Course Schedule Course Modules Review and Practice Exam Preparation Resources Module 3 Test your knowledge solutions a. 1. Incorrect. The entry to record depreciation includes a debit to an expense account. If this debit is not recorded, then net income on the income statement will be overstated (too high). If net income is overstated, then, on the balance sheet, equity is also overstated since net income affects equity. If the credit entry to Accumulated depreciation is not recorded, assets will be overstated on the balance sheet. 2. Incorrect. The entry to record depreciation includes a debit to an expense account. If this debit is not recorded, then net income on the income statement will be overstated (too high). If net income is overstated, then, on the balance sheet, equity is also overstated since net income affects equity. If the credit entry to Accumulated depreciation is not recorded, assets will be overstated on the balance sheet. 3. Incorrect. The entry to record depreciation includes a debit to an expense account. If this debit is not recorded, then net income on the income statement will be overstated (too high). If net income is overstated, then, on the balance sheet, equity is also overstated since net income affects equity. If the credit entry to Accumulated depreciation is not recorded, assets will be overstated on the balance sheet. 4. Correct. The entry to record depreciation includes a debit to an expense account. If this debit is not recorded, then net income on the income statement will be overstated (too high). If net income is overstated, then, on the balance sheet, equity is also overstated since net income affects equity. If the credit entry to Accumulated depreciation is not recorded, assets will be overstated on the balance sheet. b. 1. Correct. ($42,000 $6,000) 6 years = $6,000 per year. $3,000 of depreciation expense will be recorded for the truck during the year ended December 31, 20X1, because the truck was purchased on July 1, 20X1, resulting in a partial period of depreciation ($6,000 per year 6/12 = $3,000). 2. Incorrect. $42,000 6 years 6/12 = $3,500; this calculation neglected to account for the salvage value. 3. Incorrect. Salvage value is subtracted and not added to determine the net cost of the asset that must be amortized. 4. Incorrect. $6,000 represents depreciation for a full year; depreciation needs to be recorded from July 1 to December 31, which is six months. c. 1. Incorrect. A debit to Cash means cash is being received, which is not correct. A credit to Salaries payable implies salaries are being accrued; salaries are actually being paid on January 5, not accrued. FA1 - Module 3 Page 5 of 71

2. Incorrect. A debit to Cash means cash is being received, which is not correct. A credit to Prepaid salaries implies an asset is decreasing; the only asset decreasing on January 5 is Cash. 3. Correct. The full entry on January 5 would be: Salaries payable... XX Salaries expense... XX Cash... XX 4. Incorrect. A debit to Salaries payable is correct. However, the credit to Salaries expense means expenses are being reduced, which is incorrect. d. 1. Incorrect. The difference between income statement columns on the worksheet is a net loss because expenses (debits) are greater than revenues (credits). However, the loss is equal to the difference of $4,000. 2. Correct. The net loss of this business is $4,000, calculated as $56,500 less $52,500. Since the debits (expenses) are greater than the credits (revenues), the $4,000 difference represents a net loss. 3. Incorrect. The credit column of the income statement represents revenues and the debit column is expenses; therefore, since revenues are less than expenses, the difference of $4,000 cannot be a net income. 4. Incorrect. The credit column of the income statement represents revenues and the debit column is expenses; therefore, since revenues are less than expenses, the difference cannot be a net income. Moreover, the difference is $4,000. e. 1. Incorrect. Office equipment is an asset account. The post-closing trial balance includes assets because they are permanent accounts. 2. Incorrect. Accumulated depreciation, office equipment, is a contra-asset account. The post-closing trial balance includes contra-assets because they are permanent accounts. 3. Correct. Depreciation expense, office equipment, should not be included on the post-closing trial balance because expenses are temporary accounts, which are closed into Capital. If Depreciation expense, office equipment, appears on the postclosing trial balance, then it was not closed properly during the closing process. 4. Incorrect. Ted Nash, capital, is an equity account, which is a permanent account included on the post-closing trial balance. FA1 - Module 3 Page 6 of 71

