DEFINITION and NATURE OF ACCOUNTING
Accounting is defined as a service activity. Its function is to provide quantitative
information, primarily financial in nature, about economic entities that is intended to be
useful in making economic decisions.
Accountants render services by providing information about economic entities that is
measured in terms of money. These entities are either profit-oriented (business entities or
business enterprises) or non-profit-entities. Generally, all parties who have interest in an
entity, whether direct or indirect, are called stakeholders. These stakeholders use accounting
information are grouped into two, namely:
1. External Users - they are groups or individuals who are not directly concerned with
the day-to-day operation of the entity but are indirectly related to the said entity.
They include creditors, investors, potential creditors and investors, government and
the public. They make decisions that affect their relationship to the entity.
2. Internal Users - they are the management personnel in all levels within and entity
who are responsible for the planning and control of the operations and therefore, they
have access to the day-to-day operations of the entity. They make decisions the
internal operations of the entity.
Generally, the reports provided by the accountants are expressed and measured in financial or
money terms; these reports are called financial reports and are of various types. One type of
financial reports are the general-purpose financial statements. These Conceptual Framework for
Financial Reporting issued by the Financial Reporting Standard Council (FRSC) identifies
existing and potential investors, lenders and other creditors as the primary users of generalpurpose financial statements. Other users include regulators and members of the public other than
investors, lenders and other creditors. The following are some of the users of financial
information and the use of such information in the decisions that they make.
1. Investors - they are concerned with the risk inherent in, and return provided by, their
investments. They need information to help them determine whether they should make
additional investments, hold or sell their investments. Shareholders (owners or investors
in a corporation) need information that will enable them to asses the ability of the
corporation to pay dividends.
2. Lenders - they are interested in information that enable them to determine whether their
loans, and the interest attaching to them, will be paid when due.
3. Suppliers and other trade creditors - they are interested in information that enable them
to determine whether amounts owing to them will be paid when due.
2
4. Employees – they are interested in the information about the stability and profitability of
their employers. They are also interested in information that will enable them to assess the
ability of their employers to provide remuneration, retirement benefits and employment
opportunities.
5. Customers – they are interested in the information about the continuance of an entity,
especially when they have a long-term involvement with, or are dependent on, the entity
6. Government and their agencies – they are interested in the allocation of resources and,
therefore, the activities of the entities. They also require information so that they can
regulate the activities of entities, determine taxation policies and as the basis for national
income and similar statistics.
7. Public – they are interested in information about the trends and recent developments in
the prosperity of the entity and the range of its activities.
ACCOUNTING PROCESS
Accounting process refers to the procedures or series of steps undertaken to come up with the
information reported in the financial statements. The accounting process is also referred to as the
accounting cycle.
The accounting process is divided into two phases, namely; (1) the recording phase and (2)
summarizing phase. These two phases and the steps under each phase are discussed in the
succeeding paragraphs.
RECORDING PHASE
The recording phase includes collecting information about economic transactions and the
recording of these transactions in the appropriate accounting records. A transaction is an
economic event that changes an asset, a liability, or an equity account balance; hence it must be
recorded. Accounting records, on the other hand, include business documents, journals, and
ledgers.
Transactions are recorded in terms of debits and credits (double-entry system). Debit is the left
side of an account while credit is the right side of an account. Following are the rules of debuts
and credits:

Key Points:


If a work sheet is not prepared, the adjusting entries must be journalized and posted
before the financial statements can be prepared. This is because the basis for the
preparation of the financial statements are the updated balances of the account in
the general ledger.
The cycle is a continuing process and steps may overlap during an accounting
period
The recording phase is composed of the following steps:
1. Documentation — this is the process of preparing or receiving appropriate business
documents. Business documents are original source materials which serve as
evidence of transactions. They include official receipts. sales invoices, purchase
invoices, credit memoranda, and debit memoranda.
2. Journalizing — this is the process of recording transactions for the first time in the
accounting books called journals. This is the reason why the journals are called
books of original entry. Transactions are recorded based on the documents prepared
or received in number (1) above.
The company may use a general journal and one or more special journals. The general is
the most flexible type of journal where almost all type of transactions can be recorded. On
the other hand, the special journals are used in recording transactions that are usual and
that occur frequently or on a repetitive basis. The types of special journals are the sales
journal, purchases journal, cash receipts journal, and cash disbursement journal.
3. Posting — this is the process of transferring the recorded transactions in the
journal to the accounts in the ledger. A ledger is a group of related accounts and is
also called the book of final entry. The objective of posting is to classify the
effects of transactions on specific asset, liability, equity, income and expenses
accounts.
A company may maintain both a ledger and subsidiary ledger depending upon its needs. The
general ledger is the principal ledger which contains all the accounts that are reported in the
financial statements, namely; assets, liabilities, equity, income, and expenses. It also
includes contra and adjunct accounts. Contra accounts are accounts established to record
deductions from related accounts with positive balances such as Accumulated Depreciation
(deducted from Property, Plant & Equipment), Discount on Notes Payable (deducted from
Notes Payable), Sales Discount (deducted from Sales), and Purchases Discount (deducted
from Purchases). Adjunct Accounts are accounts set up to record additions to related
accounts such as Freight-In (added to Purchases).
5
The subsidiary ledgers contain details of some general ledgers account balances. For
example, the Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable account balances are found in
General Ledger. The compositions of their balances are found in the subsidiary ledgers. To
illustrate, let us assume that Bountiful Merchandising reports account receivable from
customers totaling P2,500,000. This total amount of P2,5000,000 is reflected in the
Accounts Receivable account in general ledger. The names of customers and the amount due
from each of them are found in the subsidiary ledger. A general ledger account that has a
supporting subsidiary ledger is called a control account.
SUMMARIZING PHASE
4. Preparing a trial balance – this is the process of preparing a summary of
the balances of the accounts in the general ledger known as the trial
balance. After all transactions are posted, the balance of each account is
determined. Asset, Expense, and temporary capital accounts such as
Drawings have normal debit balances; Liability, Equity, and Income
accounts have normal credit balances.
A trial balances is prepared to prove the equality of the debits and credits
but it does not indicate the accuracy of work done. As discussed in a
previous accounting subject, there are errors in recording that will not
cause inequality in the trial balance. An example of this is debiting or
crediting an incorrect account such as a debit to Accounts Receivable
erroneously debited to Notes Receivable. Another example is failure to
record a transaction or recording the same transaction twice. The
preparation of a trial balance is normally done in the work sheet.
5. Compiling adjusting data - this is the process of gathering and putting
together various data necessary to update the balances of certain accounts
in the book of the company. Adjustments based on compiled data are then
recorded before the financial statements are prepared. The adjustments are
necessary so that the income and expenses will be reported in the period
they are earned and incurred, respectively: hence profit will not be
misstated. The most common types of adjusting data are the following:
a. Accrued Expense- this is an expense incurred but not yet paid as of
the statement of financial position (balance sheet) date, such as
interests accrued on notes payable. Another example is accrued
salaries of employees. An accrued expense is unpaid as of the
statement of financial position date but is matched against income or
earnings for the current period. Adjustment for accrued expense is
recorded as follows:
Expense
xx
Payable
xx
6
Example: The ABC company has an outstanding 90-day, 12% note payable
dated December 1, 2014amounting to P200,000. The interest is payable upon
maturity of the note. The company’s accounting period or financial year is the
calendar year, that is, January 1 to December 31. Interest for 30 days has accrued
on the note as of December 31, 2014 (that is December 1 to December 31). The
adjusting entry to record the accrued interest is as follows:
Interest Expense
2,000
Interest Payable
2,000
P200,000 x 125 x 30/360 = P2,000
Example 2 – DEF Company pays salaries every Friday, the end of a five-day work week.
The total salaries for the week ending January 3, 2015 is P150,000.
In this case, the P150,000 salaries for the week ending January 3, 2015 is for the services
rendered by the employees on December 30, December 31, January 1, January 2, and
January 3. Therefore, the company ahs accrued salaries for two (2) days, as of January 31,
2015. The adjusting entry to record the accrued salaries is as follows:
Salary Expense
60,000
Salaries Payable
60,000
P150,000 x 2/5 = P60,000
b. Accrued Income – this is the income earned but not yet received or collected as
of the statement of financial position date, such as accrued interest on notes
receivable. An accrued income is not yet collected but is matched with expenses
for current period. The adjusting entry to record accrued income is as follows:
Receivable
xx
Income
xx
Example 3 - GHI Company received a 3-month, 12% note dated December 1, 2014
amounting P100,000. Interest is receivable upon maturity of the note.
As of December 31, 2014, interest for one month (that us, December 1 to December 31) is
already earned but not yet collected. The adjusting entry to record the accrual interest
income is as follows
Interest Receivable
Interest Income
1,000
1,000
7
c. Prepaid Expense - this is an expense pair od acquired in advance such as
insurance premium. Other examples are rent paid in advance and office supplied
purchased. The adjustment relating to prepaid expense at the end of accounting
period depends on the method used in recording the initial payment or
acquisition.
There are two methods of recording prepayments, namely; the asset method and
expense method. Under the asset method, the payment or purchase is initially
debited to an asset account. At the end of the accounting period, the expired or
used portion of the asset is transferred to an expense account. Under the expense
method, the payment or purchase is initially debited to an expense account. At
the end of the accounting period, the unexpired or unused portion of the asset is
transferred to an asset account.

Example 4 – On Mau 1, 2014, JKL Company paid insurance premium of P30,000 covering
a period of one year beginning on this date. The entries to record the payment on May 1 and
the adjusting entry on December 31 under the two methods are presented below:

P30,000 x 4/12 = P10,000
The unexpired portion of the insurance premium is 4 months, that is, 12 months less the
expired portion of eight (8) month
d. Unearned Income – this is income already collected but not yet earned as of the
statement pf financial position dare, such as rental income collected in advance
or subscriptions received in advance. Unearned income is also known as deferred
income. Like prepaid expense, the adjustment for unearned income at the end of
the accounting period depends on how the nitial receipt of each is recorded
The receipt of the advance payment may be recorded using the liability method or
income method. Under the liability method, the collection is initially credited to a
liability account, at the end of the accounting period, the earned portion of the
income is transferred to an income account. Under the income method, the collection
is initially credited to an income account, at the end of the accounting period, the
unearned portion of the income is transferred to a liability account. The following are
comparative entries to record the receipt of cash and the adjustment at the end of the
accounting period under two methods:
1. To record the initial receipt of cash

The unearned portion is the rent for eight (8) months; that is, twelve (12) months less the
earned portion of four (4) months.
e.
Depreciation of property, plat and equipment and other cost allocation –
Depreciation is defined as PAS 16 as the systematic allocation of the depreciable
amount of an item of property, plant and equipment over its useful life.
Depreciable amount is the cost of an asset, or other amounts substituted for cost,
less its residual value. The entry to record the depreciation expense is as follows:
Depreciation Expense
Accumulated Depreciation
xxx
xxx
The depreciation expense for the period is determined using any of the
acceptable methods identified in PAS 16- straight-line method, diminishing
balance method, and units of production methods. The straight-line method will
be used in the illustration and problems in this chapter and in all other chapters
of this book. The other methods will be discussed in higher accounting subjects.
Under the straight-line method, the annual depreciation expense I computed as
follows:
Depreciation expense/year = Cost – Residual Value
Estimated useful life (in years)
10
If the asset is used for less than a year, the proportionate expense should be
calculated, unless the company adopts a different policy such as providing halfyear depreciation in the year of acquisition of the asset.
The account “Accumulated Depreciation” is a contra asset account; it is reported
in the statement of financial position as a deduction from the related property,
plant and equipment account.
Other cost allocation includes amortization of intangible assets like franchise and
patents. This topic is being discussed in higher accounting subjects.
Example 6 - PQR Company acquired an office equipment on October 1, 2013
for P310,000. The asset has an estimated useful life of 5 years and an estimated
residual value pf P10,000. The entries to record the expense of 2013 and 2014
are presented on the next page .

Depreciation expense for 2013 is for three months; that is, October 1 to December 31, 2013
2014
Dec 31
Depreciation Expense
Accumulated Depreciation
60,000
60,000
Depreciation expense for 2014 is for one year or twelve (12) months.
f. Uncollectible accounts – these represent customer’s accounts that may no longer collected or
that may possibly become bad debts. PAS No.39 provides that trade accounts receivable should
be reported in the statement of financial position at amortized cost. Amortized cost is defined as
the amount at which the receivable is measured at the time it was first recognized minus any
payments and minus any reduction (directly or through the use of an allowance account) for
uncollectibility. The entry to record estimated uncollectible accounts is as follows:
Uncollectible Accounts Expense
Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts
xxx
xxx
PAS No. 39 requires a careful assessment of the collectability of the receivables (classified as
financial assets).
Several considerations have to be taken account, which will be discussed
thoroughly in higher accounting subject.
For purposes of discussion in this book, the
estimated uncollectible amount will be provided.
The amount of uncollectible accounts expense that will be reported in the income statement is
computed as follows:
Required allowance balance
Pxxx
Allowance balance before adjustment
(+ debit balance/ - credit balance)
xxx
Uncollectible accounts expense for the period
Pxxx
The amount “Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts” is a contra asset account; it is reported on
the statement of financial position as a deduction from Accounts Receivable.
12
Example 7: STU Company’s trial balance dated December 31,2014, contains the following
information:
Accounts receivable
P 350,000 debit
Allowance for uncollectible accounts
2,000 credit
Sales
1, 850,000 credit
Estimated uncollectible accounts amounted to P6,050.
The entry to record uncollectible accounts expense follows:
Uncollectible Accounts Expense
Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts
Required allowance balance
Allowance balance before adjustment – credit
Uncollectible accounts expense for the period
4,050
4,050
P6,050
2,000
P4,050
g. Inventory – adjustment for inventory is necessary if the periodic inventory system is used.
Under the periodic inventory system, the company does not record the physical movement of
goods. Purchases of goods are recorded in the nominal account “Purchases”. The reduction in
inventory resulting from sale is not reflected in books. Thus, the balance of the Inventory account
shown in the company’s trial balance represents inventory at the beginning of the period. Because
of this adjusting entries are necessary to reflect the inventory at the end of the period.
There are two methods of recording adjustments related to inventories. Under the first method,
two entries are prepared: (1) to transfer the beginning inventory balance to the Income Summary
account and (2) to establish ending inventory balance. The entries are as follows:
1. To transfer beginning inventory balance to Income Summary
Income Summary
xxx
Inventory (or Merchandise Inventory)
xxx
2. To record ending inventory balance
Inventory (or Merchandising Inventory)
Income Summary
xxx
xxx
Under the second approach, a separate cost of goods sold account is set up and the entry to record
the adjustments is as follows:
Inventory (Merchandising Inventory), end
Purchases Returns and Allowances
Purchases Discounts
Cost of Goods Sold
Inventory (or Merchandising Inventory), beg.
Purchases
Freight-in
xxx
xxx
xxx
xxx
xxx
xxx
xxx
13
The balance of the Cost of Goods Sold account is closed to Income Summary as part of
the normal closing entries.
6. Preparing a work sheet/end-of-period spreadsheet – this step is optional but it facilitates the
preparation of the financial statements. A work sheet is a working paper which contains the data
in the trial balance, the adjustments compiled in step 5, and the developed income statements and
statement of financial position data. Normally, four pairs of columns are maintained to achieved
the purpose by which the worksheet is prepared. The first pair of amount of columns is for the
trial balance data; the second pair is for the adjustments; the third pair is for the income statement
data; and the fourth pair is for the statement of financial position data. In some cases, another pair
of column for adjusted trial balance is added following the adjustments columns and preceding
the income statements columns. Working papers are usually prepared by using a computer
spreadsheet program such as Microsoft’s Excel.
7. Preparing the financial statements – after the work sheet is completed, the financial
statements are prepared. The data reported in the statements are taken from the completed work
sheet. However, if a work sheet is not prepared, the adjusting data must be journalized and posted
before the financial statements can be prepared. This is because the data reported in the
statements are taken from the updated balances of the accounts in the general ledger. The
financial statements are described as the end product of the accounting process.
PAS 1 provides that a complete set of financial statements shall consists of the following:
1. Statement of financial position (balance sheet)
2. Statement of comprehensive income
3. Statement of cash flows
4. Statement of changes in owner’s equity
5. Notes
An entity may prepare a single statement of comprehensive income or two separate statements – a
statement of income and statement of other comprehensive income. Other comprehensive income
includes items of unrealized gains and losses that are not reported as part of profit or loss, such as
revaluation surplus arising from reporting of plant assets at revalued amounts and gain (loss)
from change in fair value of investments classified as available for sale.
8. Adjusting and closing the books – the adjustments that were recorded in the work sheet are
now formally recorded in the general journal and posted to the accounts in the general ledger. The
balances of the nominal (temporary) accounts, which consist of income, expense, and drawing
accounts, are then closed to Income Summary account. The balance of the Income Summary
account is then transferred to the owner’s equity (capital) account. A debit balance in the Income
Summary account represents a loss while a credit balance represents a profit. Lastly, the
14
balance of the owner’s drawing account is closed to owner’s equity (capital) account. When the
closing process is completed, all nominal accounts will have zero balances.
Following are the pro-forma closing entries prepared at the end of the accounting period:
1. To close the balances of income accounts
Revenue/Income
xxx
Income Summary
xxx
2. To close the balance of expense accounts
Income Summary
Expenses
xxx

3. To close the balance of Income Summary account (credit balance)
Income Summary
xxx
Capital
xxx
To close the balance of Income Summary account (debit balance)
Capital
xxx
Income Summary
xxx
4. To close the balance of the drawing account
Capital
Drawing
xxx
xxx
9. Preparing a post-closing trial balance – this step is done after all the balances of nominal
accounts have been closed, that is, their balances were reduced to zero. Therefore, a post-closing
trial balance contains only the real accounts (assets, liabilities and equity); the balances of these
accounts are carried forward to the next accounting period. A post-closing trial balance is
prepared to check the equality of debits and credits after journalizing and posting the closing
entries.
10. Reversing the accounts – certain adjusting entries recorded at the end of the accounting
period are reversed at the beginning of a new accounting period. These adjustments include
accrued expenses, accrued revenues or income, prepaid expenses recorded under the expense
method and deferred revenues or income recorded under the revenue method.
The preparation of reversing entries is optional but it facilitates the recording of expense
payments and revenue receipts in the new period in the usual manner. This means that expense
payments are recorded as a debit to an expense account and a credit to cash; revenue receipts are
recorded as a debit to cash and a credit to revenue or income account.
15
The adjustment that will be reserved if reversing entries are prepared and the pro-forma reversing
entries prepared at the beginning of a new accounting period are as follows:
1. Accrued Expense

REVIEW of the LEARNING OBJECTIVES
1. Understanding the definition of accounting and identify the users of accounting
information. Accounting is a service activity. Its function is to provide quantitative information,
primarily financial in nature, about economic entities, that is intended to be useful in making
economic decisions. The users of accounting information are grouped into external users and
internal users. The users of financial statements include present and potential investor,
employees, lenders, suppliers and other trade creditors, customers, governments and their
agencies, and the public. They use the financial statements to make informed decisions.
2. Identify and explain the steps in the accounting process. The accounting process (also called
the accounting cycle/ is composed of ten (10) steps, two of which are optional. These steps are
grouped into two phases, namely: (1) the recording phase, and (2) the summarizing phases. The
three steps under of recording phase are the following: (1) preparing or receiving the appropriate
documents (documentation), (2) journalizing the transactions, and (3) posting the recorded
transactions to the accounts in the ledger. The seven (7) steps under the summarizing phase are as
follows: (1) preparing the trial balance, (2) compiling the data for adjustments, (3) preparing the
worksheet (optional), (4) preparing the financial statements, and (7) preparing reversing entries
for certain adjusting entries (optional)
16
3. Preparing adjusting entries and understanding the rationale for preparing them. Adjusting
entries are prepared at the end of the accounting period to update the balances of the accounts in
the general ledger prior to the preparation of the financial statements. This will enable the
preparers of the financial statements to present fairly the financial position and the results of
operations of an entity during a given period because all transactions that have affected the
elements of the financial statements are recognized during the period. Data that require
adjustments includes the following: (1) accrued expense, (2) accrued income, (3) prepaid
expense, (4) unearned income, (5) depreciation and other cost allocation, (6) uncollectible
accounts receivable, and (7) inventory recorded using the periodic inventory system.
4. Prepare closing entries and understand the rationale for preparing them. Closing entries are
prepared for nominal accounts to reduce their balances to zero at the end the accounting period.
Nominal accounts include the following: income accounts, expense accounts, and temporary
equity accounts, such as the drawing account of the owner in a sole proprietorship form of
business organization.
5. Explain the advantage of preparing the reversing entries and identify adjusting entries that
may be reversed. Reversing entries are prepared at the beginning of a new accounting period for
the following adjustments: (1) accrued expense, (2) accrued Income, (3) prepaid expense
recorded under the expense method, and (4) unearned income, recorded under the income
method. The preparation or reversing entries is optional but it facilitates the recording of expense
payment and revenue receipts during the new accounting in the usual manner.
GLOSSARY of ACCOUNTING TERMINOLIGIES
Accounting - a service activity. Its function is to provide quantitative information, primarily
financial in nature, about economic entities that is intended to be useful in making economic
decisions.
Accounting process - also as accounting cycle. It includes a series of steps that are performed to
come up with the information reported in the financial statements.
Accrued expense - expense incurred but not yet paid as of the statement of financial position
date. Accrued expense is not paid but is matched against earnings for the current period.
Accrued income - income earned but not yet received or collected as of the statement of financial
position date. Accrued revenue is uncollected but is matched against expense for the current
period.
17

CHARACTERISTICS OF A PARTNERSHIP
1. Mutual agency. Any partner may act as agent of the partnership in conducting its
affairs.
2. Unlimited liability. The personal assets (assets not contributed to the partnership)
of any partner may be used to satisfy the partnership creditors' claim upon liquidation,
if partnership assets are not enough to settle the liabilities to outsiders.
3. Limited life. A partnership may be dissolved at any time by action of the partners
or by operation of law.
4. Mutual participation in profits. A partner has the right to share in partnership
profits.
5. Legal entity. A partnership has legal personality separate and distinct from that of
each of the partners.
6. Co-ownership of contributed assets. Property contributed to the partnership are
owned by the partnership by virtue of its separate legal personality.
7. Income tax. Partnerships, except general professional partnerships (i.e., those
organized for the exercise of professions like CPAs, lawyers, engineers, etc.) are
subject to the 30% income tax.
ADVANTAGES OF A PARTNERSHIP
1. It is easy and inexpensive to organize, as it is formed by a simple contract between
two or more persons.
2. The unlimited liability of the partners makes it reliable from the point of view of
creditors.
3. The combined personal credited of the partners offer better opportunity for
obtaining additional capital that does a sole proprietorship.
4. The participation in the business by more than one person makes it possible for a
closer supervision of all the partnership activities.
5. The direct gain to the partners is an incentive to give close attention to the business.
6. The personal element in the characters if the partners are retained.
45
DISADVANTAGES OF A PARTNERSHIP

ACCOUNTING FOR PARTNERSHIPS
PLURALITY OF CAPITAL AND DRAWING ACCOUNTS. Accounting for a
partnership differs from other forms of business organizations with regard to capital
accounts. In a partnership, there should be as many capital accounts and as many
drawing accounts as there are partners (that is, one capital account and one drawing
account is maintained for each partner).
CAPITAL ACCOUNT
1. Permanent withdrawal (decrease)
1. Original investment by a partner
of capital
2. Share in partnership loss from
2. Additional investment by a
operation
partner
51
3. Debit balance of drawing
account closed to capital
3. Share in partnership profits from
operations to be added to capital
52
DRAWING ACCOUNT
1 Personal withdrawal by a partner
1 Share in partnership profits from
operations (this may be credited
directly to the partner’s capital
account)
2 Share in partnership loss from
operations (this may be debited
directly to partner’s capital
account)
OPENING ENTRIES
Partners may contribute cash, property, or industry to the partnership. Appropriate
asset accounts are debited for the assets contributed and partners’ capital accounts are
credited for the total amount of assets contributed.
If the asset contributed is in the form of cash, it is recorded on the partnership books
at face value; if the asset contributed is in the form of property or non-cash asset, it is
recorded at agreed value, or in the absence of an agreement, at fair market value.
When industry is contributed into the partnership, a memorandum entry is prepared.
PARTNERSHIP FORMATION
FORMATION A: TWO OR MORE PERSONS FORM A PARTNERSHIP FOR THE
FIRST TIME ALL THE PARTNERS ARE NEW IN THE BUSINESS.

