Introduction to Accounting
ACCOUNTING defined.
“Accounting is the process of IDENTIFYING, RECORDING, and
COMMUNICATING economic events of an organization to interested users.”
Explain the three highlighted words in the definition of accounting:
IDENTIFYING – this involves selecting economic events that are relevant to a
particular business transaction.
The economic events of an organization are referred to as transactions. Examples
of economic events or transactions - In a bakery business:
• sales of bread and other bakery products
• purchases of flour that will be used for baking
• purchases of trucks needed to deliver the products
RECORDING – this involves keeping a chronological diary of events that are
measured in pesos. The diary referred to in the definition are the journals and
ledgers which will be discussed in future chapters.
COMMUNICATING – occurs through the preparation and distribution of financial
and other accounting reports.

1. The nature of accounting
According to Accounting Theory “Accounting is a systematic recording of financial
transactions and the presentation of the related information to appropriate
persons.” Based on this definition we can derive the following basic features of
accounting:
• Accounting is a service activity. Accounting provides assistance to decision
makers by providing them financial reports that will guide them in coming up with
sound decisions.
• Accounting is a process: A process refers to the method of performing any
specific job step by step according to the objectives or targets.
Accounting is identified as a process, as it performs the specific task of collecting,
processing and communicating financial information. In doing so, it follows some
definite steps like the collection, recording, classification, summarization,
finalization, and reporting of financial data.
• Accounting is both an art and a discipline. Accounting is the art of recording,
classifying, summarizing and finalizing financial data. The word ‘art’ refers to the
way something is performed. It is behavioral knowledge involving a certain
creativity and skill to help us attain some specific objectives. Accounting is a
systematic method consisting of definite techniques and its proper application
requires skill and expertise. So by nature, accounting is an art. And because it
follows certain standards and professional ethics, it is also a discipline.
• Accounting deals with financial information and transactions: Accounting
records financial transactions and data, classifies these and finalizes their results
given for a specified period of time, as needed by their users. At every stage, from
start to finish, accounting deals with financial information and financial information
only. It does not deal with non-monetary or non-financial aspects of such
information.
• Accounting is an information system: Accounting is recognized and
characterized as a storehouse of information. As a service function, it collects
processes and communicates financial information of any entity. This discipline of
knowledge has evolved to meet the need for financial information as required by
various interested groups.
Function of accounting in business.
Accounting is the means by which business information is communicated
to business owners and stakeholders. The role of accounting in business is
to provide information for managers and owners to use in operating the

business. In addition, accounting information allows business owners to
assess the efficiency and effectiveness of their business operations.
Prepared accounting reports can be compared with industry standards or
to a leading competitor to determine how the business is doing. Business
owners may also use historical financial accounting statements to create
trends for analyzing and forecasting future sales.
Accounting is considered as the language of business.
Accounting helps the users of these financial reports to see the true picture
of the business in financial terms. In order for a business to survive, it is
important that a business owner or manager be well-informed.
The function of accounting in business.
Mr. Juan is a retired government employee who is good at baking. One day he
decides to put up a bakery shop in your barangay. He renovates a portion of his
house to serve as the area for the production of bread. He purchases baking
equipment and raw materials to produce five different types of bread. Mr. Juan also
hires Jose to help him with the baking and, at the same time, to be in-charge of
sales. Mr. Juan pays Jose on a weekly basis. Every day, Mr. Juan’s wife deposits
the daily cash sales in their bank account at XY Savings Bank. With the help of
accounting, what possible decisions or questions of Mr. Juan can accounting
provide an answer to?
• Is my business earning? (profitability)
• How much daily or monthly sales do I need in order to recover my fixed cost?
(break-even)
• Do I need to hire additional workers to help me with my production?
• Can I afford to set up a new store in another place? Where do I get the funds?
• Can I afford to pay a bank loan?

The history of accounting
Accounting is as old as civilization itself. It has evolved in response to various
social and economic needs of men. Accounting started as a simple recording of
repetitive exchanges. The history of accounting is often seen as indistinguishable
from the history of finance and business.
The evolution of accounting:
• The Cradle of Civilization
Around 3600 B.C., record-keeping was already common from Mesopotamia,
China and India to Central and South America. The oldest evidence of this practice
was the “clay tablet” of Mesopotamia which dealt with commercial transactions at
the time such as listing of
accounts receivable and accounts payable.
• 14th Century - Double-Entry Bookkeeping
The most important event in accounting history is generally considered to be the
dissemination of double entry bookkeeping by Luca Pacioli (‘The Father of
Accounting’) in 14th century Italy. Pacioli was much revered in his day, and was a
friend and contemporary of Leonardo da Vinci. The Italians of the 14th to 16th
centuries are widely acknowledged as the fathers of modern accounting and were
the first to commonly use Arabic numerals, rather than Roman, for tracking
business accounts. Luca Pacioli wrote Summa de Arithmetica, the first book
published that contained a detailed chapter on double-entry bookkeeping.
• French Revolution (1700s)
The thorough study of accounting and development of accounting theory began
during this period. Social upheavals affecting government, finances, laws, customs
and business had greatly influenced the development of accounting.
• The Industrial Revolution (1760-1830)
Mass production and the great importance of fixed assets were given attention
during this period.
• 19th Century – The Beginnings of Modern Accounting in Europe and
America
The modern, formal accounting profession emerged in Scotland in 1854 when
Queen Victoria granted a Royal Charter to the Institute of Accountants in Glasgow,
creating the profession of the Chartered Accountant (CA).

In the late 1800s, chartered accountants from Scotland and Britain came to the
U.S. to audit British investments. Some of these accountants stayed in the U.S.,
setting up accounting practices and becoming the origins of several U.S.
accounting firms. The first national U.S. accounting society was set up in 1887.
The American Association of Public Accountants was the forerunner to the current
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA).
In this period rapid changes in accounting practice and reports were made.
Accounting standards to be observed by accounting professionals were
promulgated. Notable practices such as mergers, acquisitions and growth of
multinational corporations were developed.
A merger is when one company takes over all the operations of another business
entity resulting in the dissolution of another business.
Businesses expanded by acquiring other companies. These types of transactions
have challenged accounting professionals to develop new standards that will
address accounting issues related to these business combinations.
• The Present - The Development of Modern Accounting Standards and
Commerce
The accounting profession in the 20th century developed around state
requirements for financial statement audits. Beyond the industry's self-regulation,
the government also sets accounting standards, through laws and agencies such
as the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). As economies worldwide
continued to globalize, accounting regulatory bodies required accounting
practitioners to observe International Accounting Standards. This is to assure
transparency and reliability, and to obtain greater confidence on accounting
information used by global investors.
Nowadays, investors seek investment opportunities all over the world. To remain
competitive, businesses everywhere feel the need to operate globally. The trend
now for accounting professionals is to observe one single set of global accounting
standards in order to have greater transparency and comparability of financial data
across borders.

Branches of Accounting
Branches of Accounting
According to Investopedia, “Accounting is divided into several branches to better
serve the needs of different users with varying information needs. These branches
sometimes overlap and they are often closely intertwined.”
Financial Accounting
Financial accounting is the broadest branch and is focused on the needs of
external users. Financial accounting is primarily concerned with the recognition,
measurement and communication of economic activities. This information is
communicated in a complete set of financial statements. It is assumed under this
branch that the users have one common information need. Financial accounting
conforms with accounting standards developed by standard-setting bodies. In the
Philippines, there is a Council created to set these standards.
Examples of these financial reports include:
• the balance sheet (statement of financial condition)
• income statement (the profit and loss statement, or P&L)
• statement of cash flows
Financial accounting is primarily concerned with processing historical data.
Although financial accounting generally meets the needs of external users, internal
users of accounting information also use this information for their decision-making
needs.

Management (or Managerial) Accounting
Management accounting emphasizes the preparation and analysis of accounting
information within the organization. The objective of managerial accounting is to
provide timely and relevant information for those internal users of accounting
information, such as the managers
and employees in their decision-making needs. Oftentimes, these are sensitive
information and is not distributed to those outside the business - for example,
prices, plans to open up branches, customer list, etc.
Managerial accounting involves financial analysis, budgeting and forecasting, cost
analysis, evaluation of business decisions, and similar areas.
Government Accounting
Government accounting is the process of recording, analyzing, classifying,
summarizing, communicating and interpreting financial information about the
government in aggregate and in detail reflecting transactions and other economic
events involving the receipt, spending, transfer, usability and disposition of assets
and liabilities. This branch of accounting deals with how the funds of the
government are recorded and reported.
Government accounting deals with these transactions, the recording of inflow and
outflow of funds of the government.
Auditing
There are two types of auditing: external and internal auditing. External auditing
refers to the examination of financial statements by an independent CPA (Certified
Public Accountant) with the purpose of expressing an opinion as to fairness of
presentation and compliance with the generally accepted accounting principles
(GAAP). The audit does not cover 100% of the accounting records but the CPA
reviews a selected sample of these records and issues an audit report.
Internal auditing deals with determining the operational efficiency of the company
regarding the protection of the company’s assets, accuracy and reliability of the
accounting data, and adherence to certain management policies. It focuses on
evaluating the adequacy of a company's internal control structure by testing
segregation of duties, policies and procedures, degrees of authorization, and other
controls implemented by management.

Tax Accounting. Tax accounting helps clients follow rules set by tax authorities.
It includes tax planning and preparation of tax returns. It also involves
determination of income tax and other taxes, tax advisory services such as ways
to minimize taxes legally, evaluation of the consequences of tax decisions, and
other tax-related matters.
Cost Accounting.
Sometimes considered as a subset of management
accounting, cost accounting refers to the recording, presentation, and analysis of
manufacturing costs. Cost accounting is very useful in manufacturing businesses
since they have the most complicated costing process.
Cost accountants also analyze actual and standard costs to help managers
determine future courses of action regarding the company's operations.
Cost accounting will also help the owner set the selling price of his products. For
example, if the cost accounting records shows that the total cost to produce one
can of sardines is PHP50, then the owner can set the selling price at PHP60.
Accounting Education. This branch of accounting deals with developing future
accountants by creating relevant accounting curriculum. Accounting professionals
can become faculty members of educational institutions. Accounting educators
contribute to the development of the profession through their effective teaching,
publications of their research and influencing students to pursue careers in
accounting. Accounting teachers share their knowledge on accounting so that
students are informed of the importance of accounting and its use in our daily lives.
Accounting Research. Accounting research focuses on the search for new
knowledge on the effects of economic events on the process of summarizing,
analyzing, verifying, and reporting standardized financial information, and on the
effects of reported information on economic events. Researchers typically choose
a subject area and a methodology on which to focus their efforts.
The subject matter of accounting research may include information systems,
auditing and assurance, corporate governance, financials, managerial, and tax.
Accounting research plays an essential part in creating new knowledge. Academic
accounting research "addresses all aspects of the accounting profession" using a
scientific method. Practicing accountants also conduct accounting research that
focuses on solving problems for a client or group of clients. The Accounting
research helps standard-setting bodies around the world to develop new standards
that will address recent issues or trend in global business.

Users of Accounting
“Who uses accounting data or information?”
Users of Accounting Information
The accounting process provides financial data for a broad range of individuals
whose objectives in studying the data vary widely. Three primary users of
accounting information were previously identified, Internal users, External users,
and Government/ IRS. Each group uses accounting information differently, and
requires the information to be presented differently.
Accounting information consists of sets of financial statements which is useful for
internal users (primary users) of an organization as well as external users
(secondary users).
There are two broad categories of users of financial information: internal and
external users.
INTERNAL USERS
Internal users of accounting information are those individuals inside a company
who plan, organize, and run the business. These users are directly involved in
managing and operating the business. These include marketing managers,
production supervisors, finance directors, company officers and owners Engage
the learners in a question-and-answer type lecture.
Accounting supplies managers and owners with significant financial data that is
useful for decision making. This type of accounting in generally referred to as
managerial accounting.
Some of the ways internal users employ accounting information include the
following:
Assessing how management has discharged its responsibility for protecting and
managing the company’s resources
Shaping decisions about when to borrow or invest company resources
Shaping decisions about expansion or downsizing
What information will that user need that can be answered by accounting?”

Internal users (Primary Users) of accounting information include the
following:
Management
Information need: income/earnings for the period, sales, available cash, production
cost Decisions supported: analyze the organization's performance and position
and take appropriate measures to improve the company results. sufficiency of cash
to pay dividends to stockholders; pricing decisions.
Organization’s management requires accounting information for analyzing the
performance and actual position of the business. Accounting information helps the
management to arrive at an evaluated decision. It helps with cost determination,
investment decisions, helps to identify warning signals in case of a downfall etc.
Employees
Employees are interested to know the accounting details of their organization so
that they are aware of overall profitability of the company which has a direct impact
on their remuneration and job security.
Information need: profit for the period, salaries paid to employees Decisions
supported: job security, consider staying in the employ of the company or look for
other employment opportunities.
Owners
Information need: profit or income for the period, resources or assets of the
business, liabilities of the business Decisions supported: considerations regarding
additional investment, expanding the business, borrowing funds to support any
expansion plans.
Accounting information is presented to internal users usually in the form of
management accounts, budgets, forecasts and financial statements. This
information will support whatever decision of the internal users.
The external users of accounting information
Owners are more concerned about the returns they get out of their investment in
the organization and this purpose is fulfilled through the accounting information.
Not only do they want their capital safe they are also interested in knowing the
profit earned or loss incurred by the business time to time.

EXTERNAL USERS
External users are individuals and organizations outside a company who want
financial information about the company. These users are not directly involved in
managing and operating the business. The two most common types of external
users are potential investors and creditors.
Potential Investors use accounting information to make decisions to buy shares of
a company . Creditors (such as suppliers and bankers) use accounting information
to evaluate the risks of granting credit or lending money. Also included as external
users are government regulatory agencies such as Securities and Exchange
Commission (SEC), Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR), Department of Labor and
Employment (DOLE), Social Security System (SSS), and Local Government Units
(LGUs).
Typically called financial accounting, the record of a business’ financial history for
use by external entities is used for many purposes. The external users of
accounting information fall into six groups; each has different interests in the
company and wants answers to unique questions. The groups and some of their
possible questions are:
External users (Secondary Users) of accounting information include the
following:
Creditors: for determining the credit worthiness of an organization. Terms of credit
are set by creditors according to the assessment of their customers' financial
health. Creditors include suppliers as well as lenders of finance such as banks.
Tax Authorities (BIR): for determining the credibility of the tax returns filed on
behalf of a company.
Investors: for analyzing the feasibility of investing in a company. Investors want
to make sure they can earn a reasonable return on their investment before they
commit any financial resources to a company.
Similar to owners, external investors are concerned about their ROI (Return on
Investment) from the organization. Since investors do not have a direct control
over the business operations they use accounting information to find out how their
money is being spent by the managers. It helps them in decision-making such as
whether to increase, decrease or hold their investments.

Customers: for assessing the financial position of its suppliers which is necessary
for them to maintain a stable source of supply in the long term.
They are a complex group which includes producers at every level of processing,
wholesalers, retailers, and end users. Good financial health shows that customers
at each level are comfortable with continuous inflow of stock from the
business. Customers use the accounting information for assessing the financial
position of its suppliers which is essential for maintaining a stable source of supply
in future.
Regulatory Authorities (SEC, DOLE): for ensuring that a company's disclosure
of accounting information is in accordance with the rules and regulations set in
order to protect the interests of the stakeholders who rely on such information in
forming their decisions.
Regulatory and Tax Authorities – Regulatory Authorities including the govt.
agencies ensure that the accounting information is prepared based on the
accounting principles, standards and rules & regulations governing the
organization. The primary objective is to protect the interest of the stakeholders of
the organization. Correct tax evaluation is also done by the authorities after
analyzing the financial statements.
Banks & NBFCs – They are a crucial part of any business environment since they
advance both short & long-term loans to a business. Accounting information helps
them in determining the creditworthiness of the organization. Based on the
financial health of an organization, the future terms and conditions of credit are
assessed by the Banks and NBFCs.
Suppliers – Other businesses which supply goods to an organization on credit
would also want to assess the repaying capacity of that organization before
providing any form of credit. Accounting information plays a crucial role in this
case.
Public – General public would want to know the financial health of a business to
get a fair idea of the firm’s niche & overall economy of the nation. It can help to
analyze employment trends, the general financial stability of a country etc.