Course Schedule Course Modules Review and Practice Exam Preparation Resources 3.1 GAAP and the need for adjustments Learning objective Explain the need for financial statements and account adjustments at the end of regular accounting periods, and the purpose of the accrual basis of accounting. (Level 1) Required reading LEVEL 1 Chapter 4, pages 130-134 Net income over the entire life of a business is relatively easy to measure. If you started a painting business in May and dissolved it in August, for example, net income would be the difference between the revenues collected and the expenses paid out. Most businesses, however, operate over many years. In fact, the goingconcern principle assumes that a business will continue for an indefinite period. This leads to the need for information about the business resources and its performance during specific periods. The timeliness principle The life of a business is arbitrarily divided into time periods of equal lengths called accounting periods to ensure that the users of financial statements receive timely information. The application of the timeliness principle normally results in financial statements being prepared on an annual basis. Most businesses choose to prepare interim financial reports on a monthly or quarterly basis as well so they can monitor their performance on an ongoing basis. Revenue recognition and matching principles The revenue recognition and matching principles introduced in Module 1 should also be considered. At the end of an accounting period, organizations must ensure that all revenue is recognized and that all expenses are matched to the revenues they helped to earn. Need for adjustments at the end of an accounting period Due to the passage of time and the manner in which a business recognizes revenues and matches expenses with revenues in the normal course, the balances of some accounts appearing on the unadjusted trial balance presented in Module 2 may not be current. Adjusting entries are required to bring a firm s records up-to-date so that its financial statements fairly represent its economic activity. Textbook activities Checkpoint Questions 1 to 4 on page 134 (Solutions on page 151) Quick Study 4-1 and 4-2 on page 161 (Solutions) FA1 - Module 3 Page 7 of 71

Quick Study 4-1 1. The timeliness principle has been violated since businesses must report at regular intervals which is normally in 1 year intervals or less. 2. The matching principle has been violated because the supplies purchased on September 30 will probably not have been used entirely on that date. Warren has not accurately matched the expense of using the supplies to the accounting period in which they were/will be used. 3. The revenue recognition principle has been violated. Although Mindy has collected the cash it is not a revenue until it has been earned. The $3,000 will not begin to be earned until June 1 therefore it should not be recorded as a revenue on May 3. Therefore, the $3,000 should be recorded as a liability (i.e., unearned revenue). 4. The matching principle has been violated. TelsCo has rented the equipment therefore an expense has been incurred although cash will not be paid until sometime in the future. Quick Study 4-2 Cash basis: Revenues (cash receipts)... $33,000 Expenses (cash payments) ($22,500 $2,250 + $3,750)... 24,000 Net income... $ 9,000 Accrual basis: Revenues (earned)... $39,000 Expenses (incurred)... 22,500 Net income... $16,500 FA1 - Module 3 Page 8 of 71