FORMATIÓN B: A SOLE PROPRIETOR AND AN INDIVIDUAL FORM A
PARTNERSHIP
Usually, one of the prospective partners is already engaged in business prior to the formation of
the partnership. In such a case, the partner may transfer his /her assets and liabilities (net assets)
to the partnership at agreed values or at fair market values if there are no agreed values. The
partnership may either: (1) use the books of the sole proprietor, or (2) open a new set of books.
However, it is a common practice that a new set of books are opened for any new business
undertaking.
54
When individual set of books are kept by each partner or by any one of the partners, entries are
made on the separate books of the partners for adjustments to the recorded values. These
adjustments are made through the capital account. The capital account is
credited for increases in the value of net assets and is debited for decreases in the value of net
assets.
Alternatively, a Capital Adjustment Account may also be used. The balance of this account,
after recording all the necessary adjustments, is transferred to the capital accounts.
Illustrative Problem A: Aguilar and Angeles formed a partnership wherein Aguilar is to
contribute cash while Angeles is to transfer the assets and liabilities (net assets) of his
business. Account balances on the books of Angeles are as follows:.
Debit

Inventories

Angeles, Capital
Credit
300.000

The partners agreed on the following conditions:
1. An allowance for uncollectible accounts of P22,000 is to be established.
2. The inventories are to be valued at their current replacement cost of P270,000 3.
Prepaid expenses of P12,000 and accrued expenses of PS,000 are to be
recognized.
4. Angeles is to be credited for an amount equal to the net assets transferred.
5. Aguilar is to contribute sufficient cash to have an equal interest in the partnership
Assumption 1- The partnership will use the books of the sole proprietor
The following procedures should be followed in accounting for this type of formation:
1. Adjust the books of the sole proprietor to bring account balances to agreed values.
2. Record the investment of the other partner.
55
The adjusting entries necessary upon partnership formation, in order to arrive at the agreed
values, are recorded through the capital accounts of the partners. However, a capital adjustment
account may also be used and its balance is transferred to the capital accounts after all
adjustments in net assets are made.
The following rules will be helpful in making the necessary adjusting entries:
Debit asset and credit capital for increases in asset values
Debit capital and credit asset for decreases in asset values
Debit capital aid credit liabilities for increases in liability balances
Debit liabilities and credit capital for decreases in liability balances
In the case of contra asset accounts, the following rules shall apply:
Debit contra asset account and credit capital for increases in asset values
Debit capital and credit contra asset account for decreases in asset values
Hence, the information on the partnership of Aguilar and Angeles will be accounted for as
follows:
Step 1: Adjust the books of the sole proprietor Angeles to agreed values
a. Angeles, Capital
Allowance for Uncollectible

Assumption 2 - The partnership will open a new set of books
When a new set of books are opened for the partnership, the entry required on the new books
of the firm is the recording of the investment of the partners at agreed values. The opening
entries on the new partnership books using the data given in Illustrative Problem A are shown
on the next page.

FORMATION C: Two OR MORE SOLE PROPRIETORS FORM A PARTNERSHIP
When all the prospective partners are already in business, they may decide to transfer their asset
and liabilities (net assets) to the partnership at values agreed upon or at fair market values, in
the absence of agreed values. The partnership may either: (1) use the
books of one of the sole proprietors, or (2) open a new set of books for the partnership. As
mentioned earlier, however, it is more common to open a new set of books for the partnership.
Illustrative Problem B: Antonio, owner of Antonio Variety Store, and Albano, owner of
Albano Trading decided to combine their businesses on July 1, 2014. Each is to transfer
business assets and liabilities (net assets) at agreed values. Statements of financial position for
the two proprietors are presented below.

The new partnership may prepare a separate entry for each partner's contribution as shown
above or a compound entry that shows the contributions of all the partners.
Key Points. In the opening entry, the plant assets are recorded net of depreciation. The account
accumulated depreciation is not carried on the partnership books. The net amount, being the
agreed value, represents the cost of the plant assets to the partnership and such amount becomes
the basis for future depreciation by the partnership. On the other hand, both accounts receivable
and the corresponding allowance for uncollectible accounts are recorded on the partnership
books. The allowance for uncollectible accounts is carried on the partnership books because of
the possibility of collection. However, if there are specific accounts receivable which are
deemed worthless, such must be written off and removed permanently from the outstanding
accounts receivable.

Antonio and Albano is shown below.

Goodwill Resulting from the Acquisition of a Sole Proprietorship by a Partnership The
acquisition of a sole proprietorship's by a partnership or formation of a partnership by a sole
proprietorship and an individual or among two or more sole proprietorships may involve the
recognition of goodwill. The goodwill shall be the result of the acquisition by the new
partnership of the net assets of the sole proprietorship/s. When the capital credit exceeds the
agreed value or fair value of the net assets acquired by the new partnership from the sole
proprietorship, the excess is treated as goodwill. The adjustment for the goodwill increases the
capital of the sole proprietor.
PFRS 3 does not allow the amortization of goodwill acquired in a combination and
instead requires the goodwill to be tested for impairment annually, or more frequently, if
events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired.
CAPITAL SHARE DIFFERENT FROM CAPITAL CONTRIBUTION
Prior to recording partners' initial contributions to the partnership, the individual partners must
first agree not only on the valuation of the net asset contributions but also on their capital share.
The capital share of each partner is the percentage of equity that each of them will have in the
net assets of the newly formed partnership. Generally, the capital share of a partner is
proportionate to his/her capital contribution. However in recognition of intangible factors such
as partners' special expertise, established clientele or necessary business connections, partners
may agree to a division of capital that is not proportionate to their capital contributions. This
situation will give rise to provision of bonus on initial investments.
Illustrative Problem C: Alfonso and Afable formed a partnership by contributing P500,000
and P600,000, respectively. Journal entries to record the investment of the partners under two
approaches are as follows:

the contribution of Afable is given as bonus to Alfonso in exchange for the intangible advantage
that Alfonso will be bringing to the partnership.
2. Bonus approach

LOAN RECEIVABLE AND LOAN PAYABLE. Aside from the contributions, partners may
also advance money to the partnership in the form of loan when the business is in need of
additional funds. Loans made by partners to the partnership, which are payable immediately by
the partnership and are usually with interest, are recorded in the account Loan Payable or Due
to Partners. This ccount is reported in the statement of financial position as a liability.
On the other hand, the partnership may advance money to partners, other than withdrawals, in
the form of loans. These loans, which are payable immediately by the partners and are usually
with interest, are recorded in the account Loan Receivable or Due from Partners. This account
is reported in the statement of financial position as an asset.
REVIEW of LEARNING OBJECTIVES
I. Define and discuss the nature of a partnership- its characteristics, advantages, and
disadvantages. A partnership is a contract whereby two or more people bind themselves to
contribute money, property, or industry into a common find with the intention of dividing
profits among themselves. A partnership has the following characteristics: (1) mutual agency:
(2) unlimited liability: (3) limited life: (4) mutual participation in profits; (5) legal entity: (6)
coownership of contributed assets; and (7) subject to income tax. A partnership is easy and
inexpensive to organize, it is more reliable on the viewpoint of the creditor, enabling it to obtain
more capital because of the unlimited liability of the partners, and there is close supervision of
all its activities because of the direct gain to the partners of a successful operation. However, a
partnership is less stable and there is divided authority among the partners. In addition, because
63
of the characteristic of mutual agency, a partner may be subject to personal liability for the
wrongful acts or omissions of his associates.
2.
Identify the different kinds of partnerships and the classes of partners. Partnerships are
classified as (1) trading or nontrading; (2) universal or particular; (3) general on limited; (4)
partnership at will or with a fixed term: (5) ordinary or partnership by estoppel: (6) de jure or de
facto; and (7) secret or open. Partners are classified as (I) capitalist, industrial or
capitalistindustrial; (2) general or limited; (3) managing or silent; and (4) liquidating, nominal,
ostensible or secret.
3.
Discuss the requirements in the formation of a partnership. A partnership may be
organized by an oral or written agreement. The written agreement which governs the formation,
operation and dissolution of a partnership is known as the Articles of Co-Partnership. A new
partnership has to comply with certain registration requirements the different government
agencies before it can operate legally.
4.
Discuss accounting for partners' initial investments in a partnership. A partner may
contribute cash, non-cash assets, or industry into the partnership. Cash contribution is credited
to a partner's capital account at face value; non-cash asset contribution is recorded at agreed
value or at fair market value, in the absence of agreed value; and a contribution in the form of
industry or service is recorded by means of memorandum entry.
64

NATURE OF PARTNERSHIP OPERATION
Accounting for partnership operations is essentially the same as accounting for the operations of
a sole proprietorship. Sale of merchandise on account is debited to Accounts Receivable and
credited to Sales. Collection of accounts is debited to Cash and credited to Accounts Receivable.
The purchase of merchandise on account is recorded by a debit to Purchases and credit to
Accounts Payable. Payment of accounts is debited to Accounts Payable and credited to Cash.
Payment of expenses is debited to Expenses and credited to Cash.
91
Chapter 3—Partnership Operations
At the end of the accounting period, adjustments are made for merchandise inventory, accruals,
prepayments, provision for uncollectible accounts, and provision for depreciation. Profit or loss
is determined in the usual manner, that is, by matching periodic income and expenses.
However, special problems are encountered in accounting for partnership operations. These
problems include:
1.

Closing entries of a partnership

CLOSING ENTRIES OF A PARTNERSHIP
The procedures for the preparation of closing entries for a partnership are similar to that of a sole
proprietorship. First, all revenue and other nominal accounts with credit balances (such as
Purchases Discounts and Purchases Returns and Allowances) are debited and Income Summary
is credited. Second, Income Summary is debited and all expense and other nominal accounts
with debit balances (such as Sales Discounts and Sales Returns and Allowances) are credited.
Third, the balance of the Income Summary account, which represents profit or loss of the
partnership, is transferred either to the drawing accounts or directly to the capital accounts of the
partners. Finally, the balance of the drawing account of each partner is transferred to his/her
capital account.
The balance of the Income Summary account is transferred to the drawing accounts of the
partners if the partners’ intention is to keep the capital account intact for investments and
permanent withdrawals of capital. A credit balance in the Income Summary account represents a
profit and its balance is transferred to the drawing accounts of the partners based on their profit
and loss sharing ratio. The entry is as follows:
Income Summary
A, Drawing
B, Drawing
xxx
xxx
xxx
Any resulting credit balance in the drawing account of a partner may be withdrawn by the
partner or reinvested into the firm. If the balance in the drawing account is withdrawn in cash,
the entry is as follows:
A, Drawing
Cash
xxx
xxx
Chapter 3—Partnership Operations
92
However if the partner decides to reinvest into the firm this balance in his drawing account, the
entry is as follows:
A, Drawing
A, Capital
xxx
xxx
A debit balance in the Income Summary account represents a loss and its balance is transferred
to the drawing accounts of the partners based on their profit and loss sharing ratio. The entry is
as follows:
A, Drawing
B, Drawing
Income Summary
xxx
xxx
xxx
The resulting debit balance in the drawing account of a partner is charged against his capital with
the following entry:
A, Capital
A, Drawing
xxx
xxx
On the other hand, the balance of the Income Summary account may be transferred directly to
the capital accounts of the partners if the partners' intention is to make the profit or loss a part of
permanent capital. It should be noted, however, that either treatment will result to the same net
effect on partners' ending capital balances. All illustrations in this chapter pertaining to
distribution of profit or loss are recorded directly to the capital accounts with the assumption that
partners intend to make their respective share on the profit or loss as a direct part of their
permanent capital.
A credit balance in the Income Summary account represents a profit and its balance is transferred
to the capital accounts of the partners based on their profit and loss sharing ratio. The entry is as

DISTRIBUTION OF PROFITS AND LOSSES
To make distribution of partnership profits and losses equitable, the following factors are
considered:
1.
2.
3.
Services rendered by the partners to the partnership
Amount of capital contributed by the partners to the business
Entrepreneurial ability or managerial skill of the partners
The distribution or division of profits and losses may be expressed in several ways as follows:
1. by percentage
2. by fraction
3. by decimal
4. by ratio
Illustration: Alba and Bueno are partners sharing profits and losses based on their capital
contributions of P100,000 and P300,000, respectively. Their profit and loss sharing can be
expressed as follows:
1.
By percentage
Alba
Bueno
25% (P 100,000 / P400.000)
75% (P300,000 / P400.000)
2.

RULES FOR DIVIDING PROFITS AND LOSSES
The following is the list of rules in the division of profits and losses of the partnership based on
the provisions of the New Civil Code:
1.
As to Capitalist Partners
a.
Division of profits
1.
in accordance with agreement
2.
in the absence of an agreement, division of profits is in accordance with
capital contributions
Chapter 3—Partnership Operations
b.
Division of Losses
1.
in accordance with agreement
94
2.
3.
2.
if only division of profits is agreed upon, the division of losses will be the
same as the agreement on the division of profits
in the absence of an agreement, division of losses is in accordance with capital
contributions
As to Industrial Partners
a.
Division of profits
1. in accordance with agreement
2. in the absence of an agreement, the industrial partner shall receive a just and
equitable share of the profits and the capitalist partners shall receive profits in
accordance with their capital contributions
b.
Division of losses
1. in accordance with agreement
2. in the absence of an agreement, the capitalist-industrial partner in his/her
character as industrial partner shall have no share in the losses, but in his/her
character as a capitalist partner will share in proportion to the capital
contribution
Profits and losses in general shall be divided in accordance with the agreement among the
partners. In the absence of an agreement, the partners shall share in the profits in proportion to
their capital contributions after satisfying the share of the industrial partner on such profit.
METHODS OF DISTRIBUTING PROFITS BASED ON
PARTNERS’ AGREEMENT
1.
Equally - it is simple to apply but does not give due recognition on the disparity of capital
contribution nor does it recognize the time and effort that a partner may devote in running
the firm's business operations.
2.
Arbitrary ratio (Percentage, Decimal, Fraction, Ratio) - it is simple to apply but does
not give recognition on the disparity of capital contributions nor does it recognize the
time and effort that a partner may devote in running the firm's business operations.
3.
Capital ratio (Original, Beginning, Ending, Average) - this method e differences in the
capital contributions but does not take into account the time and effort that a partner may
devote in running the firm's business operations.
4.
Interest on capital and the balance on agreed ratio - this method recognizes the
differences in the capital contributions but does not take into account the time and effort
that a partner may devote in running the firm's business operations.
Chapter 3—Partnership Operations
Interest is allowed to partners for the use of invested capital. Interest as agreed by the
partners shall be allowed in proportion over the period such capital was actually used.
95
Moreover, the interest shall be provided whether the profit is sufficient or insufficient or
there is a net loss unless otherwise agreed upon by the partners.
5.
Salary allowances to partners and the balance on agreed ratio – this method recognizes
the time and effort that a partner may devote in running the firm’s business operations but
does not take into consideration the differences in capital contributions.
Salaries are allowed to partners as compensation for their time devoted in the business.
Salaries as agreed by the partners shall be allowed in proportion to the time the partners
actually rendered services to the firm. Such salaries shall be provided whether the profit
is sufficient or insufficient or there is net a loss unless otherwise agreed upon by the
partners.
6.
Bonus to managing partner and the balance on agreed ratio - this method allows a
bonus, as an incentive, to the managing partner. It is usually a percentage of the profit.
Bonus, therefore, is allowed only when there is a profit. It may be computed using any
one of the following as basis:
a.
Bonus is based on profit before deducting bonus and income tax
b.
Bonus is based on profit after deducting bonus but before deducting income tax
c.
Bonus is based on profit after deducting income tax but before deducting bonus
d. Bonus is based on profit after deducting both bonus and income tax.
7.
Interest on capital, salaries to partners, bonus to managing partner, and the balance
on agreed ratio.

Key Points. Withdrawals deducted for purposes of determining ending capital balances are the
debit entries in the capital accounts of each of the partners (see partners' accounts shown in the
previous page)These debit entries represent permanent withdrawals or decreases on capital. The
credit entries represent initial and/or additional investments.
On the other hand, the debits to the drawing accounts represent temporary withdrawals or
decreases in capital caused by the share in loss (though may be debited directly to the capital
account) or withdrawal of assets in anticipation of profits. The credit entries represent increases
in capital (may be credited directly to the capital account) caused by the share in profit. The
entries in drawing accounts are not considered in computing ending capital for the purpose of
establishing the ratio.

Average captial ratio is a methiod of divided profit based on the amount of capital invested and
the time during which such capital is actually used in the business.
The following steps are to be followed in determining the average capital of each partner using
the peso month method, thus, arriving at the capital ratio:
1. Multiply beginning capital by the number of months that it remained unchanged.
2.Determine each new capital balance in chronological order and multiply by the number of
months it remained unchanged.
3. Add the products which represent peso months and divide the total by twelve (12) to obtain
the average monthly capital.
By the following steps given, the average capital of each partners can be calculated as follows:

Cases 1 to 7 provide for division of profits using a single allocation procedure. However, there
are instances when the partnership agreement may provide for a combination of several
allocation procedures (multiple bases of profit allocation) to be used in the distribution of profit.
Since partnerships specify a profit distribution to be followed to whatever extent possible, most
agreements specify that the entire process is to be completed and any remainder is to be allocated
in the profit and loss ratio. The following cases are used to illustrate various multiple allocation
procedures.

The sum of the salary allowance and interest allowed on the average capital of the partners
exceeded the profit of 600,000 resulting in a negative remainder (loss or deficit). Such loss is
distributed as provided in the profit and loss sharing agreement
Case 12 – Assume the same agreement as in Case 11 except that instead of a profit the
partnership has incurred a loss of P160,000. The allowance for salaries and interest will still
be provided, thereby resulting in a total loss to be divided as agreed.

The allocation of partnership profit follows the order of the profit sharing agreement in
allocating the bonus, the salary allowances, the interests and the remainder to individual
partners.
The bonus is computed on the basis of the partnership profit as the concept of "partnership
profit" is generally understood in accounting practice.1 Partners may, however, intend for salary
and interest allowances to be deducted in determining the base for computing the bonus. In such
case, no bonus is allowed if there is insufficient profit after distribution of salaries and interests.
The interests of the partners may not be apparent when technical accounting terms are used; so,
the partnership agreement should be precise in specifying measurement procedures to be used in
determining the amount of a bonus.
Illustrations on the computation of bonus using other assumptions.,The same data is Illustrative

= .20B (857,143-257,143)
T
= .30 x P857, 143
= P257, 143
Substituting for T in the first equation and solving for B
B
= .20(P857, 143 – B – T)
B
= .20 x P600, 000
B
= P120, 000
Key Points. The bonus was not deducted from the profit subject to income tax. The bonus being
computed is not an expense but a distribution of profit after income tax.
1. Bonus is based on profit after deducting bonus and income tax
B
= .20(P857, 143 – B – T)
T
= .30 x P857, 143
= P257, 143
Substituting for T in the first equation and solving for B
B
= .20B (857,143- B - 257,143)
B
= .20 (P600, 000 – B)
B
= P120, 000 - .20B
B + .20B
= P120, 000
B
= P120, 000/1.20
B
= P100, 000
Key Points. In the preceding examples, bonus is treated as a distribution of partnership profit,
and therefore such bonus is not deductible as an expense in determining the amount of taxable
profit. The same is true for salaries and interest allowed on capital.
The partnership form of business allows a wide selection of profit distribution ratios to meet the
individual desires of the partners. Ratios for profit distributions may be based on the percentage
of total partnership capital, time and effort invested in the partnership, or a variety of other
factors. Some partnerships, however, have a profit sharing ratio that is different from their loss
sharing ratio.
103
ORDER OF PRIORITY PROVISION
In some instances, the partners may agree not to use residual sharing ratio in the event profits did
not exceed the total of the salary and interests allowances. In this case, the partners must agree
on the priority of the various features. If the partnership agreement gives salary allowances
priority over interest on capital balances, then profit would first apply to salaries and the balances
would be divided in the ratio of interest allowance and vice-versa.
Illustrative Problem B: Santos and Tomas are partners with capital balances P315.000 and
P180, 000, respectively. The profit and loss agreement provides salaries of P500, 000 to Santos
and P250, 000 to Tomas, 10% interest on capital and the balance will be divided equally. Income
is to be allocated by first giving priority to interest on invested capital and then on salary
allowance. Partnership net income for the year is P600.000.
The following is the division of the P600, 000 profit in accordance with the order of priority
provision.

SPECIAL PROFIT ALLOCATION METHODS
Some partnerships distribute profits on the basis of other criteria. For example, most public
accounting firms distribute profits on the basis of partnership units. A new partner requires a
certain number of units and additional units are assigned by a firm wide compensation committee
based on:



obtaining new clients;
providing the firm with specific areas of industrial expertise;
serving as a managing partner of a local office; or
104
 accepting a variety of other responsibilities
Other partner devise profit distribution plans that reflect the earnings of the partnership. For
example some medical or dental firms allocate profits on the basis of billed services. Other
criteria may include number or size of clients, years of service within the firm, or the partner’s
position within the firm.
PREPARATON OF WORK SHEET
At the end of each accounting period the partnership books are adjusted and closed and financial
statement are prepared. In order to classify a accounting data in a convenient and orderly manner
and to facilitate the preparation of financial statement, a worksheet is prepared. The form or
columns of the worksheet may vary depending on the needs of the company. The following
illustrative problem will use the simplest form of worksheet with emphasis not on the form but
the underlying principles and procedures in preparing such worksheet.

CORRECTIONS IN PROFIT FOR ERRORS
AND OMISSIONS PRIOR TO DISTRIBUTION
The partnership books may show an incorrect profit because of errors and omissions. Such
include failure to record prepaid expenses, accrued expenses, accrued income, unearned income
and also overstatement or understatement in purchases, inventories, and depreciation. The
reported profit should be corrected before it is distributed to the partners. The required
corrections may be summarized as follows:
1. Unrecorded prepaid expenses
2. Unrecorded accrued expenses
3. Unrecorded accrued income
4. Unrecorded unearned income
5. Overstatement of inventories
6. Understatement of Inventories
7. Overstatement of purchases
8. Understatement of purchases
9. Overstatement of depreciation
10. Understatement of depreciation

Illustrative Problem D: Hannah, Ines, and Julian are partners sharing profit on a 2:3:5 ratio. On
January 1, 2014, Karina was admitted into the partnership with a 20% share in profits. The old
partners shall continue to participate in profits in proportion to their original ratios.
For the year 2014, the partnership books showed a profit of P 398,000. It was ascertained,
however, that the following error were made:
1. Accrued expenses not recorded at the end of 2013
2. Overstatement of 2014 ending inventory
3. Goods received and inventoried in 2014 but the related
purchases not recorded
4. Income received in advance (unearned income), not
recorded at the end of 2013

CAPITAL BALANCES RATIO ADJUSTED TO PROFIT
AND LOSS RATIO
While it is unusual that capital ratios do not equal profit and loss ratios; yet, partners may decide
to bring their capital balances into their profit and loss ratio. This can be accomplished through
either of the following:
1. The capital balances are to be brought into the profit and loss ratio by payments
outside of the firm among the partners and where the total firm capital is to remain the
same.
2. The capital balances are to brought into the profit and loss ratio by the lowest possible
additional cash investment in the firm by the partners.
113
3. The capital balances are to be brought into the profit and loss ratio by the lowest possible
additional cash investment or cash withdrawal from the firm by the partners.
Illustrative Problem E: Lopez, Martin and Nunag are partners whose original capital
balances were in profit and loss ratio. On December 31, 2014, capital balances are as follows:
Lopez
Martin

REVIEW of the LEARNING OBJECTIVES
1.
Discuss the closing entries in a partnership and differentiate them from the
closing entries in a sole proprietorship. The closing entries of a partnership are almost similar to
those of a sole proprietorship. However, the profit or loss of the partnership is transferred to the
individual drawing account or capital account of the partners and is distributed according to the
profit and loss sharing agreement.
2.
Identify and discuss the different methods and rules of dividing partnership profits and
losses to partners. The distribution of partnership profits and losses to the partners may be
expressed in any of the following ways: (1) by percentage; (2) by fraction; (3) by decimal; or
(4) by ratio. The Civil Code of the Philippines provides rules on how partnership profits and
losses be divided among the partners. As a general rule, profits or losses should be divided in
accordance with the partners' agreement. In the absences of an agreement, the division shall
be made in accordance with capital contributions. To give recognition to the services
rendered by the partners or to the differences in the amount contributed in the partnership or
to the entrepreneurial ability or managerial skill of the partners, salaries, interest and bonuses
may be allowed to the partners as part of the division of profit and losses.
115
3. Discuss and understand the preparation of financial statements of a partnership. The
financial statements are prepared after the work sheet is completed (or after journalizing and
posting the adjusting entries if a work sheet is not prepared). These financial statements
include the income statement, the statement of financial position, and the statement of
changes in partners' equity. The income statement includes a schedule showing the division
of the partnership profit or loss to the partners. The owners' equity section of the statement of
financial position is called "Partners' Equity" and it shows capital balances of individual
partners. The statement of changes in partners' equity shows the division of profit and loss to
the partners, the amount of withdrawals during the period, and the partners' capital balances
at the end of the period.
GLOSSARY of ACCOUNTING TERMINOLOGIES
Average Capital — the amount of capital invested by a partner determined by the time during
which such capital is actually used in the business.
Bonus — an incentive normally given to the managing partner in recognition of managerial or
entrepreneurial skill or ability. It is usually a percentage of profit.
Interest on capital — incentive given to partners to give recognition to the differences in capital
contributions and is computed in proportion to the period such capital was actually used.
Salary Allowances — compensation given to partners in proportion to the time devoted to the
business.
Statement of Changes in Partners' Equity — a statement showing the division of partnership
profit or loss to the partners, additional investments made by partners, the amount of withdrawals
of individual partners, and the ending capital balances.