SUMMARY OF THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL
USERS
Internal users of accounting information are those who are involved in planning,
organizing and running the business. They need more detailed information on a
timely basis in order to support their decisions. Examples of these internal users
are managers, employees and owners.
The external users of accounting information are those individuals or organizations
outside a company who are interested in its financial information. Examples of
these external users are potential investors, suppliers and government agencies.
1. Is the Local Government Unit (LGU) interested in your accounting reports?
Possible Answer:
Yes. The LGU will check whether you are paying your local taxes. As required,
businesses must have a business permit before they are allowed to operate in
the city or municipality. This is renewed every year, with appropriate taxes paid.
The local government may review your accounting records to check whether
you are declaring or paying the correct taxes.
2. Are the officers of the Local Government Unit internal or external users? Why?
Possible Answer: External. They are not directly involved in the operation or
management of the business.

Forms of Business Organizations
Forms of Business Organizations:
A. Concept of sole/single proprietorship.
“Suppose you want to open your own sari-sari store that will need PHP10,000 to
start and you used your PHP10,000 savings to start the said business. You are the
sole owner of the said sari-sari store. This type of business is called sole/single
proprietorship.”
Sole/single proprietorship.
• A form of business is owned by one person; the simplest, and the most common
form of business organization
• It is not separate from the owner. The business and the owner are inseparable
The advantages of sole/single proprietorship.
• The owner keeps all the profits.
• The owner makes all the decisions.
• It is easy to form and operate.
The disadvantages of sole/single proprietorship.
• The life of the business is limited to the life of the owner. Once the owner dies,
the business will cease to operate under the name of the proprietor.
• The amount of capital is limited only by the wealth of the proprietor.
B. Concept of partnership:
“What if the needed amount to start your dream sari-sari store is PHP50,000 and
you only have PHP25,000 cash savings. You ask Juan, your friend if he is willing
to invest his PHP25,000 and become part owner of the sari-sari store. Assuming
he agrees, what form of business organization was created?”
Partnerships
• A form of business owned by two or more persons. The details of the
arrangement between the partners are outlined in a written document called
articles of partnership.

P a g e 19 | 201
lOMoARcPSD|11706204
• Profits are divided among partners based on their agreed sharing.
• The owner is called a partner.
The advantages of a partnership
• Higher capital because two or more persons will contribute to the common fund.
• It is easy to operate like a sole/single proprietorship
The disadvantages of a partnership
• The profits are divided among the partners.
• A partner can be held liable for the acts of the other partners.
• In a lawsuit, the personal properties of the partners can be held beyond their
contributions and may be used to answer for any liability of the partnership.
C. The concept of a corporation:
“Assuming your dream is to open a grocery store and not just a sari-sari store but
you will need PHP1,000,000 to start the said business. You have only PHP25,000,
your friend Juan has PHP25,000, and your mother is willing to invest her
PHP50,000, but still these are not enough to start your dream grocery store. Where
will you get the money to raise the PHP1 million? You may consider setting up a
corporation?”

A corporation is a business organized as a separate legal entity (artificial
person) under the corporation law with ownership divided into transferable
shares of stocks
Corporation Code of the Philippines creates a corporation.
The corporation begins its existence from the date the Articles of Incorporation
is approved by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
The SEC (Securities and Exchange Commission) is the government agency
primarily tasked to regulate private corporations in the Philippines.
The owners are called stockholders or shareholders.
The word ‘Corporation/Incorporation/Corp./Inc.’ appears in the name of the
entity.
The voting rights of a shareholder is generally based on the percentage of
ownership.
The management of the business is delegated by the shareholders to the Board
of Directors
The ownership is divided into shares and the value of one share may be
denominated at a smaller amount, for example at PHP10 per share.
The proof of ownership is evidenced by a stock certificate.

The advantages of a corporation
• Can easily raise additional funds by selling shares of stocks to the public.
• Shareholders are not personally liable for the debts of the corporation.
The extent of their liability is limited to their equity (ownership) in the corporation.
The disadvantages of a corporation
• It is relatively complicated to set up.
• Subject to several legal restrictions as listed in the Corporation Code of the
Philippines
D. The nature of cooperatives:
“Assuming all the mothers in your barangay decided to open a sari-sari store where
all the members can buy in cash or in credit. Some mothers were also taught how
to sew dresses and bags as part of the project of the group. These bags are then
sold to a certain company.
Aside from that, the organization provides seminars to the members on various
topics involving mothers and their roles. At the end of the year, the profits are
distributed among the members based on their capital contribution.
The amount of their purchases in the sari-sari store during the year is also
computed and they receive something out of the profit/surplus based on their
purchases. This form of business organization is called a cooperative.

But it can be too easy because the Cooperative Code of the Philippines (RA 6938)
has devised very clear-cut steps for the cooperative organizer and members. The
following are the basic information that the prospective members should
understand before organizing a cooperative.

There are nine (9) steps suggested in setting up a cooperative.
FIRST. Get organized. You must have at least 15 members to do that. At once
determine the common problems you would want solved and the basic needs you
would want provided for through a cooperative. You may want to include increasing
your production, marketing your produce, credit assistance, power generation,
banking or insurance and other similar needs. Determining your problems and
needs will also help you classify the kind of cooperative you will be organizing.
Even before a cooperative is set up, a dedicated core group people who will do all
the organizational and paper works is a must. From this core group, working
communities may be formed to set things moving. These committees may include
membership, finance, executive, secretariat to name a few.
SECOND. Reserved your proposed cooperative name. Secure and fill up
Cooperative Name Reservation Request Form (CNRRF). This must be submitted
to CDA Central Office or any of its Extension Office. A reservation fee shall apply.
Please click Name Reservation button.
THIRD. Prepare a general statement called an economic survey. Economic Survey
is a general statement describing, among others, the structure and purposes of the
proposed cooperative. The structure and actual staffing pattern shall include a
bookkeeper. This should indicate the area of operation, the size of membership
and other pertinent data in a format provided by the Authority.
FOURTH. Prepare the cooperative's by-laws. The by-laws contain the rules and
regulations governing the operation of the cooperative.
FIFTH. Prepare the articles of cooperation. Mandatory contents of the articles of
cooperation are the following:
(a) the name of the cooperative, which must include the word "cooperative";
(b) the purpose or purposes and scope of business for which the cooperative is to
be registered;

and a statement of whether the cooperative is primary, secondary or tertiary. The
articles of cooperation shall be signed by each of the organizers and
acknowledged by them if natural persons, and by the chairpersons or secretaries,
if juridical persons, before a notary public. .
SIXTH. Secure bond of accountable officer(s). A surety bond should be secured
from a duly registered insurance or bonding company. Every director, officer and
employee handling funds, securities or property on behalf of the cooperative shall
be covered by this. The board of directors shall determine the adequacy of such
bonds.

Types of Business According to
Activities
Three (3) types of business organizations:
• Service Business. This type of business offers professional skills, advice and
consultations.
Examples: barber shops and beauty parlors, repair shops, banks, accounting and
law firms
• Merchandising Business. This type of business buys at wholesale and later
sells the products at retail. They make a profit by selling the merchandise or
products at prices that are higher than their purchase costs. This type of business
is also known as "buy and sell".
Examples are: book stores, sari-sari stores, hardware stores
• Manufacturing Business. This type of business buys raw materials and uses
them in making a new product, therefore combining raw materials, labour and
expenses into a product for sale later on.
Examples are: shoe manufacturing businesses, car manufacturing plants
Additional information:
There are businesses that may be classified under more than one type of business.
A bakery, for example, combines raw materials in making loaves of bread
(manufacturing), sells hot pan de sal (merchandising), and caters customers’
orders in small coffee table servings of ensaymada and hot coffee (service).
What are 'Business Activities'
Business activities include any activity engaged in the primary purpose of making
a profit. This is a general term that encompasses all the economic activities carried
out by a company during the course of business. Business activities, including
operating, investing and financing activities, are ongoing and focused on creating
value for shareholders.

BREAKING DOWN 'Business Activities'
There are three main types of business activities: operational, investing and
financing. The cash flows used and created by each of these activities is listed in
the annual report within the financial statement referred to as the cash flow
statement. The cash flow statement is meant to be a reconciliation of net income
with cash flow. Each line item on the income statement and balance sheet is
identified according to business activity. Noncash items deducted from net income
are added back to net income and noncash items added to net income are
deducted from cash flows. The end result is a report that gives the investor a
summary of both cash and noncash business activities within the company.
Operating Business Activities
The first section of the cash flow statement is cash flow from operating activities.
These activities include many items from the income statement and current portion
of the balance sheet. The cash flow statement adds back and deducts certain
noncash items such as depreciation, amortization, accounts receivable and
accounts payable. These line items impact the net income statement but do not
result in a movement of cash in or out of the company. If cash flows from business
activities resulting from operations are negative, it means the company must be
financing operating activities with investing activities or financing activities.
Investing Business Activities
The second section in the statement of cash flows is investing activities. These are
business activities that are capitalized over more than one year. The purchase of
long-term assets is recorded as a use of cash in this section. Likewise, the sale of
real estate is shown as a source of cash. The line item "capital expenditures" is
considered an investing activity and can be found in this section of the cash flow
statement.
Financing Business Activities
The final section of the cash flow statement is the financing activities section. This
section provides an overview of all business activities related to financing. These
include initial public offerings, secondary offerings and debt financing. The section
also shows the amount of cash being paid out for dividends, share repurchases
and interest. Any business activity related to financing and fundraising efforts is
included in this section of the cash flow statement.
FORMS OF BUSINESS ORGANIZATIONS
Accountants frequently refer to a business organization as an accounting entity or
a business entity. A business entity is any business organization, such as a
Fundamentals of Accounting, Business Management 1
Downloaded by Resty Quito (restyquito2290@gmail.com)
P a g e 42 | 201
lOMoARcPSD|11706204
hardware store or grocery store, that exists as an economic unit. For accounting
purposes, each business organization or entity has an existence separate from its
owner(s), creditors, employees, customers, and other businesses. This separate
existence of the business organization is known as the business entity concept.
Thus, in the accounting records of the business entity, the activities of each
business should be kept separate from the activities of other businesses and from
the personal financial activities of the owner(s).
As you will see shortly, the business entity concept applies to the four main forms
of businesses—single proprietorships, partnerships, and corporations. Thus, for
accounting purposes, all four business forms are separate from other business
entities and from their owner(s).
A single proprietorship is an unincorporated business owned by an
individual and often managed by that same person. Single proprietors include
physicians, lawyers, electricians, and other people in business for themselves.
Many small service businesses and retail establishments are also single
proprietorships. No legal formalities are necessary to organize such businesses,
and usually business operations can begin with only a limited investment. The
most attractive feature of a proprietorship is that there is no “double taxation”. Both
proprietorships and partnerships do not pay taxes on profits at the business level.
The only taxes paid are at the personal level—this occurs when proprietors and
partners pay taxes on their share of their company’s income. On the other hand, a
business owner is personally liable for all debts of his or her company. This is
called unlimited liability. If you’re a sole proprietorship and the debts of your
business exceed its assets, creditors can seize your personal assets to cover the
proprietorship’s outstanding business debt.
A partnership is an unincorporated business owned by two or more
persons associated as partners. Often the same persons who own the business
also manage the business. Many small retail establishments and professional
practices, such as dentists, physicians, attorneys, and many CPA firms, are
partnerships. Unlimited liability is even riskier in the case of a partnership. Each
partner is personally liable not only for his or her own actions but also for the
actions of all the partners. If, through mismanagement by one of your partners, the
partnership is forced into bankruptcy, the creditors can go after you for all
outstanding debts of the partnership.

A corporation is a business incorporated under the laws of a state
and owned by a few stockholders or thousands of stockholders. Almost all large
businesses and many small businesses are incorporated. The corporation is
unique in that it is a separate legal business entity. The owners of the corporation
are stockholders, or shareholders. Stockholders do not directly manage the
corporation. They elect a board of directors to represent their interests.
Accounting is necessary for all forms of business organizations, and each
company must follow generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).
TYPES OF ACTIVITIES PERFORMED BY BUSINESS ORGANIZATIONS
The forms of business entities discussed in the previous section are classified
according to the type of ownership of the business entity. Business entities can
also be grouped by the type of business activities they perform—service
companies, merchandising companies, and manufacturing companies. Any of
these activities can be performed by companies using any of the three forms of
business organizations.
•Service companies perform services for a fee. This group includes accounting
firms, law firms, and dry cleaning establishments.
•Merchandising companies purchase goods that are ready for sale and then sell
them to customers. Merchandising companies include auto dealerships, clothing
stores, and supermarkets.
•Manufacturing companies buy materials, convert them into products, and then sell
the products to other companies or to the final consumers. Manufacturing
companies include steel mills, auto manufacturers, and clothing manufacturers.

All of these companies produce financial statements as the final end product of
their accounting process. These financial statements provide relevant financial
information both to those inside the company—management—and to those
outside the company—creditors, stockholders, and other interested parties. The
next section introduces four common financial statements—the income statement,
the statement of retained earnings, the balance sheet, and the statement of cash
flows.
IMPORTANT POINTS TO REMEMBER
Business entity is any business organization, such as super market, or accounting
firm, that exists as an economic unit.
Business entity principle states that a business must be keep accounting records
separate from its owners or other businesses.
Ownership in business entities can be a sole proprietorship, partnership, or
corporation. From the accounting perspective and its purpose these types of
business are considered separate entities from their owners. The corporation is
only one considered as a separate legal entity.
A business can be a service company, merchandising company, or a
manufacturing company.
NEW TERMS
Asset Things of value owned by the business. Examples include cash, machines,
and buildings. To their owners, assets possess service potential or utility that can
be measured and expressed in money terms.
Business Entity is any business organization that exists as an economic unit.
Liabilities Debts owed by a business—or creditors’ equity. Examples: notes
payable, accounts payable.
Stockholders’ equity The owners’ interest in a corporation.

