BAT 4M: Chapter 3 ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS 01. (a) Under the time period assumption, an accountant is required to determine the relevance of each business transaction to specific accounting periods, and its effects on those periods. (b) An accounting time period of one year in length is referred to as a fiscal year. A fiscal year that extends from January 1 to December 31 is referred to as a calendar year. Accounting periods of less than one year are called interim periods. 2. The two generally accepted accounting principles that pertain to adjusting the accounts are: 1. The revenue recognition principle, which states that revenue should be recognized in the time period in which it is earned. 2. The matching principle, which states that efforts (expenses) should be matched with accomplishments (revenues). 03. The law firm should recognize the revenue in April. The revenue recognition principle states that revenue should be recognized in the accounting period in which it is earned (i.e., when the work is done). 04. Expenses of $4,500 ($2,000 + $2,500) should be deducted from the revenues in April. Under the matching principle, efforts (expenses) should be matched with accomplishments (revenues). 05. Information presented on an accrual basis is useful because it reveals relationships that are likely to be important in predicting future results. To illustrate, under accrual accounting, revenues are recognized when earned so they can be related to the economic environment in which they occur. Trends in revenues are thus more meaningful. 06. The balance in total owner s equity should not equal the balance in the cash account. Owner s equity reflects the net amount the owners have invested in the company, which comprises total assets not just cash net of liabilities. 3-1
Questions Chapter 3 (Continued) 07. No, adjusting entries are required by the revenue recognition and matching principles. 08. A trial balance may not contain up-to-date information for financial statements because: 1. Some events are not journalized daily because it is unnecessary and inefficient to do so. 2. The expiration of some costs occurs with the passage of time rather than as a result of recurring daily transactions. 3. Some items may be unrecorded because the transaction data are not known. 09. The three categories of adjusting entries are prepayments, accruals, and estimates. Prepayments consist of transactions in which the cash is exchanged in advance resulting in prepaid expenses and unearned revenues. Accruals consist of transactions in which the cash will be exchanged later, resulting in accrued revenues and accrued expenses. Because we don t always know what will happen in the future, estimates are required. One example of an estimate is the allocation of the cost of a capital asset over its estimated useful life. 10. If the original purchase was recorded as an asset, then in the adjusting entry expenses are debited (to increase them) and assets are credited (to decrease them). 11. In the adjusting entry, liabilities are debited (to decrease them) and revenues are credited (to increase them). 12. It may have credited unearned revenue or accounts receivable. 13. Asset and revenue. An asset (a receivable) is debited and revenue is credited. 14. Utilities Expense is debited and Accounts Payable (a liability) is credited. 3-2
Questions Chapter 3 (Continued) 15. On the income statement, net income was understated $300. Prior to adjustment, revenues are understated by $900 and expenses are understated by $600. The impact on net income is $300 ($900 $600). On the balance sheet, accounts receivable are understated by $900, accounts payable are understated by $600, and owner s equity understated by $300 (see net income). 16. The entry is: Jan. 9 Salaries Payable... 1,700 Salaries Expense... 3,300 Cash... 5,000 17. (a) Accrued revenues. (b) Unearned revenues. (c) Accrued expenses. (d) Accrued expenses, prepaid expenses, or estimates (amortization). (e) Prepaid expenses or estimates (amortization). (f) Accrued revenues or unearned revenues. 18. No. Amortization is the process of allocating the cost of an asset to expense over its useful life in a rational and systematic manner. Amortization results in the presentation of the book value of the asset, not its market value. 19. Amortization expense is an expense account whose normal balance is a debit. This account shows the cost that has expired during the current accounting period. Accumulated amortization is a contra asset account whose normal balance is a credit. The balance in this account is the total of all the amortization that has been recognized from the date of acquisition to the balance sheet date. *20. Equipment... $12,000 Less: Accumulated amortization... 7,000 Net book value... 5,000 3-3
Questions Chapter 3 (Continued) 21. (a) Salaries Payable is credited. (b) Accumulated Amortization is credited. (c) Interest Expense is debited. (d) Supplies Expense is debited. (e) Service Revenue is credited. (f) Service Revenue is credited. 22. Disagree. An adjusting entry affects only one balance sheet account and one income statement account. 23. Financial statements can be prepared from an adjusted trial balance because the balances of all accounts have been adjusted to show the effects of all financial events that have occurred during the accounting period. *24. For Supplies Expense: expenses are overstated and assets (prepaid expense) are understated. The adjusting entry is: Assets (Supplies)... Expenses (Supplies Expense)... XX XX For Rent Revenue: revenues are overstated and liabilities (unearned revenues) are understated. The adjusting entry is: Revenues (Rent Revenue)... Liabilities (Unearned Rent)... XX XX 3-4