Course Schedule Course Modules Review and Practice Exam Preparation Resources 3.2 Adjusting the accounts Learning objective Prepare adjusting entries for prepaid expenses, depreciation, unearned revenues, accrued expenses, and accrued revenues. (Level 1) Required reading LEVEL 1 Chapter 4, pages 134-146 Appendix 4B, pages 157-159 Five types of adjustments are presented in the text prepaid expenses, depreciation, unearned revenues, accrued expenses, and accrued revenues. Each adjustment affects both the balance sheet and income statement. It is important that you master these adjustments, so work through the examples in this topic and those in the text carefully. Prepaid expenses A prepaid expense is an economic benefit that has been paid for in advance of its use. There are two methods of recording prepaid expenses. The first, which is covered in Chapter 4, is the asset method. The concept behind the asset method is that the related expenditures are initially recorded as an asset and then subsequently charged to expense as the asset is consumed. This is the method that you are most likely to see in practice. Some companies, however, initially record all prepayments as expenses. If there is any asset remaining at the end of the accounting period, then an adjusting entry is recorded. This manner of treatment is known as the expense method, which is covered in Appendix 4B on pages 157-159. Note that the asset recorded on your balance sheet and the amount charged to expense for the period will be the same, irrespective of the method chosen. You can see this illustrated on pages 157-158 in Appendix 4B. This outcome serves to highlight an important point. Specifically, on a day-to-day basis, a company can record entries in any manner it chooses, as GAAP do not specify a firm's method of bookkeeping. In preparing the year-end financial statements, however, a company must prepare the necessary adjustments to ensure that they comply with GAAP. Textbook activities Depreciation Checkpoint Question 5 on page 136 (Solution on page 151) Quick Study 4-3 on page 161 (Solution) Depreciation is an accounting term used in conjunction with the process of assigning the cost of plant and equipment assets (for example, equipment and buildings) to the periods that they contribute to the firm s revenues. It is important to note that depreciation is a method of cost allocation, not asset valuation. A plant and equipment asset whose market value is increasing is still depreciated because while the asset generates FA1 - Module 3 Page 9 of 71

revenues, it gradually wears out. (An exception is land, which is never depreciated because it lasts forever.) To match the expense of the asset to the revenues it is generating, the cost of the asset must be spread over its useful life as an expense. Textbook activities Judgement Call on page 138 (solution on page 151) Checkpoint Questions 6 and 7 on page 138 (Solutions on page 151) Quick Study 4-4 on page 161 (Solution) Unearned revenues Unearned revenue (also called deferred revenue) is a liability account. The balance represents payment received in advance for goods or services that have not yet been provided. For example, a magazine may sell a one-year subscription to a subscriber, collecting money in advance. Cash is debited to record the amount received, while unearned revenue is credited in a corresponding amount to reflect the obligation to provide the magazines in the future. Unearned revenue is earned when the goods are delivered or services are provided. In the case of the magazine, and assuming that it publishes one issue per month, 1/12 of the revenue would be earned each month. The term "payable" is typically not used when the obligation is to be settled by the provision of goods or services. Textbook activities Accrued expenses Checkpoint Questions 8 and 9 on page 139 (Solutions on page 151) Quick Study 4-5 on page 161 (Solution) According to the matching principle, expenses must be recorded in the same period as the revenues that were earned as a result of the expenses. Adjusting entries are required when expenses that have not yet been recorded have been incurred during the accounting period. To facilitate this requirement, accrued expenses are recorded by preparing adjusting entries. Two examples of expenses that may not have been recorded during the year are The cost of cellular phone service from a provider such as Fido: This is likely to occur as the invoice for the service provided in December is not usually received until January. Employees wages: This typically occurs when the employees normal payday (such as every second Friday) does not coincide with the company year end. As such, the firm owes the employees' wages for the hours worked between the last payroll and year end. Note: The solution to Checkpoint Question 10 should be changed as follows: The omission of the $6,900 interest utility expense accrual will cause liabilities to be understated by $6,900 and equity to be overstated by $6,900. Textbook activity Checkpoint Questions 10 and 11 on page 142 (Solutions on page 151) FA1 - Module 3 Page 10 of 71

Accrued revenues The revenue recognition principle requires that revenue be recorded during the period that it is earned, regardless of when the actual cash is collected. Adjusting entries are required when revenue that has been earned during the accounting period has not yet been recorded. To satisfy this condition, accrued revenues are also recorded by preparing adjusting entries. A business that repairs a furnace on December 31 but does not send the invoice until January 5 would need to accrue revenues at December 31 to reflect the fact that this as yet unrecorded revenue had been earned. Textbook activities Checkpoint Question 13 on page 144 (Solution on page 151) Quick Study 4-8 on page 162 (Solution) Accrued adjustments in later periods Expenses accrued at the end of an accounting period will affect the recording of the related cash payments in the next period. Similarly, the accrued revenues recorded at the end of one period will result in cash receipts in a subsequent period. You should be clear about how these items are journalized in the subsequent accounting period. The Mid-Chapter Demonstration Problem on pages 145-146 (included in the textbook activities following) is an example.