DISSCUSSION QUESTIONS
1. What are the procedures followed in closing the books of the partnership at the end of an
accounting period?
2. What are the factors to be considered in adopting a particular plan for sharing profits among
partners?
3. What are the general rules for dividing profits among partners? For dividing losses?
4. Does an industrial partner share in both profits and losses?
5. Why are salary allowances to partners debited to Income Summary instead of Salary Expense?
Is there an instance when such salary allowances are debited to Salary Expense account? If yes,
what is that instance?
6. Pacis, Quezon and Roces share profits and losses based on their capital balances of P250,000,

(a) percentage; (b) fraction; (c) decimal; and (d) ratio.
7. Explain the following terms; (a) original capital; (b) beginning capital; (c) ending capital; and
(4) average capital. How do you determine the amount of each type of capital?
8. When the profit and losses agreement provides for the allowance of interest on partners’
equity and salaries to partners, why are the partners entitled to these allowances even if the
partnership operations result in a loss?
9. Why is it necessary to specify whether the withdrawal made by the partner is a withdrawal

not needed by a partnership because the profit is divided among two or more
partners.
2. If the partners did not agree as to how profits are to be divided, then such
should be divided among the partners equally.
3. The income statement of a partnership differs from that of a single
proprietorship in only one respect: a final section is added to show the division of
the profit between or among partners.
4. Any salaries authorized for partners are regarded as a preliminary step in the
division of profits, not as an expense of the business
5. The statement of changes in partners’ equity takes the place of the capital
statement in a sole proprietorship.
6. All partnerships, just like corporations, are subject to income tax.
7. Bonus is allowed to partners only if there is a partnership profit, since bonus is
based on profit.
8. Unless otherwise agreed, allowance for salaries and interest are allowed to
partners whether there is a profit or a loss; whether the profit is sufficient or
insufficient.

partnership profits or losses.
10. The drawing account of a partner may have a debit or a credit balance.
11. The profit of the partnership is transferred to the drawing accounts of the

partnership profits are treated as partnership expenses.
19. The partnership books may show an incorrect profit because of errors and
omissions that should first be corrected before the profit distribution to the
partners.

PARTNERSHIP DISSOLUTION
Dissolution is defined in Article 1825 of the Civil Code of the Philippines as the change in the
relation of the partners caused by any partner ceasing to be associated in the carrying out of the
business.
Dissolution refers to the termination of the life of an existing partnership. The dissolution of an
old partnership may be followed by:
141
1. The formation of a new partnership. This is known as dissolution by change in
ownership structure. The new partnership continues the business activities of the
dissolved partnership without interruption.
2. Liquidation. This refers to the termination of the business activities carried on the
partnership and the winding up of partnership affairs preparatory to going out of business.
Dissolution, therefore, does not always result to liquidation although liquidation is always
preceded by dissolution
CONDITIONS RESULTING TO PARTNERSHIP DISSOLUTION
The following conditions will result to partnership dissolution by a change in ownership
structure:
1.
Admission of a new partner
2.
Retirement or withdrawal of a partner
3.
Death, incapacity or bankruptcy of a partner
4.
Incorporation of a partnership
Accounting for admission of a new partner is discussed in this chapter. Accounting for
retirement, withdrawal, incapacity or bankruptcy and death of a partner is discussed in the next
chapter
ADMISSION OF A NEW PARTNER
A new partner, with the consent of all the partners, may be admitted in an existing partnership.
Upon admission of a new partner, the firm is automatically dissolved and a new partnership is
formed. All the partners draw a new contract, Articles of Co-Partnership. The admission of a
new partner gives rise to the following accounting problems:
1. Determination of the profit or loss from the beginning of the accounting period to the
date of admission of a new partner and the distribution of such profit or loss to the old
partners.
2. Connection of accounting errors in prior periods like overstatement of understatement of
inventories, excessive depreciation charges and failure to provide adequately for doubtful
accounts.
3. Revaluation of accounts which may call for the restatement of the existing assets of the
partnership to appraised or fair market values and recognition of unrecorded liabilities of
the firm. All adjustments to the accounts give rise to profit or loss; such adjustments are
recorded in the partnership books as increase or decrease in capital shared according to
partners' profit and loss ratio,
4. Closing of the partnership books.
TYPES OF ADMISSION OF A NEW PARTNER
142
A new partner may be admitted into a partnership by:
1. Purchase of interest from one or more of the original (old) partners; or
2. Investment or asset contributions to the partnership
ADMISSION BY PURCHASE
With the consent of all the partners, a new partner may be admitted in an existing partnership by
purchasing a capital equity interest directly from one or more of the old partners. Terms such as
purchases, sells, pays, bought, sold and transferred indicate admission by purchase.
The sale to a new partner of an old partner's interest in an existing partnership is a personal
transaction between the selling partner and the buying partner. The amount paid by the partner
who purchases an interest goes personally to the partner who sells his or her interest; the amount
paid does not go to the partnership.
The only entry required on the partnership books is the recording of the transfer of capital from
the capital account of the selling partner to that of the buying partner. The amount of capital
transferred will be equal to the book value of the interest sold regardless of the amount paid. The
pro-form entry is:
(Name of seller), Capital
(Name of buyer), Capital
xxx
xxx
The purchase price of the interest sold to the new partner may be:
1. equal to the book value of interest sold
2. less than the book value of interest sold
3. more than the book value of interest sold
The new partner may pay more than or less than the book value of the interest sold by the old
partner resulting in a gain or loss in the transaction. This gain or loss, however, is a
personal gain or loss of the selling partner and not of the partnership. Therefore, no gain or loss
is recognized in the partnership books.
Illustrative Problem A: Coloma and Claudio are partners with capital balances of P100,000 and
P50,000, respectively. They share profits and losses equally. Cordero is a new partner.
Case 1a – Purchase at book value from one partner only. Cordero purchases a 1/5 interest
from Coloma by paying P20,000.
Coloma, Capital
Cordero, Capital
P100,000 X 1/5 = P20,000
20,000
20,000
143
The P20,000 paid by the new partner Cordero to the old partner Coloma should not be reflected
in the partnership books because the said amount goes directly to Coloma. What is recorded in
the partnership books is the transfer of 1/5 of the capital of Coloma to Cordero. The amount paid
in the purchase is equal to the book value of the acquired 1/5 interest; hence, the sale of interest
does not give rise to gain or loss to Coloma.
Case 1b – Purchase at book value from more than one partner. Cordero purchases 1/5
interest from the old partners by paying P30,000.
Coloma, Capital
Claudio, Capital
Cordero, Capital
P100,000 X 1/5 = P20,000
P 50,000 X 1/5 = P10,000
20,000
10,000
30,000
The P30,000 paid by Cordero to Coloma and Claudio should not be reflected in the partnership
books because the said amount goes directly to Coloma and Claudio. What is recorded in the
partnership books is the transfer of 1/5 of the capital of the old partners Coloma and Claudio
(P20,000 and P10,000, respectively) to the new partner Cordero. The admission of the new
partner, by purchasing a 1/5 interest from the old partners al book value, does not result in a gain
or loss to the old partners.
Case 2 - Purchase at less than book value. Cordero purchases 1/s interest from the old partners
by paying P25,000
Coloma, Capital
Claudio, Capital
Cordero, Capital
P100,000 X 1/5 = P20,000
P 50,000 X 1/5 = P10,000
20,000
10,000
30,000
144
The P25,000 paid by Cordero to Coloma and Claudio should not be reflected in the partnership
books because the said amount was paid directly to the partners. What is recorded in the
partnership books is the transfer of 1/5 of the capital of the old partners (20,000 and 10,000,
respectively) to the new partner. The difference of 5,000 is a personal loss of the selling (old)
partners.
Case 3 – Purchase at more than book value. Cordero pays P40,000 for a 1/5 interest of the old
partners.
Coloma, Capital
20,000
Claudio, Capital
10,000
Cordero, Capital
30,000
The P40,000 payment made by Cordero to Coloma and Claudio should not be reflected in the
partnership books. What is recorded in the books of the partnership is the transfer of 1/5 of the
capital of the old partners to the new partner. The 10,000 excess payment is a personal gain of
Coloma and Claudio.
Key Points. In the preceding four cases, 1a, 1b, 2, and 3, the transfer of capital from the old
partners to the new partner is recorded at book value regardless of the amount paid. Payment at
less than book value and at more than book value are recorded as if they were made at book
value.
In addition, the four cases show that the total partnership capital before and after the admission
of the new partner are the same. Thus, the total partnership capital of P150,000 before the
admission of Cordero is also the total partnership capital after his admission. Therefore, the
admission of a new partner by purchase will not affect the total assets and the total capital of the
partnership.
ASSET REVALUATION UPON ADMISSION OF A NEW PARTNER BY PURCHASE
Revaluation of assets of the old partnership, however, is generally undertaken prior to the
admission of a new partner. The effect of the asset revaluation is carried to the capital accounts
of the old partners. The adjusted capital of the old partners becomes the basis for the interest
transferred to the new partner.
The procedures under this approach are as follows:
Step 1 – Compute the new partnership capital using as basis the amount to be paid by the
incoming partner and his fraction if interest.
Step 2 – Deduct the capital of the old partnership from the capital of the new partnership. The
difference is the asset revaluation.
Step 3 – Allocate the asset revaluation among the old partners in accordance with their residual
profit and loss sharing agreement.
145
Step 4 – Add the share of each partner on the asset revaluation to their capital balances to get the
capital balances after the asset revaluation.
Step 5 – Compute the amount of interest transferred by the old partners to the new partner based
on their capital after the asset revaluation.
Step 6 – Prepare the entry to record the admission of the new partner.
To illustrate, assume the same data in Illustrative Problem A where Coloma and Claudio are
partners with capital balances of P100,000 and P50,000, respectively. They share profits and
losses equally. Cordero is a new partner who purchases a 1/5 interest from Coloma and Claudio
paying P40,000. However, before the admission of Cordero, partnership assets are to be revalued
using as basis the amount to be paid by Cordero.
Solution:
Step 1 – The new partnership capital is equal to the amount paid by the incoming partner divided
by his fraction of interest.
New partnership capital = 40,000 ÷ 1/5 = P200,000
Step 2 – The amount of asset revaluation is equal to the new partnership capital less old
partnership capital.
Asset revaluation = 200,000 – 150,000 = 50,000
Step 3 – The allocation of the amount of the asset revaluation among the old partner is as
follows: P50,000 / 2 = P25,000 per partner.
Step 4 – The capital balances of the old partners after asset revaluation is equal to their old
capital balances plus their share on asset revaluation.

Step 5 – The amount of interest transferred by the old partners to the new partner is based on the
new capital balances (capital balances after asset revaluation).

ADMISSION BY INVESTMENT
The admission of a new partner by investment is a transaction between the original partnership
and the new partner. The use of the terms like invests and contributes represent admission of a
new partner by investment. The investment of the new partner increases the total assets and the
total capital of the partnership. The entry to record the admission of the new partner depends
upon the capital interest credited to the partners’ accounts.
DEFINITION OF TERMS
Agreed Capital (AC) - it is the amount of new capital set by the partners for the partnership. It
may be equal to, more than, or less than the total contributions of the partners. Other terms used
for agreed capital are: new firm capital, total capital and agreed capitalization. The terms of the
admission of a new partner may indicate the agreed capital. If agreed capital is not indicated, it
can be computed in either of two ways:
1. Investment of the new partner divided by the new partner's fraction of interest; or
2. Investment of the old partners (equal to the net assets or capital of the partnership) divided by
the old partners' fraction of interest.
Example: Corpus and Carlos are partners with capital balances of P150,000 each. Cabral invests
P100,000 for a 2/5 interest in the new partnership. The agreed capital of the new partnership is
determined as follows:
Computation 1 - The new partner's investment used as a basis
P100,000 ÷ 2/5 = P250,000
Computation 2 - The old partners' investment used as a basis
P300,000 ÷ 3/5 = P500,000
147
Total Contributed Capital (CC) – it is the investment of all the partners, both old and new, to
the partnership. It is the sum of the capital balances of the old partners (net asset investment) and
the contribution of the new partner.
Using the information in the example given, the total contributed capital is P400,000, the sum of
the old partners' contribution of P300,000 and the new partner's contribution of P100,000.
Bonus – it is the transfer of capital from one partner to another. A bonus to the old partners is
given by the new partner. It is a reduction in the capital of the new partner and an increase in the
capital of the old partners. The capital accounts of the old partners are credited according to their
profit and loss ratio. A bonus to the new partner is given by the old partners. It is a reduction in
the capital of the old partners and an increase in the capital of the new partner. The capital
accounts of the old partners are debited according to their profit and loss ratio.
The following procedures will be helpful in the computation and determination of the ownership
of bonus:
1. Multiply agreed capital (AC) by the fraction of interest of the new partner. The result is the
capital credit of the new partner in the new partnership.
2. Compare the capital credit with the investment of the new partner.
a. If the capital credit is more than the investment of the new partner, the difference is
bonus to the new partner.
b. If the capital credit is less than the investment of the new partner, the difference is
bonus to the old partners.
Asset Revaluation - necessary adjustment in asset values upon admission of a new partner. The
adjustment in assets may be determined as the difference between the agreed capital and the total
contributed capital. Generally, asset revaluations upon partnership formation relate only to the
partners of the old partnership.
Capital Credit- it is the interest or equity of a partner in the firm. It is computed by multiplying
agreed capital by the fraction of interest of a partner.
PROBLEMS RELATING TO ADMISSION OF A NEW PARTNER BY INVESTMENT
Situations relating to admission of a new partner by investment may fall under any of the
following:
148
1. Agreed capital is given. When agreed capital is given, the admission of a new partner by
investment will give rise to any of the following cases:
a. No Bonus, no Asset Revaluation
b. Bonus to old partners, no Asset Revaluation
c. Bonus to new partner, no Asset Revaluation
d. Asset Revaluation, no Bonus
2. Agreed capital is not given. When agreed capital is not given, the problem calls for two
alternative solutions.
a. Bonus method
b. Asset revaluation method
3. Agreed capital is not given but the basis for its computation is indicated in the terms of
admission.
4. The amount of contribution of the new partner is not given.
5. No fraction of interest for either the new or old partners is given.
The following are the illustrations of the various problems involving admission of a new partner
by investment.

154
AGREED CAPITAL IS NOT GIVEN
There are cases when the contributions and the fraction of interest of the new partner are given,
but the agreed capitalization of the new firm is not specified. When such a situation exists, the
admission of the new partner is recorded using any of these two methods:
1. Bonus method
2. Asset Revaluation method
BONUS METHOD (AC = CC)
Under this method, the agreed capitalization of the new partnership is equal to the total amount
of contribution of all the partners, both old and new. No asset revaluation is recognized but there
will be transfer of capital called bonus. Bonus to the new partner is given by the old partner.
Bonus to the old partners comes from the new partner.
ASSET REVALUATION METHOD
An asset revaluation is made to properly value the assets of the partnership prior to admission of
a new partner. An asset revaluation will result either an increase or decrease in the recorded
amount of the partnership's assets and the partners' capital. An asset revaluation increase
(positive asset revaluation) indicates that some partnership assets are undervalued. On the other
hand, an asset revaluation decrease (negative asset revaluation) indicates that some partnership
asset is overvalued. Under the asset revaluation method, the balances of partnership's asset and
partner's capital must be adjusted prior to the admission of a new partner. These adjustments
must be recorded prior to admission of the new partner.
POSITIVE ASSET REVALUATION METHOD (AC > CC)
A positive revaluation increases the old partnership assets and the capital accounts of the old
partners. The increase is shared by the old partners based on their profit and loss ratio. Here the
agreed capitalization of the new partnership is more than the total amount of contributions of
both the old and new partners.
Under this method, the agreed capitalization is computed as follows:
AC = New partner's CC ÷ new partner's fraction of interest
NEGATIVE ASSET REVALUATION METHOD (AC < CC )
A negative revaluation decreases the old partnership assets and the capital accounts of the old
partners. The decrease is shared by the old partners based on their profit and loss ratio. Here, the
agreed capitalization of the new partnership is less than the total amount of distribution of both
the old and new partners.
155
The agreed capitalization is computed under this method in the same manner as in positive asset
revaluation.
Illustrative Problem C: Conde invests P100,000 for a 1/5 interest in the partnership of Calma
and Castro. The contributions of Calma and Castro are P200,000 and P100,000 respectively, and
they share profits and losses in the ratio of 3:1. After the admission of Conde, profits and losses
will be divided equally.

The agreed capital of the partnership is equal to the capital contribution. The capital credit of the
old and new partners is computed as follows:
New = P400,000 x 1/5 = P80,000
Old = P400,000 x 4/5 = P320,000
The capital credit for the new partner is less than his capital contribution, therefore, the new
partner gives the bonus. The bonus is shared by the old partners according to their profit and loss
ratio.

The agreed capital of the new partnership is computed by dividing the new partner's contribution
by his fraction of interest (100,000 ÷ 1/5 = 500,000).
An agreed capital of more than the contributed capital indicates that there is an understatement in
the some assets of the partnership upon admission of the new partner. The agreed capital of
156
P500,000 when compared with the contributed capital of P400,000 indicates a P100,000 increase
on asset and capital for the asset understatement. The AC or the capital credit of the old partners
which is P400,000 (500,000 x 4/5) is P100,000 more than their contributed capital. Therefore the
old partners are credited for the revaluation of assets. The old partners share on the revaluation
according to their profit and loss ratio.
Illustrative Problem D: Conde invests P80,000 for a 1/4 interest in the partnership of Calma
and Castro. The contributions of Calma and Castro are P200,000 and P100,000 respectively and
they share profits and losses in the ratio of 3:1. After the admission of Conde, profits and losses
will be divided equally.

The agreed capital of the partnership is equal to the capital contribution. The capital
contributions of the old and new partners are computed as follows:
New 380,000 x 1/4 = 95,000
Old 380,000 x 3/4 = 285,000
The capital credit of the new partner is greater than his capital contribution, therefore, he
receives a bonus. The bonus is shared by the old partners according to their profit and loss ratio.

The agreed capital of the new partnership is computed by dividing the new partner's capital
contribution by his fraction of interest (80,000 ÷ 1/4 = P320,000).
An agreed capital that is less than the contributed capital indicates that there is an overstatement
in some assets of the partnership upon the admission of a new partner. The agreed capital of
P320,000 when compared with the contributed capital of P380,000 indicates a P60,000 reduction
in assets and capital for the asset overstatement. The AC or capital credit of the old partners
which is P240,000 (P320,000 x 3/4) is 60,000 less than their contributed capital. Therefore, the
old partners are charged for the revaluation of assets. The old partners share on the revaluation of
assets according to their profit and loss ratio.
COMPARISON OF BONUS AND ASSET REVALUATION METHOD
In Illustrative Problem C, Conde is given 1/5 interest in the partnership and a 1/3 share of profits
upon admission. Both the bonus method and the asset revaluation method can be used in
determining the required interest for the new partner, but the two methods may not offer the
same ultimate results. Based on the information and assumptions given, the comparison between
the bonus method and the asset revaluation method may be illustrated as shown below.

The agreed capital is not given but the basis for its computation is indicated In the problem. The
new partner is to be credited for P50,000 which is 1/8 of the new firm capital. Thus, 50,000 ÷ 1/8
= P800,000 agreed capital. The agreed capital (400,000) is equal to the total contributed capital,
therefore, there is no asset revaluation. But there might be bonus. The capital credit of the new
partner is less than his contribution, therefore he gives the bonus. The bonus is share by the old
partners in ther profit and loss ratio.
THE AMOUNT OF CONTRIBUTION OF THE NEW PARTNER IS NOT GIVEN
Example 1: Calma and Castro have capital balances of P200,000 and P100,000 respectively.
They share profits and losses in the rario 3:1. Conde invests sufficient amount for a 1/3 interest.
The journal entry to record the admission of Conde follows:
Cash
150,000
Conde, Capital
150,000
Solution:
Computations similar to those who made in the previous cases are no longer necessary.
To arrive at the amount contributed by the new partner,
1. the new firm capital (AC) is computed by dividing the old partners’ contribution by
their fraction of interest (300,000 ÷ 2/3) = P450,000, and
2. the investment of the new partner is computed by multiplying AC by his fraction f
interest (P450,000 x 1/3 = P150,000). Conde has to invest P150,000 in order to have
1/3 interest in the firm.
Example 2: Coral, Cielo and Camu are partners with capital balances of P112,000, P130,000,
and 58,000, respectively, sharing profits and losses equally. Cuevas is admitted as a new partner
bringing with him his expertise and good reputation. He is to invest cash for a 25% interest in the
assets of the partnership which includes a credit of P18,750 for bonus upon admission.
The journal entry to record the admission of the new partner is as follows:
Cash
Coral, Capital
Cielo, Capital
Camu, Capital
Cuevas, Capital
75,000
6,250
6,250
6,250
93,750
159
Solution:
Follow the same procedure as in Example 1. The P18,750 bonus given by the old partners to the
new partner has to be deducted frm the total capital of the old partners to get their 75% interest.
Thus:
P112,000 + P130,000 + P58,000 – P18,750 = P281,250\
P281,000 / 75% = P375,000).
The amount to be contributed by the new partner is computed by deducting the P18,750 bonus
received from the old partners from the 25% interest acquired from the old partners. Thus:
P375,000 x 25% = P93,750
P93,750 – P18,750 = P75,000
FRACTION OF INTEREST IS NOT GIVEN
Conde invests P50,000 in the firm. However, upon his admission P10,000
bonus is allowed by the old partners.

REVIEW of the LEARNING OBJECTIVES
1. Define partnership dissolution and identify the conditions giving rise to it. Partnership
dissolution is the change in the relation of partners caused by any partner ceasing to be
associated in the carrying out of the business. Dissolution of a partnership may be caused
by any of the following conditions: (1) admission of a new partner; (2) retirement or
withdrawal of a partner; (3) death, incapacity, bankruptcy of a partner; and (4)
incorporation of a partnership.
2. Understand the accounting procedures to record the admission of a new partner by
purchase. A new partner may be admitted into the partnership by purchasing a capital
equity interest from one or more of the old partners. Admission of new partner by
purchase represents a transfer of capital from old partner/partners to the new partners.
The transfer of capital is recorded at the book value of the interest sold regardless of the
amount paid for the interest. Any gain or loss indicated in the transaction is a personal
gain or loss of the selling partner. Asset revaluation, however, may be undertaken by the
old partnership before admission of a new partner. In such case, a positive or negative
asset revaluation will always accrue to the old partners.
160
3. Understand the accounting procedures to record the admission of a new partner by
investment. The admission of a new partner by investment is a transaction between the
original partnership and the new partner. The new partner’s contribution increases the
total assets and the total capital of the partnership. When the capital contribution of the
new partner is not equal to his capital credit in the new partnership or when the capital
contributions of the old partner is not equal to their capital credit in the new partnership.,
the difference is announce for and by any of the following methods: (1) bonus method
(bonus to the old partners from the new partner or bonus to the new partner from the old
partners); (2) asset revaluation method either positive or negative revaluation.
161
GLOSSARY OF ACCOUNTING TEMINOLOGIES
Agreed Capital – the amount set by the partners as new partnership capital which may
not necessarily contributed capital.
Asset Revaluation – the necessary adjustment in assets before the admission of a new
partner because of some partnership assets which may not be properly valued.
Bonus – the transfer of capital from one partner to another partner.
Contributed Capital – the sum the net assets (capital of the old partners) of the original
partnership and the contribution of the new partner.
Partnership Dissolution – a change in the relation of the partners caused by any
partnerceasing to be associated in the carrying out of the business.