Accounting Concepts and Principles
Accounting Principles
Introduction to Accounting Principles
There are general rules and concepts that govern the field of accounting. These
general rules–referred to as basic accounting principles and guidelines–form the
groundwork on which more detailed, complicated, and legalistic accounting rules
are based. For example, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) uses
the basic accounting principles and guidelines as a basis for their own detailed and
comprehensive set of accounting rules and standards.
The phrase "generally accepted accounting principles" (or "GAAP") consists of
three important sets of rules: (1) the basic accounting principles and guidelines,
(2) the detailed rules and standards issued by FASB and its predecessor the
Accounting Principles Board (APB), and (3) the generally accepted industry
practices.
If a company distributes its financial statements to the public, it is required to follow
generally accepted accounting principles in the preparation of those statements.
Further, if a company's stock is publicly traded, federal law requires the company's
financial statements be audited by independent public accountants. Both the
company's management and the independent accountants must certify that the
Fundamentals of Accounting, Business Management 1
Downloaded by Resty Quito (restyquito2290@gmail.com)
P a g e 51 | 201
lOMoARcPSD|11706204
financial statements and the related notes to the financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with GAAP.
GAAP is exceedingly useful because it attempts to standardize and regulate
accounting definitions, assumptions, and methods. Because of generally accepted
accounting principles we are able to assume that there is consistency from year to
year in the methods used to prepare a company's financial statements. And
although variations may exist, we can make reasonably confident conclusions
when comparing one company to another, or comparing one company's financial
statistics to the statistics for its industry. Over the years the generally accepted
accounting principles have become more complex because financial transactions
have become more complex.
Basic Accounting Principles and Guidelines
Since GAAP is founded on the basic accounting principles and guidelines, we can
better understand GAAP if we understand those accounting principles. The
following is a list of the ten main accounting principles and guidelines together with
a highly condensed explanation of each.
Business entity principle – a business enterprise is separate and distinct from
its owner or investor.
Examples :
o If the owner has a barber shop, the cash of the barber shop should be
reported separately from personal cash.
o The owner had a business meeting with a prospective client. The
expenses that come with that meeting should be part of the company’s
expenses. If the owner paid for gas for his personal use, it should not be
included as part of the company’s expenses.
1. Economic Entity Assumption
The accountant keeps all of the business transactions of a sole proprietorship
separate from the business owner's personal transactions. For legal purposes, a
sole proprietorship and its owner are considered to be one entity, but for
accounting purposes they are considered to be two separate entities.
2. Monetary Unit Assumption
Economic activity is measured in U.S. dollars, and only transactions that can be
expressed in U.S. dollars are recorded.
Because of this basic accounting principle, it is assumed that the dollar's
purchasing power has not changed over time. As a result, accountants ignore the
Fundamentals of Accounting, Business Management 1
Downloaded by Resty Quito (restyquito2290@gmail.com)
P a g e 52 | 201
lOMoARcPSD|11706204
effect of inflation on recorded amounts. For example, dollars from a 1960
transaction are combined (or shown) with dollars from a 2017 transaction.
Monetary unit principle – amounts are stated into a single monetary unit
Example :
o Jollibee should report financial statements in pesos even if they have a
store in the United States.
o IHOP should report financial statements in dollars even if they have a
branch here in the Philippines
3. Time Period Assumption
This accounting principle assumes that it is possible to report the complex and
ongoing activities of a business in relatively short, distinct time intervals such as
the five months ended May 31, 2017, or the 5 weeks ended May 1, 2017. The
shorter the time interval, the more likely the need for the accountant to estimate
amounts relevant to that period. For example, the property tax bill is received on
December 15 of each year. On the income statement for the year ended December
31, 2016, the amount is known; but for the income statement for the three months
ended March 31, 2017, the amount was not known and an estimate had to be
used.
It is imperative that the time interval (or period of time) be shown in the heading of
each income statement, statement of stockholders' equity, and statement of cash
flows. Labeling one of these financial statements with "December 31" is not good
enough–the reader needs to know if the statement covers the one week ended
December 31, 2017 the month ended December 31, 2017 the three months ended
December 31, 2017 or the year ended December 31, 2017.
Time period principle – financial statements are to be divided into specific time
intervals.
Example:
o Philippine companies are required to report financial statements annually.
o the salary expenses from January to December 2015 should only be reported in
2015.
4. Cost Principle
From an accountant's point of view, the term "cost" refers to the amount spent
(cash or the cash equivalent) when an item was originally obtained, whether that
purchase happened last year or thirty years ago. For this reason, the amounts
shown on financial statements are referred to as historical cost amounts.
Fundamentals of Accounting, Business Management 1
Downloaded by Resty Quito (restyquito2290@gmail.com)
P a g e 53 | 201
lOMoARcPSD|11706204
Because of this accounting principle asset amounts are not adjusted upward for
inflation. In fact, as a general rule, asset amounts are not adjusted to
reflect any type of increase in value. Hence, an asset amount does not reflect the
amount of money a company would receive if it were to sell the asset at today's
market value. (An exception is certain investments in stocks and bonds that are
actively traded on a stock exchange.) If you want to know the current value of a
company's long-term assets, you will not get this information from a company's
financial statements–you need to look elsewhere, perhaps to a third-party
appraiser.
Cost principle – accounts should be recorded initially at cost.
Example :
o When Jollibee buys a cash register, it should record the cash register at
its price when they bought it.
o When a company purchases a laptop, it should be recorded at the price it
was purchased.
5. Full Disclosure Principle
If certain information is important to an investor or lender using the financial
statements, that information should be disclosed within the statement or in the
notes to the statement. It is because of this basic accounting principle that
numerous pages of "footnotes" are often attached to financial statements.
As an example, let's say a company is named in a lawsuit that demands a
significant amount of money. When the financial statements are prepared it is not
clear whether the company will be able to defend itself or whether it might lose the
lawsuit. As a result of these conditions and because of the full disclosure principle
the lawsuit will be described in the notes to the financial statements.
A company usually lists its significant accounting policies as the first note to its
financial statements.
Disclosure principle – all relevant and material information should be reported.
Example:
The company should report all relevant information.
6. Going Concern Principle
This accounting principle assumes that a company will continue to exist long
enough to carry out its objectives and commitments and will not liquidate in the
foreseeable future. If the company's financial situation is such that the accountant
Fundamentals of Accounting, Business Management 1
Downloaded by Resty Quito (restyquito2290@gmail.com)
P a g e 54 | 201
lOMoARcPSD|11706204
believes the company will not be able to continue on, the accountant is required to
disclose this assessment.
The going concern principle allows the company to defer some of its prepaid
expenses until future accounting periods.
Going concern principle – business is expected to continue indefinitely.
Example: When preparing financial statements, you should assume that the entity
will continue indefinitely.
7. Matching Principle
This accounting principle requires companies to use the accrual basis of
accounting. The matching principle requires that expenses be matched with
revenues. For example, sales commissions expense should be reported in the
period when the sales were made (and not reported in the period when the
commissions were paid). Wages to employees are reported as an expense in the
week when the employees worked and not in the week when the employees are
paid. If a company agrees to give its employees 1% of its 2017 revenues as a
bonus on January 15, 2018, the company should report the bonus as an expense
in 2017 and the amount unpaid at December 31, 2017 as a liability. (The expense
is occurring as the sales are occurring.)
Because we cannot measure the future economic benefit of things such as
advertisements (and thereby we cannot match the ad expense with related future
revenues), the accountant charges the ad amount to expense in the period that
the ad is run.
Matching principle – cost should be matched with the revenue generated.
Example:
When you provide tutorial services to a customer and there is a transportation cost
incurred related to the tutorial services, it should be recorded as an expense for
that period.
8. Revenue Recognition Principle
Under the accrual basis of accounting (as opposed to the cash basis of
accounting), revenues are recognized as soon as a product has been sold or a
service has been performed, regardless of when the money is actually received.
Under this basic accounting principle, a company could earn and report P20,000
of revenue in its first month of operation but receive P0 in actual cash in that month.
Fundamentals of Accounting, Business Management 1
Downloaded by Resty Quito (restyquito2290@gmail.com)
P a g e 55 | 201
lOMoARcPSD|11706204
For example, if ABC Consulting completes its service at an agreed price of P1,000,
ABC should recognize P1,000 of revenue as soon as its work is done—it does not
matter whether the client pays the P1,000 immediately or in 30 days. Do not
confuse revenue with a cash receipt.
9. Materiality
Because of this basic accounting principle or guideline, an accountant might be
allowed to violate another accounting principle if an amount is insignificant.
Professional judgement is needed to decide whether an amount is insignificant or
immaterial.
An example of an obviously immaterial item is the purchase of a P150 printer by a
highly profitable multi-million-dollar company. Because the printer will be used for
five years, the matching principle directs the accountant to expense the cost over
the five-year period. The materiality guideline allows this company to violate the
matching principle and to expense the entire cost of P150 in the year it is
purchased. The justification is that no one would consider it misleading if P150 is
expensed in the first year instead of P30 being expensed in each of the five years
that it is used.
Because of materiality, financial statements usually show amounts rounded to the
nearest dollar, to the nearest thousand, or to the nearest million dollars depending
on the size of the company.
Materiality principle – in case of assets that are immaterial to make a difference
in the financial statements, the company should instead record it as an expense.
Example:
A school purchased an eraser with an estimated useful life of three years. Since
an eraser is immaterial relative to assets, it should be recorded as an expense.
10. Conservatism
If a situation arises where there are two acceptable alternatives for reporting an
item, conservatism directs the accountant to choose the alternative that will result
in less net income and/or less asset amount. Conservatism helps the accountant
to "break a tie." It does not direct accountants to be conservative. Accountants are
expected to be unbiased and objective.
The basic accounting principle of conservatism leads accountants to anticipate or
disclose losses, but it does not allow a similar action for gains. For
example, potential losses from lawsuits will be reported on the financial statements
or in the notes, but potential gains will not be reported. Also, an accountant may
write inventory down to an amount that is lower than the original cost, but will not
write inventory up to an amount higher than the original cost.

Conservatism principle – also known as prudence. In case of doubt, assets and
income should not be overstated while liabilities and expenses should not be
understated.
Example: In case of doubt, expenses should be recorded at a higher amount.
Revenue should be recorded at a lower amount.
11. Objectivity principle – financial statements must be presented with
supporting evidence.
Example:
o When the customer paid Jollibee for their order, Jollibee should have a
copy of the receipt to represent as evidence.
When a company incurred a transportation expense, a voucher should be
prepared as evidence.
12. Accrual Accounting Principle – revenue should be recognized when earned
regardless of collection and expenses should be recognized when incurred
regardless of payment. On the other hand, the cash basis principle in which
revenue is recorded when collected and expenses should be recorded when paid.
Cash basis is not the generally accepted principle today.
Example:
When a barber finishes performing his services, he should record it as revenue.
When the barber shop receives an electricity bill, it should record it as an expense
even if it is unpaid.
Other Characteristics of Accounting Information
When financial reports are generated by professional accountants, we have certain
expectations of the information they present to us:



We expect the accounting information to be reliable, verifiable, and
objective.
We expect consistency in the accounting information.
We expect comparability in the accounting information.
1. Reliable, Verifiable, and Objective
In addition to the basic accounting principles and guidelines listed in Part 1,
accounting information should be reliable, verifiable, and objective. For example,
showing land at its original cost of P10,000 (when it was purchased 50 years ago)
is considered to be more reliable, verifiable, and objective than showing it at its
Fundamentals of Accounting, Business Management 1
Downloaded by Resty Quito (restyquito2290@gmail.com)
P a g e 57 | 201
lOMoARcPSD|11706204
current market value of P250,000. Eight different accountants will wholly agree that
the original cost of the land was P10,000—they can read the offer and acceptance
for P10,000, see a transfer tax based on P10,000, and review documents that
confirm the cost was P10,000. If you ask the same eight accountants to give you
the land's current value, you will likely receive eight different estimates. Because
the current value amount is less reliable, less verifiable, and less objective than
the original cost, the original cost is used.
The accounting profession has been willing to move away from the cost principle if
there are reliable, verifiable, and objective amounts involved. For example, if a
company has an investment in stock that is actively traded on a stock exchange,
the company may be required to show the current value of the stock instead of its
original cost.
2. Consistency
Accountants are expected to be consistent when applying accounting principles,
procedures, and practices. For example, if a company has a history of using
the FIFO cost flow assumption, readers of the company's most current financial
statements have every reason to expect that the company is continuing to use the
FIFO cost flow assumption. If the company changes this practice and begins using
the LIFO cost flow assumption, that change must be clearly disclosed.
3. Comparability
Investors, lenders, and other users of financial statements expect that financial
statements of one company can be compared to the financial statements of
another company in the same industry. Generally accepted accounting
principles may provide for comparability between the financial statements of
different companies. For example, the FASB requires that expenses related to
research and development (R&D) be expensed when incurred. Prior to its rule,
some companies expensed R&D when incurred while other companies deferred
R&D to the balance sheet and expensed them at a later date.
How Principles and Guidelines Affect Financial Statements
The basic accounting principles and guidelines directly affect the way financial
statements are prepared and interpreted. Let's look below at how accounting
principles and guidelines influence the (1) balance sheet, (2) income statement,
and (3) the notes to the financial statements.
1. Balance Sheet
Let's see how the basic accounting principles and guidelines affect the balance
sheet of Mary's Design Service, a sole proprietorship owned by Mary Smith. (To

learn more about the balance sheet go to Explanation of Balance Sheet and Quiz
for Balance Sheet.)
A balance sheet is a snapshot of a company's assets, liabilities, and owner's equity
at one point in time. (In this case, that point in time is after all of the transactions
through September 30, 2017 have been recorded.) Because of the economic entity
assumption, only the assets, liabilities, and owner's equity specifically identified
with Mary's Design Service are shown—the personal assets of the owner, Mary
Smith, are not included on the company's balance sheet.

Total Liabilities

Equity

The assets listed on the balance sheet have a cost that can be measured and each
amount shown is the original cost of each asset. For example, let's assume that a
tract of land was purchased in 1956 for P10,000. Mary's Design Service still owns
the land, and the land is now appraised at P250,000. The cost principle requires
that the land be shown in the asset account Land at its original cost of P10,000
rather than at the recently appraised amount of P250,000.
If Mary's Design Service were to purchase a second piece of land, the monetary
unit assumption dictates that the purchase price of the land bought today would
simply be added to the purchase price of the land bought in 1956, and the sum of
the two purchase prices would be reported as the total cost of land.
The Supplies account shows the cost of supplies (if material in amount) that were
obtained by Mary's Design Service but have not yet been used. As the supplies
are consumed, their cost will be moved to the Supplies Expense account on the
income statement. This complies with the matching principle which requires
expenses to be matched either with revenues or with the time period when they
are used. The cost of the unused supplies remains on the balance sheet in the
asset account Supplies.
The Prepaid Insurance account represents the cost of insurance that has not yet
expired. As the insurance expires, the expired cost is moved to Insurance
Fundamentals of Accounting, Business Management 1
Downloaded by Resty Quito (restyquito2290@gmail.com)
P a g e 59 | 201
lOMoARcPSD|11706204
Expense on the income statement as required by the matching principle. The cost
of the insurance that has not yet expired remains on Mary's Design Service's
balance sheet (is "deferred" to the balance sheet) in the asset account Prepaid
Insurance. Deferring insurance expense to the balance sheet is possible because
of another basic accounting principle, the going concern assumption.
The cost principle and monetary unit assumption prevent some very valuable
assets from ever appearing on a company's balance sheet. For example,
companies that sell consumer products with high profile brand names, trade
names, trademarks, and logos are not reported on their balance sheets because
they were not purchased. For example, Coca-Cola's logo and Nike's logo are
probably the most valuable assets of such companies, yet they are not listed as
assets on the company balance sheet. Similarly, a company might have an
excellent reputation and a very skilled management team, but because these were
not purchased for a specific cost and we cannot objectively measure them in
dollars, they are not reported as assets on the balance sheet. If a company actually
purchases the trademark of another company for a significant cost, the amount
paid for the trademark will be reported as an asset on the balance sheet of the
company that bought the trademark.
2. Income Statement
Let's see how the basic accounting principles and guidelines might affect the
income statement of Mary's Design Service.
An income statement covers a period of time (or time interval), such as a year,
quarter, month, or four weeks. It is imperative to indicate the period of time in the
heading of the income statement such as "For the Nine Months Ended September
30, 2017". (This means for the period of January 1 through September 30, 2017.)
If prepared under the accrual basis of accounting, an income statement will show
how profitable a company was during the stated time interval.

lOMoARcPSD|11706204
Revenues are the fees that were earned during the period of time shown in the
heading. Recognizing revenues when they are earned instead of when the cash is
actually received follows the revenue recognition principle and the matching
principle. (The matching principle is what steers accountants toward using the
accrual basis of accounting rather than the cash basis. Small business owners
should discuss these two methods with their tax advisors.)
Gains are a net amount related to transactions that are not considered part of the
company's main operations. For example, Mary's Design Service is in the business
of designing, not in the land development business. If the company should sell
some land for P30,000 (land that is shown in the company's accounting records at
P25,000) Mary's Design Service will report a Gain on Sale of Land of P5,000. The
P30,000 selling price will not be reported as part of the company's revenues.
Expenses are costs used up by the company in performing its main operations.
The matching principle requires that expenses be reported on the income
statement when the related sales are made or when the costs are used up (rather
than in the period when they are paid).
Losses are a net amount related to transactions that are not considered part of the
company's main operating activities. For example, let's say a retail clothing
company owns an old computer that is carried on its accounting records at P650.
If the company sells that computer for P300, the company receives an asset (cash
of P300) but it must also remove P650 of asset amounts from its accounting
records. The result is a Loss on Sale of Computer of P350. The P300 selling price
will not be included in the company's sales or revenues.
3. The Notes To Financial Statements
Another basic accounting principle, the full disclosure principle, requires that a
company's financial statements include disclosure notes. These notes include
information that helps readers of the financial statements make investment and
credit decisions. The notes to the financial statements are considered to be an
integral part of the financial statements.