Course Schedule Course Modules Review and Practice Exam Preparation Resources 3.3 Adjusted trial balance and preparation of financial statements Learning objective Prepare an adjusted trial balance and use it to prepare financial statements. (Level 1) Required reading LEVEL 1 Chapter 4, pages 147-150 After the adjusting entries have been recorded and posted to the general ledger, a new trial balance is prepared. This report is called an adjusted trial balance to reflect the fact that the account balances now recorded include the required end-of-period adjustments. Exhibit 4.22 on page 147 demonstrates how to prepare the adjusted trial balance using a partial work sheet. The Unadjusted trial balance numbers reflect the balances in the ledger accounts before the adjusting journal entries at the end of the accounting period. The Adjustments columns show the adjustments that must be made to various accounts to bring them to their proper balances. The adjusted trial balance is the result of the unadjusted trial balance and the adjustments. The account balances on the adjusted trial balance are the up-to-date ledger balances (which will be used in the preparation of the income statement), statement of changes in equity, and balance sheet. Accounts are normally arranged in the ledger, and therefore on the trial balance, in the order that they appear in the statements that is, assets, liabilities, owner s equity, revenues, and expenses. Each account on the adjusted trial balance is therefore either a balance sheet account, a statement of changes in equity account, or an income statement account. Exhibit 4.23 on page 148 demonstrates how the accounts from the income statement, the statement of changes in equity, and the balance sheet are created using the adjusted trial balance. The income statement is prepared first because the net income amount is needed to complete the statement of changes in equity. The closing capital balance from this latter statement is in turn carried forward to the balance sheet, which is prepared last.

Course Schedule Course Modules Review and Practice Exam Preparation Resources 3.4 The work sheet Learning objective Prepare financial statements for a service business from the information in a work sheet. (Level 2) Required reading LEVEL 2 Chapter 5, pages 190-195 A work sheet is a working paper used by an accountant to organize accounting information for preparing the financial statements and adjusting entries. Preparing work sheets is an optional procedure in the accounting cycle and summarizes steps 4, 5, and 6 shown in Exhibit 5.1 on page 190. Financial statements are used externally and must follow certain formats. Work sheets, however, are informal documents for the accountant s use only and enable the accountant to see the entire accounting process from beginning to end. It s important to note that a worksheet does not eliminate the need to journalize and post adjustments to the ledger. It is merely a tool to assist with the process. When all entries are posted to the ledger, balances should be checked against the worksheet account balances to ensure the adjustments are correct. The benefits of using a work sheet and the required steps to complete them are explained on pages 190-194. An example illustrating these five steps is provided in Exhibit 5.3 on page 193. Work through this example to help you understand the steps in preparing a work sheet.

Course Schedule Course Modules Review and Practice Exam Preparation Resources 3.5 Closing entries Learning objective Prepare closing entries for a service business. (Level 1) Required reading LEVEL 1 Chapter 5, pages 196-201 Accounts are either permanent or temporary in nature. Balance sheet accounts are permanent accounts, while income statement accounts and the withdrawals account are temporary. Permanent accounts are continuous accounts their balances are carried forward from one accounting period to the next. Using cash as an example, the cash account balance fluctuates during the accounting period as deposits and payments are made. The ending cash balance from one period becomes the beginning cash balance for the next period; therefore, the account continues from one period to the next. Temporary accounts are periodic accounts, and at the end of each accounting period their balances are closed (transferred) to owner s equity. The revenue account, for example, is a temporary account. The revenue account for each accounting period begins with a zero balance. Closing entries transfer the balances in the temporary accounts (revenue, expense, and withdrawals accounts) to a balance sheet equity account (owner s capital for a sole proprietorship). The closing process is described and illustrated on pages 196-201. Work through the example in Exhibits 5.7 to 5.9 and check your understanding of the subject.