CHANGE IN CAPITAL STRUCTURE BY WITHDRAWAL OR RETIREMENT OF A
PARTNER
The partnership may allow any of its partners to withdraw or retire from the firm. The business
may continue after such withdrawals; on the other hand, the interest of the retiring or
withdrawing partners may be:
1. Sold to a new partner (outsider)
2. Sold to the continuing (remaining) partners
3. Sold to the partnership
SALE OF INTEREST TO A NEW PARTNER
With the consent of the remaining partners, the retiring partner may sell his interest to an
outsider. The sale is recorded in the same manner as in the admission of a new partner by
purchase. The partnership recognizes only the transfed of capital interest from the retiring partner
to the new partner. Any gain or loss form the sale is a personal gain or loss of the retiring partner.
SALE OF INTEREST TO CONTINUING PARTNERS
The interest of the retiring partner ay be acquired by any of the continuing partners. The
transaction is recorded in the same manner as the sale of interest to a new partner. The
partnership recognizes only the transfer of capital interest from the retiring partner to the
acquiring partner or partners.
SALE OF INTEREST TO THE PARTNERSHIP
A retiring partner may sell his capital interest to the continuing partners through the partnership.
The partnership has the obligation to make payment to the retiring partner either by:
1. payment in cash;
2. transfer of noncash assets: or
3. recognition of a liability for the full or the balance of the unpaid interest of the retiring
partner.
The purchase price or amount of settlement by the partnership to the retiring partner may be:
1. equal to the interest of the retiring partner (at book value)
2. less than the interest of the retiring partner (at less than book value)
3. more than the interest of the retiring partner (at more than book value)
188
When the payment to the retiring partner is less than or more than his capital interest, the
difference between the purchase price and the capital interest may be accounted for using:
1. bonus method
2. asset revaluation method
ACCOUNTING PROBLEMS INVOLVED IN THE
RETIREMENT OF A PARTNER
The interest in the partnership of a retiring partner must be established upon his retirement. A
partner’s interest in the partnership is affected by his investments, withdrawals, share on
partnership profit or losses, loans to the partnership and loan from the partnership. Following are
the accounting problems involved in determining the capital interest of a retiring partner:
1. Determination if the profit or loss from the beginning of the accounting period to the date of
withdrawal or retirement and the distribution of such profit or loss.
2. Closing of the partnership books.
3. Correction of accounting errors in prior periods like overstatement or understatement of
inventories, excessive depreciation charges and failure to provide adequately for doubtful
accounts.
4. Revaluation of partnership assets to current values.
5. Recording of bonus brought about by the retirement of a partner.
6. Settlement of the interest of the retiring partner.
CALCULATION OF RETIRING PARTNER’S INTEREST
The interest of a retiring partner must be established upon retirement, as mentiones earlier. The
following are considered in the determination of such interest: investments, withdrawals, share in
profit and losses to the date of retirement, loan, advances and the revaluation of partnership
assets to current values.
189
The following schedule will be helpful in determining the interest of a retiring partner:
Investments
- Withdrawals
+ Share in partnership profit to date of retirement or
- Share in partnership losses to date of retirement
+ Loans and advances to the partnership or
- Loans and advances from the partnership
+ Revaluation of assets increasing their recorded values or
- Revaluation of assets decreasing their recorded values

The partners share profits and losses in the ratio of 4:2:4. On July 1, 2015, Diaz asked to be
allowed to withdraw from the partnership. The partners decided to close the books as of this date
so as to determine tha capital interest of Diaz. Profit for the six months ended amounted P60,000
while drawings of Dy, David and Diaz amount to P4,000, P6,000 and P2,000, respectively.
Profits and losses are to be shared equally after the retirement of Diaz.
The following entries will be prepared prior to the retirement of Diaz from the partnership:

The entries to record the retirement of Diaz using several assumptions are illustrated below and
on the succeeding pages.
Assumption 1 – Sale of interest to a new partner. Diaz sold his interest to Duque for
P100,000.
Diaz, Capital
Duque, Capital
82,000
82,000
The gain of P18,000 (P100,000 – P82,000) is a personal gain of Diaz since the sale of the interest
to an outsider is a personal transaction between the buying partner and Diaz.
Assumption 2 – Sale of interest to the continuing partners. Diaz sold his interest to Dy and
David for P75,000; the interest being divided equally by the remaining partners. Profits and
losses after the retirement of Diaz will be divided equally.
Diaz, Capital
Dy, Capital
David, Capital
82,000
41,000
41,000
The loss of P7,000 (P75,000 – P82,000) is a personal loss of Diaz since the sale of the interest to
Dy and David is a personal transaction among the partners.
Assumption 3- Sale of interest to the partnership. Diaz sold his interest to the partnership. The
partners agreed to make immediate cash settlement to the retiring partner. Profits and losses after
the retirement of Diaz will be divided equally.
Case A – Settlement to retiring partner is equal to his capital interest. The partnership
paid Diaz P82,000.
Diaz, Capital
Cash
82,000
82,000
This settlement involves no bonus nor asset revaluation.
191
Case B – Settlement is less than the capital interest of the retiring partner (at less than
book value). The partnership paid Diaz P76,000 which is P6,000 less than his capital
interest of P82,000.
The difference between the amount of payment and capital interest of Diaz may now be
considered as:
1.
2.
Bonus to the remaining partners (Bonus Method)
Asset Revaluation reducing the capital accounts of all the partners
(Asset Revaluation Method)
The entries to record the retirement of Diaz using the two alternative solutions follow:
Bonus Method
Diaz, Capital
Cash
Dy, Capital
David, Capital
P6,000 x 4/6 = P4,000
P6,000 x 2/6 = P2,000
82,000
76,000

The bonus of P6,000 is shared by the remaining partners in accordance with their original profit
and loss ration of 4:2
Asset Revaluation Method
Dy, Capital
David, Capital
Diaz, Capital
Other Assets
6,000
3,000
6,000
15,000
The difference of P6,000 is only a portion of the asset revaluation. The total amount of asset
revaluation is calculated by dividing the difference of P6,000 by the retiring partner’s fraction of
interest or P6,000 ÷ 4/10 = P15,000. Thus, the reduction from the capital balances of the partners
will be computed as follows:
Dy
= P15,000 x 4/10 = P6,000
David = P15,000 x 2/10 = P3,000
Diaz = P15,000 x 4/10 = P6,000
192
After the preceding entry, the capital balance of Diaz is 76,000 and payment to him will be
recorded as follows:
Diaz, Capital
Cash
76,000

A compound entry may be made as follows:

76,000
15,000
Case C – Settlement is more than the capital interest of the retiring partner ( at more than
book value). The partnership paid Diaz P85,000 which is P3,000 more than his capital interest of
P82,000.
The difference between the amount of payment and the capital interest of Diaz may now be
considered as:
1.
Bonus from the remaining partners ( Bonus Method)
2.
Asset Revaluation reducing the capital accounts of all the partners
(Asset Revaluation Method)
The entries to record the retirement of Diaz using the two alternative solutions follow:
Bonus Method

The difference of P3,000 is only a portion of the asset revaluation of the partnership. The total
amount of asset revaluation is calculated by dividing the difference of P3,000 by the retiring
partner’s fraction of interest or P3,000 ÷ 4/10 = P7,5000. This, the increase in the capital
balances of the partners will be computed as follows:
Dy
=P7,500 x 4/10 = P3,000
David =P7,500 x 2/10 = P1,500
Diaz = P7,500 x 4/10 = P3.000
After the entry recording the asset revaluation, the capital balance of Diaz is P85,000 and
payment to him will be recorded as follows:

COMPARISON BETWEEN the BONUS AND ASSET REVALUATION METHOD
The two methods discussed may offer different results as to capital balances of the remaining
partners because of the effect on depreciation of the asset revaluation.
To illustrate the effects of the bonus and asset revaluation method, we will use the information
under Assumption 3 – Case C, i.e., the payment to the retiring partners is more than his capita
interest. The schedule below shows the comparison between the bonus and the asset revaluation
method:

bonus method

CHANGE IN CAPITAL STRUCTURE BY DEATH OR INCAPACITY OF A PARTNER
The death or incapacity of a partner legally dissolves the old partnership since the partner ceases
to be associated in the carrying on of the business. The remaining partners may continue
operations based on a new contract or Articles of Co-Partnership. The interest of the deceased or
incapacitated partner must be determined by the partnership In order to make necessary
settlement with his legal representatives. In case the business is continued without immediate
settlement, the legal representative of the deceased is considered as an ordinary creditor and is to
receive an amount equal to the interest and profits attributable to this interest.
The following accounting problems are encountered in case of death or incapacity of a partner:
1. Determination of the profit or loss from the beginning of the accounting period to the
date of death or incapacity and the distribution of such profit or loss.
2. Closing of the books of the partnership. Partnership agreement, however, may provid3
that the books need not be closed and net income for the fraction of the accounting period
to the date of death or incapacity be determined.
3. Correction of prior year’s if there is any.
4. Revaluation of partnership assets to arrive at current values.
5. Recording of bonus.
6. Settlement of the interest of the deceased or incapacitated partner.
The above problems are similar to those of withdrawal or retirement of a partner. Thus,
accounting for settlement to the deceased or incapacitated partner is the same as that of
withdrawal or retirement.
REVIEW OF THE LEARNING OBJECTIVES
1. Discuss and understand the accounting procedures in recording the retirement or
withdrawal of a partner by sale of interest to a new partner or to the continuing or
remaining partners. A retiring partner may sell his interest to a new partner or to the
remaining partners. The sale of interestis a personal transaction between or among the
partners and any indicated gain or loss is a personal gain or loss of the retiring partner.
However, before recording the sale, the capital interest of the retiring partner should be
updated. The sale is then recorded by transferring the capital interest of the retiring
partner to the acquiring partner.
195
2. Discuss and understand the accounting procedure in recording the retirement or
withdrawal of a partner by sale of interest to the partnership. The retiring partner may sell
his capital interest to the partnership, which then pays the former either in cash or in the form of
noncash assets. The capital interest of the retiring partner should be established on the date of his
retirement. The partnership may pay him an amount that is equal to his capital interest, at more
than his capital interest, or at less than his capital interest. When the payment is not equal to his
capital interest, the difference may be accounted under any of the following methods: (1) bonus
method (either to the retiring partner or to the remaining partners); or (2) asset revaluation
accruing to all the partners.
3. Discuss and understand the accounting procedures in recording the dissolution of a
partnership due to death or incapacity of a partner. The dissolution of a partnership due to
death or incapacity of a partner is accounted for in almost the same manner as is the retirement of
a partner. Thus, the capital interest of the partner up to date of his incapacity or death should be
established. Settlement is then made to the heirs of the partner or to the legal representatives at
an amount that may be equal to the partner’s capital interest, at more than the capital interest, or
at less than the capital interest. When the settlement is not equal to the deceased or incapacitated
partner’s capital interest, the difference is accounted for under any of the following methods: (1)
bonus method; or (2) asset revaluation method.
GLOSSARY of ACCOUNTING TERMINOLOGIES
Bonus method - a case in retirement or death of a partner wherein the excess of amount paid
over the capital interest of the retiring or deceased partner is recorded as a decrease in the capital
balance of the remaining partners (bonus to retiring or deceased partner from the remaining
partners); the excess of the retiring or deceased partner’s capital balances of the remaining
partners ( bonus to the remaining partners from the retiring or deceased partner).
Retired or deceased partner’s interest – the capital interest of the partner on date of retirement
or death. It is determined by considering additional investment, withdrawals, share in profits and
losses to date of retirement or death, loans, advances and the revaluation of partnership assets to
current values.
Asset revaluation method - the asset revaluation is recorded prior to recording the settlement
with the retiring or deceased partner. The asset revaluation is determined by dividing the
difference between the retiring or deceased partner’s capital interest and the amount of
settlement by his profit and loss sharing ratio.

INTRODUCTION
Dissolution of a partnership does not mean the formal termination of a business. Dissolution of a
partnership can be recognized as a change in the capital structure of a business as a new unit.
Partnership dissolution calling for the winding up of business affairs, called liquidation, shall be
discussed in this chapter. Here, the association of the partners for purposes of carrying on
activities in the usual manner is considered ended. Partners can only engage in activities leading
to final settlement of business affairs.
211
213
DISSOLUTION WITH LIQUIDATION
A partnership is liquidated when its business operations are completely terminated or ended.
The partnership assets are sold, the partnership creditors are paid, and the remaining assets, if
any, are distributed to the partners as a return of their investments.
Partnership dissolution with liquidation may be caused by any of the following factors:
1. The accomplishment of the purpose for which the partnership was organized.
2. The termination of the term/period covered by the partnership contract.
3. The bankruptcy of the firm.
4. 4 The mutual agreement among the partners to close the business.
Accounting problems involved in the liquidation of a partnership include:
1. Determination of the profit or loss from the beginning of the accounting period to the
date of liquidation and the distribution of such profit or loss.
2. Closing of the partnership books;
3. Correction of accounting errors in prior periods like overstatement or understatement of
inventories, excessive depreciation charges, and failure to provide adequately for
doubtful accounts; and
4. Liquidation of the business
In partnership liquidation, the assets and liabilities of the partnership are directly intertwined
with those of the individual partners' personal assets and liabilities because of the unlimited
liability of each partner. The priorities for creditors’ claims against the assets available to pay the
partnership liabilities involve two concepts the marshaling of assets and the right of offset.
Marshaling of assets involves the order of creditors' rights against the partnership's assets and
the personal assets of the individual partners. The order in which claims against the partnership's
assets will be marshaled is as follows:
1. partnership creditors other than partners;
2. partners' claims other than capital and profits, such as loans payable and accrued interest
payable; and
3. partners’ claim over the capital or profits, to the extent of credit balances in capital
accounts.
212
The order of claims against the personal assets of the individual partners is as follows
214
1. personal creditors of individual partners; and
2. partnership creditors on unpaid partnership liabilities regardless of a partner’s capital
balance in the partnership.
Right of offset involves offsetting a deficit in a partner's capital (debit balance in the capital
account of a partner) against the loan payable to that partner. The loan payable to a partner has a
higher priority in liquidation than a partner’s capital balance but a lower priority than liabilities
to outside creditors.
DEFINITION OF TERMS
Dissolution - the termination of a partnership as a going concern; it is the termination of the life
of a partnership.
Winding up - the process of settling the business or partnership affairs; it is synonymous to
liquidation.
Termination - the point in time when all partnership affairs are ended
Liquidation- - the interval of time between dissolution and termination of partnership affairs; it
is also the process of winding up a business which normally consist of conversion of assets into
cash, payment of labilities and distribution of remaining cash among the partners.
Realization - the process of converting non-cash assets into cash.
Gain on realization - the excess of the selling price over the cost or book value of the assets
disposed or sold through realization.
Loss on realization - the excess of the cost or book value over the selling price of the assets
disposed or sold through realization.
Capital deficiency- the excess of a partner's share on losses over his capital.
Deficient partner - a partner with a debit balance in his capital account after receiving his share
on the loss on realization.
Right of offset - the legal right to apply part or all of the amount owing to a partner on a loan
balance against deficiency in his capital account resulting from losses in the process of
liquidation.
Partner's interest - the sum of a partner's capital, loan balance and advances to the partnership.
213
TYPES OF LIQUIDATION
1. Lump-sum liquidation or liquidation by totals. This is a type of liquidation whereby the
distribution of cash to the partners is done only after all the non-cash assets have been
realized, the total amount of gain or loss on realization is known, and all liabilities have been
paid.
215
2. Liquidation by installment or piece-meal liquidation. This is a type of liquidation whereby
assets are realized on a piecemeal basis and cash is distributed to partners on a periodic basis
as it becomes available, that is, even before all non-assets are converted into cash.
PROCEDURES IN LUMP-SUM LIQUIDATION
When a partnership is to be liquidated, the books should be adjusted and balances of nominal
accounts are closed. The resulting profit or loss for the period is transferred to the partners'
capital account. Advances and withdrawals are closed to capital accounts since cash settlement
shall be based on the partners' capital account balances. The partnership is then ready to proceed
with liquidation as follows:
1. Sale of non-cash assets and distribution or allocation of gain or loss on realization among
the partners according to their residual profit and loss ratios (salary and interest factors
disregarded) unless liquidation ratios are specified in the partnership agreement.
2. Distribution of cash to creditors and partners. In this procedure, the provisions of the
marshalling of assets and the exercise of the right of offset are applied.
Liquidation expenses may be incurred to facilitate the immediate realization of non-cash assets.
Payment of liquidation expenses reduces cash and is recorded as a deduction from partners'
capital based on the partners' profit and loss ratios.
When realization of assets in the course of liquidation results in a loss, the loss is carried to the
capital accounts of the partners as a deduction. If a partner's capital account results in a debit
balance (known as capital deficiency), after the distribution of loss on realization, such can be
offset against any loan balance of the partner to the partnership. The amount to be offset shall be
the lower of the amount of the loan or the amount of the deficiency.
Cash can be distributed to partners before or after the elimination of the deficiency. If cash is
distributed after the elimination of the deficiency,
1. Capital deficiency is eliminated by
a.
Making additional cash investment, if the deficient partner is solvent.
214
b. Charging the deficiency as additional loss to the remaining partners, if the deficient
partner is insolvent.
2. Cash available for distribution is then paid to partners to apply first on loan then on capital
Key Points. The final distribution of cash to partners is made based on partners' capital
balances and not on any ratio.
If cash is distributed to partners before eliminating the deficiency:
216
1. Cash available for distribution is paid to partners based on an accompanying schedule to
determine amounts to be paid to partners.
2. Deficient partners may
(a) If solvent, make additional cash investment; to be paid to partners as second cash
distribution, or the deficient partner may make direct cash settlement to the other
partners.
(b) If insolvent, the deficiency shall be absorbed by the other partners as additional loss
according to their profit and loss ratio.
The personal status of partners (that is, personal assets and personal liabilities) is sometimes
provided in the problem to indicate that a partner is solvent or insolvent. When personal assets
exceed personal liabilities, the partner is solvent to the extent of the excess. When personal assets
are less than personal liabilities, the partner is insolvent.
STATEMENT OF LIQUIDATION
The statement of liquidation is a statement prepared to summarize the liquidation process. It is
the basis of the journal entries made to record liquidation. This statement presents in working
paper from the effect of the liquidation on the statement of financial position. It shows the
conversion of assets into cash, the allocation of gain or loss on realization, and the distribution of
cash to creditors and partners.

(6) The other assets were sold for P68, 000. Distribution of available cash is:
a. before eliminating capital deficiency; and
b. after eliminating capital deficiency
Instructions:
1. Prepare a statement of liquidation for each of the cases. For case 6, prepare also a
schedule of cash distribution.
2. Present journal entries to record the liquidation process.
216
Points of emphasis in the preparation of the statement of liquidation
1. Make sure that the balances before liquidation show equality of debits and credits. This will
always be true after each liquidation transaction.
2. Maintain two columns only for the debits. These are cash and other assets regardless of
whether the assets were given itemized like cash, receivables, inventory, supplies, equipment,
etc. Non-cash assets are classified as "other assets."
3. Gain on realization increases capital while loss on realization decreases capital.
4. Figures in parenthesis for each liquidation transaction represent reduction in the account.
5. Double rule when all columns are brought to zero balance.
218
Case - The other assets were sold for P140,000. (Gain on realization, no capital deficiency)

The other assets of P136,000 were sold for P68,000 resulting in a loss on realization of P68,000. The distribution of the loss on realization resulted in a debit balance in the capital
of Endrada that cannot be fully absolved by his loan. The deficient partner cancels his deficiency by making additional cash investment. By doing so, the partnership will satisfy all
its liabilities including the other partners’ equities.

The distribution of the P68,000 loss on realization resulted in a debit balance in the capital account of
Endrada that cannot be fully absorbed by his loan. Failure of the deficient partner to cancel his
deficiency is to be regarded as additional loss, allocated to the remaining partners in their profit and loss
ratio. Encina and Elina share on the deficiency of Endrada in the ratio 2:1. Encina and Elina share on the

The Schedule to Accompany the Statement of Liquidation shows amounts to be paid to partners. Total
partners, interest is reduced by the restricted interest possible for losses, in case the deficient partner
fails to pay his deficiency. Restricted interest for possible losses shal continue up to the point when
deficiencies or debit balances in capital are eliminated. When deficiencies are eliminated, balances shall
be called Free Interest – Amounts to be Paid to Partners, to apply first in a loan, then on capital.

CALCULATION OF CASH SETTLEMENT WITHOUT THE AID OF A STATEMENT OF LIQUIDATION
Usually, liquidation problems do not require the presentation of a statement of liquidation but calls only
for the calculation of cash settlements to partners. In such cases, however, non-cash assets have already
been converted into cash, liabilities have bee settled but capital remain as to their balances before
liquidation since the gain or loss on realization of non-cash assets has not yet been carried to capital.
Any difference, therefore, between the debits (available cash to partners) and total credits (loans and
capitals) is a gain or loss on realization that must first be carried to the capital before proceeding with
the liquidation process.
Illustrative Problem B:
At December 31, 2014, the capital balances of the partners Ebora, Esteban and Echavez are P160,000;
P100,000 and P20,000; respectively, sharing profits and losses in the ratio 3:2:1. The partners decided to
liquidate, and sold all the non-cash assets for P148,000 cash. After paying all the liabilities amounting to
P48,000, they still have P112,000 cash left for distribution
422
The loss on realization is the excess of the credits (total credits) over the debits (cash left for
distribution).
Total capital (P160 000 + P100 000 + P20 000)
P 280 000
Less Cash left for distribution to partners
112 000
Loss on realization of assets
P 168 000
Cash settlement to partners is computed as follows:

of 3:2:1

There may be instances when the cash realized from the sale of other assets is not sufficient to
pay partnership liabilities. In such cases, remaining liabilities are satisfied by:
1. The additional cash investment by deficient solvent partners.
2. Direct collection by the partnership creditors from any one of the partners and the latter
making cash settlement among themselves.
REVIEW of the LEARNING OBJECTIVES
1. Define partnership liquidation and identify its causes. Partnership liquidation is the
winding up of the business affairs of the partnership; hence the business operation is
completely terminated or ended. Partnership liquidation may be caused by any of the
following: (1) accomplishment of the purpose of the partnership; (2) termination of the
term/period covered by the partnership contract; (3) bankruptcy of the partnership; and
(4) mutual agreement among the partners to close the business.
2. Discuss the various problems encountered in the partnership liquidation. The
liquidation of a partnership will give rise to the following problems. (1) determining
partnership profit or loss from the beginning of the accounting period to the date of
423
2
3
1
liquidation and distributing such profit or loss to the partners; (2) closing the partnership
books; (3) correcting accounting errors in prior periods; and (4) liquidating the business.
3. Identify and differentiate the two types of partnership liquidation. The two types of
partnership liquidation are lump-sum liquidation (liquidation by totals) and installment
liquidation (piecemeal liquidation). Under lump-sum liquidation, distribution of cash to
the partners is done only after realization of all non-cash assets, distribution of gain or
loss on realization and payment of partnership liabilities. Under installment liquidation,
asset realization is on a piece-meal basis and cash is distributed to partners as it becomes
available even if there are still unrealized non-cash assets.
4. Discuss and understand the accounting procedures under lump-sum liquidation.
Lump-sum liquidation requires the following procedures: (1) realization of non-cash
assets (sale of non-cash assets for cash); (2) distribution of gain or loss on realization to
the partners according to their liquidation ratio, if there is any, or according to their
residual profit and loss ratio; (3) payment of liabilities to outside creditors; and (4)
distribution of cash to partners.
GLOSSARY of ACCOUNTING TERMINOLOGIES
Capital deficiency – the excess of a partner’s share of losses over his capital credit balance.
Deficient partner – a partner with a debit balance in his capital account after receiving his share
on the loss on realization.
Insolvent partner - a partner whose personal assets are less than his personal liabilities.
Free interest - a partner’s capital interest that is available for cash payment.
Liquidation – the winding up of the business affairs of a partnership.
Realization – the process of converting non-cash assets into cash.
Restricted interest – a portion of a partner’s capital account balance that is restricted for
possible losses on liquidation. It is not, therefore, available for cash payment.
Right of offset – the legal right to apply all or part of a partner’s loan to the partnership against
capital deficiency.
Solvent partner – a partner whose personal assets are more than his personal liabilities.