The Accounting Equation
The Accounting Equation
Introduction to the Accounting Equation
From the large, multi-national corporation down to the corner beauty salon, every
business transaction will have an effect on a company's financial position. The
financial position of a company is measured by the following items:



Assets (what it owns)
Liabilities (what it owes to others)
Owner's Equity (the difference between assets and liabilities)
The accounting equation (or basic accounting equation) offers us a simple way to
understand how these three amounts relate to each other. The accounting
equation for a sole proprietorship is:
ASSETS = LIABILITIES +OWNER’S EQUITY
Assets are a company's resources—things the company owns. Examples of
assets include cash, accounts receivable, inventory, prepaid insurance,
investments, land, buildings, equipment, and goodwill. From the accounting
equation, we see that the amount of assets must equal the combined amount of
liabilities plus owner's (or stockholders') equity.
Liabilities are a company's obligations—amounts the company owes. Examples of
liabilities include notes or loans payable, accounts payable, salaries and wages
payable, interest payable, and income taxes payable (if the company is a regular
corporation). Liabilities can be viewed in two ways:
(1)
as claims by creditors against the company's assets, and
(2) a source—along with owner or stockholder equity—of the company's
assets.
Owner's equity or stockholders' equity is the amount left over after liabilities are
deducted from assets:
Assets - Liabilities = Owner's (or Stockholders') Equity.
Fundamentals of Accounting, Business Management 1
Downloaded by Resty Quito (restyquito2290@gmail.com)
P a g e 68 | 201
lOMoARcPSD|11706204
Owner's or stockholders' equity also reports the amounts invested into the
company by the owners plus the cumulative net income of the company that has
not been withdrawn or distributed to the owners.
If a company keeps accurate records, the accounting equation will always be "in
balance," meaning the left side should always equal the right side. The balance is
maintained because every business transaction affects at least two of a
company's accounts. For example, when a company borrows money from a bank,
the company's assets will increase and its liabilities will increase by the same
amount. When a company purchases inventory for cash, one asset will increase
and one asset will decrease. Because there are two or more accounts affected by
every transaction, the accounting system is referred to as double-entry accounting.
A company keeps track of all of its transactions by recording them in accounts in
the company's general ledger. Each account in the general ledger is designated
as to its type: asset, liability, owner's equity, revenue, expense, gain, or loss
account.
We created a visual tutorial to demonstrate how a variety of transactions will affect
the accounting equation and the financial statements.
Balance Sheet and Income Statement
The balance sheet is also known as the statement of financial position and it
reflects the accounting equation. The balance sheet reports a company's assets,
liabilities, and owner's (or stockholders') equity at a specific point in time. Like the
accounting equation, it shows that a company's total amount of assets equals the
total amount of liabilities plus owner's (or stockholders') equity.
The income statement is the financial statement that reports a company's
revenues and expenses and the resulting net income. While the balance sheet is
concerned with one point in time, the income statement covers a time
interval or period of time. The income statement will explain part of the change in
the owner's or stockholders' equity during the time interval between two balance
sheets.
When a company records a business transaction, it is not entered into an
accounting equation, per se. Rather, transactions are recorded into specific
accounts contained in the company's general ledger. Each account is designated
as an asset, liability, owner's equity, revenue, expense, gain, or loss account.
The general ledger accounts are then used to prepare the balance sheets and
income statements throughout the accounting periods.

In the examples that follow, we will use the following accounts:
 Cash
 Accounts Receivable
 Equipment
 Notes Payable
 Accounts Payable
 J. Ott, Capital
 J. Ott, Drawing
 Service Revenues
 Advertising Expense
 Temp Service Expense
Sole Proprietorship Transaction #1.
Let's assume that J. Ott forms a sole proprietorship called Accounting Software
Co. (ASC). On December 1, 2017, J. Ott invests personal funds of P10,000 to start
ASC. The effect of this transaction on ASC's accounting equation is:
Assets
P10,000
=
=
Liabilities
No Effect
+
+
Owner’s Equity
P10,000
As you can see, ASC's assets increase by P10,000 and so does ASC's owner's
equity. As a result, the accounting equation will be in balance.
You can interpret the amounts in the accounting equation to mean that ASC has
assets of P10,000 and the source of those assets was the owner, J. Ott.
Alternatively, you can view the accounting equation to mean that ASC has assets
of P10,000 and there are no claims by creditors (liabilities) against the assets. As
a result, the owner has a claim for the remainder or residual of P10,000.
This transaction is recorded in the asset account Cash and the owner's equity
account J. Ott, Capital. The general journal entry to record the transactions in these
accounts is:

The purpose of an income statement is to report revenues and expenses. Since
ASC has not yet earned any revenues nor incurred any expenses, there are no
transactions to be reported on an income statement.
Sole Proprietorship Transaction #2.

personal use. The effect of this transaction on ASC's accounting equation is:

The totals indicate that ASC has assets of P9,900 and the source of those assets
is the owner of the company. You can also conclude that the company has assets
or resources of P9,900 and the only claim against those resources is the owner's
claim.

Withdrawals of company assets by the owner for the owner's personal use are
known as "draws." Since draws are not expenses, the transaction is not reported

Sole Proprietorship Transaction #3.
On December 3, 2017 Accounting Software Co. spends P5,000 of cash to
purchase computer equipment for use in the business. The effect of this
transaction on the accounting equation is:
Assets =
Liabilities +
Owner’s Equity
No Effect +
No Effect
5,000 =
-5,000 =
The accounting equation reflects that one asset increases and another asset
decreases. Since the amount of the increase is the same as the amount of the
decrease, the accounting equation remains in balance.
This transaction is recorded in the asset accounts Equipment and Cash.
Equipment increases by P5,000, and Cash decreases by P5,000. The general
journal entry to record the transactions in these accounts is:
Date
Account Name

3-Dec, ‘17 Equipment

The purchase of equipment is not an immediate expense. It will become part
of depreciation expense only after it is placed into service. We will assume that as
of December 3 the equipment has not been placed into service, therefore, no
expense will appear on an income statement for the period of December 1 through
December 3.
Sole Proprietorship Transaction #4.
On December 4, 2017 ASC obtains P7,000 by borrowing money from its bank. The
effect of this transaction on the accounting equation is:
Assets =
Liabilities +
Owner’s Equity
7,000 =
7,000 +

As you can see, ASC's assets increase and ASC's liabilities increase by P7,000.

of assets, and the owner of the company provided P9,900. You can also interpret
the accounting equation to say that the company has assets of P16,900 and the
lenders have a claim of P7,000 and the owner has a claim for the remainder.

The proceeds of the bank loan are not considered to be revenue since ASC did
not earn the money by providing services, investing, etc. As a result, there is no
income statement effect from this transaction.

Sole Proprietorship Transaction #5.
On December 5, 2017 Accounting Software Co. pays P600 for ads that were run
in recent days. The effect of this advertising transaction on the accounting equation
is:
Assets =
Liabilities +
Owner’s Equity
6,000 =
No Effect +
600
Since ASC is paying P600, its assets decrease. The second effect is a P600
decrease in owner's equity, because the transaction involves an expense. (An
expense is a cost that is used up or its future economic value cannot be measured.)
Although owner's equity is decreased by an expense, the transaction is not
recorded directly into the owner's capital account at this time. Instead, the amount
is initially recorded in the expense account Advertising Expense and in the asset
account Cash.
The general journal entry to record the transaction is:

another way, the company has assets of P16,300 with the creditors having a claim
of P7,000 and the owner having a residual claim of P9,300.

Since ASC has performed the services, it has earned revenues and it has the right
to receive P900 from the clients. This right (known as an account receivable)
causes assets to increase. The earning of revenues causes owner's equity to
increase.
Although revenues cause owner's equity to increase, the revenue transaction is
not recorded into the owner's capital account at this time. Rather, the amount
earned is recorded in the revenue account Service Revenues. This will allow the
company to report the revenues on its income statement at any time. (After the
year ends, the amount in the revenue account will be transferred to the owner's
capital account.)

Calculating a Missing Amount within Owner's Equity
The income statement for the calendar year 2017 will explain a portion of the
change in the owner's equity between the balance sheets of December 31, 2016
and December 31, 2017. The other items that account for the change in owner's
equity are the owner's investments into the sole proprietorship and the owner's

owner's equity. Here is a statement of changes in owner's equity for the year 2017
assuming that the Accounting Software Co. had only the eight transactions that we
covered earlier.

Example of Calculating a Missing Amount
The format of the statement of changes in owner's equity can be used to determine
one of these components if it is unknown. For example, if the net income for the
year 2017 is unknown, but you know the amount of the draws and the beginning
and ending balances of owner's equity, you can calculate the net income. (This
might be necessary if a company does not have complete records of its revenues
and expenses.) Let's demonstrate this by using the following amounts.
Assets as of December 31, 2016
Liabilities as of December 31, 2016
Assets as of December 31, 2017
Liabilities as of December 31, 2017
Owner investment in business in 2017

100,000
40,000
128,000
34,000
10,000
40,000
Step 1.
The owner's equity at December 31, 2016 can be computed using the accounting
equation:
Assets =
100,000 =
100,000-40,000
60,000
liabilities + Owner’s Equity
40,000 + Owner’s Equity

P a g e 84 | 201
lOMoARcPSD|11706204
Step 2.
The owner's equity at December 31, 2017 can be computed as well:
Assets =
128,000 =
128,000 - 34,000
94,000
liabilities + Owner’s Equity
34,000 + Owner’s Equity
Owner’s Equity
Owner’s Equity at Dec. 31, 2017
Step 3.
Insert into the statement of changes in owner's equity the information that was
given and the amounts calculated in Step 1 and Step 2:
Owner’s equity at December 31, 2016
Ass: Owner’s Investment
Net Income
Subtotal
Deduct: owner’s draws
Owner’s equity at December 31, 2017
60,000
+100,000
?
?
40,000
94,000
Step 4.
The "Subtotal" can be calculated by adding the last two numbers on the statement:
P94,000 + P40,000 = P134,000. After this calculation we have:
Owner’s equity at December 31, 2016
Ass: Owner’s Investment
Net Income
Subtotal
Deduct: owner’s draws
Owner’s equity at December 31, 2017
60,000
+10,000
?
134,000
40,000
94,000
Step 5.
Starting at the top of the statement we know that the owner's equity before the start
of 2017 was P60,000 and in 2017 the owner invested an additional P10,000. As a
result we have P70,000 before considering the amount of Net Income. We also
know that after the amount of Net Income is added, the Subtotal has to be
P134,000 (the Subtotal calculated in Step 4). The Net Income is the difference
between P70,000 and P134,000. Net income must have been P64,000.

P a g e 85 | 201
lOMoARcPSD|11706204
Step 6.
Insert the previously missing amount (in this case it is the P64,000 of net income)
into the statement of changes in owner's equity and recheck the math:
Owner’s equity at December 31, 2016
Ass: Owner’s Investment
Net Income
Subtotal
Deduct: Owner’s draws
Owner’s equity at December 31, 2017
60,000
+10,000
64,000
134,000
- 40,000
94,000
Since the statement is mathematically correct, we are confident that the net income
was P64,000.

Determining profit through operation
• Accrual basis of accounting vs Cash basis of accounting – accrual basis
recognizes revenue when earned and recognizes expenses when incurred
• Under the expense recognition principle, expenses can be recognized either as:
(1) matching;
(2) systematic allocation, or;
(3) direct association.

Types of Major Accounts
TYPES OF MAJOR ACCOUNTS
The three major elements of accounting are: Assets, Liabilities, and Capital.
These terms are used widely in accounting so it is necessary that we take a close
look at each element. But before we go into them, we need to understand what
an "account" is first.
What is an Account?
The term "account" is used often in this tutorial. Thus, we need to understand what
it is before we proceed. In accounting, an account is a descriptive storage unit used
to collect and store information of similar nature.
For example, "Cash".
Cash is an account that stores all transactions that involve cash receipts and cash
payments. All cash receipts are recorded as increases in "Cash" and all payments
are recorded as deductions in the same account.
Another example, "Building". Suppose a company acquires a building and pays in
cash. That transaction would be recorded in the "Building" account for the
acquisition of the building and a reduction in the "Cash" account for the payment
made.
Now, let's take a look at the accounting elements.
Account Type Overview
The five account types are:
Assets, Liabilities, Equity, Revenue (or
Income) and Expenses. To fully understand how to post transactions and read
financial reports, we must understand these account types. We'll define them
briefly and then look at each one in detail:
Assets: tangible and intangible items that the company owns that have value (e.g.
cash, computer systems, patents)
Liabilities: money that the company owes to others (e.g. mortgages, vehicle loans)
Equity: that portion of the total assets that the owners or stockholders of the
company fully own; have paid for outright

Revenue or Income: money the company earns from its sales of products or
services, and interest and dividends earned from marketable securities
Expenses: money the company spends to produce the goods or services that it
sells (e.g. office supplies, utilities, advertising)
The types of major accounts: Assets, Liabilities, Owner’s Equity, Income and
Expense.
• Assets are the resources owned and controlled by the firm.
• Liabilities are obligations of the firm arising from past events which are to be
settled in the future.
• Equity or Owner’s Equity are the owner’s claims in the business. It is the
residual interest in the assets of the enterprise after deducting all its liabilities.
• Income is the increase in economic benefits during the accounting period in the
form of inflows of cash or other assets or decreases of liabilities that result in
increase in equity. Income includes revenue and gains.
• Expenses are decreases in economic benefits during the accounting period in
the form of outflows of assets or incidences of liabilities that result in decreases in
equity.
Assets
Assets refer to resources owned and controlled by the entity as a result of past
transactions and events, from which future economic benefits are expected to flow
to the entity. In simple terms, assets are properties or rights owned by the
business. They may be classified as current or non-current.
Assets can be defined as objects or entities, whether tangible or intangible, that
the company owns that have economic value.
Tangible assets are physical entities that the business owns such as land,
buildings, vehicles, equipment, and inventory.
Intangible assets are things that represent money or value; things such as
Accounts Receivables, patents, contracts, and certificates of deposit (CDs).
Assets are also grouped according to either their life span or liquidity - the speed
at which they can be converted into cash. Current assets are items that are
completely consumed, sold, or converted into cash in 12 months or less.

