  7. Timing Issues Accountants divide the economic life of a business into artificial time periods (Time Period Assumption). . . . . . Jan. Feb. Mar. Apr. Dec. • Generally a month, a quarter, or a year. • Fiscal year vs. calendar year • Also known as the “Periodicity Assumption”

  8. Timing Issues Review The time period assumption states that: a. revenue should be recognized in the accounting period in which it is earned. b. expenses should be matched with revenues. c. the economic life of a business can be divided into artificial time periods. d. the fiscal year should correspond with the calendar year.

  9. Timing Issues Accrual- vs. Cash-Basis Accounting • Accrual-Basis Accounting • Transactions recorded in the periods in which the events occur • Revenues are recognized when earned, rather than when cash is received. • Expenses are recognized when incurred, rather than when paid.

  10. Timing Issues Accrual- vs. Cash-Basis Accounting • Cash-Basis Accounting • Revenues are recognized when cash is received. • Expenses are recognized when cash is paid. • Cash-basis accounting is not in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).

  11. Timing Issues Review One of the following statements about the accrual basis of accounting is false. That statement is: • Events that change a company’s financial statements are recorded in the periods in which the events occur. • Revenue is recognized in the period in which it is earned. • The accrual basis of accounting is in accord with generally accepted accounting principles. • Revenue is recorded only when cash is received, and expenses are recorded only when cash is paid.

  12. The Basics of Adjusting Entries • Adjusting entries make it possible to report correct amounts on the balance sheet and on the income statement. • A company must make adjusting entries every time it prepares financial statements.

  13. The Basics of Adjusting Entries • Revenues- recorded in the period in which they are earned. • Expenses - recognized in the period in which they are incurred. • Adjusting entries- needed to ensure that the revenue recognition and matching principles are followed.

  14. Timing Issues Review Adjusting entries are made to ensure that: a. expenses are recognized in the period in which they are incurred. b. revenues are recorded in the period in which they are earned. c. balance sheet and income statement accounts have correct balances at the end of an accounting period. d. all of the above.

  15. Types of Adjusting Entries Deferrals Accruals 1.Prepaid Expenses.Expenses paid in cash and recorded as assets before they are used or consumed. 3. Accrued Revenues. Revenues earned but not yet received in cash or recorded. 2. Unearned Revenues. Revenues received in cash and recorded as liabilities before they are earned. 4. Accrued Expenses. Expenses incurred but not yet paid in cash or recorded.

  16. Trial Balance Trial Balance – Each account is analyzed to determine whether it is complete and up-to-date. Illustration 3-3

  17. Adjusting Entries for Deferrals • Deferralsare either: • Prepaid expenses • OR • Unearned revenues.

  18. Adjusting Entries for “Prepaid Expenses” Payment of cash that is recorded as an asset because service or benefit will be received in the future. Cash Payment Expense Recorded BEFORE Prepayments often occur in regard to: • rent • maintenance on equipment • fixed assets (depreciation) • insurance • supplies • advertising

  19. Adjusting Entries for “Prepaid Expenses” Adjusting entries for prepaid expenses Illustration 3-4 • Increases (debits) an expense account and • Decreases (credits) an asset account.

  20. Prepaid ExpensesExample On September 1, 1998, Bob’s Bait Shop prepaid its rent for the next twelve months. Rent is $200 per month. GENERAL JOURNAL 1 Page: Date Description PR Debit Credit Prepare the proper initial journal entry.

  21. Prepaid ExpensesExample On September 1, 1998, Bob’s Bait Shop prepaid its rent for the next twelve months. Rent is $200 per month. GENERAL JOURNAL 1 Page: Date Description PR Debit Credit 1-Sep Prepaid Rent 2,400 Cash 2,400 to record prepayment of twelve months of rent

  22. Prepaid ExpensesExample Bob’s fiscal year-end is December 31. Record the adjustment necessary on December 31 for the prepaid rent. GENERAL JOURNAL 1 Page: Date Description PR Debit Credit Prepare the proper adjusting journal entry.

  23. Prepaid ExpensesExample Bob’s fiscal year-end is December 31. Record the adjustment necessary on December 31 for the prepaid rent. GENERAL JOURNAL 1 Page: Date Description PR Debit Credit 31-Dec Rent Expense 800 Prepaid Rent 800 to record recognition of four months of rent expense $200 x 4 months = $800

  24. Adjusting Entries for “Prepaid Expenses” Illustration:Pioneer Advertising Agency purchased advertising supplies costing $2,500 on October 5. This account shows a balance of $2,500 in the October 31 trial balance. An inventory count at the close of business on October 31 reveals that $1,000 of supplies are still on hand. Oct. 31 Advertising supplies expense 1,500 Advertising supplies 1,500

  25. For example: the general ledger shows a balance in the supplies account of $2,000. Inventory shows $500 of supplies still on hand Supplies Balance $2,000 Inventory 500 Used up 1,500 Adjusting Entries Supplies expense $1500 Supplies $1500 Supplies

  26. Example 1 • the general ledger shows that the balance in the supplies account is $4,000. An inventory is conducted of supplies and it is found that only $2,500 of supplies is still on hand. Record the adjusting entry for the use of supplies.

  27. Prepaid insurance • The G/L shows the balance are $6,000. The policy was purchased on May 1st for 12 months. Record the adjusting entry on Dec 31 for insurance expired. • $6,000/12 = 500 per month • May to Dec = 8 months x $500 = • $4,000 is expired

  28. Prepaid insurance Adjusting entry Insurance exp $4,000 Prepaid insurance $4,000

  29. Example 2: • the general ledger shows that the balance in the prepaid insurance account is $12000. The policy was purchased on Aug 1st for 12 months. Record the adjusting entry for the insurance expired.

  30. Adjusting Entries for “Prepaid Expenses” • Depreciation • Buildings, equipment, and vehicles (long-lived assets) are recorded as assets, rather than an expense, in the year acquired. • Companies report a portion of the cost of a long-lived asset as an expense (depreciation) during each period of the asset’s useful life (Matching Principle).

  31. Adjusting Entries for “Prepaid Expenses” Illustration: Pioneer Advertising estimates depreciation on the office equipment to be $480 a year, or $40 per month. Oct. 31 Depreciation expense 40 Accumulated depreciation 40

  32. Adjusting Entries for “Prepaid Expenses” • Depreciation (Statement Presentation) • Accumulated Depreciation is a contra asset account. • Appears just after the account it offsets (Equipment) on the balance sheet. Illustration 3-8