SOLUTIONS TO EXERCISES EXERCISE 3-1 (a) Accrual basis accounting records the events that change an entity s financial statements in the periods in which the events occur, rather than in the periods in which the entity receives or pays cash. That is, revenue is recognized when it is earned. Expenses are recognized when services or goods are used or consumed in the production of revenue. Information presented on an accrual basis is useful because it reveals relationships that are likely to be important in predicting future results. Conversely, under the cash basis of accounting, revenue is recorded only when cash is received, and an expense is recognized only when cash is paid. As a result, the cash basis of accounting often leads to misleading financial statements. (b) (c) The government is not using either the cash or accrual basis of accounting. It is using some other basis that is not a generally accepted accounting policy. The government may believe it is appropriate because the commitment to spend the funds has been made. Dear Member of Parliament, It is my understanding that the Federal government is making changes in the method of accounting it uses and is switching from the cash basis of accounting to the accrual basis. I understand in 2001 accrual accounting is fully in use. The government is to be commended for this change. The use of full accrual accounting will provide a more accurate reflection of the true costs of services that government provides and a more complete reflection of its assets and liabilities. This will result in improved information for decision makers and citizens. Sincerely, ACCOUNTING STUDENT 3-12

PROBLEM 3-3A Students may find this to be a fairly challenging problem, so here are a few points that should help: Under the CASH BASIS, revenues are recorded when they are collected (received in cash), even if they were earned (the sale was made) earlier; Under the ACCRUAL BASIS of accounting, revenues are recorded when they are earned (the sale is made) even if the cash is not collected until later, or is received prior to the revenue being earned. Under the CASH BASIS, expenses are recorded when the cash is paid out; and Under the ACCRUAL BASIS of accounting, expenses are recorded when the cost has expired or been used up, which is not always in the same time period as when the cash is paid out. For example, Under the CASH BASIS, Supplies are recorded as expenses as soon as they are purchased and paid for; Under the ACCRUAL BASIS of accounting, Supplies are not recorded as expenses until they have been used up. While the supplies are still on hand, they are recorded as assets because they have future benefits; Under the CASH BASIS, amounts such as Unpaid Wages Owing at the end of 2002 would not be considered expenses until they are actually paid out in 2003; and Under the ACCRUAL BASIS of accounting, Unpaid Wages Owing at the end of 2002 would be considered expenses in 2002, because the cost was incurred or used up during 2002 even though the cash will not be paid out until 2003. 3-28

The revenue recognition principle states that revenue is recognized when it is earned. The fees of $30,000 for summer rentals have not been earned and, therefore, should not be reported in income for the quarter ended March 31. The matching principle dictates that efforts (expenses) be matched with accomplishments (revenues). This means that the expenses should include amounts incurred in March but not paid until April, and any other costs related to the operations of the business during the period January March. (2) The difference in expenses was $7,290 ($47,990 $40,700). The overstatement of revenues ($30,000) plus the understatement of expenses ($7,290) equals the difference in reported income of $37,290 ($54,300 $17,010). 3-34