Fixed assets are tangible assets with a life span of at least one year and usually
longer. Fixed assets might include machinery, buildings, and vehicles. Fixed
assets are typically not very liquid. And because of their higher costs, assets are
not expensed, but depreciated, or "written off" over a number of years according
to one of several depreciation schedules.
The difference between Current vs. Non-Current Assets, and Tangible vs.
Intangible Assets.
• Current Assets are assets that can be realized (collected, sold, used up) one
year after year-end date. Examples include Cash, Accounts Receivable,
Merchandise Inventory, Prepaid Expense, etc.
Current assets – Assets are considered current if they are held for the purpose of
being traded, expected to be realized or consumed within twelve months after the
end of the period or its normal operating cycle (whichever is longer), or if it is cash.
Examples of current asset accounts are:
Cash and Cash Equivalents – bills, coins, funds for current purposes, checks,
cash in bank, etc.
Receivables – Accounts Receivable (receivable from customers), Notes
Receivable (receivables supported by promissory notes), Rent Receivable,
Interest Receivable, Due from Employees (or Advances to Employees), and other
claims
• Allowance for Doubtful Accounts – This is a valuation account which shows
the estimated uncollectible amount of accounts receivable. It is a contraasset account and is presented as a deduction to the related asset – accounts
receivable.
Inventories – assets held for sale in the ordinary course of business
Prepaid expenses – expenses paid in advance, such as, Prepaid Rent, Prepaid
Insurance, Prepaid Advertising, and Office Supplies
• Non-current Assets are assets that cannot be realized (collected, sold, used
up) one year after year-end date. Examples include Property, Plant and Equipment
(equipment, furniture, building, land), long term investments, etc.
Non-current assets – Assets that do not meet the criteria to be classified as
current. Hence, they are long-term in nature – useful for a period longer that 12
months or the company's normal operating cycle. Examples of non-current asset
accounts include:

Long-term investments – investments for long-term purposes such as
investment in stocks, bonds, and properties; and funds set up for long-term
purposes
Land – land area owned for business operations (not for sale)
Building – such as office building, factory, warehouse, or store
Equipment – Machinery, Furniture and Fixtures (shelves, tables, chairs, etc.),
Office Equipment, Computer Equipment, Delivery Equipment, and others
• Accumulated Depreciation – This is a valuation account which represents the
decrease in value of a fixed asset due to continued use, wear & tear, passage of
time, and obsolescence. It is a contra-asset account and is presented as a
deduction to the related fixed asset.
Intangibles – long-term assets with no physical substance, such as goodwill,
patent, copyright, trademark, etc.
• Tangible Assets are physical assets such as cash, supplies, and furniture and
fixtures.
• Intangible Assets are non-physical assets such as patents and trademarks

Other long-term assets
Assets
• Cash is money on hand, or in banks, and other items considered as medium of
exchange in business transactions.
• Accounts Receivable are amounts due from customers arising from credit sales
or credit services.
• Notes Receivable are amounts due from clients supported by promissory notes.
• Inventories are assets held for resale
• Supplies are items purchased by an enterprise which are unused as of the
reporting date.
• Prepaid Expenses are expenses paid in advance. They are assets at the time
of payment and become expenses through the passage of time.
• Accrued Income is revenue earned but not yet collected
• Short term investments are the investments made by the company that are
intended to be sold immediately Non-Current Assets

• Property, Plant and Equipment are long-lived assets which have been acquired
for use in operations.
• Long term Investments are the investments made by the company for long-term
purposes
• Intangible Assets are assets without a physical substance. Examples include
franchise and copyright.
Liabilities
Liabilities are the debts and obligations of the company to another entity.
Liabilities are economic obligations or payables of the business.
Company assets come from 2 major sources – borrowings from lenders or
creditors, and contributions by the owners. The first refers to liabilities; the second
to capital.
Liabilities represent claims by other parties aside from the owners against the
assets of a company.
The differences of Current vs. Non-Current Liabilities.
Current Liabilities. Liabilities that fall due (paid, recognized as revenue) within
one year after year-end date. Examples include Accounts Payable, Utilities
Payable and Unearned Income.
Like assets, liabilities may be classified as either current or non-current.
A. Current liabilities – A liability is considered current if it is due within 12 months
after the end of the balance sheet date. In other words, they are expected to be
paid in the next year.
If the company's normal operating cycle is longer than 12 months, a liability is
considered current if it is due within the operating cycle.
Liabilities
Liabilities are the debts, or financial obligations of a business - the money the
business owes to others. Liabilities are classified as current or long-term.
Current liabilities are debts that are paid in 12 months or less, and consist mainly
of monthly operating debts. Current liabilities are usually paid with current assets;
i.e. the money in the company's checking account. A company's working capital is
the difference between its current assets and current liabilities. Managing short-

term debt and having adequate working capital is vital to a company's long-term
success.
Long-term liabilities are typically mortgages or loans used to purchase or maintain
fixed assets, and are paid off in years instead of months.
Current liabilities include:
Trade and other payables – such as Accounts Payable, Notes Payable, Interest
Payable, Rent Payable, Accrued Expenses, etc.
Current provisions – estimated short-term liabilities that are probable and can be
measured reliably
Short-term borrowings – financing arrangements, credit arrangements or loans
that are short-term in nature
Current-portion of a long-term liability – the portion of a long-term borrowing
that is currently due.
Example: For long-term loans that are to be paid in annual installments,
the portion to be paid next year is considered current liability; the rest, non-current.
Current tax liabilities – taxes for the period and are currently payable
Non-current Assets are liabilities that do not fall due (paid, recognized as
revenue) within one year after year-end date. Examples include Notes Payable,
Loans Payable, Mortgage Payable, etc.
B. Non-current liabilities – Liabilities are considered non-current if they are not
currently payable, i.e. they are not due within the next 12 months after the end of
the accounting period or the company's normal operating cycle, whichever is
shorter.
In other words, non-current liabilities are those that do not meet the criteria to be
considered current. Hah! Make sense? Non-current liabilities include:
•
•
•
•
Long-term notes, bonds, and
mortgage payables;
Deferred tax liabilities; and

The Account Titles used for Liability Accounts.
Current Liabilities
Accounts Payable are amounts due, or payable to, suppliers for goods
purchased on account or for services received on account.
Notes Payable are amounts due to third parties supported by promissory
notes.
Accrued Expenses are expenses that are incurred but not yet paid
(examples: salaries payable, taxes payable)l
Unearned Income is cash collected in advance; the liability is the services
to be performed or goods to be delivered in the future.
Non-Current Liabilities
Loans Payable
Mortgage Payable
Owner’s Equity
Owner’s Equity is the residual interest of the owner from the business. It can be
derived by deducting liabilities from assets.
Capital
Also known as net assets or equity, capital refers to what is left to the owners after
all liabilities are settled. Simply stated, capital is equal to total assets minus total
liabilities. Capital is affected by the following:
Initial and additional contributions of owner/s (investments),
Withdrawals made by owner/s (dividends for corporations),
Income, and
Expenses.
Owner
contributions
and
income increase capital.
Withdrawals
and
expenses decrease it.
The terms used to refer to a company's capital portion varies according to the form
of ownership. In a sole proprietorship business, the capital is called Owner's Equity
or Owner's Capital; in partnerships, it is called Partners' Equity or Partners'
Capital; and in corporations, Stockholders' Equity.

In addition to the three elements mentioned above, there are two items that are
also considered as key elements in accounting. They are income and expense.
Nonetheless, these items are ultimately included as part of capital.
Equity
Equity is of utmost importance to the business owner because it is the owner's
financial share of the company - or that portion of the total assets of the company
that the owner fully owns. Equity may be in assets such as buildings and
equipment, or cash. Equity is also referred to as Net Worth.
For example, if you purchase a $30,000 vehicle with a $25,000 loan and $5,000 in
cash, you have acquired an asset of $30,000, but have only $5,000 of equity. The
Balance Sheet equation is:
Assets = Liabilities + Owner's Equity
We can see how this equation works with our example: $30,000 Asset = $25,000
Liability + $5,000 Owner Equity.
Types of Equity Accounts and Their Various Names
There are three types of Equity accounts that will meet the needs of most small
businesses. These accounts have different names depending on the company
structure, so we list the different account names in the chart below.
Contribution (Money Invested): There are times when company owners must
invest their own money into the company. It may be start-up capital or a later
infusion of cash. When this occurs, a Capital or Investment account is credited.
See the first row in the table below.
Distribution or Draw (Money Withdrawn): If a business is profitable, the owners
often want some of the profit returned to them. To track this activity,
a Draw or Distribution account is debited. This is the only Equity account (noncontra) that receives debits. See the second row in the table below.
Accumulation from Prior Years: To tracks a company's Net Income as it
accumulates over the years, Retained Earnings or Owner's Equity is credited. On
the first day of the fiscal year, most accounting programs automatically credit this
account with the previous year's Net Income. See the third row of the table below.
NOTE: Most single-owner companies enter journal entries to "close out" the
Contribution and Draw accounts to Retained Earnings on the last day of the fiscal
year. Partnerships, however, may choose not to close out these accounts so that
a permanent record of partner activity is maintained.

Define each account and differentiate one from the other.
Capital is the value of cash and other assets invested in the business by the owner
of the business.
Drawing is an account debited for assets withdrawn by the owner for personal use
from the business.
Income
Income refers to an increase in economic benefit during the accounting period in
the form of an increase in asset or a decrease in liability that results in increase in
equity, other than contribution from owners.
Income encompasses revenues and gains.
Revenues refer to the amounts earned from the company’s ordinary course of
business such as professional fees or service revenue for service companies
and sales for merchandising and manufacturing concerns.
Gains come from other activities, such as gain on sale of equipment, gain on sale
of short-term investments, and other gains.
Income is measured every period and is ultimately included in the capital account.
Examples of income accounts are: Service Revenue, Professional Fees, Rent
Income, Commission Income, Interest Income, Royalty Income, and Sales.

Income or Revenue
Income is money the business earns from selling a product or service, or from
interest and dividends on marketable securities. Other names for income are
revenue, gross income, turnover, and the "top line."
Net income is revenue less expenses. Other names for net income are profit, net
profit, and the "bottom line."
Income is "realized" differently depending on the accounting method used. Accrual
basis accounting counts the revenue as soon as an invoice is entered into the
accounting system. Cash basis accounting does not count the revenue until the
invoice is paid.
Income accounts are temporary or nominal accounts because their balance is
reset to zero at the beginner of each new accounting period, usually a fiscal year.
Most accounting programs perform this task automatically.
Income is the Increase in resources resulting from performance of service or
selling of goods.
Rule:
Where Income increases and decreases in the accounting equation.
Income increases equity.
• Give examples of Income Accounts.
Service revenue for service entities, Sales for merchandising and manufacturing
companies
Expense
Expenses are expenditures, often monthly, that allow a company to operate.
Examples of expenses are office supplies, utilities, rent, entertainment, and travel.
Like revenue accounts, expense accounts are temporary accounts that collect data
for one accounting period and are reset to zero at the beginning of the next
accounting period. Most accounting programs perform this task automatically.
A unique type of Expense account, Depreciation Expense, is used when
purchasing Fixed Assets. Costly items, such as vehicles, equipment, and computer
systems, are not expensed, but are depreciated or written off over the life
expectancy of the item. A contra-account, Accumulated Depreciation, is used to

offset the Asset account for the item. Please see your Accountant for help with the
depreciation of Assets.
Expenses are decreases in economic benefit during the accounting period in the
form of a decrease in asset or an increase in liability that result in decrease in
equity, other than distribution to owners.
Expenses include ordinary expenses such as Cost of Sales, Advertising Expense,
Rent Expense, Salaries Expense, Income Tax, Repairs Expense, etc.;
and losses such as Loss from Fire, Typhoon Loss, and Loss from Theft. Like
income, expenses are also measured every period and then closed as part of
capital.
Net income refers to all income minus all expenses.
Expense is the decrease in resources resulting from the operations of business
Rule:
Where Expense increases and decreases in the accounting equation. Expenses

Setting up a Chart of Accounts:
a. A chart of accounts is a listing of the accounts used by companies in their
financial records.
b. The chart of accounts helps to identify where the money is coming from and
where it is going.
c. The chart of accounts is the foundation of the financial statements.
Steps in the preparation of a basic chart of accounts:
1. Create two columns.
2. Prepare the assets first, then liabilities, then equity, then revenue and
expenses.
3. List all assets, liabilities, equity, revenue and expenses account in the first
column.
4. On the second column, choose an account code (discretion of the
company).
5. On the third column, write the description for each account on when to use
it.

Book of Accounts
Book of Accounts
The two major types of books of accounts are journal and ledger.
1 The journal
Companies initially record transactions and events in chronological order (the
order in which they occur). Thus, the journal is referred to as the book of original
entry. For each transaction the journal shows the debit and credit effects on
specific accounts.
There are two types of journals, the general journal and the special journal.
GENERAL JOURNAL
The general journal is the most basic journal. Typically, a general journal has
spaces for dates, account titles and explanations, references, and two amount
columns.
The journal makes several significant contributions to the recording process:
• It discloses in one place the complete effects of a transaction.
• It provides a chronological record of transactions.
• It helps to prevent or locate errors because the debit and credit amounts for each
entry can be easily compared.
Shown below is an example of a general journal

General Journal
Account Title and Explanation
Ref Debit
Credit
Journalizing process
Entering transaction data in the journal is known as journalizing. Companies make
separate journal entries for each transaction. A complete entry consists of:
•
The date of the transaction which is entered in the Date column.
•
The debit account title (that is, the account to be debited) which is entered
first at the extreme left margin of the column headed “Account Titles and
Explanation,” and the amount of the debit is recorded in the Debit column.
•
The credit account title (that is, the account to be credited) which is indented
and entered on the next line in the column headed “Account Titles and
Explanation,” and the amount of the credit is recorded in the Credit column.

A brief explanation of the transaction which appears on the line below the
credit account title. A space is left between journal entries. The blank space
separates individual journal entries and makes the entire journal easier to
read.
•
The column titled Ref. (which stands for Reference) which is left blank when
the journal entry is made. This column is used later when the journal entries
are transferred to the ledger accounts.
To illustrate the recording of transactions in the general journal, let us use the
following transactions as an example:
•
September 1, 2015 Mr. Ben Mabait invested PHP500,000 in a restaurant
business by opening an account with SuperBank.
•
September 5, 2015 purchased kitchen appliances for his business
amounting to PHP100,000 by issuing a check.
•
September 6, 2015 started his operations a made a sale for that day
amounting to PHP20,000.

Some entries involve only two accounts, one debit and one credit. An entry like
these is considered a simple entry. Some transactions, however, require more than
two accounts in journalizing. An entry that requires three or more accounts is a
compound entry. All of the transactions in the above examples are simple entries.
An example of a compound entry is the following:
On September 7, 2015, Mr. Mabait purchased a motorcycle costing PHP80,000.
He pays PHP30,000 cash and agrees to pay the remaining PHP50,000 on account
(to be paid later). The compound entry is as follows:

SPECIAL JOURNALS
Some businesses encounter voluminous quantities of similar and recurring
transactions which may create congestion if these transactions are recorded
repeatedly in a single day or a month in the general journal. Take the case of our
example above, if Mr. Mabait will record the sales per day using the Official Receipt
or Cash Sales Invoice issued, it would be unnecessary and impractical to credit
“sales” account repeatedly. In order to facilitate efficient and practical recording of
similar and recurring transactions, a special journal is used.
The following are the commonly used special journals:
•
Cash Receipts Journal – used to record all cash that has been received
•
Cash Disbursements Journal – used to record all transactions involving
cash payments
•
Sales Journal (Sales on Account Journal) – used to record all sales on credit
(on account)
•
Purchase Journal (Purchase on Account Journal) – used to record all
purchases of inventory on credit (or on account)
Cash Receipts Journal is used to record transaction involving receipt or collection
of cash. The following illustrate the format of a cash receipts journal:
Cash Receipts Journal
Ref Debit Credit
Date Description (Particulars)
Cash Sales

•
The date of the transaction is entered in the date column.
•
A brief explanation of the transaction is entered in the description column.
•
The column titled Ref. (which stands for Reference) which is left blank when
the journal entry is made. This column is used later when the journal entries
are transferred to the ledger accounts.
•
The Debit Cash column represents the amount of cash received for a
particular transaction.