NATURE OF INSTALLMENT LIQUIDATION
Under the installment liquidation, non-cash assets are sold on a piece-meal basis over an
extended period of time. Cash realized is immediately distributed to partners after fully satisfying
creditors' claims or after setting aside sufficient cash for these liabilities. In as much as cash
distributions are made before realizing non-cash assets and the total gain or loss on realization is
not yet determined, it is necessary that each cash distribution to partners be considered as if it
were the last. Remaining unsold assets, therefore, must be trusted d as a complete loss, assuming
that nothing is realized on them. Also, debit balances in capital and potential capital deficiencies
are assumed uncollectible. In this sense, partners' interests are reduced by cash distributions to a
balance proportionate to the partners' profit and loss ratios. Succeeding cash distributions are
then based on the profit and loss ratio.
The liquidation procedures shall be the same in lump sum liquidation except that:
18. Cash is distributed to partners even before fully realizing non-cash assers and
determining total gain or loss on realization.
445
19. Restricted interest, in the Acxompanying Schedule to Determine Amounts to be Paid to
Partners, shall consist of:
20. Remaining unsold assets.
21. Cash withheld (for possible expenses)
22. Debit balances in capital

PROGRAM OF CASH DISTRIBUTION
Partners may desire to determine in advance as to whom cash distribution shall be made as cash
may become available. This procedure requires the preparation of the program called Cash
priority program, Cash Predistribution Plan or Program of Priorities. The program is prepared
prior to Liquidation, that is, before cash becomes available for distribution. Cash realized on
other assets is distributed based on the program without the need for the preparation of the
schedule previously used to accompany the statement of liquidation. The steps in the preparation
of the program are the following;
1. Determine total partners interest; that is, capital balances before liquidation plus loans
by partners to the partnership less advances by the partnership to the partners.
2. Divide total partners' interest by their profit and loss ratio to get each partners loss
absorption capacity. The loss absorption capacity is the maximum amount of loss that a
partner may absorb and may eliminate any partner in any cash distribution. A partner,
therefore, with the highest loss absorption balance has the first priority on cash
distribution.
3. Once the loss absorption balances are determined, allocation may now be made,
starting with allocation I wherein the highest loss absorption balance is reduced to the
next highest. Each reduction in the loss absorption balance requires payment to
partners computed by multiplying the amount of reduction by the partners’ profit and
loss ratio.
4. After partners loss absorption balances are made equal, cash distributions are made in
the profit and loss ratio.
Using the same information for the partnership of Arias, Buendia and Caras, the cash priority
program follows:
449
A summary of the information provided by the cash priority program follows:
After fully satisfying liabilities:
1. The first P120,000 cash available to partners should be paid to Arias.
2. The next P255, 000 should be paid to Arias and Caras in the ratio 30:30.
3. Amounts in excess of P375, 000 should be paid to Arias, Buendia, and Caras in the profit
and loss ratio of 30:40:30.
Application of the cash priority program on the installment distribution upon liquidationof the
partnership of Arias, Buendia and Caras shall be:

Key points. The same amount of cash distributions per accompanying schedule to the statement
of liquidation were arrived at in January and February. Also, when cash available for distribution
is not sufficient to cover an allocation, th partners share such insufficient cash on the basis of
their profit and loss ratio.
There may be instances wherein the gain or loss related to the sale of individual assets during the
course of liquidation is difficult to determine. On such cases, no gain or loss is recognized on
realization and cash is recorded equal in amount to the book value of the assets sold. The total
gain or loss on realization is recognized in the final realization of assets and it is the difference
between the cash realized and the book value of the remaining assets sold. Such gain or loss is
then carried to capital.
REVIEW of the LEARNING OBJECTIVES
1. Explain the nature of installment liquidation. Under installment liquidation, the
realization of non-cash assets takes place over an extended period of time. However, cash
451
realized is immediately distributed to creditors and partners even if there are still unsold
non-cash assets.
2. Discuss and understand the procedures followed under installment liquidation. The
procedures under installment liquidation are basically the same as those under lump-sum
liquidation except that cash is distributed to creditors and partners as it becomes
available. However, every time cash is distributed to partners, it is considered as if it were
the last so as to avoid any overpayment to any of the partners.
3. Prepare a Statement of Liquidation and Accompanying Schedule Showing How
Available Cash is to be Distributed. The statement of liquidation is basically similar to
the one prepared under lump-sum liquidation except that it covers a longer period of
time. In addition, an accompanying schedule is prepared every time cash is distributed.
Such schedule shows how available cash is to be distributed to partners.
4. Prepare a Cash Priority Program. A cash priority program is a program prepared prior
to liquidation so that partners may determine in advance as to whom cash shall be paid as
it becomes available. The preparation of the cash priority program follows these steps: (1)
determining total partners' interests; (2) determining partners' loss absorption capacity;
(3) determining allocation of cash as it becomes available. When a cash priority program
is prepared, a schedule accompanying the statement of liquidation need not be prepared.
GLOSSARY OF ACCOUNTING TERMINOLOGIES
Installment liquidation - realization of non-cash assets on a piece-meal basis.
Partners’ loss absorption capacity - the maximum amount of loss that a partner may absorb
without incurring capital deficiency.
452
DISCUSSION QUESTIONS
1. Differentiate installment liquidation from lump-sum liquidation.
2. Discuss the procedures in installment liquidation.
3. What is a partner’s loss absorption capacity? How is it computed?
4. What advantages may be derived from the preparation of a cash priority program?
5. Describe how non-cash assets and estimated liquidation expenses are treated in the schedule
accompanying the statement of liquidation.
6. describe how a debt balance in a partner’s capital account is treated in the schedule
accompanying the statement of liquidation.
EXERCISES
453
Exercise 7-1 (Distribution of Cash)
Aguilar and Bernardo share earnings in a 60:40 ratio. They have decided to liquidate their
partnership. A portion of the assets has been sold but other assets with a carrying amount of
P84,000 still must be realized. All liabilities have been paid, and cash of P40,000 is available for
distribution to partners. The capital accounts show balances of P80,000 for Aguilar and P44,000
for Bernardo.
Instructions: Determine how should the cash P40,000 be divided.
Exercise 7-2 (Safe Cash Distribution)
When Conde and Dalmacio, partners who share earnings equally, were incapacitated in an
airplane accident, a liquidator was appointed to wind up their business. The accounts showed
cash, P70,000; other assets, P220,000; liabilities, P40,000; Conde’s capital, P142,000; and
Dalmacio’s capital, P108,000. Because of the highly specialized nature of the non-cash assets,
the liquidator anticipated that considerable time would be required to dispose them. The
expenses of liquidating the business (advertising, rent, travel, etc.) are estimated at P20,000.
Instructions: Determine the amount of cash that can be distributed safely to each partner at this
point.
Exercise 7-3 (Program of Cash Distribution)
Capital and loan balances for partners Estela, Fajardo, Gomez, who share profits 40%, 40%, and
20% respectively, are as follows just before liquidation:

Instructions: Prepare a statement/program to show how available cash would be distributed to
the partners during the course of liquidation after creditors are paid in full. State which partner
would receive the first cash available and at what point and to what degree each of the remaining
partners would participate in cash distributions.
Exercise 7-4 (Program of Cash Distribution; Cash Distribution to Partners)
Partners Halili, Ibanez, and Jacinto have capital balances of P11,200; P113,000; and P5,800,
respectively and share profits in the ratio of 4:2:1.
454
Instructions:
1. Prepare a schedule showing how available cash will be distributed to partners as it becomes
available.
2. How much must the partnership realize om the sale of its assets if Hlili is to receive P10,000
as final settlement?
3. If Halili is personally insolvent and Ibanez receives a total of P1,800 in final liquidation of the
firm, what was the partnership loss on liquidation?
Exercise 7-5 (Cash Priority Program: Statement of Liquidation)
On January 1, 2014, partners Kho, Lagman and Magno decided to liquidate their partnership.
Prior to the liquidation, the partners had cash of P12,000, non-cash assets of P146,000, liabilities
to outsiders of P36,000 and a note payable to Partner Magno of P146,000. The capital balances
of the partners were: Kho – 36,000; Lagman – 54,000; Magno – P18,000. The partners share
profits and losses in the ratio of 3:3:4, respectively.
During January 2014, the partnership received cash of 30,000 from the sale of assets with a book
value of P38,000 and paid P3,600 of liquidation expenses. During February, the partnership
realized P44,000 from the sale of assets with a book value of P35,000 and paid liquidation
expenses of P8,400. During March, the remaining assets were sold for P36,000, The partners

Problem 7-5 (Statement of Changes in Partner’s Equity)
On January 1, 2013, Fernan and Luisa agreed to combine their talents and capital and form a
partnership. Fernan contributed P20,000 cash, merchandise with a book value of P12,000 and a
market value of P20,000. Luisa gave P15,000 cash and merchandise with a book value of
P24,000 and a market value of P15,000.
On December 31, 2013, before the boos are closed, the drawing account of Fernan shows a debit
balance of P7,000; and for Luisa, debit balance, P6,000. The partnership agreement with regards
to division of profits and losses provides that each partner is to be allowed an annual salary of
P10,000 and Fernan is to receive 65% and Luisa 35% of the balance after allowance of salaries.
On January 2, 2014, Susan is admitted as a partner upon the investment of P40,000 in the firm.
Fernan and Luisa sharing in the ratio of 65:35 give a bonus to Susan so that Susan may have a
40% interest in the firm. The new agreement provides that profits and losses are to be distributed
as follows: Fernan, 35%; Luisa, 25% and Susan, 40%. Salaries are not allowed.
On December 31, 2014, the partners’ drawing accounts have debit balances as follows; Fernan,
P4,900; Luisa, P3,900; and Susan, P4,200. The Income Summary account has a P12,000 debit
balance. Accounts are closed.
In January 2015, the partners decide to liquidate. The assets are realized on a piece-meal basis
and the partners decided to distribute cash as it becomes available. In February, after creditors
are fully paid, cash of p10,000 remains available for partners. This is distributed to the proper
parties.
In April, cash realized from sale of non-cash assets is P20,000 and this is distributed to the
partners.
In May, the remaining noncash assets is solid for P30,000 and on May 31 final cash settlement is
made with partners

DEFINITION OF A CORPORATION
A corporation is an artificial being created by operation of law, having the right of succession
and the powers attributes and properties expressly authorized by law or incident to is existence.
(Section 1, Corporate Code of the Philippines)
CHARACTERSTICS OF A CORPORATION
1. Separate legal entity - artificial being. A corporation is an artificial being with a
personality that is separate from that of its individual owners. Thus, it may, under its
corporate name, take, hold, or convey property to the extent allowed by law, enter into
contracts and sue or be sued
2. Created by operation of law. A corporation is generally created by operation of law.
The mirror agreement of the parties cannot give rise to a corporation.
3. Right of succession. A corporation has the right of succession. Irrespective of the death,
withdrawal, insolvency, or incapacity of the individual members or shareholders, and
regardless of the transfer of their interest or share capital, a corporation can continue its
existence up to the period of time stated in the articles of incorporation but not to exceed
fifty years.
4. Powers, attributes, properties authorized by law. The corporation has only the powers,
attributes, and properties expressly authorized by law or incident to its existence. Being a
mere creation of law, a corporation can only exercise powers provided by law and those
powers which are incidental to its existence.
5. Ownership divided into shares. Proprietorship in a corporation is divided into units
known as share capital. The buyers of the share capital are called shareholders or
stockholders and are considered owners of the business

2. The corporation has the ability to obtain a strong credit line because of continuity of
existence.

their funds in their enterprise.

4. The liability of its investors or shareholders is limited to the extent of their investment in the
corporation.
5. The transfer of shares can be effected without the need for prior consent of other shareholders.
6. Its smooth operation is guaranteed because of centralized management.
DISADVANTAGES OF A CORPORATION

organization.
2. The limited liability of its shareholders may weaken its credit capacity.
3. It is subject to rigid governmental control.
4. It is subject to more taxes.
5. Its centralized management restricts a more active participation by shareholders in the
conduct of corporate affairs.

subscribed and paid in or secured to be paid in by the shareholders of the corporation either in
money or in property, labor or services upon the organization of the corporation or afterwards;
and upon which it is to conduct its operations.
CLASSES OF SHARE CAPITAL
A corporation may issue two classes of share capital, namely, ordinary share capital (common
stock) and preference share capital (preferred stock). When a single class of share capital is
issued, it is an ordinary share capital. Ordinary share capital entitles the holder to an equal or
pro-rata division of profits without any preference or advantage over any class of shares.
Preference share capital, on the other hand, entitles the holder to enjoy priority as to distribution
of dividends and distribution of assets upon corporate liquidation. Dividends are corporate
profits distributed to its shareholders.
Unless otherwise stated in the contract, all shareholders have the same basic rights. These rights
are as follows:
1. To share in the distribution of corporate profit;
475
2. To share in the distribution of assets upon corporate liquidation;
3. To vote in shareholders’ meeting; and
4. To maintain one’s ownership interest in the corporation through purchase of additional
shares when a new share capital is issued. This is known as the preemptive right.
If a corporation issues both preference and ordinary share capital, the articles of incorporation or
the corporate by-laws should state the special features of each class of share capital.
Both preference and ordinary share capital may be issued with par, without par but with stated
value, or without par and without stated value.
A par value share capital has a nominal or face value stated in the face of the stock certificate
and in the articles of incorporation.
A no-par but with stated value share capital has a nominal value stated in the articles of
incorporation but not on the face of the stock certificate.
A no-par, no stated value share capital has no nominal value stated either in the articles of
incorporation nor on the face of the stock certificate.
In our Corporation Code, a no-par share capital is to be issued for a consideration of not less than
five pesos. (P5.00)
PREFERENCE SHARE CAPITAL (PREFERRED STOCK)
A preference share capital is generally issued with a par value and a dividend rate. The holders of
preference shares have priority as to distribution of dividends and as to distributions of assets in
the event of corporate liquidation. However, this does not mean that the holders are assured of
regular receipt of dividends; rather, this means the dividend requirements on preference shares
must first be met before any payment can be made to holders of ordinary shares.
A corporation may issue more than one calss of preference shares. Generally, preference shares
may be classified as follows:
1. Cumulative preference shares – entitle the holders to the receipt of previous years unpaid
dividends (i.e., dividends in arrears) before any payment can be made to ordinary shareholders
upon dividend declaration. This means that if dividend is not declared in a particular year, the
right to such dividend is not lost but carried forward to a subsequent year.
2. Non-cumulative preference shares – entitle the holders to the receipt of current dividends but
not on the previous years’ unpaid dividends. This means that if dividend is not declared in a
particular year, the right to such dividend is lost.
3. Participating preference shares – entitle the holders to the receipt of additional dividend after
holders of both preference and ordinary shares have been paid up to the current year’s dividend.
This means that the holders of preference shares have the right to share in extra dividends.
476
Participating preference shares may be fully participating or participating only up to a certain
amount or percentage.
4. Nonparticipating preference share – entitle the holders to the receipt of dividends up to the
current period only. All extra dividends are given to holders of ordinary shares.
5. Convertible preference shares – entitle the holders the option to exchange the shares for some
other securities of the issuing corporation, normally ordinary shares.
6. Redeemable preference shares – entitle the issuing corporation the option to reddem or call the
shares at a certain call price.
ORDINARY SHARE CAPITAL (COMMON STOCK)
An ordinary share capital or common stock represents residual ownership equity. The holders of
this class of share capital carry the greatest risk; however, the ordinarily share in earnings to the
greatest extent if the corporation is successful. Although the right to vote is a basic right of all
shareholders, it is frequently given exclusively to ordinary shareholders as long as dividends are
paid regularly to preference shareholders.
AUTHORIZED SHARE CAPITAL
The maximum number of shares (both preference and ordinary shares) that a corporation may
issue is termed as authorized shares. The authorized share capital (authorized capital stock) is
determined by multiplying the authorized shares by the par or stated value of the share capital.
A corporation cannot issue shares more than the authorized shares stated in the articles of
incorporation. However, it may increase its authorized shares and authorized share capital by
amending its articles of incorporation.
Authorized share capital may be recorded under the journal entry method or the memorandum
entry method. The entries under the two (2) methods to record authorized share capital are
presented below and on the next page.
MEMORANDUM ENTRY METHOD
Authorized to issue xxx shares of xxx share capital with a par value of Pxxx.
JOURNAL ENTRY METHOD
Unissued XXX Share Capital
xxx
477
Authorized XXX Share Capital
xxx
The total amount recorded is computed by multiplying authorized shares by the par or the stated
value of the share capital. Thus, this method cannot be used if the the share capital is a no-par
and no-stated value stock.
The entry to record authorized share capital is made in the general journal and is then posted to
the share capital account in the general ledger. If more than one class of these capitals are issued,
a separate entry is made for each class of share capital and a separate account for each class is
maintained in the general ledger.
The memorandum entry method enjoys popularity in use compared with the journal entry
method. For problem solving purposes, the memorandum entry method will be used if there is no
specification as to which method will be used.
Illustrative Problem A: The Joyful Company was organized on January 1, 2014 will be
authorized share capital as follows:
10,000 shares of 10% preference share capital with a par value of P100 per share.
200,000 shares of ordinary share capital with a par value of P10 per share.
The entries to record authorized share capital and the subsequent posting to the general ledger
under each method are illustrated below:
Case 1 – The memorandum entry method is used.
2014
Jan. 1 Authorized to issue 10,000 shares of 10% preference share capital with a par value of
P100 per share.
1 Authorized to issue 200,000 shares of ordinary share capital with a par value of P10 per
share.
The two entries are then posted to the accounts in the general ledger as follows:
Case 2 – The journal entry method is used.
2014
478
Jan. 1 Unissued Preference Share Capital
1,000,000
Authorized Preference Share Capital
1 Unissued Ordinary Share Capital
1,000,000
2,000,000
Authorized Ordinary Share Capital
2,000,000
These entries are then posted to the accounts in the general ledger as follows:
Posting to the accounts in the general ledger is very important so that the corporation will be able
to monitor shares issued and avoid the issuance of shares more than what is authorized.
ISSUANCE OF SHARE CAPITAL
A share capital may be issued in exchange for cash, non-cash assets, services, liability or other
form of securities. It may be sold also on a subscription basis. A share capital issued to a
shareholder is called an outstanding share. The major issue on issuance of share capital is the
basis for measurement of the transaction. The discussion of the measurement standards will be
based on the provisions of PRFS 2 Share-Based Payment and will be limited to issuance of share
capital to non-employees. The issuance of share capital to employees (such as share options and
share appreciation rights) will be discussed in financial accounting.
A shareholders’ (stockholders’) ledger is used to maintain records affecting the shareholding of
each shareholder such as transfer or sale of share capital. Shares issued to a shareholder, on the
other hand, are recorded in the stock certificate book.
Share capital issued are recorded in the share capital account maintained for each class of share
capital. The discussions in the succeeding paragraphs are focused on the issuance of various
classes of shares in exchange for various considerations.
479
ISSUANCE OF PAR VALUE SHARE
As discussed earlier, a par value share has a nominal value stated on the face of the stock
certificate. The following rules shall apply in the issuance of this class of share capital.
ISSUANCE FOR CASH. A share capital may be issued for cash equal to its par value, above par
value, or below par value. If cash received is equal to its par value, Cash is debited and Share
Capital or Unissued Share Capital is credited.
If the share capital is sold or issued above its par value, Cash is debited for the amount received,
Share Capital or Unissued Share Capital is credited at par value, and Share Premium or Paid-in
Capital in Excess of Par is credited for the excess of cash received over par value.
If the share capital is sold or issued below its par value, Cash is debited for the amount received,
share Capital or Unissued Share Capital is credited at par value, and Discount on share capital is
debited for the excess of par value over the amount of cash received Under the Corporation Code
of the Philippines, however, the original issuance of that capital at a discount is not allowed.
Therefore, problems involving discounts are used in the book for illustration purposes only.
Illustrative Problem B: The Happy Corporation was organized on January 1, 2014 and is
authorized to issue 10,000 shares of P10 par value ordinary shares. Subsequently, 25,000 shares
were sold.
The entries to record the sale of shares under the two methods of recording share capital using
three independent cases are presented below and on the next page.

482
250,000
It should be noted that the basic difference between the memorandum entry method and the
journal entry method is the account to be credited upon issuance of the share capital.
Under the memorandum entry method, the Share Capital account is credited upon issuance of
the stock. The balance of this account represents the amount of capital stock or share capital
issued to shareholders.
Under the journal entry method, the Unissued Share Capital account is credited upon issuance
of the share capital thereby reducing the balance of this account. The balance of this account
represents the amount of authorized share capital not yet issued and is deducted from the balance
of Authorized Share Capital account to determine the amount of share capital already issued to
shareholders.
ISSUANCE IN EXCHANGE FOR NON-CASH ASSETS OR PROPERTY. When a share
capital issued in exchange for non-cash assets, the asset received is recorded at its fair value (also
known as direct measurement), unless the fair value cannot be estimated reliably. If the fair value
of the asset received cannot be estimated reliably, it will be recorded at the fair value of the share
capital issued, also known as indirect measurement (PFRS 2, par. 10). The fair value of the asset
received shall be determined at the date the entity receives the asset (PFRS 2, par. 13).
Upon issuance of the stock, Share Capital or Unissued Share Capital is credited at par value. The
excess of the value assigned to the asset received over the par value of the stock issued is
credited to Share Premium or Additional Paid-in Capital, or Share Capital in Excess of Par. To
reiterate, original issuance of share capital at less than its par value is prohibited under our
Corporation Code.
In some instances, the value assigned to the asset received is overstated or understand. When the
value assigned to the asset received in exchange for share capital is overstated, the share capital
issued is called watered share capital. The overstatement is done to comply with the requirement
of the law that the share capital should not be issued at less than its par value. When the value of
the asset received is understated, the share capital is said to contain secret reserves.
Illustrative Problem C: The Happy Corporation issued 10,000 shares of its P10 par ordinary
share capital in exchange for land. The entries to record the issuance of the share capital under
the memorandum entry method using three independent cases are given on below and on the
next page.
Case 1 - The land has a fair value of P175,000.

date of exchange is P15.
Land
150,000
Ordinary Share Capital

Ordinary Share Premium
50,000
If the journal entry method is used instead of the memorandum entry method, Unissued Ordinary
Share Capital should have been credited instead of Ordinary Share Capital.
ISSUANCE IN EXCHANGE FOR SERVICES RENDERED. When a share capital is issued
in exchange for services rendered, the services received is recorded at its fair value (also known
as direct measurement), unless the fair value cannot be estimated reliably. If the fair value of the
services received cannot be estimated reliably, it will be recorded at the fair value of the share
capital issued, also known as indirect measurement (PFRS 2, par. 10). The fair value of the
services received shall be determined at the date the other party renders the services. (PFRS 2,
par. 13).
If the shares are issued for services rendered during incorporation, Pre-Operating Expenses is
debited, Share Capital or Unissued Share Capital is credited at par value; Share Capital in Excess
of Par, or Additional Paid-in Capital or Share Premium is credited for any excess of the value
assigned to pre-operating expenses and the par value of the share capital.
Illustrative Problem D: The Happy Corporation issued 1,000 shares of P10 par ordinary share
capital in payment for the services of the lawyer rendered during incorporation.
Case 1 - The services of the lawyer is valued at P25,000.

SALE OF SHARE CAPITAL ON A SUBSCRIPTION BASIS. Subscription is a contract
between a subscriber (buyer of share capital) and a corporation (seller or issuer of share capital)
whereby the former purchases shares of stock of the latter with the payment to be made at a later
date. The corporation issues the corresponding stock certificate upon full payment of
subscription. This practice is a means of encouraging subscribers to pay their unpaid subscription
on time.
Sale of share capital on a subscription basis generally involves three major transactions – (1)
receipt of subscription, (2) collection from subscribers, and (3) issuance of stock certificate upon
full payment of subscription. Entries required for these transactions are given below.

