to enter data into the cell, you must first type the data and then press <Enter>. Do not type a dollar sign or a comma when you type the data the spreadsheet template will automatically format the data when it is entered. TIP 3-9C: Depending on the spreadsheet program you are using, the spreadsheet templates may be formatted to protect you from accidentally erasing information in selected cells. For example, the column headings in the spreadsheet for Problem 3-9 are protected. If you attempt to type a number or label into a protected cell, the spreadsheet program displays a message indicating that the cell is locked or protected. Simply move to the correct cell and retype the information. Step 8 Next, move the cell pointer to cell J12. Type in cell J12 to record the increase in Juanita Ortega, Capital. Again, do not include a dollar sign or a comma as part of the cell entry the spreadsheet template will automatically format the data when it is entered. Move the cell pointer to cell J23. Notice that the spreadsheet automatically calculates the balance in each account as you enter the data. Step 9 To check your work, look at rows 26 through 30 in column D. Total assets equal $60,000. Total liabilities plus owner s equity also equal $60,000. The accounting equation is in balance. Step 10 Analyze the remaining transactions in Problem 3-9 and enter the appropriate data into the spreadsheet template. TIP 3-9D: To decrease an account balance, precede the amount entered by a minus sign. For example, to decrease Cash in Bank by $3,000, type 3000 in the Cash in Bank column. Check the totals at the bottom of the spreadsheet after each transaction has been entered. Remember, total assets should always equal total liabilities plus owner s equity. If the accounting equation becomes out of balance, check your work closely to find the error, and make any necessary corrections. When you have entered all of the transactions, ask your teacher to check your work. 8 Spreadsheet Applications User Guide with Instruction Sheets and Solutions First-Year Course

11 Step 11 Save the spreadsheet using the Save option from the File menu. TIP 3-9E: It is good practice to always move your cursor to cell A1 before saving your spreadsheet. This will ensure that your spreadsheet opens in the first cell when you reopen it. For many spreadsheet applications, a shortcut for moving to cell A1 is by holding down the <Ctrl> key while pressing the <Home> key. Check your software s Help file for its specific shortcut commands. Step 12 Print the completed spreadsheet. TIP 3-9F: If your spreadsheet is too wide to fit on an 8.5-inch wide piece of paper, you can change your print settings to print the worksheet landscape. Landscape means that the worksheet will be printed broadside on the page. Some spreadsheet applications also allow you to choose a fit to page option. This function will reduce the width and depth of the worksheet to fit on one page. Step 13 Exit the spreadsheet program. Step 14 In the Close Options window, select the location where you would like to save your work. Analyze Your Work Complete the Analyze activity for Problem 3-9 from your textbook. What-If Analysis TIP 3-9G: Always save your work before performing What-If Analysis. It is not necessary to save your work after performing What-If Analysis unless your teacher instructs you to do so. If you are required to save your work after performing What-If Analysis, be sure to rename the spreadsheet to avoid saving over your original work. If Ms. Ortega withdrew an additional $1,500 from the business for personal use, what would the balance in the Juanita Ortega, Capital account be?

12 4-6 Analyzing Transactions into Debit and Credit Parts Student Name Date Complete the Spreadsheet Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Step 4 Step 5 Read the instructions for Problem 4-6 in your textbook. This problem involves recording transactions in T accounts. Go to the Glencoe Accounting Online Learning Center at glencoe.com. From the Student Center menu, click on Spreadsheet Templates. Select template 4-6 from the Chapter 4 drop-down menu. The template should look like the one on the next page. Type your name and today s date in the cells containing the (name) and (date) placeholders. TIP 4-6A: Options you select in the regional options of Control Panel determine the default format for the current date and time and the characters recognized as date and time separators for example, the slash (/) and colon (:) on United States-based systems. Be careful not to enter an equal sign before entering a date with slashes, as your spreadsheet application may view the date as a formula and the slashes as division symbols. Step 6 In the first transaction, Juanita Ortega, the owner of the business, transferred an additional $53,250 from her personal savings account into the business checking account. Two accounts are affected by this transaction: Cash and Juanita Ortega, Capital. Cash is debited, and Juanita Ortega, Capital, is credited. To record this transaction in the spreadsheet template, move the cell pointer to cell A10, the first cell on the debit side of the Cash in Bank T account, and type TIP 4-6B: Remember, to enter data into the cell, you must first type the data and then press <Enter>. Do not type a comma when you enter the data the spreadsheet template will automatically format the data when it is entered. 10 Spreadsheet Applications User Guide with Instruction Sheets and Solutions First-Year Course

13 Step 7 Step 8 TIP 4-6C: Depending on the spreadsheet program you are using, the spreadsheet templates may be formatted to protect you from accidentally erasing information in selected cells. For example, the T account headings in the spreadsheet for Problem 4-6 are protected. If you attempt to type a number or label in a protected cell, the spreadsheet program displays a message indicating that the cell is locked or protected. Simply move to the correct cell and re-enter the information. Next, move the cell pointer to cell H30, the first cell on the credit side of the Juanita Ortega, Capital T account. Type in cell H30 to record the credit to Juanita Ortega, Capital. Again, do not include a comma as part of the cell entry the spreadsheet template will automatically format the data when it is entered. Move the cell pointer to cell H35. Notice that the spreadsheet automatically calculates the balance in each T account. To check your work, look at cells D39 and D40. The sum of debit balances equals $53,250. The sum of credit balances also equals $53,250. Step 9 Analyze the remaining transactions in Problem 4-6 and type the appropriate data into the spreadsheet template. Check the totals at the bottom of the spreadsheet after each transaction has been entered. Remember, the sum of debit balances should always equal the sum of credit balances. If the debit and credit balances become out of balance, check your work closely to find the error, and make any necessary corrections. When you have entered all of the transactions, ask your teacher to check your work. Step 10 Save the spreadsheet using the Save option from the File menu. Spreadsheet Applications User Guide with Instruction Sheets and Solutions First-Year Course 11

14 TIP 4-6D: It is good practice to always move your cursor to cell A1 before saving your spreadsheet. This will ensure that your spreadsheet opens in the first cell when you reopen it. For many spreadsheet applications, a shortcut for moving to cell A1 is by holding down the <Ctrl> key and pressing the <Home> key. Check your software s Help file for its specific shortcut commands. Step 11 Print the completed spreadsheet. Step 12 Exit the spreadsheet program. Step 13 In the Close Options window, select the location where you would like to save your work.