•
Major categories of receipts, such as cash sales and collection of accounts
receivable are provided with separate columns. These transactions are
frequent and repetitive items; therefore, a separate column is provided.
•
The column sundry is used for various miscellaneous and less regular
items, such as capital investment, receipt of loan proceeds, among others.
•
The source document for this journal is the Official Receipts or Cash
Receipts issued by the business.
Cash Disbursements Journal (CDJ)
The cash disbursements journal is the opposite of the cash receipts journal. It is
the journal where all cash payments are recorded. An example of a cash
disbursement journal is shown below:

•
The Check or Voucher number represents the identifying number of the
check issued for the related cash payment. Most of the time, a check or
cash voucher accompanies the disbursement. The voucher number may be
used as the alternative for this column.
•
The Debit Cash column represents the amount of cash received for a
particular transaction.
•
Major categories of receipts, such cash sales and collection of accounts
receivable are provided with separate columns. These transactions are

2. The ledger
The ledger refers to the accounting book in which the accounts and their related
amounts as recorded in the journal are posted periodically.
The ledger is also called the ‘book of final entry’ because all the balances in the
ledger are used in the preparation of financial statements. This is also referred to
as the T-Account because the basic form of a ledger is like the letter ‘T’.
There are two kinds of ledgers, namely; the general ledger and the subsidiary
ledgers.
GENERAL LEDGER
The general ledger (commonly referred by accounting professionals as GL) is a
grouping of all accounts used in the preparation of financial statements. The GL is
a controlling account because it summarizes all the activities that have taken place
as recorded in its subsidiary ledger.
The format of a general ledger is shown below:

The account number is an assigned number for each account title to
facilitate ease in recording and cross-referencing.

The Date column identifies when the transaction happened.
•
The item represents the source journal and the nature of the transactions
•
The Reference identifies the page number of the general our special journal
from which the information was taken.
•
The Debit and Credit columns are used in recording the amount of
transactions from the general journal or special journal.
The Balance Column represents the running balance of the Account after
considering the debit and credit amounts. If the running balance amount is

running balance, the accounts has a credit balance.
SUBSIDIARY LEDGER
A subsidiary ledger is a group of like accounts that contains the independent data
of a specific general ledger. A subsidiary ledger is created or maintained if
individualized data is needed for a specific general ledger account. An example of
a subsidiary ledger is the individual record of various payables to suppliers. The
total amount of these subsidiary ledgers should equal the balance in the Accounts
Payable general ledger.
An example of a subsidiary ledgers are shown below:

1. Differentiate General Ledger from a Subsidiary Ledger
Suggested Answer: A subsidiary ledger contains the details supporting the
balance in the general ledger account. For example, a subsidiary ledger is
maintained for all receivables from customers; the sum of balances per
customer should equal the balance of Accounts Receivable Account in the
general ledger account.
2. Differentiate General Journal from a General Ledger
Suggested Answer: Accounting transactions are first recorded in the general
journal and in order of their occurrence. A general ledger contains a summary
at the account level of every transaction that a business has engaged in. The
general journal records all the transactions whereas the general ledger the effect
of these journal entries to every account title. The general journal is called the
book of original entry while the general ledger is called the book of final entry.
3. Types of transactions recorded in the cash receipts journal:
• cash received from a charge (on account) customer
• cash received from a charge (on account) customer less a cash discount
• cash sales
• cash received from sale of other assets.
• all other transactions that require the issuance of a Cash receipt or Official
Receipt document
4. A sales journal is used when two conditions are met:
• merchandise is sold
• the sale is on account
5. A cash disbursements journal (cash payments journal) is used to record
the following transactions:
• purchase of merchandise for cash
• payment to creditor, vendors or suppliers
• all cash payments

The nature of a service business
A service business provides a needed service for a fee. In general, service
businesses actually have no physical product sold to clients. Their services are
designed to facilitate the work of clients and in return are paid. Service businesses
include salons or barbershops, laundry services, car repairs, medical centers and
services of professionals like lawyers and doctors. The revenue of a service
business is usually realized once the service has been substantially completed.
Aside from the minor supplies, the service business does not maintain a high level
of inventory as compared to merchandising and manufacturing businesses. In
relatively small service businesses, all transactions are on cash payments.
This means sales are collected immediately while most expenses are paid outright
in the form of cash or checks. The typical financial transactions recorded for a
service company include collecting a deposit from the customer, providing the
service and receiving payment.

What events or transactions usually occur in a repair shop. Discuss the
accounting cycle of a service business
THE ACCOUNTING CYCLE
The accounting cycle is a continuous process of accumulating, summarizing and
reporting financial information. The steps include:
Step 1 - Transactions and/or Events
Identification and measurement of external transactions and internal events. At this
stage, the documents used by the business are analyzed whether it has financial
impact or effect. Recall the rule that only financial transactions are recorded and
that the amount can be measured. These two conditions must exist in order that a
particular transaction is recognized or recorded. As defined, financial transactions
are those activities that change the value of an asset, liability or an equity.
Examples of financial transactions:
• Receipt of cash from a client as advance payment to repair a computer. In this
case (asset) will increase. At the same time, the advances from client (liability) will
also increase. The advances from client is a liability because the business has the
obligation to render future service to the client.
• Payment of electric bill is a financial transaction. This will decrease the cash
(asset) and reduce the income of the business at the same time.
Examples of non-financial transactions:
• hiring and termination of employees
• recognition from the government as most outstanding business
• death of owner

lOMoARcPSD|11706204
The information needed when recording transactions are taken from forms used
to document these transactions. In a typical service business, the following are the
business documents used:
1. Official Receipt or Cash Receipt. This document is used when a business
receives money or a check. An Official Receipt or Cash Receipt is a document that
acknowledges that money or a check have been received.
SAMPLE OFFICIAL RECEIPT
2. Charge Invoice or Sales Invoice. A charge invoice is a document used when
a service has been rendered, but the client will be billed only after a certain number
of days from the date of service. Often, a company will issue a statement of
account to a customer, with the charge or sales invoice attached. For example: in
a laundry business, a customer may avail of the services of the business. However,
that customer and the owner of the business had a prior agreement that all services
availed by the customer will be paid only after 30 days. In this case, a charge
invoice is issued on the day the client availed of the services.

Sample Sales Invoice
3. Check or Cash Voucher. The check voucher is a document used when a
check is issued to pay a certain supplier or vendor. For example, in a laundry
business, for the payment of monthly electricity bills, the business may pay either
in cash or check. But the company must prepare a cash or check voucher to
support this payment. This document will serve as a record of payment and, at the
same time, as proof that payment has been made by the company.
SAMPLE CHECK VOUCHER
Step 2 - Preparation of Journal Entries (journalization)
Through the use of specialized journals (such as those for sales, purchases, cash
receipts, and cash disbursements) and the general journal, transactions and
events are entered into the accounting records. These are called the books of
original entry.
Debits and Credits are an integral part of the journalization process. In accounting,
debits or credits are abbreviated as DR and CR respectively.

When to Debit and when to Credit: An increase in an asset account is called a
debit and an increase in a liability or equity account is called a credit. Likewise, if
we decrease an asset account we credit that account. On the other side of the
equation, if we decrease a liability or equity account we debit those accounts.
Rules on Debits and Credits
• The name of the account to be debited is always listed first. The debited account
is listed on the first line with the amount in the left side of the register.
• The credited account is listed on the second line and is usually indented. The
credited amount is
recorded on the right side of the register.
• The total amount of debit should always equal the total amount of credit.
EXAMPLE:
Let us take the case of Pedro Matapang, a computer technician. Pedro decided to
open his computer repair shop on February 14, 2016, naming it Matapang
Computer Repairs. Pedro knows that business transactions should be separated
from personal finances. Thus, he decided to invest PHP200,000 in this business.

same entries are made, except for transactions affecting capital or equity accounts.
To illustrate, let us take the following case:
Sweeper Corporation was established to provide janitorial services to clients for a
fee. The corporation issued 5,000 shares of common stock, at PHP100 par value
to shareholders. The issue price paid by the shareholders on January 3, 2016

The summary (in specialized journals) or individual transactions (in the general
journal) are then posted from the journals to the general ledger (and subsidiary
ledgers). Nothing should ever get posted to the ledgers without first being entered
in a journal.

Step 4 - Unadjusted Trial Balance
At the end of an accounting period (for example, one month or one year) the
working trial balance is prepared. This involves copying each account name and
account balance to a worksheet (working trial balance). The resulting first two
columns of the worksheet are called the unadjusted trial balance.
In the preparation of the unadjusted trial balance, the balances in all the general
ledgers at the end of the reporting date are forwarded to the appropriate column.
The unadjusted trial balance for the transactions in our example from Step 3 is the
following:

Review of the Accounting Equation
The basic accounting equation is what drives double-entry bookkeeping. The
equation reflects the accounts reported in the balance sheet. The basic accounting
equation is as follows:
ASSETS = LIABILITIES + OWNERS' EQUITY
This is a very simple algebraic equation that reflects how the assets of an entity
must be supported by either debt or equity. As in algebra, if we add or subtract
something from one side of the equation we must add or subtract the same amount
from the other side. For example, if we were to increase cash (an asset) we might
have to increase note payable (a liability account) so that the basic accounting
equation remains in balance.
ASSETS = LIABILITIES + OWNERS' EQUITY
PHP 500 = PHP 500 .
Applying, the formula to our transactions in Step 3 above, the effects of these
transactions to the equation are shown below:

Compound Journal Entry
What has been discussed in the above illustration required the learners to prepare
a simple journal entry. A simple journal entry has one account title on the debit
side and one account title on the credit side. However, there are instances where
in one particular transaction, two or more accounts on either the debit or credit side
are affected. In this case, the business may prepare a compound journal entry. A
compound journal entry combines one or more accounts on the debit side or the
credit side.
Required Task
Using the following format, identify the effects of above transactions to the
accounting equation:
ASSETS = LIABILITIES + OWNERS' EQUITY
Example:
ASSETS = LIABILITIES + OWNERS' EQUITY
+200 = + 200 .
To illustrate, assume that Jose Magalang decided to open a barbershop business
in Makati City. He invested his old computer and PHP25,000 for this venture with
a fair value of PHP15,000 to start the business. Notice that two account titles,
Office Equipment and Cash, were debited in this entry.
On September 7, 2016, Jose purchased various store equipment to be used in the
business. The total cost of the equipment is PHP150,000. The supplier required
Jose to pay 30% as down payment, with the balance payable 30 days after.

Step 6 – Adjusting Entries
At the end of the accounting period, some accounts in the general ledger would
require updating. The journal entries that bring the accounts up to date are called
adjusting entries. One purpose of adjusting entries is for income and expenses to
be reported in the correct period.
Adjusting entries ensure that both the revenue recognition and matching principles
are followed.
Prior to your lecture, recall the previous discussion on accounting principles and
concepts, specifically the matching principle.
Revenue Recognition – accounting standards require that revenue is recognized
when it is earned and the amount can be measured reliably. To illustrate:
• Assume that you are preparing the financial statements for Feb 2016. Matapang
Computer Repairs rendered services amounting to PHP25,000 for the repair of the
computer units of Mr. Tamad on Feb 26, 2016. However, the payment for these
services of Matapang will be made on Mar 15, 2016.
Fundamentals of Accounting, Business Management 1
Downloaded by Resty Quito (restyquito2290@gmail.com)
P a g e 141 | 201
lOMoARcPSD|11706204
Question: when should you recognize the PHP25,000 as revenue or income, in
February or March? Applying the revenue recognition principle, it should be
reported as revenue for February 2016.
• Assume that you are preparing the financial statements for February 2016. On
February 28, 2016, Matapang Repairs received payment from Mr. Tamad
amounting to PHP25,000. This payment is for the repair of the
computer units of Mr. Tamad on March 5, 2016.
Question: when should you recognize the PHP25,000 as revenue or income, in
February or March? Applying the revenue recognition principle, it should be
reported as revenue in March 2016. Take note that since the service will be
rendered in March, the revenue should also be earned in March. What about
February 2016? The amount is recorded as a liability because Matapang Repairs
has the obligation to render this service in the future.
Matching Principle - this principle directs a business to report an expense on its
income statement within the same period as its related income. To illustrate:
• Assume that you are preparing the financial statements for February 2016. The
business gives a commission of 10% service income to its employees. The
commission is paid the following month. On February 2016, the total service
income for the month is PHP100,000. Thus, the employees are entitled to a
commission of PHP10,000.
This amount will be paid on March 12, 2016. Question: when should the
commission expense be recorded in the book of accounts of the business, in
March or in February? Applying the matching principle, the answer is in February.
Adjusting entries are made at the end of each accounting period. Adjusting entries
make it possible to report correct amounts on the statement of financial position
and on the income statement. All adjusting entries affect at least one income
statement account and one statement of financial position account. Thus, an
adjusting entry will always involve an income or an expense account and an asset
or a liability account.

P a g e 142 | 201
lOMoARcPSD|11706204
There are five basic sources of adjusting entries:
1. Depreciation expense
2. Deferred expenses or prepaid expenses
3. Deferred Income or unearned income
4. Accrued expenses or accrued liabilities
5. Accrued income or accrued assets
#1 Depreciation. Depreciation is a method of allocating the cost of an asset to an
expense over the accounting periods that make up the asset’s useful life.
Examples of assets subject to depreciation are:
Store, Office, Building, and Transportation equipment. These types of assets lose
their ability to provide useful service as time passes. Depreciation can also be
referred to as the decrease in the usefulness of these types of assets. Take note
that Land is not subject to depreciation because the value of land mostly increases
as time passes.
Exercise on Adjusting entries to record Depreciation
Recall that Matapang acquired office equipment on February 15, 2016 for his
repair shop business. The cost of the equipment is PHP25,000. It was estimated
to have a useful life of five years. It is estimated that after five years, the office
equipment can be sold at a scrap value of PHP1,000. The company uses the
straight line method of depreciation.
Depreciation is a means of allocating the cost of an asset to an expense over the
accounting period that will benefit the use of the asset. In the exercise above, the
equipment will be used by Matapang for five years. Proper accounting procedures
dictates that the cost of PHP25,000 should be spread over five years.
There are several methods or formulas to compute the amount of depreciation.
The simplest is the straight line method.
The formula is Annual Depreciation : ( Acquisition Cost – Salvage or Residual
Value) / Useful Life. Applying this formula to the exercise:
Annual Depreciation = (25,000-1,000) / 5
= PHP4,800

If the accounting period being reported by Matapang is for the month ending
February 29, 2016, the adjusting entry to record this depreciation in the books of
Matapang is:

The depreciation expense of PHP200 was derived by computing the monthly
depreciation of PHP400
(Annual Depreciation of PHP4,800/12 months) and multiplying the PHP400 by
one-half since the
equipment was acquired in the middle of February.
#2 Deferred Expenses or Prepaid Expenses. These are items that have been
initially recorded as assets but are expected to become expenses over time or
through the operations of the business.
Exercise - Adjusting entries to record deferred expenses or prepaid expenses
Recall that on February 19, 2016 Matapang purchased PHP5,000 worth of office
supplies on account.
By the end of the month, PHP2,000 worth of these supplies are still unused.
The February 19, 2016 entry to record the purchase on the account of office
supplies was already posted to the general ledger and included in the balances,
as shown in the unadjusted trial balance above. The entry was shown only for
illustration purposes.

The “Supplies” account debited on February 29, 2016 above is an asset account
and represents the value of supplies unused as of the end of February 2016. If
these journal entries are posted to the general ledger, the following should be the
balance of each account:

Notice that even with the different approaches in recording the transactions in the
journal entries, the balances in the general ledger will always be the same
whether you used the first approach or the second approach.
#3 Deferred Income or Unearned Income. These are items that have been initially
recorded as liabilities but are expected to become income over time or through the
operations of the business.
Exercise – Adjusting entries to record deferred or unearned income
On February 15, 2016 Matapang entered into a contract with Makisig to maintain
the computers of Makisig for two months starting on February 15, 2016 up to April
15, 2016. On the same date, Makisig paid the total contract amount of PHP40,000
in full. The entries to record and adjust the books are:
In the February 29, 2016 entry above, as of end of February 2016, Matapang has
already earned the service revenue for the first 15 days, thus an adjusting entry is
recorded.