ISSUANCE OF NO-PAR, BUT WITH STATED VALUE SHARE CAPITAL
A share capital without par value but with a stated value has a nominal value stated in the articles
of incorporation but not on the face of the stock certificate.
The same rules discussed in the issuance of share capital with a par value are applicable. The
account Share Capital in Excess of Stated Value may be used instead of the account Share
Premium or Share Capital in Excess of Par.
ISSUANCE FOR CASH. A share capital may be sold for cash at its stated value, at more than
stated value, or at less than stated value. If cash received is equal to stated value, Cash is debited
and Share Capital or Unissued Share Capital is credited.
If the share capital is sold or issued at more than its stated value, Cash is debited for the amount
received, Share Capital or Unissued Share Capital is credited at stated value, and Paid-in Capital
in Excess of Stated Value is credited for the excess of cash received over stated value.
If the share capital is sold or issued at less than its stated value, Cash is debited for the amount
received. Share Capital or Unissued Share Capital is credited at stated value, and Discount on
Share Capital is debited for the excess of stated value over the amount of Cash received. Under
the Corporation Code of the Philippines, however, the original issuance of share capital at a
discount is not allowed. Therefore, problems in counts are used in the book for illustration
purposes only.
Illustrative Problem F: The Happy Corporation was organized on January 1, 2014 and is
authorized to issue 100,000 shares of P10 stated value ordinary share capital. Subsequently,

If the journal entry method is used instead of the memorandum entry method, Unissued Share
Capital will be credited instead of Ordinary Share Capital.
ISSUANCE IN EXCHANGE FOR NON-CASH ASSETS OR PROPERTY. When a share
capital is issued in exchange for non-cash assets, the asset received is recorded at its fair value
(also known as direct measurement), unless the fair value cannot be estimated reliably. If the fair
value of the asset received cannot be estimated reliably, it will be recorded at the fair value of the
share capital issued, also known as indirect measurement (PFRS 2, par. 10). The fair value of
the asset received shall be determined at the date the entity receives the asset (PFRS 2, par. 13).
Upon issuance of the share capital, Share Capital or Unissued Share Capital is credited at stated
value. The excess of the value assigned to the asset received over the stated value of the share
capital issued is credited to Share Capital in Excess of Stated Value.
Illustrative Problem G: Happy Corporation issued 10,000 shares of its P10 stated value

If the journal entry method is used instead of the memorandum entry method, Unissued Ordinary
Share Capital should have been credited instead of Ordinary Share Capital.
ISSUANCE IN EXCHANGE FOR SERVICES RENDERED. When a share capital is issued in
exchange for services rendered, the services received is recorded at its fair value (also known as
direct measurement), unless the fair value cannot be estimated reliably. If the fair value of the
services received cannot be estimated reliably, it will be recorded at the fair value of the share
capital issued, also known as indirect measurement (PFRS 2, par. 10). The fair value of the
services received shall be determined at the date the other party renders the services. (PFRS 2,
par. 13).
If the shares are issued for services rendered during incorporation, Pre-Operating Expense is

value on a subscription basis is recorded in the same manner as that of a stock with a par value,
except for the account credited for the excess of the subscription price over the stated value of
stock. The account Share Capital in Excess of Stated Value is credited instead of Share Premium,

ISSUANCE IN EXCHANGE FOR SERVICES RENDERED. When a share capital is issued in
exchange for services rendered, the services received is recorded at its fair value (also known as
direct measurement), unless the fair value cannot be estimated reliably. If the fair value of the
services received cannot be estimated reliably, it will be recorded at the fair value of the share
capital issued, also known as indirect measurement (PFRS 2, par 10). The fair value of the
services received shall be determined at the date the other party renders the services. (PFRS 2,
par. 13).
If the shares are issued for services rendered during incorporation, Pre-Operating Expenses is
debited and Share Capital or Unissued Share Capital is credited for the value assigned to the
services rendered.

subscription. Such delinquent subscription is then offered for sale in a public auction and
delinquent shares are issued to the highest bidder. The highest bidder is the one who is willing to
pay the unpaid subscription plus any expense incurred in connection with the delinquency sale
and is willing to receive the lease number of shares

INCORPORATING A SOLE PROPRIETORSHIP OR A PARTNERSHIP
A sole proprietorship or a partnership may decide to incorporate to enjoy the advantages of
being a corporation. The books of the old organization may be used by the new corporation after
giving effect to changes that may have taken place; or a new set of records may be opened. It is a
common practice, however, that a new set of books is used by the new organization.
GOODWILL RESULTING FROM THE ACQUISITION OF A PARTNERSHIP BY
CORPORATION (INCORPORATION OF A PARTNERSHIP)
The acquisition of a partnership by a corporation or incorporation of a partnership may involve
the recognition of goodwill. The goodwill shall be the result of the acquisition by the new
corporation of the net assets of the partnership. It is the excess of the market value of the capital
share issued to the former partners in the partnership over the fair value of net assets transferred
by the partnership into the corporation. The adjustment for e goodwill increases the capital of the
former partners.
496
PFRS 3 prohibits the amortization of goodwill acquired in a combination and requires the
goodwill to be tested for impairment annually, or more frequently, if events instead in
circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired.
BOOKS OF THE OLD PARTNERSHIP ARE RETAINED
If the books of the partnership are retained, the following steps in recording the incorporation
will be followed:
1. Revalue the net assets of the partnership (i.e., assets and liabilities). Adjustments in asset and
liability balances may be reported through a revaluation account called Capital Adjustment
Account or recorded directly to the capital accounts of the partners.
2.
Recognize goodwill. The total value of the share capital to be issued is compared with the
adjusted fair value of the net assets received from the partnership. The excess of the total
value of the share capital over the adjusted fair value of net assets is payment for goodwill.
3. In case a revaluation account is used, close the balance of Capital Adjustment Account to the
capital accounts of the partners in accordance with their profit and loss ratio
4. Record the authorized share capital of the new corporation.
5. Record the issuance of share capital to the partners.
6. Record any necessary distribution of cash to the partners
7. Record the issuance of share capital to other incorporators or shareholders (stockholders)
NEW BOOKS ARE OPENED FOR THE CORPORATION
If a new set of books is opened for the corporation, the following shall be recorded in the
corporation books:
1. Authorized share capital.
2. Issuance of share capital for the net assets transferred by the partnership.
3. issuance of share capital to other incorporators
Entries are also prepared on the partnership books to record the following

REVIEW of the LEARNING OBJECTIVES
1. Define a corporation and discuss its characteristics. A corporation is defined as an
artificial being created by operation of law, having the right of succession and the
powers, attributes and properties expressly authorized by law or incident to its existence.
It has the following characteristics: (1) it is a separate legal entity with a personality of its
own; (2) it is created by operation by law (3) it has the right of succession:(4) it has the
powers, attributes, and properties authorized by law; (5) its ownership is divided into
shares known as share capital; and (6) its management is vested in a board of directors
elected by the shareholders.
2. ldentify and discuss the advantages a and disadvantages of a corporate form of
organization. A corporation has the following advantages: (1) it enjoys a continuous
existence because of its power of succession; (2) it can obtain a strong credit line because
of its continuous existences (3) there are more investors enabling it to raise more funds;
(4) investors have limited liability, (5) share capital are transferable without the need for
consent of other.
502
Shareholders; and (6) it has smooth operation because of centralized management. On the
other hand, organizing and operation a corporate type of organization has the following
disadvantages: (1) it is subject to more government control; (2) it is subject to more taxes;
(3) it is costly to organize’ (4) its credit capacity is weakened by the limited liability of
the shareholders; and (5) there is a more restrictive participation by shareholders in the
conduct of corporate affairs because management is vested in the board of directors.
3. Identify and discuss the various classes of corporation. Corporations may be classified
into (1) stock or non-stock corporations: (2) public, private, or quasi-public corporations;
(3) de jure o de facto corporations; (4) domestic or foreign corporations; and (5) open or
closel-held corporations
4. Identify the components of a corporation. A corporation has seven components and these are
the following: (1) incorporators (2) corporators (3) stockholders or shareholders (4) members (5)
promoters (6) subscribers; and (7) underwriters. The process of organizing a corporation is
composed of three stages, namely; (1) promotion; (2) incorporation, Which includes the drafting
of the articles of incorporation and its subsequent tiling with the Securities and Exchange
Commission; and (3) commencement of the business.
5. Identify the different types of records that are maintained by a corporation. To be able
to keep track of the transactions of the corporation, the following records are generally
maintained: journals, ledgers, minutes of meeting of board of directors, minutes of
meeting of shareholders; and stock and transfer book.
6. Identify and differentiate the two classes of share capital that may be issued by a
corporation. Share capital is the amount fixed by the corporate charter to be subscribed
and paid in by the shareholders. Share capital can either be ordinary or preference share
capital. Both ordinary and preference share capita1 can be issued with a par value,
without par but with stated value, or without par and without stated value.
7. Identify the measurement bases in the issuance of share capital in exchange for
various considerations. Share capital may be issued in exchange for (a) mi], (b) non-cash
assets, or (c) services. When a share capital is issued for cash, the share capital is
measured by the amount of cash received. When a share capital is issued in exchange for
non-cash assets, the asset received is recorded at its fair value (also known as direct
measurement), unless the fair value cannot be estimated reliably. If the fair value of the
asset received cannot be Wed reliably, it will be recorded at the fair value of the share
capital issued, also known as indirect measurement (PFRS 2, par. 1 0). When a share
capital is issued in exchange for services rendered, the services received is meted a its fair
value (also known as direct measurement), unless the fair
503
value cannot be estimated reliably. If the fair value of the services received cannot be estimated
reliably, it will be recorded at the fair value of the share capital issued, also known as indirect
measurement (PFRS 2, par. 10).
8.
Record transactions relating to issuance of share capital using the memorandum
entry method and the journal entry method. The recording of authorized share capital and
subsequent issuance may be recorded using the memorandum entry method or the journal entry
method. Under the memorandum entry method, the authorized share capital of the corporation is
recorded by means of a memorandum entry indicating the authorized number of shares that may
be issued and the par or stated value of each share or an indication that the shares have no par
and no stated value. Subsequent issuance of the share capital requires a credit to the Share
Capital account. Under the journal entry method, the authorized share capital of the corporation
is recorded by debiting Unissued Share Capital and crediting Authorized Share Capital for the
total par value or stated value of the authorized shares. Subsequent issuance requires a credit to
Unissued Share Capital account. Ordinary or preference shares may be issued in exchange for
cash, for non-cash assets, for services, for extinguishment of liabilities or in exchange for another
form of securities. Share capital may also be issued on a subscription basis. However, when a
subscriber fails to pay his subscription, such subscription becomes delinquent and will be subject
to bidding.

ACCOUNTING CYCLE OF A CORPORATION
The accounting cycle of a corporation is essentially the same as that of a sole proprietorship and
a partnership. Transactions, such as purchase and sale of merchandise and payment of expenses
and liabilities, are recorded in the same manner as that of the two other forms of business
organizations.
At the end of the accounting period, the results of operation of the corporation and its financial
position are determined and the following problems are normally encountered:
1. Preparation of a work sheet
2. Preparation of financial statements
a. Statement of financial position (balance sheet)
b. Income statement
c. Statement of comprehensive income
d. Statement of changes in shareholders’ equity
e. Statement of cash flows
3. Preparation of adjusting and closing entries
PREPARATION OF A WORK SHEET
A work sheet is a working paper that facilitates the preparation of financial statements.
However, before it can be prepared and completed, data for adjustments must first be compiled.
These items requiring adjustments are also the same items discussed in Chapters 1 and 3. For
purposes of illustration, these will be discussed again in this chapter. Data requiring adjustments
at the end of the accounting period include:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
Accrued expense
Accrued income
Prepaid Expense
Unearned or deferred income
Uncollectible accounts
Depreciation and other cost allocation
Income tax
535
The work sheet normally contains eight columns; however, there are instances when ten columns
are used because of the addition of a pair of column for retained earnings.
PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Financial statements are the end product of the accounting process. The information contained
therein is taken from the completed work sheet. PAS 1 (revised 2010) provides that a complete
set of financial statements shall be composed of the following:
1. Statement of Financial Position (balance sheet)
2. Statement of Comprehensive Income (or a separate statement of income and statement of
other comprehensive income.
536
3. Statement of changes in equity
4. Statement of cash flows
5. Notes
The statement of comprehensive income reports gains and losses not reported as a part of as
profit or loss but are shown as adjustments to the total equity. These items include gain (loss)
from changes in fair value of available for sale securities and revaluation surplus arising from
revaluation of property, plant and equipment.
The Securities of Exchange Commission (SEC) requires that corporation submits to the
Commission within 15 days from the end of the first three months of operations a statement of
cash flows covering a period of three months from the date of registration. The statement must
show in sufficient detail the sources of cash and how these are disbursed. The paid-up capital
must be disbursed only in connection with the business for which the corporation was organized
and no amount shall be disbursed as loans or advances to shareholders or officers of the
corporation.
The preparation of the statement of cash flows is discussed in Chapter 11 of this book.
STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL POSITION (BALANCE SHEET)
The statement of financial position (balance sheet) reports the financial condition of a company
as of particular date. It contains the Assets, liabilities and equity of the business. The assets and
liabilities should be properly classified as current and noncurrent. The equity section of the
statement of financial position of a corporation is called shareholders’ equity or stockholders’
equity and is generally composed of Contributed Capital and Retained Earnings. In some
instances, a corporation may have capital maintenance adjustment accounts such as revaluation
surplus and net unrealized gain or loss on long term investments that are shown separately in the
equity section.
CONTRIBUTED CAPITAL. The Contributed Capital represents corporate capital arising from
investment shareholders. It is further divided into two sections:
1. Share Capital or Capital Stock- this also known as legal capital. This section reports both
preference (preferred) and ordinary (common) share capital issued, subscribed and distributable
as dividends, stated at par or stated value. In case of share capital without par value not stated
value, the amount reported is the total value of consideration received in exchange for the shares.
This section should include a description of each class of share capital such as the par or stated
value, authorized shares, number of shares issued, and divided rights in case of preference share
capital.
Share capital subscription receivables that are not currently collectible are shown as deduction
from share capital subscribed.
537
If the journal entry method of recording share capital transactions is used, issued share capital is
determined by deducting the balance of Unissued Share Capital account from Authorized Share
Capital account.
2. Additional Paid-In Capital- this section reports investment by shareholders in excess of the
par or stated value of the share capital. It includes paid-in capital in excess of par value or stated
value (share premium) of both preference and ordinary share capital.
It also includes donated capital and other paid-in capital items arising from various share capital
transactions .These different share capital transactions are discussed in Chapter 10.
Retained Earnings (Earned Surplus). The Retained Earnings balance represents undistributed
earnings of the corporation. It represents capital of the corporation arising from its operations.
The balance of the account is generally divided into two parts, as follows:
1. Appropriated retained earnings- it is the portion of Retained Earnings set aside for a
specific purpose.
2. Unappropriated retained earnings- it is the portion of Reatained Earnings available for
distribution as dividends to the shareholders. It is normally described as “unrestricted
earnings”
The Retained Earnings account has normal credit balance. A debit balance in the account is
called a deficit.
STATEMENT OF COMPREHENSIVE INCOME
The statement of comprehensive income is composed of two parts: profit or loss for the period
and other comprehensive income. The first part reports revenue and gains realized and expenses
and losses incurred during a period. The excess of revenue and gains over expenses and losses is
profit; the excess of expenses and losses over income and gains is loss. The second part reports
items of gains and losses which are not required by other PASs and PRFSs to be recognized in
profit or loss. Examples are changes in revaluation surplus when property, plant and equipment
are reported using the revaluation model and gains and losses arising from changes in fair value
of available-for-sale securities.
An essential part of the statement of comprehensive income prepared for a corporation is the
earnings per share amount that is reported blow the profit figure. The concepts and principles
relating to earning per share calculation as provided in PAS 33 shall be discussed in this chapter.
538

PAS 1 (revised 2010) also permits the presentation of comprehensive income in two
statements: an income statement and a statement of other comprehensive income.
For the purpose of this book, the option of preparing two separate statements will be adopted;
however, the statement of comprehensive income is not included in the illustration and
discussion. A detailed discussion of this statement is covered in the last part of financial
statements.
STATEMENT OF CHANGES IN SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY
The statement of changes in shareholders’ equity is one of the basic financial statements that
should be prepared. This statement reports transactions or items that cause changes in
shareholders’ equity account balances. For a corporation that is neither a subsidiary nor a parent,
and for which there are no changes in accounting policy or correction of error, the statement
shows the following:




The profit or loss for the period
Other comprehensive income
Capital share transactions with shareholders and distributions to shareholders (issuance of
share capital and dividends)
The balance of retained earnings at the beginning and the end of the period and the
movement during the period
PREPARATION OF ADJUSTING AND CLOSING ENTRIES
After the financial statements are prepared, adjusting and closing entries must be journalized and
posted. The adjusting entries of corporation are similar to those of a sole proprietorship and
partnership. No special problems are encountered in the preparation of adjusting entries. Closing
entries, on the other hand, consist of the following:
1. Closing the balances of revenue accounts to Income Summary
2. Closing the balances of expense accounts to Income Summary
3. Closing the balance of Income Summary to Retained Earnings

DIVIDENDS
Dividends are distribution to shareholders of corporate earnings in proportion to the number of
shares held by them. Distributions may take the form of (1) cash, (2) non-cash assets, (3) notes or
other evidence of corporate indebtedness, and (4) shares of the company's own share capital.
Dividends previously described are paid out of accumulated earnings of the corporation They
may also be paid as a return of shareholders' invested capital. This type of dividends are called
liquidating dividend. However, discussion in this book will be limited to dividends representing
distributions of corporate earnings.
The power to declare dividends is vested upon the board of directors; however, they have to
observe legal requirements governing the maintenance of legal or stated capital Dividend
declaration is normally announced to be made known to the shareholders.
The following dates are essential in formal dividend announcement or statement
1. Date of declaration - this is the date when the board of directors approved the resolution to
distribute dividends. The liability of the corporation to the shareholder is recorded on this
date.
2. Date of shareholders of record - this is the date when the company determines the
shareholders who are entitled to the receipt of declared dividends. No entry required on this
date; however, a list of registered shareholders is made as of the close of business on this
date. Share capital are selling dividends-on prior to this date and are selling ex-dividends the
day following this date.
3.
Date of payment or distribution - this is the date when dividends declared are paid or
distributed to the shareholders. The liability recognized on the date of declaration is cancelled
or extinguished on this date.
CASH DIVIDENDS
Cash dividends are dividends that are distributable in the form of cash. This is the most common
type of dividend. The following entries are made to record the declaration subsequent payment:
Retained Earnings
xxx
Cash Dividends Payable*
To record the declaration of dividends.
Cash Dividends Payable
xxx
548
xxx
Cash
xxx
To record payment of dividends.
*Alternatively, the account Dividends Payable may be used.
If the dividends declared are still unpaid as of the statement of financial position date, the
balance of the account Cash Dividends Payable is reported as a current liability.
The amount of cash dividends declared-should not exceed the amount of cash reported on the
statement of financial position or cash needed for current operations. For instance, Retained
Earnings may have a balance of P 1,000,000 but the cash balance is only P500,000, the
corporation can distribute cash dividends of not more than P500,000. Another form of dividend
may be declared for the remaining undistributed earnings.
Cash dividends may either be:
1. Peso dividend - a cash dividend expressed in peso amount. The peso dividend multiplied by
the number of outstanding shares of the corporation equals the total amount of Retained
Earnings declared as cash dividends. On the other hand, the peso dividend multiplied by the
number of capital shares held by a shareholder equals the total amount of cash dividends to
be received by the shareholder.
2. Percentage dividend - a cash dividend expressed in percentage. The dividend percentage
multiplied by the par value or stated value of the capital share equals the peso dividend.
Alternatively, the percentage dividend multiplied by the total par value or total stat value of
the capital share equals the total amount of Retained Earnings declared as cash dividends.
For example, the dividend on a 10% preference share with a par value P100 is equal to P10
(i.e., 10% x P100). A shareholder who owns 2,000 shares is entitled to P20,000 (.e., P10 x
2,000 shares).
Illustrative Problem B: Fortune Corp. has 10,000 shares of P100 par value ordinary share capital
outstanding as of December 1, 2014. On this date, the Board of Directors declared a cash
dividend of P10.00 per share to shareholders of record of December 30, 2014 payable on January
15, 2015.

SCRIP DIVIDENDS
549
Scrip dividends are, in fact, deferred cash dividends. A scrip dividend is declared when the
corporation has sufficient Retained Earnings balance but not sufficient funds at that time for a
cash dividend. Scrip dividends consist of a written promise to pay certain amounts at some future
date. The payment normally includes the principal amount and an interest at a specified date
The entries to record the declaration and subsequent payment of scrip dividends follow:

PROPERTY DIVIDENDS
Dividends distributable in the form of non-cash assets are known as property dividend. Property
distributed normally takes the form of assets that can be easily divided or allocated among
shareholders such as stocks of other companies owned by the corporation. According to IFRIC
17 Distribution of Non-Cash Assets to Owners, the following rules shall apply in accounting
for distribution of non-cash assets to owners as dividends:

An entity shall measure a liability to distribute noncash assets as a dividend to its owners
at the fair value of the assets to be distributed (par. 11)
- This means that Retained Earnings and Property Dividends Payable will be
recorded at the fair value of the assets to be distributed.

At the end of each reporting period and at the date of settlement, the entity shall review
and adjust the carrying amount of the dividend payable, with any changes in the carrying
amount of the dividend payable recognized in equity as adjustments to the amount of the
distribution (par. 13)
- This means that Retained Earnings and Property Dividends Payable balances will
be adjusted for the change in the previously recorded fair value of the assets.
- The required valuation /measurement of the assets to be distributed at the end of
each reporting period as provided in related PAS or PFRS should also be applied.

When an entity settles the dividend payable, it shall recognize the difference, if any,
between the carrying amount of the assets to be distributed and the carrying amount of
the dividend payable in profit or loss (par 14)
- This means that the difference between the carrying amount of the Property
Dividends Payable and the carrying amount of the assets to be distributed as gain
or loss to be reported in the statement of comprehensive income.
The entry to record the declaration of dividends is as follows:

Illustrative Problem D: Fortune Corp. has 10,000 shares of P100 par value ordinary share
capital outstanding as of December 1, 2014. On this date, the Board of Director declared a
property dividend distributable to shareholders of record of December 30, 2014 payable on
January 15, 2015. The corporation will distribute five shares of Luck Corp. for every share of
Fortune Corp, owned by the shareholders. Each share of Luck Corp. has a carrying value of P10
on the date of declaration, which is also its fair value on the date of declaration and on the date of
distribution.

It should be noted that the declaration and payment or distribution of cash dividends scrip
dividends and property dividends do not affect the corporation's number of capital shares issued
and outstanding. This means that the total number of capital shares issued and outstanding before
the dividend declaration and payment or distribution shall be the s as total number of capital
shares issued and outstanding after the dividend declaration and payment or distribution.
However, there is a decrease in the total assets and total retained earnings of the corporation.
SHARE CAPITAL DIVIDENDS (STOCK DIVIDENDS)
A share capital dividend (stock dividend) is a distribution to shareholders in the form of
corporation's own share capital (stock). Thus, when Fortune Corp. distributes Fortune Corp.
shares to its shareholders, it is distributing share capital or stock dividends.
This type of dividend does not affect total assets and total shareholders' equity, rather it simply
represents a transfer of capital from retained earnings to contributed capital. Hence, total
shareholders' equity before and after the declaration and distribution of share capital dividends
are the same. On the other hand, retained earnings is decreased while contributed capital is
increased as a result of the declaration and distribution of share capital dividends.
In recording the declaration of a share capital dividend, a distinction should be made between a
small and a large stock dividend. A share capital dividend representing less than 20 % of the
outstanding shares is considered a small share capital dividend A share capital dividend
representing 20 % or more of the outstanding shares is considered a large share capital dividend
Under a small share capital dividend, retained earnings is debited for the fair value of the share
capital on the date of declaration; under a large share capital dividend, retained earnings is
debited for the par or stated value of the share capital.

large, follow:

The account Share Capital (Stock) Dividend Distributable is credited for the par or stated value
of the shares to be distributed regardless of whether the share capital dividend is small or large.
This account is reported on the statement of financial position under the shareholders' equity
section as part of Contributed Capital. It is properly shown as addition to the share capital
outstanding.
The account Paid-In Capital from Share Capital Dividend is credited for the excess of fair market
value of the share over its par or stated value. This account is reported on the statement of
financial position under the shareholders' equity section as part of additional paid-in capital.
Illustrative Problem E: Fortune Corp. has 10,000 shares of P100 par value ordinary share
capital outstanding as of December 1, 2014. On this date, the Board of Directors declared a share
capital dividend distributable to shareholders of record of December 30 2014 payable on January
15, 2015. The fair market value of Fortune Corp. share capital on December I is P105; on
December 30, Pl10; on January 15, P106

The declaration and distribution of share capital dividends, whether small or large. increases the
number of capital shares outstanding.
In all of the different types of dividends discussed, it should be noted that only the outstanding
capital shares are entitled to dividends.
DIVIDENDS ON PREFERENCE SHARES
When dividends are paid, the dividend requirements on preference shares must be paid before
any payment can be made to ordinary shareholders. The required dividends depend upon the type
of preference shares issued by the corporation.
The preference shares may be:
1. Cumulative- preference shareholders are entitled to the payment of past years' unpaid
dividends or dividends in arrears before the payment of current year's dividends.
2. Noncumulative - preference shareholders are not entitled to payment of dividends in
arrears, they are entitled to current year's dividends only.
3. Participating- preference shareholders are entitled to additional dividends after the
payment of regular dividends to both the preference and ordinary shareholders.
If the preference shares are fully participating, then the excess dividend is allocated
proportionately to the two classes of share capital based on their total par value.
555
However, if the preference shares are participating up to a certain percentage only, a
comparison should be made between the maximum allowed participation and the
amount based on full participation. The amount given to the preference shareholders is
the lower of the two amounts.
4. Nonparticipating - preference shareholders are not entitled to any dividend in excess of
the regular rate. Hence, the dividends on preference shares is limited only to the regular
rate even if the amount of dividend distributions increases. The entire dividend balance
after the preference shareholders get their regular dividend rate is given to the ordinary
shareholders.
Illustrative Problem F: The Fortune Corp. declared and paid cash dividends for the last three
years as follows: 2012 P120.000; 2013 - P200.000; 2014 - P300.000 dividends were paid for two
years prior to 2012. The capital structure of the company the last three years follows:
10% Preference share capital, P100 par, 5,000 shares outstanding
P500,000
Ordinary share capital, P50 par, 5.000 shares outstanding
250,000
The annual dividend requirement on preference shares is P50,000 or P10 per share (i.e., P100 par
x 10% x 5,000 shares outstanding). At the beginning of 2012, dividends are in arrears (unpaid
dividends of prior years) for two years.
The distribution of dividends to the preference and ordinary shareholders under different
independent cases are presented below and on the next pages.
Case 1 – The preferences shares are noncumulative and nonparticipating.

