On July 9, 2010, ABC Company provides legal service to a client, who agrees to pay $200 within one month.

On Aug 3, ABC Company receives a check of $200 from this client. When should you record revenue on the book?

Your company opens an electricity account with Amigo Energy which starts to supply energy on July 1, 2010. On August 4, you receive an electricity bill of $100 for the period July 1- 31. Does this expense belong to the month of July or August?

ACCRUAL ACCOUNTING
Records impact of transactions when they occur Records: Revenue when earned (e.g., sales on account) Expenses when incurred (e.g., purchase on account) No matter whether cash has been received or paid

In contrast, cash accounting records transactions when and only when cash payment or receipt is involved.
Which method provides more information?
3

Some of the transactions recorded in accrual accounting:


Cash transactions Collecting payments from customers Noncash transactions Sales on account

Borrowing money
Paying expenses

Depreciation expense
Purchases on account

Paying off loans


Issuing stock

Usage of prepaid expenses


Accrual of expenses not yet paid
Accrual accounting is more complex but also more complete and more informative.

Time Period Concept


Accounting information is reported at regular intervals-Year, quarter, month All businesses prepare annual financial statements The financial year (fiscal year) could be a calendar year or any other one year period (e.g. April 1 to March 31) In addition to annual reports, many companies produce interim financial reports as well (e.g. quarterly reports)

Revenue Principle
When to record

Amount to record

After revenue is earned:


When good or service has been delivered to customer

Cash value of goods or services transferred to customer

Matching Principle-align revenue with expenses


Expenses are matched against the revenue that was earned in a particular period Expenses incurred to generate revenues should be recorded in the same period. When revenues and expenses are properly matched, we get a reliable measure of net income (or net loss) Some expenses are paid in cash Others are not yet paid for (accruals) Certain other expenses arise from using up assets (e.g. supplies)
7

Question In which month should revenue be recorded?


A. In the month that cash is collected from the customer B. In the month the goods are shipped to the customer C. In the month that goods are ordered by the customer D. In the month that the invoice is mailed to the customer

From trial balance to financial statements: The Adjusting Process


In chapter 2, we saw trial balances and used to them to create financial statements That was an over-simplification What to do with utility bills we have not received yet? Wages not paid yet? The wear and tear of machinery? And the money paid by customer in advance? In reality, several accounts in trial balance needs to be brought up-to-date before financial statements are created This updating process is termed the adjusting process

The Adjusting Process


Adjusting entries are at the heart of accrual accounting. Accrue - to accumulate a receivable or payable during a given period even though no explicit cash transaction occurs The receivable or payable grows with time, but nothing changes with cash. The goal of adjusting entries is to assure that assets, liabilities, and stockholders equity are properly stated.

Adjusting process is usually made when the financial statements are about to be prepared. They are made in the form of adjusting journal entries that are posted to the T account.

Use T-accounts to analyze the balances and prepare the adjusted journal entries: First: decide what ending balances should appear in the asset (Prepaid Rent) and expense (Rent Expense) accounts. In this example, 7 months expense had been used, therefore $7,000 should be shown in Rent Expense ($1,2000/12 months x 7 months). Also, at December 31, there are still 5 months remaining (unused), and $5,000 should be shown in Prepaid Rent.

More about Accumulated Depreciation


Sum of all depreciation expenses Increases over plant assets life Contra-asset: a separate but related account that offsets or is a deduction from a companion account. Normal credit balance Always has a companion account Appear on Balance Sheet along with certain assets Book value of plant asset = Cost of plant asset - accumulated depreciation

Book value is also called carrying value.

Accrued Interest
Interest is much like rent paid for the use of borrowed money. Interest accumulates (accrues) as time goes on, regardless of when the interest is actually paid. Interest = Principal x Interest rate x Fraction of a year The entry to record the accrual of interest expense is very similar to the entry to record the accrual of wage expense.

Accrued Income Tax


As income is generated, income tax expense is accrued rather than paid by the company each time a dollar comes in.

The entry to record accrued income taxes is similar to the accrual of other expenses.

65

Current Ratio
Current assets Current liabilities
It measures ability of a business to pay current liabilities with its current assets Whats the implication if this current ratio is less than one?

As a rule of thumb, a strong current ratio is 1.50 Most successful businesses operate with current ratios between 1.20 and 1.50

The Statement of Cash Flows

Measures cash receipts and cash payments. Gives a direct picture of where cash came from (cash receipts) and where cash went (cash payment) during a period. Categorizes into three types of activities: operating (related to normal business activities, selling goods and services). investing (related to investments in long-term assets, selling or purchasing plants). financing (related to the business sources of fund, e.g. issuing stocks or debts).

Cash Flow from Operations Add back Depreciation


Depreciation is a non-cash expense that reduces net income. Therefore, it is added back to put net income on a cash basis.

2010 Pearson Prentice Hall. All rights reserved.

1-73

Cash Flow from Operations Increase in Accounts Receivable


An increase in accounts receivable increases net income because of the associated revenue. However, since no cash is provided, the increase is shown as a reduction to put net income on a cash basis.

2010 Pearson Prentice Hall. All rights reserved.

1-74

Cash Flow from Operations Decrease in accounts receivable


The reverse is true for a decrease in accounts receivable. A collection of accounts receivable provides cash but does not affect net income. Therefore, the decrease in this current asset is an addition to put net income on a cash basis.

2010 Pearson Prentice Hall. All rights reserved.

1-75

Cash Flow from OperationsIncrease in accounts payable


Consider accounts payable. An increase in accounts payable decreases net income because of the associated expense. However, since no cash is yet paid, the increase in this current liability is shown as an addition to put net income on a cash basis.

1-76

Cash Flow from Operations Decrease in accounts payable


The reverse is true for a decrease in accounts payable. A payment of accounts payable uses cash but does not affect net income. Therefore, the decrease in this current liability is a subtraction to put net income on a cash basis.