#4 Accrued Expenses or Accrued Liabilities. These are items of expenses
that have been incurred but have not been recorded and paid.
Exercise – Adjusting entries to record Accrued expenses or accrued liabilities On
February 29, 2016, Matapang received the electric bill for the month of February
amounting to PHP3,800. Matapang will pay this bill on March 2016.
The electric bill represents the cost of electricity used (or incurred) for February.
Although the said bill is still unpaid and thus was not recorded, the matching
principle and accrual basis of accounting dictates that the same should be
recorded in February. Otherwise, your expense will be understated and thus the
company will be reporting an overstated income (or an erroneous income).
Needless to say, erroneous information may lead to wrong decisions.

#5 Accrued Income or Accrued Assets
These are income items that have been earned but have not been recorded and
paid by the customer. In short, these are receivables of the business.
Exercise – Adjusting entries to record accrued income or accrued assets On
February 28, 2016, Matapang repaired the computer of Pedro for PHP15,000.
Pedro was on an outof- town trip so he could not pay Matapang . He told Matapang
that he will pay for their services on March 1, 2016.
Matapang has already earned the PHP15,000 but was not paid as of the end of
February 2016.
Therefore, an income should be properly recognized in February 2016 for this
transaction. The entry to record this is:

Step 7 - Preparation of the Financial Statements.
Using the information from the worksheet, the financial statements are
prepared.
The following are the financial statements to be prepared:
1. Statement of Financial Position (SFP) - Also known as the balance sheet.
This statement includes the amounts of the company’s total assets, liabilities and
owner’s equity which in totality provides the financial position of the company on a
specific date.
2. Statement of Comprehensive Income (SCI) – Also known as the income
statement. Contains the results of the company’s operations for a specific period
of time. This can be prepared on a monthly, quarterly or yearly basis.
Fundamentals of Accounting, Business Management 1
Downloaded by Resty Quito (restyquito2290@gmail.com)
P a g e 147 | 201
lOMoARcPSD|11706204
3. Statement of Changes in Equity (SCE) - This statement is prepared prior to
preparation of the Statement of Financial Position in order to obtain the ending
balance of the equity to be used in the SFP. All changes, whether increases or
decreases to the owner’s interest on the company during the period, are reported
here.
4. Cash Flow Statement - Provides an analysis of inflows and/or outflows of
cash from/to operating, investing and financing activities.
The income statement is prepared first so that net income can then be recorded in
the statement of changes in equity. The statement of changes in equity is then
prepared to determine the ending balance of equity or capital account. Once the
ending balance is determined, the statement of financial position is prepared. The
cash flow statement is prepared last. Based on the worksheet on the right, the
income statement of Matapang for February 2016 should appear as follows:

Step 8 - Journalize the Closing Journal Entries
The income, expense, withdrawal (equity) accounts are called temporary accounts
or nominal accounts. They are called temporary because they accumulate the
transactions of only one accounting period. At the end of this accounting period,
the changes in owner’s equity accumulated in these temporary accounts are
transferred into the owner’s capital account. This process serves two purposes: (1)
to update the balance of the owner’s capital; and (2) it returns the balance of the
temporary accounts to zero, so that they are ready to measure the income,
expenses and drawings of the next accounting period again. The owner’s capital
account and other statement of financial position accounts are referred to as
permanent or real accounts because their balances continue to exist beyond the
current accounting period. Closing the books is the process of transferring the
balances of the temporary accounts to the owner’s permanent capital account.
The closing journal entries should consist of the following:
• All of the nominal revenue accounts should be closed to the income summary
account by a Debit to revenue and a Credit to income summary.
• All of the nominal expense accounts should be closed to the income summary by
a Credit to expense and a Debit to income summary.
• The balance in the income summary account should now reflect the net income
for the accounting period. The next journal entry should close the income summary
account to the equity or capital account. If there is a net profit this entry will be a
Debit to income summary and a Credit to owner’s capital account.
• Once the closing journal entries have been entered into the general journal, the
information should be posted to the general ledger. When this is accomplished, all
of the nominal accounts in the general ledger should have zero balances. To
double check on this, we should prepare another trial balance based on the new

balances in the general ledger. If we have any nominal accounts with positive
balances, a mistake was made along the way and will need to be corrected before
proceeding to the next accounting period.

Exercise 2 (Depreciation)
Compute the depreciation expense for the following independent cases. Use the
straight line method of depreciation.
1. Pedro Reyes purchased a delivery vehicle on January 1, 2016 amounting to
PHP250,000. It is estimated that the vehicle will be useful for 10 years. The vehicle
can be sold for PHP10,000 at the end of its useful life. If the accounting period
being reported by Pedro is one (1) year from January – December 2016, how much
is the depreciation expense?
Solution:
Annual Depreciation = (Acquisition Cost – Salvage or Residual Value) / Useful Life
Annual Depreciation = (250,000 -10,000) / 10
Answer = PHP24,000
2. Pedro Reyes purchased a delivery vehicle on April 1, 2016 amounting to
PHP250,000. It is estimated that the vehicle will be useful for 10 years. The vehicle
can be sold for PHP10,000 at the end of its useful life. If the accounting period
being reported by Pedro is one (1) year from January-December 2016, how much
is the depreciation expense?
Solution:
Annual Depreciation = (Acquisition Cost – Salvage or Residual Value) / Useful Life
Annual Depreciation = (250,000 -10,000) / 10

Multiply the Annual Depreciation of PHP24,000 to the number of months in
used/12, thus 24,000 x (9/12)
Where the ‘9’ represents the number of month from April to December.
Answer = PHP18,000
3. Pedro Reyes purchased a delivery vehicle on January 1, 2016 amounting to
PHP250,000. It is estimated that the vehicle will be useful for 10 years. The vehicle
can be sold for PHP10,000 at the end of its useful life. If the accounting period
being reported by Pedro is one (1) month (January 2016), how much is the
depreciation expense for the month?
Solution:
Annual Depreciation = (Acquisition Cost – Salvage or Residual Value) / Useful Life
Annual Depreciation = (250,000 -10,000) / 10 = P24,000
Answer = PHP24,000 / 12 = PHP2,000 for January 2016

Nature and examples of merchandising
company.
A merchandising company is an enterprise that buys and sells goods to earn a
profit.
Examples of merchandising businesses:
• Mercury Drug
• Puregold
• ACE Hardware
• grocery stores
Merchandise (or merchandise inventory) refers to goods that are held for sale to
customers in the normal course of business. This includes goods held for resale.
For example:
• Candies, canned goods, noodles sold at a grocery store
• Juice, biscuits sold in a grocery store
• Medicines sold in a pharmacy
If a grocery store decided to sell an old computer used in the office, this would not
be merchandise because grocery stores do not normally sell computers and the
store is simply selling off old office equipment. But a computer would be
merchandise for a computer store who resells computer units.
Merchandise for one firm may be a fixed asset (or property and equipment) for
another.
In another example, a pharmacy decided to sell a table used in their display area.
This table is not merchandise of a pharmacy. However, to a retail furniture store a
table is merchandise because the business of a furniture store involves the buying
and selling of tables.
A merchandiser’s primary source of revenue is sales revenue or sales.
Expenses for a merchandising company are divided into two categories:
1. Cost of goods sold (COGS) – the total cost of merchandise sold during the
period; and
2. Operating expenses (OP) - expenses incurred in the process of earning sales
revenue that are deducted from gross profit in the income statement. Examples
are sales salaries and insurance expenses.
Fundamentals of Accounting, Business Management 1
Downloaded by Resty Quito (restyquito2290@gmail.com)
P a g e 160 | 201
lOMoARcPSD|11706204
Gross profit (GP) is equal to Sales Revenue less the Cost of Goods Sold.
Income measurement process for a merchandiser follows as:
Sales
- COGS
=
Gross Profit -
Operating Exp
=
Net Income (Loss)
The Operating Cycles for a merchandiser:
Merchandising Company operating cycle (cash to cash) involves:
1. buy merchandise inventory
2. sell inventory
3. obtain Accounts Receivable
4. receive cash
JOURNALIZING THE TRANSACTIONS IN A MERCHANDISING BUSINESS
Prior to the discussion on the journal entries, recall the first step in the accounting
cycle discussed in previous chapters on financial and non-financial transactions.
In step 1, transactions are identified and measured. At this stage, the documents
used by the business are analyzed to see whether these transactions have
financial impact or effect. Recall the rule that only financial transactions are
recorded and that the amount can be measured. These two conditions must exist
in order for a particular transaction to be recognized or recorded. As defined,
financial transactions are those activities that change the value of an asset, liability
or equity.
Step 2 is the Preparation of Journal Entries (Journalization)
A merchandising company may use special and general journals to record its
transactions.
SPECIAL JOURNALS
Some businesses encounter voluminous quantities of similar and recurring
transactions, which may create congestion if these transactions are recorded
repeatedly in a single day or monthly in the general journal. The use of special
journals will eliminate this problem.
The following are the commonly used special journals:
1. Cash Receipts Journal –used to record all cash that had been received
2. Cash Disbursements Journal –used to record all transactions involving cash
payments
3. Sales Journal (Sales on Account Journal) –used to record all sales on credit (on
account)

P a g e 161 | 201
lOMoARcPSD|11706204
4. Purchase Journal (Purchase on Account Journal) –used to record all purchases
of inventory on credit (or on account)
INVENTORY SYSTEMS
Maintaining inventory items is a unique set-up in a merchandising business. There
are two methods of accounting for inventory, namely:
Perpetual Inventory System and Periodic Inventory System.
Merchandising entities may use either of the following inventory systems:
1. Perpetual System — Detailed records of the cost of each item are maintained,
and the cost of each item sold is determined from records when the sale occurs.
For example, a car dealership has separate inventory records for each vehicle.
• Record purchase of Inventory.
• Record revenue and record cost of goods sold when the item is sold.
• At the end of the period, no entry is needed except to adjust inventory for losses,
etc.
3. Periodic System — Cost of goods sold is determined only at the end of an
accounting period. This system involves:
4.
• Record purchase of Inventory.
• Record revenue only when the item is sold.
• At the end of the period, you must compute cost of goods sold (COGS):
1. Determine the cost of goods on hand at the beginning of the accounting period
(Beginning Inventory = BI),
2. Add it to the cost of goods purchased (COGP),
3. Subtract the cost of goods on hand at the end of the accounting period
4. (Ending Inventory = EI) illustrated as follows:
Sales
- COGS
=
Gross Profit -
Operating Exp
=
Net Income (Loss)
Additional Considerations:
• Perpetual systems have traditionally been used by companies that sell
merchandise with high unit values such as automobiles, furniture, and major home
appliances. With the use of computers and scanners, many companies now use
the perpetual inventory system.
• The perpetual inventory system is named because the accounting records
continuously — perpetually —show the quantity and cost of the inventory that
Fundamentals of Accounting, Business Management 1
Downloaded by Resty Quito (restyquito2290@gmail.com)
P a g e 162 | 201
lOMoARcPSD|11706204
should be on hand at any time. The periodic system only periodically updates the
cost of inventory on hand.
• A perpetual inventory system provides better control over inventories than a
periodic inventory, since the records always show the quantity that should be on
hand. Then, any shortages from the actual quantity and what the records show
can be investigated immediately.
Note: The periodic inventory system will be used in all illustrations of this chapter
while the perpetual system will be included in the “enrichment” portion of this guide.
PERIODIC INVENTORY SYSTEM
Recording purchases and related transactions under the Periodic Inventory
System
PURCHASES OF MERCHANDISE: PERIODIC SYSTEM
1. When merchandise is purchased for resale to customers, the account,
Purchases, is debited for the cost of goods purchased.
2. Like sales, purchases may be made for cash or on account (credit).
3. The purchase is normally recorded by the purchaser when the goods are
received from the seller.
•
•
•
Each credit purchase should be supported by a purchase invoice.
A purchase invoice received by the buyer is actually a sales invoice or
a charge invoice prepared by the supplier or vendor.
Note that only purchases of merchandise are debited to the ‘Purchase’
account.
Acquisition (purchases) of other assets: supplies, equipment, and similar items are
debited to their respective accounts.
TO ILLUSTRATE:
Magaling Computer Store started its operations on January 2, 2016. The store is
located in Sikat Mall in Bicol. The owner invested PHP500,000 to start the
business. On January 3, 2016, Magaling purchased 20 units of computers on
account for PHP10,000 each. Upon delivery of the units, the supplier, Delta, Inc.,
issued Charge Invoice No. 145 to Magaling.

PURCHASE RETURNS AND ALLOWANCES
• A purchaser may find the merchandise received to be unsatisfactory because the
goods are:
• damaged or defective
• of inferior quality
• not in accord with the purchaser’s specifications
• The purchaser initiates the request for a reduction of the balance due through the
issuance of a debit memorandum. The debit memorandum is a document issued
by a buyer to inform a seller that the seller’s account has been debited because of
unsatisfactory goods.
• A return of the merchandise (a deduction from the purchase price when
unsatisfactory goods are kept) is shown by the entry where Accounts Payable is
debited and Purchase Returns and Allowances is credited to show that the
purchases was reduced with a return or an allowance.
• The Purchase Returns and Allowances account is a “contra purchases” account
when merchandise is returned to a supplier.
TO ILLUSTRATE:
Out of the 20 computer units purchased last January 3, 2016, it was found after
inspection on the same day that one unit was damaged during shipment. Magaling
issued a debit memorandum (DM 01) and informed the supplier that it will return
the one damaged item.

ACCOUNTING FOR FREIGHT COSTS
The sales agreement should indicate whether the seller or the buyer is to pay the
cost of transporting the goods to the buyer’s place of business. The two most
common arrangements for freight costs are FOB SHIPPING POINT AND FOB
DESTINATION.
FOB Shipping Point:
•
•
•
•
•
Goods placed free on board (FOB) the carrier by seller.
Buyer pays freight costs.
Freight-In is debited if buyer pays freight.
Cash is credited if the goods come on cash on delivery (COD), for
example, and was paid immediately. Accounts Payable would be
credited if on account.
Ownership over the goods is transferred to the buyer once it is out of the
premises of the seller.
FOB Destination
• Goods placed free on board (FOB) at buyer’s business.
• Seller pays freight costs.
• Delivery Expense is debited if seller pays freight on outgoing merchandise
to a buyer. This is an operating expense to the seller.
• Ownership over the goods is transferred to the buyer once the goods are
delivered and received by the buyer.
TO ILLUSTRATE:
Assume the supplier of Magaling is based in Manila. In order to bring the 20
computer units to Bicol, it will cost PHP3,000 to deliver the goods. If the terms is
FOB Shipping Point, the entry to record, assuming Magaling paid the common

PURCHASE DISCOUNTS:
•
•
•
Credit terms (specify the amount of cash discount and time period during
which a discount is offered) may permit the buyer to claim a cash discount for
the prompt payment of a balance due. If the credit terms show 2/10, n/30
means a 2% discount is given if paid within 10 days (called the discount
period); otherwise, the invoice is due in 30 days.
The buyer calls this discount a purchase discount.
A purchase discount is normally based on the invoice cost less returns and
allowances, if any.
TO ILLUSTRATE
The credit terms for the purchase of 20 computer units (total cost PHP200,000) is
2/10, n/30. This means that if Magaling pays on or before January 13, 2016, it is
entitled to a 2% discount, otherwise Magaling will have to pay the full amount on
or before February 4, 2016 (30 days after purchase). On January 10, 2016,
Magaling paid the account in full with Delta.

SALES TRANSACTIONS: REVENUE ENTRIES FOR A MERCHANDISER
• Revenues are reported when earned in accordance with the revenue recognition
principle, and in a merchandising company, revenues are earned when the goods
are transferred from seller to buyer.

P a g e 166 | 201
lOMoARcPSD|11706204
• All sales should be supported by a document such as a cash register tape (to
provide evidence of cash sales) or cash receipt, or office receipt for cash sales,
and charge invoice for credit sales, or sales on account.
• One entry is made with each sale:
Debit — Accounts Receivable (if a credit sale) or Cash (if a cash sale) which
increases assets for the sales amount Credit — Sales which increases revenues
• The sales account is credited only for sales of goods held for resale. Sales of
assets not held for resale (such as equipment, buildings, land, etc.) are credited
directly to the asset account.