Note: since the preference shares are noncumulative, the dividends in arrears are ignored and
preference shareholders are entitled to the current year’s dividend only. Since the shares are
also nonparticipating, the entire balance is given to ordinary shareholders; preference shares
are not entitled to any dividend in excess of the 10%
556
rate. Hence, the dividend per share on preference share is limited to P10 only, even if the total
amount of distributed dividends increases.
Case 2 – The preference shares are cumulative but nonparticipating.

Note: Since the preference shares are participating up to a certain percentage only, a
comparison should be made between the maximum allowed participation and the amount based
on full participation. The amount to be given on the preference shareholders is the lower of the
two amounts. Alternatively, the amount to be allocated to the preference shares is computed by
multiplying the total par value of the preference shares by the lower of the full participation rate
or the maximum participation rate. The full participation rate is computed as follows:
Excess dividends to be distributed
Full participation rate= Total par value of preference and ordinary pages
Using the data in Case 5, the full participation rate for 2012, 2013, and 2014 are as follows:
2012
2013
2014
45,000/750,000
125,000/750,000
225,000/750,000
6.00%
16.67%
30.00%
Hence, in 2012, the 6% rate will be used; in 2013 and 2014 the 7% rate will be used.
BOOK VALUE PER SHARE
Book value per share is the peso equity in corporate capital of each share capital. It is the amount
that would be paid on each share owned by a shareholder in case of corporate liquidation
assuming the amount available to shareholders is exactly the same as the total shareholders’
equity.
The calculation of book value per share depends on how many classes of share capital are
outstanding. If there is only one class of share capital outstanding, book value per share is
calculated by dividing the total shareholders’ equity by the number of shares outstanding.
Subscribed shares, if any, should be added to the outstanding shares.
When more than one class of share capital are outstanding, the rights of the different classes of
shareholders should be taken into consideration. Preference shareholders have priority over
ordinary shareholders as to distribution of assets upon corporate liquidation.
560
Thus the equity identified with the preference share capital should be determined first. The
balance of the shareholders’ equity after deducting the equity of preference shareholders
represents the equity of the ordinary shareholders. Equity identified with each class of share
capital divided by the number of shares outstanding yields the book value per share.
EQUITY IDENTIFIED WITH PREFERENCE SHARE CAPITAL. The equity of the holders
of preference shares generally consists of the liquidation value of the share and any claim on
dividends. Liquidation value of the share capital refers to the amount payable to preference
shareholders for every share owned in case of corporate liquidation. It is usually equal to or more
than the par value of the share capital.
EQUITY IDENTIFIED WITH ORDINARY SHARE CAPITAL. The equity of the holders of
ordinary share capital, also known as residual equity, is the excess of total shareholders’ equity
over the equity identified with preference share capital. It represents the amount available to
ordinary shareholders in case of corporate liquidation.
Illustrative Problem G: On December 31, 2014, the shareholders’ equity section of the
statement of financial position of Lucky Corp. appears as follows:

EARNINGS PER SHARE
The earnings per share (EPS) is the amount earned during a given period on each ordinary share
outstanding. PAS 33 provides the guidelines in the computation of both basic and dilutive
earnings per share. However, this chapter is focused only on the computation of basic EPS.
The provisions of PAS 33 shall be applied in the computation of earnings per share of the
following entities:
1. those whose ordinary shares or potential ordinary shares are publicly traded
2. those that are in the process of issuing ordinary shares or potential ordinary shares
3. those that voluntarily disclose earnings per share
The earnings per share information is presented in the statement of comprehensive income, even
if the amount is negative.
A potential ordinary share is a financial instrument or other contract that may entitle its holders
to ordinary shares, such as ordinary share warrants and convertible preference shares. A holder
of convertible preference shares is given the privilege of exchanging the preference shares for
ordinary shares.
Basic earnings per share shall be computed as follows:
1. There is only one class of share capital outstanding (that is, ordinary shares)
EPS = Profit/ outstanding ordinary shares
562
2. There are two classes of share capital outstanding (that is, ordinary shares and preference
shares)
Profit or loss per income statement
Less Dividends on preference shares
(Total par value of preference shares x dividend rate)
Profit attributable to ordinary shares
xxx

Earnings per share
(Profit attributable to ordinary shares/ outstanding shares) xxx
If the preference shares are cumulative, the dividends required for the period will be
deducted, whether they are declared or not. However, if the preference shares are noncumulative, only dividends declared in respect of the period will be deducted.
The earnings per share figure is very useful to investors and prospective investors in evaluating
the results of operations of a business in order to make investment decisions. It is also considered
as a significant determinant of the market price of the share capital.
Illustrative Problem H: For the year ended December 31, 2014, the Brilliant Corp. reported
profit of P450,000.
Earnings per share computation will be made using three independent cases.

APPROPRIATION ON RETAINED EARNINGS
As mentioned in the earlier part of this chapter, Appropriated Retained Earnings is that portion of
retained earnings set aside for a special or specific purpose. Appropriation of retained earnings
set aside for a special or specific purpose. Appropriation of retained earnings reduces the amount
available for distribution as dividends to shareholders. However, the total retained earnings
remains unchanged.
There are three types of appropriations to Retained Earnings which are acceptable and these are
discussed in the succeeding paragraphs.
APPROPRIATIONS TO REPORT LEGAL RESTRICTIONS ON RETAINED EARNINGS.
When a company reacquires its own shares, the law requires that Retained Earnings equal to the
cost of the shares reacquired (known as treasury shares) be appropriated or set aside. This is done
to maintain at original or stated balances the resources of the business and the shareholders’
equity. The appropriated balance is reverted to unappropriated classification upon reissuance of
the reacquired shares.
APPROPRIATIONS TO REPORT CONTRACTUAL RESTRICTIONS ON RETAINED
EARNINGS. Agreements with creditors or shareholders may provide for retention of a portion
of Retained Earnings within the company. The appropriations of Retained Earnings is made to
protect the interest of creditors and shareholders and to assure redemption of the securities they
hold. The appropriation balance is reverted back to unappropriated balance upon payment of the
obligation. Examples of appropriations under this classification are Appropriation for Bond
Redemption and Appropriation for Preference Share Capital Redemption.
APPROPRIATIONS TO REPORT DISCRETIONARY ACTION BY THE BOARD OF
DIRECTORS IN THE PRESENTATION OF RETAINED EARNINGS. A portion of the
Retained Earnings may be presented in a manner disclosing the actual use or planned use in the
future of the resources as authorized by the board of directors. Examples of appropriations under
this classification are Appropriation for Plant Expansion and Appropriation for General
Contingencies.

REVIEW of the LEARNING OBJECTIVES
1.
Explain the preparation of work sheet, adjusting entries, and closing entries for a
corporation. The work sheet prepared for a corporation is similar to the work sheet
prepared for a sole proprietorship and a partnership. It normally contains eight columns
and is prepared to facilitate the preparation of financial statements. The adjusting entries
include adjustment for income tax which is 35% of profit before income tax. In a
corporation, the income or loss of the company is transferred to Retained Earnings,
which is also a capital account.
2.
Explain the components of the shareholders’ equity section of the statement of
financial position. The capital section of the statement of financial position (balance
sheet) of a corporation is called “Shareholders’ Equity” section. It is generally composed
of the following: (1) Contributed Capital, which represents capital arising from
contributions by shareholders and is subdivided into Share Capital and Additional Paid-in
Capital; and (2) Retained Earnings, which represents capital arising from operations of
the business. In some instances, corporations may have capital adjustment accounts such
as Revaluation Surplus. These accounts are reported separately from Contributed Capital
and Retained Earnings.
3.
Prepare the financial statements of a corporation, specifically the statement of changes
in shareholders’ equity. A corporation has also four basic financial statements, balance
sheet or statement of financial position, income statement, statement of cash flows, and
statement of changes in shareholders’ equity. The statement of changes in shareholders’
equity shows transactions that have caused an increase or a decrease in Total
Shareholders’ Equity during the period, such as distribution of dividends and profit of the
year.
4.
Identify the different types of dividends and compute amount of dividends to be
distributed to preference and ordinary shareholders. Dividends are distribution of
corporate income to the shareholders. Dividends may be distributed in form of cash, noncash assets or shares of stock of the
565
corporation. On the date of declaration, Retained Earnings account is debited, thereby
reducing its balance. The amount debited to Retained Earnings depends on the type of
dividend declared. When two classes of share capital are outstanding, the total amount of
dividends declared should be allocate properly taking into account the type of preference
shares outstanding.
5.
Discuss the computation of book value per share and earnings per share. Book value
per share is the peso equity in corporate capital of each share capital. It represents the
amount that a shareholder will receive for every share owned in case of corporate
liquidation. If there is only class of share capital outstanding, it is computed by dividing
the total shareholders’ equity by the total number of outstanding shares. Book value per
share is then computed by dividing the equity identified with each class of stock by the
total number of outstanding shares per class.
The earnings per share (EPS) is the amount earned during a given period on each
ordinary share outstanding. When there is only one class of share capital outstanding, it is
computed by dividing the net income or the profit of the company by the number of
outstanding ordinary shares. When there are two classes of share capital outstanding, the
earnings allocated to the ordinary shares is first computed by deducting the earnings
identified with the preference shares. The earnings per share is then calculated by
dividing the earnings allocated to the ordinary shares by the number of outstanding
ordinary shares.
6.
Identify and explain the different types of retained earnings appropriations.
Appropriation of Retained Earnings is setting aside a portion of Retained Earnings for a
specific or special purpose and such appropriation reduces the amount of Retained
Earnings available to shareholders or dividends. Retained Earnings may be appropriated
for the following purposes: (1) to meet legal requirements; (2) to meet contractual
requirements; and (3) to meet discretionary action by the board of directors.

TYPES OF SHARE CAPITAL TRANSACTIONS
When a share capital (capital stock is fully paid, a stock certificate is issued to the shareholder and the
stock becomes outstanding. Subsequent to the original issuance, various capital share transactions may
take place. These transactions may cause a change in total shareholders’ equity or in the number of shares
outstanding. These share capital transactions include the following:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
Share capital retirement
2. Share capital reacquisition
Conversion of preference shares into ordinary shares
Share (stock) split
Recapitalization
390
SHARE CAPITAL RETIREMENT
594
Share capital may be reacquired and formally retired by using the issuing corporation. Such retirement
calls for the cancelation of the stock certificate, cancellation of the share capital account and the
cancellation of the related additional paid-in capital from the original issuance of the stock. If the
retirement price is greater than the original issuance price, Retained Earnings is less than the original
issuance price, Paid-in Capital from the retirement of Share Capital is credited for the difference. The
difference between the retirement price and the original issuance rice of the share capital should not be
recognized as gain or loss. The excess of the original issuance price over the retirement price of the share
capital should not be credited to Retained Earnings.
The retirement of share capital will reduce both the number of shares issued and the number of shares
outstanding.
Illustrative Problem A: the shareholders’ equity section of the statement of financial position of CBA
Co. contains the following:
Preference share capital, P100 par, 10,000shares
P1,000,000
Preference share premium
250,000
Retained Earnings
800,000
Based on the above data, the original issuance price of each preference share is P125, that is, the par value
of P100 per share and the share premium of P25 per share (P250,000/10,000shares).
One thousand (1,000) shares of preference share capital were reacquired and retired. Entries to record the
retirement using two independent cases follow:
Case 1 - The retirement price is P110
Preference Share Capital
100,000
Preference Share Premium
25,000
Cash
110,000
Paid-In Capital from Retirement

15,000
1,000sh x P100 = P100,000
1,000sh x P25 = P25,000
1,000sh x P110 = P110,000
1,000sh x P15 = P15,000
400
595
Case 2- The retirement price is P130 per share
Preference Share Capital
100000
Preference Share Premium
25000
Retained Earnings
5000
Cash
130000
1000 sh × P100= P100000
1000 sh × P25 = P25000
1000 sh × P5 = P5000
1000 sh × P130= 130000
The debit to Retained Earnings of P5000 or P5.00 for every share retired is the excess of the
retirement price of P130 over the original issuance price of P125
SHARE CAPITAL REACQUISITION (TREASURY SHARES)
The issuing corporation sometimes reacquires shares issued to shareholders either by purchase or
donation. Such shares are being held in the name of the corporation and they are called treasury
shares. The company may reissue these shares at some future date as deemed necessary.
The practice of reacquiring one's own capital share is done for the following reasons:
1. To obtain shares to be used in acquiring plant assets.
2. To improve earnings per share by reducing the number of shares outstanding.
3. To invest excess temporarily.
4. To support the market price of the share capital.
5. To increase the ratio of liabilities to shareholders equity.
6. To obtain shares for conversion to other securities such as preferen ce share capital.
REACQUISITION BY PURCHASE
Treasury shares may be acquired by purchase and the reacquisition will be accounted for using
the cost method.
Under the cost method, the reacquired shares are viewed as capital elements awaiting ultimate
disposition. Treasury shares are recorded at cost. When the shares are reissued at more than cost,
the indicated gain is credited to an additional paid-in capital account Paid-In Capital from Sale
of Treasury Shares. When the shares are reissued at more than cost, the indicated loss is debited
to the following accounts in the order shown below:
(a) Additional paid-in capital from treasury share transactions of the same class of share capital,
and
(b) Retained earnings
596
The balance of the treasury shares account is reported as a deduction from the sum of the total
contributed capital and retained earnings.
The reacquisition of a company's own share reduces the number of outstanding shares but
does not affect the number of issued shares. Treasury shares are not entitled to receipt of
dividends because they are not outstanding. Retained Earnings, however, must be appropriated
equal to the cost of the treasury shares acquired.

REACQUISITION BY DONATION
Treasury shares may be acquired through donation by shareholders. This practice is done by
shareholders to enable the company to increase its working capital and at the same time maintain
their proportionate ownership interests.
Upon receipt of capital shares donation, a memorandum entry is made stating the number of
shares received. Subsequent sale of donated shares is recorded by debiting Cash and crediting
Donated Capital or Paid-in Capital from Donated Shares for the entire proceeds.
Alternatively, the receipt and the subsequent sale of the donated shares may be recorded as
follows:
Upon receipt
Treasury Shares
xxx
Donated Capital
xxx
(amount recorded is the fair value of the shares on the date of donation)
Upon sale of donated shares at more than recorded cost

CONVERSION OF PREFERENCE SHARES INTO ORDINARY SHARES
Convertible preference shares can be converted into ordinary shares at the option of the holder.
This type of preference share capital can be sold at a higher price but a lower dividend rate
because of its conversion privilege.
The accounting for conversion of preference shares into ordinary shares is similar to retirement
of share capital. Account balances related to the preference shares converted are cancelled and
the issuance of ordinary shares is recorded. An indicated gain from conversion is credited to
Paid-in Capital from Conversion of Preference Shares into Ordinary Shares; an indicated loss
from conversion is debited to Retained Earnings

Just like in the retirement of share capital and acquisition of treasury shares, no gain or loss is
recognized on the conversion of preference shares into ordinary shares.
SHARE (STOCK) SPLITS AND REVERSE SHARE (STOCK) SPLITS
When the market price of the shares is high and the corporation feels that a lower price will
result in a wider distribution of ownership, it may authorize the replacement of outstanding
shares by a larger number of shares. The increase in the number of shares outstanding in this
manner is called share (stock) split or share split-up. For instance, 10000 ordinary shares with a
par value of P10 are replaced by 20000 ordinary shares with a par value of P5. This type of
transaction is described as a share split of 2, for 1- two new shares are issued in exchange for one
old share. The par value is subsequently reduced to P5 (i.e, p10/2)
The reverse procedure, that is, the replacement of shares outstanding by a smaller number of
shares with an increase in the par value, is called reverse share split or share split down. This is
desirable when the market price of the shares is low and it is felt that assigning a higher price for
the shares offers certain advantages. For instance, 10000 ordinary shares with a par value of P10
are replaced by 5000 ordinary shares with a par value of 20. This type of transaction is described
as a share split of 1 for 2.- one new share is issued in exchange for two old shares. The par value
is subsequently increased to P20 (ie. P10 × 2)
A share split is recorded by a memorandum entry. The entry should state the new number of
shares and the new par value of the shares. Alternatively, a journal entry may be prepared
canceling the old issue and recording the new issue. Using the example in the first paragraph, the
share split of 2 for 1 may be recorded as follows:
Ordinary Share Capital, P10 par
100000
Ordinary Share Capital P5 par
100000
It should be noted that a share split will not affect total shareholder's equity nir total
share capital. It will simply change the number of shares outstanding and the par value per share
of stock.
RECAPITALIZATION
Corporate recapitalization takes place when an entire issue of share capital is changed by
appropriate action of the corporation. The typical types of recapitalization are as follows:
1. Change from par to no-par share capital and vice versa
2. Reduction in the par or stated value of share capital
600
Recapitalization is normally undertaken to establish an additional paid-in capital account that
will be used in capital restructuring. This type of transaction requires the setting up of capital
accounts related to the new issue and the cancellation of account balance related to the old issue.
(Capital restructuring will be discussed in a higher accounting subject.)

REVIEW OF LEARNING OBJECTIVES
1. Identify and explain the various share capital transactions subsequent to original
issuance. Share capital transactions subsequent to original issuance include the following: (1)
share capital retirement; (2) share capital REACQUISITION; (3) conversion of preference shares
into ordinary shares; (4) share (stock) split; and (5) recapitalization. Two major rules apply on all
these transactions: (1) no gain or loss is reported in the income statement arising from these
transactions, (2) indicated loss on share capital transactions may be charged against retained
earnings, but indicated gain cannot be credited to retained earnings. Indicated gain should be
credited to additional paid-in capital.
2. Explain the methods of acquiring and accounting for treasury shares. Treasury shares are
shares issued to the shareholders and subsequently reacquired by the
601
corporation with the intention of reissuing them. Treasury shares may be acquired either by
purchase or by donation. Transactions relating to treasury shares shall be accounted for using the
cost method. Under the cost method, treasury shares is reported on the statement of financial
position as a deduction from total shareholders’ equity.
GLOSSARY OF ACCOUNTING TERMINOLOGIES

Reverse share split- replacement of outstanding shares by a smaller number of shares with a
proportionate increase in the par or stated value of the share capital. It is also known as share
split-down.
Share split- replacement of outstanding shares by a greater number of shares with a
proportionate decrease in the par or stated value of the share capital. It is also known as share
split-up. Treasury shares- capital shares issued to shareholders and subsequently reacquired by
the corporation with the intention of reissuing them.

INTRODUCTION
As discussed in Chapter 1, there are two main groups of users of accounting information: (1)
internal users and (2) external users. The external users do not have access to the day to day
operations of an entit; hence they rely heavily on the financial reports provided to them. It is very
important, therefore, that these reports be realiable and timely so that those who use them can
make sound sound decisions and reason choices among alternative courses of action.
The field of accounting that specializes in giving reports to external users is financial accounting.
The financial reports that are given to them are called general-purpose financial statements.
General purpose financial statements are financial statements that are intended to meet the
common needs of users who are not in a position to demand reports customized to their specific
information needs.
The presentation of financial statements is guided by PAS 1 which sets out the basis for the
presentation of financial statements to ensure the comparability with previous periods and with
other entities. PAS 1 also identifies the minimum content of what should be included in the
financial statements and the guidelines as to their structure.
OBJECTIVE OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The objective of general purpose financial statements is to provide information about the
financial position, financial performance and cash flows of an entity that is useful to a wide
range of users in making economic decisions.
DEFINITION AND NATURE OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Financial statements are a structured representation of the financial position and financial
performance of an entity. They show the assets, liabilities, and equity of an entity as of a
particular date. They also show the income earned and expenses incurred by an entity during a
given period.
465
466
Financial statements are the end product of the accounting process. The financial statements
are the final output of the accounting process. They can be prepared only after the transactions
have been processed and the necessary adjusting entries are journalized and posted
Financial statements show the results of the management's stewardship of the resources
entrusted to it. The owners of an entity entrust to management the utilization of company
resources to achieve both short-term and long-term goals of the entity. They are expected to
maximize the earnings potential of these resources and provide rate of
return on their use that is acceptable to the investors and other stakeholders. The financial
statements show the performance of management vis-é-vis the expectations of the investors or
owners.
Financial statements are the means by which the information accumulated and processed in
financial accounting is periodically communicated to those who use it. The stakeholders of an
entity are informed of the financial position and the performance of an entity ‘through the
financial statements.
The preparation and presentation of financial statements is a responsibility of management.
The Board of Directors reviews and approves the financial statements before these are submitted
to the ' shareholders of the entity. A management’s representation letter is attached to the
published financial statements. .
COMPONENTS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
According to PAS -1 (revised (2011), a complete set of-financial statement comprises:





a statement of financial position (balance sheet)
a statement of comprehensive income (alternatively, an entity may prepare a separate
income statement and a separate statement of other comprehensive income)
a statement of changes in equity
a statement of cash flows; and
notes, Comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory
notes.
466
467


Some entities,. however, present other reports in addition to those stated above. Examples
are the following:
a financial review by management that describes. and explains the main features of the
entity’ 8 financial performance and financial position and the principal uncertainties it
faces;
environmental reports and value added statements, particularly in industries 'in which
environmental factors are significant and when employees are considered an important
user group.
These reports, which are presented outside of the financial statements, are outside of the
scope of PAS 1.
OVERALL CONSIDERATIONS IN THE PREPARATION AND PRESENTATION OF
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
PAS 1 identifies eight (8) basic considerations when preparing and presenting financial
statements. These considerations are described briefly below.
Fair presentation and compliance with PFRSs / IFRSs. Financial statements shall present fairly
the financial position, performance and cash flows of an entity. Fair presentation requires the
faithful representation of the effects of transactions, other events and conditions in accordance
with the definitions and recognition criteria for assets, liabilities, income and expenses set out in
the Framework. The application of PFRSs/IFRSS, with additional disclosure when necessary, is
presumed to result in financial statements that achieve fair presentation. (PAS 1, par. 15)
Going concern. Financial statements shall be prepared on a going concern basis unless
management either intends to liquidate the entity or to cease trading, or has no realistic
alternative but to do so. This means that an entity is assumed to have a continuity of life, unless
there is an evidence to the contrary. Any uncertainties that may cast doubt as to the ability of the
entity to continue as a going concern, however, should be properly disclosed. An example of
application of going concern is the use of accrual basis of accounting. (PAS 1, par. 25)
Accrual basis of accounting. An entity shall prepare its financial statements , except for cash
flow information, using the accrual basis of accounting. Under the accrual basis of accounting,
income and expenses are recognized in the period in which they relate rather ' than when the cash
467
468
is received or paid. For example, sales on account made in 2014 that will be collected in 2015 is
recognized as sales in 2014. An insurance premium paid in 2014 covering the period 2015 is
recognized as expense in 2015; the payment is recognized as prepaid expense at the end of 2014
(PAS 1, par. 27)
Frequency of reporting. An entity shall present a complete set of financial statements (including
comparative information) at least annually. An entity chooses its own annual accounting Period it can adopt the calendar year or adopt a fiscal year The calendar year starts January 1 and ends
December 31 The adoption of a fiscal year may depend on the nature of business or operations of
the entity. A school for mstance may adopt an accounting period that starts June 1 and ends May
31 to coincide with the start and end of one school year. (PAS 1, par.36)
Materiality and aggregation. Each material class of similar items shall be presented separately
in the financial statements Items of dissimilar nature or function shall be presented separately
unless they are immaterial. For example cash on hand and cash deposited in various banks may
be aggregated and reported under a Single line item “Cash on hand and in banks” but trade
receivables are presented separately from nontrade receivables because of their dissimilar nature.
An entity with several prepaid items which are immaterial in amount may present these
prepayments under the line item “prepaid expenses”. (PAS 1, par. 29)
Offsetting. As a general rule, assets and liabilities, and income and expenses shall not be offset
unless required or permitted by a Standard or an Interpretation. Offsetting is deducting the
balance of an asset account from the balance of a liability account and reporting only the net
amount in the statement of financial position or deducting the balance of an income account from
the balance of an expense account and reporting only the net amount in the statement of
comprehensive income. For instance, bonds payable balance of P5 m1llion is deducted from
bond sinking fund balance of P3 million and reporting only the net amount of P2 million for
bonds payable or deducting uncollectible accounts of P1 million from sales of P75 million and
reporting only the net sales of P74 million. As a general rule, these offsetting examples are not
allowed (PAS 1 par 32) However some Standards may allow offsetting, such as the following:
(PAS 1, par. 34)

Gains and losses on disposal of. non-current assets, including investments and operating
assets are reported by deducting from the proceeds on disposal the carrying amount of the
asset and related selling expense. For example an old equipment with a carrying amount
of P250,000 was sold for P300,000 with related disposal costs of P20,000. The carrying
amount of P250,000 IS deducted from the proceeds from disposal of P280,000 and a gain
of P30,000 is reported in the statement of comprehensive income.
468
469

Gains and losses from a group of similar transactions are reported on a net basis, for
example, foreign exchange gains and losses or gains and losses arising on financial
instruments held for trading.
Consistency of presentation. To aid comparability of financial statement of one period with
other periods (intra comparability) or of one entity with other entities (inter comparability), the
presentation and classification of financial statement shall be retained from one period to the next
unless:

l it is apparent, following a significant change in the nature of the entity's operations or a
review of it’s financial statements, that another presentation of classification would be
more appropriate having regard to the criteria set for the selection and application of
accounting policies in PAS 8; or
 a Standard or Interpretation requires a change in presentation.
An entity changes the presentation of financial statements only if the changed presentation
provides information that is reliable and is more relevant to users of the financial statements and
the revised structure is likely to continue, so that comparability is not impaired. (PAS 1, par. 45)
Comparative information. Comparative information shall be disclosed in respect of t he
previous period for all amounts reported in the financial statements. Comparative information
shall be included for narrative and descriptive information when it is relevant to an
understanding of the current period’s financial statements. As a minimum requirement, financial
statements for two dates or two periods must be presented for comparative purposes.
If adjustments to prior periods have been made as a result of a change in accounting policy or of
correction of errors, a statement of financial condition as of the beginning of the period should be
presented. (PAS 1, par. 38)
STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL POSITION (BALANCE SHEET)
The objective of the statement of financial position is to report the financial condition or position
of an entity at a particular date. It shows the entity’s assets, liabilities, and equity-at a point in
time.
The statement of financial position is very useful to the financial statement users. It descn'bes the
resources of the entity that are available sources of future cash flows, such as short-term
investments, receivables and inventories. It contains information that is useful in assessing the
469
470
liquidity and solvency of an entity. Liquidity is the entity’s ability to pay its obligations or
liabilities which are currently due. Solvency is the entity’s ability to pay both its current and
noncurrent obligations. However, the statement of financial position has certain limitations as
follows:

There is no consistency as to the basis of measurement- some assets are reported at
historical cost while other assets are reported at fair value. For example, property, plant
and equipment may be reported at historical cost while long-term investments and
investment property are reported at fair value.
 There are some company assets which are not reported on the balance sheet- these
include employees of an entity, self-generated intangible assets such as mastheads and
brand names (PAS 38 Intangible Assets).
The statement of financial position has the following three primary elements:
 assets;
 liabilities; and
 Equity
These three elements are discussed in details in the succeeding paragraphs.
ASSETS
Definition and characteristics. Assets are defined in the Conceptual Framework for Financial
Reporting, paragraph 4.4, as resources controlled by the entity as a result of past events and from
which future economic benefits are expected to flow to the entity.
An asset has the following characteristics:

It is controlled by an entity -the entity has the right to obtain and control the benefits
expected from the use of the asset. In determining the existence of an asset, the right of
ownership of an asset is not essential. For instance, in the case of finance lease, the
property is owned by the lessor but is reported as an asset by the lessee.

