SECTIONS 1. Preparing the Financial Statements 2. Completing the Accounting Cycle CHAPTER OVERVIEW/ LEARNING OBJECTIVES Learning Link: Chapter 12 discussed accrual accounting and completion of a worksheet for a merchandising business. Chapter 13 explains how to use worksheets to prepare and record adjusting and closing entries, to prepare a post-closing trial balance, and to prepare financial statements. 13-1) This chapter explains how to prepare a classified income statement. A classified income statement for a merchandising business usually includes these sections: Operating Revenue, Cost of Goods Sold, Gross Profit on Sales, Operating Expenses, and Net Income. 13-2) The chapter explains that a statement of owner s equity is prepared to provide detailed information about the changes in the owner s financial interest during the period. The ending owner s capital balance is used to prepare the balance sheet. 13-3) In preparing a Classified Balance Sheet from the worksheet: Assets are usually presented in two groups current assets, and plant and equipment. Current assets consist of cash, items to be converted into cash within one year, and items to be used up within one year. Plant and equipment consists of property that will be used for a long time in the operations of the business. Liabilities are also divided into two groups current liabilities and long-term liabilities. Current liabilities will normally be paid within one year. Long-term liabilities are due in more than one year. 13-1 Copyright No reproduction or distribution without the prior written consent of McGraw-
Chapter 13 - Financial Statements and Closing Procedures 13-5) When the year-end worksheet and financial statements have been completed, adjusting entries are recorded in the general journal and posted to the general ledger. The data comes from the worksheet ADJUSTMENTS columns. 13-5) The chapter describes the journalizing and posting of the closing entries. The data in the INCOME STATEMENT section of the worksheet can be used to journalize the closing entries. 13-5) To confirm that the general ledger is still in balance after the adjusting and closing entries have been posted, a postclosing trial balance is prepared. 13-6) Lastly, the chapter introduces reversing entries. At the start of each new period, many firms follow the practice of reversing certain adjustments that were made in the previous period. This is an optional procedure but with reversing entries there is no need to examine each transaction to see whether a portion applies to the past period and then divide the amount of the transaction between the two periods. 13-2 Copyright No reproduction or distribution without the prior written consent of McGraw-

How about if you were looking for a used car; in what part of the newspaper would you look?

Objective 13-6 13-35 Preparing a Postclosing Trial Balance Prepare a postclosing trial balance to confirm that the general ledger is in balance. Only the accounts that have balances the asset, liability and owner's capital accounts appear on the postclosing trial balance.

Revenue Expenses 13-36 Only the accounts that have balances the asset, liability and owner's capital accounts appear on the postclosing trial balance Temporary accounts do not appear on the postclosing trial balance Cost of Goods Sold Withdrawals 13-37 Step 4: Closing the Drawing Account This entry closes the drawing account into the capital account. Point out that the Income Summary is not used in this last closing entry. Posting the Closing Entries Remind students that the posting process is the same as covered in Chapter 6. Note that the words Closing entry is recorded in the Description column of the general ledger account when the entry is posted. Objective 6 C. Preparing a Post-closing Trial Balance Remind students that we prepare a postclosing trial balance to confirm that the general ledger is in balance. 13-13 Copyright No reproduction or distribution without the prior written consent of McGraw-
Preparing a Postclosing Trial Balance Point out that only permanent accounts will exist on this trial balance because all temporary accounts were closed. Review with students the difference between a trial balance, an adjusted trial balance and the post-closing trial balance. 13-38 D. Interpreting the Financial Statements Review the basic procedure for calculating a ratio. (One number is divided by another number. The result is the ratio of the numerator, or top number, to the denominator, or bottom number.) Teaching Tip: Poll students and write on the chalkboard the number of students who are (1) male, (2) female, (3) like pepperoni pizza, (4) don t like pepperoni pizza, (5) like scary movies, (6) don t like scary movies, (7) married, and (8) single. Then have students calculate the ratios of the following: (1) males to females (2) students who like pepperoni pizza to students who don t like pepperoni pizza (3) students who like scary movies to students who don t like scary movies; and (4) married students to single students. Have students draw conclusions about the ratios. Point out that businesses also use ratios to draw conclusions about their operations. 13-14 Copyright No reproduction or distribution without the prior written consent of McGraw-
Review with students the three ratios (gross profit percentage, current ratio, and inventory turnover). Then direct students attention to Figures 13-1 and 13-3 in order to point out the locations of the numbers used for each of the three ratios. Explain that ratios alone are not as meaningful as current ratios compared to past ratios and to ratios of other similar companies. These comparisons show how well a company is operating in relation to its past and to other companies. L1 Objective 13-7 QUESTION: Journalize and post reversing entries What are reversing entries? ANSWER: Reversing entries are journal entries made to reverse the effect of certain adjusting entries involving accrued income or accrued expenses. Step 1 Analyze transactions 13-39 The Accounting Cycle Step 2 Journalize the data about transactions Step 9 Interpret the financial information Step 8 Prepare a postclosing trial balance Step 3 Post the data about transactions 13-40 Step 7 Journalize and post closing entries Step 4 Prepare a worksheet Step 5 Prepare financial statements Step 6 Journalize and post adjusting entries Objective 7 E. Journalizing and Posting Reversing Entries Explain that reversing entries are made to reverse the effect of certain adjustments. This helps prevent errors in recording payments or cash receipts in the new accounting period. Identifying Items for Reversal Explain that reversing entries are journal entries made at the beginning of an accounting period that are the opposite of certain adjusting entries, particularly those for accrued expenses and income. Point out that normally the adjustments requiring reversal are: 13-15 Copyright No reproduction or distribution without the prior written consent of McGraw-
1. accrued expense items that will involve future payments of cash. 2. accrued future items that will involve future receipts of cash. 3. prepaid expense items that were initially treated as expenses, the endof-period adjustments for those items must be reversed. Journalizing Reversing Entries Review the reversing journal entries for Whiteside Antiques using a calendar time-line to illustrate the events. Note that the reversing entries involve cash that will be paid or received in the future. Point out that not all companies use reversing entries. In many small companies, accounting records are simple and accountants can easily recall adjustments made in the prior period. 13-16 Copyright No reproduction or distribution without the prior written consent of McGraw-
Flow of Financial Data through an Accounting System F. Review of the Accounting Cycle 13-41 Emphasize that, regardless of the type of business organization (merchandising or service), there is a flow of data that takes place in the accounting system. Also, the same basic nine steps that make up the accounting cycle must be performed: 1. Analyze transactions. 2. Journalize the data about transactions. 3. Post the data about transactions to the General Ledger. 4. Prepare a worksheet. 5. Prepare financial statements. 6. Journalize and post adjusting entries. 7. Journalize and post closing entries. 8. Prepare a post-closing trial balance. 9. Interpret the financial information. Managerial Implications: Ask, How can managers use financial statements to learn about a company s operating efficiency? Answer Managers can use financial statements to learn about a company s operating efficiency by using ratios and measurements to analyze the financial statement results and compare them to those measurements of prior periods and to similar businesses in the same industry. 13-17 Copyright No reproduction or distribution without the prior written consent of McGraw-