SALES RETURNS AND ALLOWANCES:
• Sales Returns result when customers are dissatisfied with merchandise and are
allowed to return the goods to the seller for credit or a refund.
• Sales Allowances result when customers are dissatisfied, and the seller allows a
deduction from the selling price.
• To grant the return or allowance, the seller prepares a credit memorandum to
inform the customer that a credit has been made to the customer’s account
receivable.
• Sales Returns and Allowances is a contra revenue account to the Sales account.
A contra account is a reduction to a particular account.
• A contra account is used, instead of debiting sales, to disclose the amount of
sales returns and allowances in the accounts.
• This information is important to management as excessive returns and
allowances suggest inferior merchandise, inefficiencies in filling orders, errors in
billing customers, and mistakes in delivery or shipment of goods.
• The normal balance of Sales Returns and Allowances is a debit.
• One entry is made with each sales return and allowance:
The entry to record the sales return or allowance:
• Debit — Sales Return and Allowances which decreases revenues for the amount
of the sale • Credit — Accounts Receivable (if a credit sale) or Cash (if a cash sale)
which decreases assets

On January 16, 2016, Rafael Reyes returned one unit of the computers purchased
last January 15, 2016 under Charge Invoice 001. The unit returned was in good
condition. However, Rafael Reyes returned the unit because it is one unit more
than what they need. The return was approved and accepted by Magaling. The
price will be deducted from the account of Rafael Reyes.

SALES DISCOUNTS
1. A sales discount is the offer of a cash discount to encourage customers to pay
the balance at an earlier date.
2. An example of a discount term is commonly expressed as: 2/10, n/30, which
means that the customer is given 2% discount if payment is made within 10 days.
After 10 days there is no discount, and the balance is due in 30 days.
3. Sales Discounts is a contra revenue account with a normal debit balance.

TO ILLUSTRATE:
Assume that Magaling purchased on cash, five units of computers at PHP10,000
per unit from a supplier on January 17, 2016. These units were subsequently sold
to Jun Cruz on January 18, 2016 under Charge Invoice (ChI) No. 002 amounting
to PHP90,000 (PHP18,000 per unit) with terms 2/10, n/30, FOB Shipping Point.
On January 23, 2016, Cruz paid the said account in full.

net of the 2% discount because he made the payment within the discount period.
Take note that the discount period in this case was from January 19, 2016 to
January 28, 2016 (10 days).

Determining Cost of Goods Sold under Periodic Inventory System
The Cost of Goods Sold under the periodic inventory system is determined at the end of
the period (monthly or yearly) by a short computation, as follows:
Cost of goods sold:
Merchandise Inventory, Beginning
Purchases
Less: Purchases returns and allowances
Purchases discounts
Net purchases
Add: Freight in
Cost of goods purchased
Cost of goods available for sale
Merchandise Inventory, Ending
Cost of goods sold
Cost of goods sold:
100,000
250,000
5,000
2,000
7,000
243,000
6,000
249,000
349,000
118,570
230,250
In a periodic inventory system, separate ledger accounts are maintained for
various items composing the cost of goods sold (Purchases, Purchase Returns &
Allowances, Freight-In, Purchase Discounts). At the end of the accounting period,
a physical count of inventory is necessary to establish the ending balance of the
inventory.

Step 6 – Prepare adjusting entries. Recall in Chapter 11, the five basic
sources of adjusting entries:
1. Depreciation expense
2. Deferred expenses or prepaid expenses
3. Deferred income or unearned Income
4. Accrued expenses or accrued liabilities
5. Accrued income or accrued assets
Identify transactions in the books of Agila that will require adjustments:
• Depreciation of transportation equipment purchased on January 2, 2016
Monthly Depreciation = (Cost – Salvage or Residual Value) / 120 months
= (150,000-0) / 120
= 1,250
Adjusting entry : Depreciation Expense 1,250
Accum. Deprn- Transpo Eqpt 1,250
• Deferred or Prepaid Expenses
In the cash disbursement journal, the rental payment made on January 2, 2016 is
for the month of January and February 2016 amounting to PHP10,000. The entire
amount was charged to rental expense which is not proper because one half (1/2)
of the said payment is considered as an advance payment of rental. Thus, an asset
should be recognized. The adjusting entry is:
Prepaid Expenses 5,000
Rental Expense 5,000
Note: With this entry, the correct rental expense of PHP5,000 and a prepaid
expense of PHP5,000 ( an asset account) are recognized.
• Accrued Expenses
On January 30, 2016, fuel expenses incurred amounting to PHP2,180 should be
recorded as an expenses and liability. The entry to adjust is:
Fuel Expenses 2,180
Accrued Expenses 2,180

Step 7 - Preparation of Financial Statements. The first statement prepared is the
income statement. All income statement accounts are extended to the appropriate
column. Using the periodic inventory system, the beginning balance of
merchandise inventory account is also extended to the debit side, while the result
of the physical count to determine the ending inventory is reflected on the credit
side. The total debit and total credit are determined and if credit balance is higher
than the debit side, the difference is added to the debit side. The difference is
actually the income for the period. However, if the total debit side exceeds the total
credit side, the difference is added to the credit side and this is the net loss of the
business. The statement of financial position is then prepared. All assets, liabilities
and equity accounts are extended. The ending merchandise inventory is extended
to the debit side.

Step 8 – Closing Entries. The closing journal entries consist of the following:
• All of the nominal revenue accounts should be closed to the income summary
account by a Debit to revenue and credit to income summary.
• All of the nominal expense and cost of goods sold accounts should be closed to
the income summary by a Credit to expense and a debit to income summary.
• The Merchandise Inventory, Beginning is closed to Income summary account by
a debit to Income Summary and a credit to Merchandise Inventory.
• The Merchandise Inventory, Ending is set up in the books by a debit to
Merchandise Inventory, Ending and a credit to Income Summary.
Fundamentals of Accounting, Business Management 1
Downloaded by Resty Quito (restyquito2290@gmail.com)
P a g e 180 | 201
lOMoARcPSD|11706204
The amount that will be used is the result of the physical count.
• The balance in the income summary account should now reflect the net income
for the accounting period. The next journal entry should close the income summary
account to the equity or capital account. If there is a net profit this entry will be a
debit to income summary and a credit to owner’s capital account.
Once the closing journal entries have been entered into the general journal, the
information should be posted to the general ledger. When this is accomplished, all
of the nominal accounts in the general ledger should have zero balances. To
double check on this, we prepare another trial balance based on the new balances
in the general ledger. If we have any nominal accounts with positive balances, a
mistake was made along the way and will need to be corrected before proceeding
to the next accounting period.

ENRICHMENT
As mentioned above, there are two methods in accounting for inventory: the
periodic inventory system and perpetual inventory system.
PERPETUAL INVENTORY SYSTEM
Recording Purchases and related transactions under the Perpetual Inventory
System
PURCHASES OF MERCHANDISE: PERPETUAL SYSTEM
• When merchandise is purchased for resale to customers, the account,
Merchandise Inventory, is debited for the cost of goods purchased.
• Like sales, purchases may be made for cash or on account (credit).
• The purchase is normally recorded by the purchaser when the goods are received
from the seller.
• Each credit purchase should be supported by a purchase invoice.
• A purchase invoice received by the buyer is actually a sales invoice or a charge
invoice prepared by the supplier or vendor.
• Note that only purchases of merchandise are debited to Merchandise Inventory.
Purchases of other assets: supplies, equipment, and similar items) are debited to
their respective accounts.
TO ILLUSTRATE: Magaling Computer Store started its operations on January 2,
2016. The store is located in Sikat Mall in Bicol. The owner invested PHP500,000
to start the business. On January 3, 2016, Magaling purchased 20 computer units
on account for PHP10,000 each. Upon delivery of the units, the supplier Delta, Inc.
issued a Charged Invoice No. 145 to Magaling.

ACCOUNTING FOR FREIGHT COSTS
The sales agreement should indicate whether the seller or the buyer is to pay the
cost of transporting the goods to the buyer’s place of business. The two most
common arrangements for freight costs are FOB SHIPPING POINT AND FOB
DESTINATION.
PURCHASE RETURNS AND ALLOWANCES
• A purchaser may be dissatisfied with merchandise received because the goods
are:
• damaged or defective
• of inferior quality
• not in accordance with the purchaser’s specifications
• The purchaser initiates the request for a reduction of the balance due through the
issuance of a debit memorandum. The debit memorandum is a document issued
by a buyer to inform a seller that the seller’s account has been debited because of
unsatisfactory goods.
• A return of the merchandise (a deduction from the purchase price when
unsatisfactory goods are kept) is shown by the entry where Accounts Payable is
debited and Merchandise Inventory is credited to show that the cost of the
Merchandise Inventory is reduced with a return or an allowance.
TO ILLUSTRATE:
Out of the 20 units of the computers purchased last January 3, 2016, it was found
out after inspection on the same day that one unit was damaged during shipment.
Magaling issued a debit memorandum (DM 01) and informed the supplier that it
will return the one damaged unit.

ACCOUNTING FOR FREIGHT COSTS
The sales agreement should indicate whether the seller or the buyer is to pay the
cost of transporting the goods to the buyer’s place of business. The two most
common arrangements for freight costs are FOB SHIPPING POINT AND FOB
DESTINATION.
FOB Shipping Point
Goods placed free on board (FOB) the carrier by seller.
• Buyer pays freight costs.
• Merchandise Inventory is debited if buyer pays freight.
• Cash is credited if the goods come on cash on delivery (COD), for example, and
was paid immediately. Accounts Payable would be credited if on account.
• Ownership over the goods is transferred to the buyer once it is out of the premises
of the seller.
FOB Destination
• Goods placed free on board (FOB) at buyer’s business.
• Seller pays freight costs.
• Delivery Expense is debited if seller pays freight on outgoing merchandise to a
buyer which is an operating expense to the seller.
• Ownership over the goods is transferred to the buyer once the goods are
delivered and received by the buyer.

PURCHASE DISCOUNTS:
• Credit terms (specify the amount of cash discount and time period during which
a discount is offered) may permit the buyer to claim a cash discount for the prompt
payment of a balance due. If the credit terms show 2/10, n/30 means a 2% is
discount is given if paid within 10 days (called the discount period); otherwise the
invoice is due in 30 days.
• The buyer records this discount as a reduction to Merchandise Inventory.
• A purchase discount is normally based on the invoice cost less returns and
allowances, if any.

Recording of Sales and related transactions under the Perpetual Inventory System
SALES TRANSACTIONS: REVENUE ENTRIES FOR A MERCHANDISER
• Revenues are reported when earned in accordance with the revenue recognition
principle; and in a merchandising company, revenues are earned when the goods
are transferred from seller to buyer.
• All sales should be supported by a document such as a cash register tape
(provide evidence of cash sales) or cash receipt or office receipt for cash sales,
and charge invoice for credit sales or sales on account.
• Two entries are made with each sale:
• The first entry records the sale:
Fundamentals of Accounting, Business Management 1
Downloaded by Resty Quito (restyquito2290@gmail.com)
P a g e 186 | 201
lOMoARcPSD|11706204
• Debit — Accounts Receivable (if a credit sale) or Cash (if a cash sale) which
increases assets for the sales amount
• Credit — Sales which increases revenues
• The second entry records the cost of the merchandise sold:
• Debit — Cost of Goods Sold which increases expenses
• Credit — Merchandise Inventory which decreases assets
• The sales account is credited only for sales of good held for resale. Sales of
assets not held for resale (such as equipment, buildings, land, etc.) are credited
directly to the asset account.
TO ILLUSTRATE :
Assume that no freight costs were incurred when the 20 computer units were
purchased.
For the month of January, Magaling made the following sale:
1/10/2016 Official Receipt (OR) No. 001 Sold two units for cash to Marie Cruz for

SALES RETURNS AND ALLOWANCES:
• Sales Returns result when customers are dissatisfied with merchandise and are
allowed to return the goods to the seller for credit or a refund.
• Sales Allowances result when customers are dissatisfied, and the seller allows a
deduction from the selling price.
• To grant the return or allowance, the seller prepares a credit memorandum to
inform the customer that a credit has been made to the customer’s accounts
receivable.

P a g e 188 | 201
lOMoARcPSD|11706204
• Sales Returns and Allowances is a contra revenue account to the Sales account.
A contra account is a reduction to a particular account.
• A contra account is used, instead of debiting sales, to disclose in the accounts
the amount of sales returns and allowances.
• This information is important to management, as excessive returns and
allowances suggest inferior merchandise, inefficiencies in filling orders, errors in
billing customers, and mistakes in delivery or shipment of goods.
• The normal balance of Sales Returns and Allowances is a debit.
• Two entries are made with each sale return and allowance:
• The first entry records the sales return or allowance:
• Debit —Sales Return and Allowances which decreases revenues for the amount
of the sale
• Credit — Accounts Receivable (if a credit sale) or Cash (if a cash sale) which
decreases assets
• The second entry records the increase in Merchandise Inventory:
• Debit — Merchandise Inventory which increases assets
• Credit — Cost of Goods Sold which decreases expenses
TO ILLUSTRATE:
On January 16, 2016, Rafael Reyes returned one unit of the computers purchased
last January 15, 2016 under Charge Invoice 001. The unit returned was in good
condition. However, Rafael Reyes returned the unit because it is one unit more
than what they need. The return was approved and accepted by Magaling. The
price will be deducted from the account of Rafael Reyes.

SALES DISCOUNTS
1. A sales discount is the offer of a cash discount to a customer to encourage them
to pay the balance at an earlier date.
2. An example of a discount term is commonly expressed as: 2/10, n/30, which
means that the customer is given 2% discount if payment is made within 10 days.
After 10 days there is no discount, and the balance is due in 30 days.
3. Sales Discounts is a contra revenue account with a normal debit balance.

Determining Cost of Goods Sold under the Perpetual Inventory System
The Cost of Goods Sold under the perpetual inventory system is determined by
getting the running balance in the general ledger of the account. Recall the
previous discussion on posting the journal entries to the general ledger. At any
point in time, you can determine the cumulative cost of goods sold under the
perpetual inventory system because in this system a separate general ledger for
“Cost of Goods Sold” is maintained.
THE FLOW OF INVENTORY COSTS
Under the periodic inventory system, physical count is necessary to determine the
ending balance of merchandise inventory. After the count, the costs of these
inventory items will be computed. There are instances that the unit prices for
merchandise purchased are different. Consider this scenario:

Geo San is in the business of buying and selling canned sardines. On January
2016, Geo had the following transactions:
1/1/16
1/10/16
1/20/16
Merchandise inventory on hand 1,000 cans @ PHP10/can
Purchased 5,000 cans @ PHP11 /can
Purchased 4,000 cans @ PHP12/can
Total
PhP 10,000
55,000
48,000
Php113,000
During the month of January the total sales in units is 7,000. Therefore, the ending
inventory in units is 3,000 cans of sardines (1,000+5,000+4,000-7,000). The
problem now is the unit cost that will be used to determine the value of the ending
inventory. This is where the cost flow assumption is needed.
The two most commonly used cost flow assumptions are:
• Average Cost
Using the above example, average unit cost is simply computed by dividing the
total cost (PHP113,000) by total quantities (1,000+5,000+4,000) 11,000. Average
unit cost is PHP11.30
The cost of merchandise inventory ending is 3,000 x PHP11.30 = PHP33,900
• First in, First Out (FIFO)
As the name implies, FIFO involves the assumption that goods sold are the first
units that were purchased - that means the oldest goods on hand. Thus, the
remaining inventory is comprised of the most recent purchases.
Applying this to the problem above, the 7,000 units sold were taken from:
1,000 @ PHP10
5,000 @ PHP11
1,000 @ PHP12
———————7,000 units
Therefore, the ending inventory will come from the January 20 purchases: 3,000
@ PHP12 = PHP36,000