It is a result of past event - the asset arises from transaction Which occurred m the past.

It represents future economic benefits - the asset has the potential to contribute, directly
or indirectly, to the flow of cash and cash equivalents to the entity. Paragraph 4.10 of the
470
471
F framework states that the economic benefits may flow to the entity in various ways, as
follows:
o the asset may be used singly or in combination with other assets in the
production of goods or services to be sold by the entity.
o the asset may be exchanged for other assets
o the asset may used to settle a liability
o the asset may be distributed to the owners of the entity .

It has a cost or value- the asset has a cost or a value that is measured in terms of money.
Recognition. An asset is recognized when
o it is probable that the future economic benefits will flow to the entity; and
o the asset has a cost or value that can be measured reliable.
Classification. Assets are classified or grouped according to common characteristics, such as
operating and non-operating assets, financial and non-financial assets, and current and
noncurrent assets. The most dominant form of distinction is the current versus the non-current
classification of both assets and liabilities.
Current assets. PAS 1, paragraph 66 states that an asset shall be classified as current when it
satisfies any of the following criteria:
o it is expected to be realised in, or is intended for sale or consumption in, the entity’s
normal operating cycle (e. g. trade receivables, inventories and prepaid expenses);
o it is held primarily for the purpose of trading (e. g. trading securities);
o it is expected to be realised within twelve months after reporting period (e. g. nontrade
receivables collectible within one year); or
o it is cash or a cash equivalent (as defined in PAS 7 Statement of Cash Flows) unless it is
restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least
twelve months after the balance sheet date (e. g. cash on hand and in bank certificates of time
deposits with a term 0fthree months or less).
The normal operating cycle of an entity refers to the period of time necessary to convert
cash to inventories, inventories to receivables, and receivables back to cash. In the Case
of a manufacturing company, it refers to the period of time necessary to convert cash to
raw materials, raw materials to finished product, finished product to receivables, and
receivables back to cash. This period can be equal to, shorter than, or longer than One
Year. When the normal operating cycle of an entity is not clearly identif1able,it1S
assumed to be twelve (12) months or one year.
471
472
Current assets normally include the following:
o Cash and cash equivalents. Cash is anything that can be used as a medium of
exchange and which is acceptable by bank at face value upon deposit. Cash
includes cash on hand and in banks that is available for current operations. Cash
may be in the form of bills and coins, personal checks, manager’s checks
cashier’s checks, bank drafts, and money orders. Cash on hand includes
undeposited collections, petty cash fund and change fund. Cash in bank includes
cash in savings and checking accounts.
Cash equivalents are short-term, highly liquid investments that 'are readily
convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant
risk of changes in value. Normally, an investment qualities as cash equivalent
when it matures in three months or less from the date of acquisition. An example
of cash equivalent is time deposit with a term of three months or less.
o Short-term investments. These are liquid investments that do not qualify as Cash
equivalents, such as time deposit with a term of more than three months and
investment in equity or debt securities intended to be disposed within twelve (12)
months.
o Trade notes and accounts receivables. Trade receivables are those arising from
sale of goods or services.. These receivables are always reported as current assets
because they are expected to be realized in cash within one year or within the
normal operating cycle. Accounts receivable are unsecured open accounts and are
usually due 1n 30 to 60 days, depending on the credit terms offered to customers.
Notes receivable are evidenced by written promise to pay a certain amount of
money at a certain date.
o Nontrade notes and accounts receivable. These are receivables arising from
sources other than sale of goods or services, such as share subscription
receivable, interest receivable, deposit with supplier for future delivery of goods
Nontrade notes and accounts receivable are reported as current assets if they are
due within one year.
o Inventories. . Inventories are assets: (a) held for sale in the ordinary course of
business; (b) in the process of production for such sale; or (c) in the form of
materials or supplies to be consumed in the production process or in the rendering
of services. In a merchandising company, its inventory includes merchandise
acquired for sale. In a manufacturing company, its inventories include finished
472
473
goods, work in process, and raw materials. In a service company, its inventory
includes work in progress. If the company’s inventories include biological assets,
they are reported as a separate line item.
o Prepaid expenses. Prepaid expenses are expenses obtained or paid in advance,
such as office and store supplies, prepaid insurance and prepaid rent However, if
the prepayment covers a period of more than one year, a portion of the
prepayment is noncurrent asset. For instance, if an entity paid rent three years in
advance, the prepayment for the first year is reported as current asset and the
prepayment for the next two years is reported as non-current asset.
Non-current assets. PAS 1 states that all assets that do not qualify as current assets
are non-current assets. Non-current assets include long-term investments, property,
plant and equipment, intangible assets, and investment property.
o Long-term investments. Long-term investments include investment in equity
and debt securities of other corporations, land held for speculation, and cash
set aside for special purposes (such as bond sinking fund). These assets are
classified as non-current because management does not intend to convert
them into cash within one year.
o Property, plant and equipment. Property, plant and equipment defined in
PAS 16, par. 6 as tangible items that are: (a) ‘held for use in the production or
supply of goods or services or for administrative purposes; and (b) are
expected to be used during more than one period. Examples of assets under
this classification are land, buildings, store and office equipment, delivery
equipment, and machinery.
o Intangible assets. Intangible assets are defined in PAS 38, par. 8 as
identifiable non-monetary assets without physical substance. Intangible assets
include copyright, franchise, and patents. A copyright is a right granted to an
author or an artist for the exclusive publication of a book or work of art. A
franchise is a right. granted to an entity to operate a specific type of business
using a particular trade name. A patent is a right granted to an inventor for the
exclusive use of a formula.
473
474
o Investment property. Investment property is defined in PAS 40, par 5
property (land or a building or part of a building or both) held (by the owner
or by the lessee under a finance lease) to earn rentals or for capital
appreciation or both, rather than for:
o use in the production or supply of goods or services or for
administrative purposes; or
o sale in the ordinary course of business.
An example of investment property is a building that 18 being leased to others In
exchange for a fair rental.
o Other non-current assets. These are assets that do not fall under any of the above
classification. Other non-current assets include deferred tax assets and other long-term
prepaid expenses.
LIABILITIES
Definition and Characteristics. Liabilities are defined in the Conceptual Framework for
Financial Reporting, par. 4.4 as present obligations of an entity arising from past events, the
settlement of which is expected to result in an outflow from the entity of resources embodying
economic benefits.
An obligation is a duty or responsibility to act or perform in a certain way. Such obligation may
be legally enforceable as a consequence of a binding contract or statutory requirement, such as
amounts payable for goods and services received. Obligation may also arise from normal
business practice, custom and a desire to maintain good business relations or act in an equitable
manner, such as obligation for product warranty.
A liability has the following characteristics:
o It is a present obligation. The obligation is a present obligation that arise; only when an'
asset acquired is delivered or an entity enters into an irrevocable agreement to acquire an
asset. A liability does not arise from a future commitment, such as a decision by
management to acquire asset in the future.
o It is a result of a past activity. A liability is a result of a transaction that has taken place,
such as purchase of goods on account. As stated earlier, it does not an'se 30111 a future
commitment.
o It is expected to be settled by giving up resources embodying economic benefits in order
to satisfy the claim of the other party. The settlement of a present obligation may oecur
474
475
in any of the following Ways: payment of cash; transfer of other assets; provision of
services; ' replacement of that obligation with another obligation; or conversion of the
obligation into equity
Recognition. A liability is recognized 1n the balance sheet
o When it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will result
from the settlement of a present obligation; and
o the amount at which the settlement will take place can be measured reliably.
Classification. Liabilities may be classified as financial and non-fmancial liabilities or current
and non-current.F1nan01al liabilities include notes and accounts payable.
Current liabilities. According to paragraph 69 of PAS l, a liability shall be classified as current
When it satisfies any of the following criteria:
o
o
o
o
it is expected to be Settled in the entity’ s normal operating cycle
it is held primarily for the purpose of trading;
it is due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period; or
the entity does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at
least twelve months after the reporting period.
Current liabilities normally include the following:
o Trade notes and accounts payable. Trade payables are those arising from purchase of
goods and services on account. Notes payable are written premises to pay cash at some
future date. Accounts payable are obligations to suppliers of goods or services purchased
on open account.
o Nontrade notes and accounts payable. These are payable: arising from sources other
than. purchase of goods and services, such as short-term borrowings from banks and
customers’ accounts with debit balances.
o Unearned revenues. Unearned revenues represent cash received for goods 0! services to
be provided in a future period, such as rent received six months in advance and
subscription for magazines or books received one year in advance.
o Accrued liabilities. Accrued liabilities represent obligation for expenses already
incurred, but Will not be paid until the subsequent accounting period. Examples of
accrued liabilities are taxes payable, salaries payable, and interest payable. .
o Currently maturing portion of long-term debt. This is the portion of a long-term debt
that is maturing within the next twelve months from the balance sheet date.
475
476
Non-current liabilities, PAS 1 states that all liabilities that do not qualify as current are
classified as non-current. Noncurrent liabilities include long-term notes, bonds payable,
mortgage payable and deferred income tax liability. The payment terms, interest rates, and
.other details that enable readers of financial statements evaluate the impact of the noncurrent liabilities on future cash flows are disclosed in the notes.
EQUITY
Definition. Equity is defined in the Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting as the
residual interest in the assets of the entity after deducting all its liabilities. The equity of an
entity is composed of the cumulative amount of investments and profit from operations, less
any withdrawals or distribution of dividends and losses from operations.
Components. The components of the equity section of the statement of financial position
depends on the type of business organization. In a single proprietorship and partnership, the
equity section shows the capital account of the owner and the partners, respectively. The
cap1ta1 account balance represents the cumulative amount of investment and profit, less
Withdrawals and losses from operations.
In a corporation, the equity section of the statement of financial position is called
Shareholders’ Equity or Stockholders’ Equity. The shareholders’ equity is generally
composed of Contributed Capital and Retained Earnings. In some instances, a corporation
may have capital maintenance adjustment accounts such as revaluation surplus and net
unrealized gain or loss on long term investments that are shown . separately in the equity
section. These two components of the corporate equity were mentioned in Chapter 9 of this
book.
PAS I does not specify a specific format or arrangement of the three elements when
presented in the statement of financial position. However, in the Philippines, the common
practice is to present these elements as follows current assets followed by non-current assets;
current liabilities followed by non-current liabilities; and equity accounts after liabilities. A
different arrangement may be followed by an entity depending on its nature of business.
INFORMATION TO BE PRESENTED ON THE FACE OF THE STATEMENT OF
FINANCIAL POSITION (BALANCE SHEET) OR IN THE NOTES
PAS 1, par. 54, prescribes that as a minimum, the face of ' the statement of f'manc1al
position (balance sheet) shall include line items that present the following amounts:

or in notes, further subclassification of the line items presented, classified in a manner
appropriate to the entity's operations. The details provided in the subclassification may depend
on the requirements of the PFRSs and on the size, nature, and functions of the amounts involved.
Some examples follow:
15. items of property, plant and equipment are disaggregated into classes, such as land,
buildings and equipment;
16. receivables are disaggregated into amounts receivable from trade customers, receivables
from related parties, prepayments and other amounts;
17. inventories are subclassified into classifications such as merchandise inventory or
finished goods inventory, work in process inventory, and raw materials inventory;
18. provisions are disaggregated into provisions for employee benefits and other items; and
19. equity capital and reserves are disaggregated into various classes, such as contributed
capital and additional paid-in capital.
Form of the Statement of Financial Position (Balance Sheet). The statement of financial
position may be prepared using the report form or the account form. Under the report form, the
elements of the balance sheet are presented similar to a presentation of report. The statement
starts with the Assets, followed by the Liabilities and then the Capital of the owner or the capital
of the partners or shareholder's equity in a corporate form of organization. Under the account
form, the Assets are presented on the left side of the statement while the Liabilities and Equity
are presented in the right side of the statement. The account form is normally used when an
entity maintains a great number of balance sheet accounts. Figures 11.1 and 11.2 show pro-forma
balance sheet using the two forms discussed above.

INCOME STATEMENT
The income statement shows the performance of an entity at a given period of time. The
statement reports the income earned and the expenses incurred at a particular period of time.
The objective of the statement of income statement is to provide information about the
performance of an entity that is useful to a wide range of users in making economic decisions.
The measure of performance is the profit or loss of an entity.
The income statement has two elements: income and expenses.
INCOME
Definition. Income is defined in paragraph 4.25 of the FRSC Conceptual Framework for
Financial Reporting as increases in economic benefits during the accounting period in the form
if inflows or enhancements of assets or decreases of liabilities that result in increases in equity,
other than those relating to contributions from equity participants. Contributions from equity
participants refer to the investments by owners of the entity. Such investments should not be
considered income of the entity.
Income encompasses both revenue and gains. Revenue arises in the course of the ordinary
activities of an entity and is referred to by a variety of different names including sales, fees,
interest, dividends, royalties and rent. Gains are increases in economic benefits arising from
peripheral or incidental activities, such as those arising from sale of plant assets and sale of
investments. Gains are generally reported net of related expenses. For example, the gain on sale
of equipment is the amount remaining after deducting the carrying amount and other disposal
costs from the selling price of the asset.
Income also includes unrealized gains, such as those arising from revaluation of marketable
securities and those arising from increases in the carrying amount of long-term assets.
Recognition. According to paragraph 4.47 of the FRSC Conceptual Framework, income is
recognized in the income statement when an increase in future economic benefits related to an
increase in an asset or a decrease of a liability has arisen that can be measured reliably.
Therefore, the recognition of income occurs simultaneously with the recognition of increases in
assets or decreases in liabilities. PAS 18 Revenue provides a more specific concept on the
recognition of income arising from various transactions.
481
482
EXPENSES
Definition. Paragraph 4.25 of the FRSC Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting defines
expenses as decreases in economic benefits during the accounting period in the form of out flows
or depletions of assets or incurrences of liability that result in decreases in equity, other than
those relating to distributions to equity participants. Distributions to equity participants refer to
withdrawals by the sole proprietor/partners or distribution of dividends to the shareholders. Such
distributions are not considered expenses of the entity.
Expenses encompass both losses and expenses that arise in the course of the ordinary activities
of the entity, such as cost of sales, wages, depreciation, supplies, and utilities. Losses represent
other items that meet the definition of expenses and may, may or not, arise in the course of the
ordinary activities of the entity. Losses include those resulting from disasters such as fire and
flood, and those arising from disposal of non-current assets. Losses are normally reported net of
related income.
Expenses also include unrealized losses, such as those arising from the effects of increases or
decreases in the foreign exchange rate in respect of borrowings of an entity in that currency.
Recognition. Paragraph 4.49 of the FRSC Conceptual Framework states that expenses are
recognized in the income statement when a decrease in future economic benefits related to a
decrease in an asset or an increase of a liability as arisen that can be measured reliably.
Therefore, the recognition of expenses occurs simultaneously with the recognition of an increase
in liabilities or a decrease in assets.
Expenses are recognized under one of the following expense recognition principles:
5. Direct matching (associating cause and effect). When costs can be associated with
revenue, such costs are charged to expense in the period in which the related revenue is
recognized. Examples are cost of goods sold, sales commission expense and warranty
expense.
6. Systematic and rational allocation. When costs cannot be associated with revenue but
can be associated with future periods, such costs are charged to expense over the periods
benefited. Examples are depreciation of plant assets, amortization of intangible assets,
and allocation of insurance premium over the covered period.
7. Immediate recognition. When an expenditure produces no future economic benefits or
when, and to the extent that, future economic benefits do not qualify, or cease to qualify,
for recognition in the balance sheet as an asset, such expenditure is recognized
immediately as an expense. Examples are repairs and maintenance and advertising
expense.
482
483
INFORMATION TO BE PRESENTED ON THE FACE OF THE STATEMENT OF
COMPREHENSIVE INCOME STATEMENT
PAS 1, par. 82, states that as a minimum, the face of the income statement shall include line
items that present the following amounts for the period:
a. revenue;
aa. gains and losses arising from the recognition of financial assets measured at amortized
cost;
b. finance costs;
c. share of the profit or loss of associates and joint ventures accounted for using the equity
method;
ca. if a financial asset is reclassified so that it is measured at fair value, ang gain or loss
arising from a difference between the previous carrying amount and its fair value at thr
reclassification date (as defined in PFRS 9);
d. tax expense;
e. a single amount comprising the total of
i. the post-tax profit if discontinued operations and
ii. the post-tax gain or loss recognized on the measurement to fair value less costs to sell
or on the disposal of the assets or disposal group(s) constituting the discontinued
operations;
f. profit or loss;
g. each component of other comprehensive income classified by nature (excluding amounts
in h;
h. share of other comprehensive income of associates and joint ventures accounted for using
the equity method; and
i. total comprehensive income
If an entity prepares a separate income statement, only items a to f will be presented in the
statement; items g to i will be presented in the separate statement of comprehensive income
Classification of expenses in the income statement. PAS 1 states that an entity may present an
analysis of its expenses using the nature of expense method or the functional method.
Nature of expense method. Under this method, expenses are aggregated in the income
statement according to their nature and are not reallocated among various functions within the
entity. Examples of grouping of expenses under this method are: depreciation, purchases of raw
materials, employee costs, and advertising costs.
Function of expense or cost of sales method. Under this method, expenses are classified
according to their function as part of cost of sales, cost of distribution (selling expenses), or
administrative activities (general or administrative expenses). This method can provide more
relevant information to users than the nature of expense method.

Notes:
6. The revenue section represents revenue from the major activity if the entity, that is, sale
of goods for a merchandising or trading company and sale of services for a service
company.
7. Other income includes interest income and gain from sale of assets other than inventories,
such as gain from sale of investment.
8. Other expenses include loss from sale of assets other than inventories, such as loss from
sale of equipment.
9. The share of profit of associates is the share of the entity in the reported profit of an
investee company called associate. Accounting for investment in associate is a topic to be
discussed in financial accounting.
STATEMENT OF COMPREHENSIVE INCOME
The statement of comprehensive income reports items of income and expenses which are not
required by other PASs and PRFSs to be recognized in profit or loss. Examples are changes in
revaluation surplus when property, plant and equipment are reported using the revaluation model
and gains and losses arising from changes in fair vakue of available-for-salr securities.
The following information is required to be presented in the statement of comprehensive income
reported separately from the income statement:
8. profit or loss shown in the income statement;
9. share of other comprehensive income of associates and joint venture accounted for using
the equity method;
10. each component of other comprehensive income classified by nature;
11. total comprehensive income; and
12. the total comprehensive incime attributable to non-controlling interest and that
attributable to owners of the parents.
PAS 1 permits the presentation of comprehensive income in a single statement of comprehensive
income (combines income statement and statement of comprehensive income).
STAMENT OF CHANGES IN EQUITY
PAS 1, par. 106, requires an entity to present a statement of changes in equity that should include
the following:
7. total comprehensive income for the period, showing separately the amount due to owners
of the parent and to non-controlling interest;
486
487
c. for each component of equity, the effect of retrospective application or retrospective
restatement recognized in accordance with PAS 8; and
d. for each component of equity, a reconciliation of the carrying amount at the beginning
and the end of the period, separately disclosing changes resulting from:
e. profit or loss;
f. other comprehensive income; and
g. transactions with owners in their capacity as owners, showing separately
contributions by and distributions to owners and changes in ownership interests in
subsidiaries that do not result in a loss of control.
The preparation of the statement is also discussed in Chapter 9 of this book.
STATEMENT OF CASH FLOWS
The statement of cash flows is one of the basic components of a complete set of financial
statements. The objective of the statement of cash flows is to provide information about the cash
receipts and cash disbursements of an entity that occurred during a period. The statement
summarizes the transactions that caused a change in the cash balance during a reporting period.
A cash flow statement provides the following benefits as stated in PAS 7, par. 4:
e. it provides information that enables the users to evaluate the changes in the assets if an
entity, its financial structure and its ability to affect the amounts and timing of cash flows
in order to adapt to changing circumstances and opportunities;
f. it provides information that is useful in assessing the ability of the entity to generate cash
and cash equivalents and enables users to develop models to assess and compare the
present value of the future cash flows of different entities;
g. it enhances the comparability of the reporting of operating performance by different
entities because it eliminates the effects of rising different accounting treatments for the
same transactions and events.
CLASSIFICATION OF CASH FLOWS
Cash flows are classified to make the statement more meaningful to the investors and creditors
by enabling them to determine the type of transaction that gave rise to each cash flow. Cash
flows are categorized into three: (a) operating activities; (b) investing activities; and (c) financing
activities.
Operating activities. Cash flows from operating activities are derived from the principal revenueproducing activities of an entity. They represent the cash inflows and outflows of cash that
resulted from activities reported in the income statement. Thus, this classification of cash flows
includes the elements of income statement reported on a cash basis rather that an accrual basis.
For instance, cash flows from sales show the amount
487
488
of cash received from customers during the period sales that were made in prior or current period
or for future sales.
Cash received from (cash inflow)
 customers for sale of goods and services
Cash paid for (cash outflow)
 purchase of inventory

royalties, fees, commissions

salaries and wages

interest on loans receivable

interest on loans payable

dividends from investment

income taxes
Table 11.1 - Sample transactions or activities giving rise to cash flows from operating activities
Investing activities. Cash flows from investing activities include cash inflows and outflows of
cash related to acquisition and disposition of long-term assets used in operations of the business
and investment assets.
Cash received from (cash inflows)
 sale of long-term investment
Cash paid for (cash outflows)
 purchase of long-term investment

sale of plant assets

purchase of plant assets

repayment of loans made to others

loans to identified employees.
Table 11.2 - Sample transactions or activities giving rise to cash flows from investing activities.
Financing activities. Cash flows from financing activities include cash inflows from borrowings
and contributions by investors and cash outflows for repayment of loans, retirement of share
capital, acquisition of treasury shares and payment of cash dividends.
Cash received from (cash inflows)
 bank loan
Cash paid for (cash outflows)
 payment of bank loan

issuance of share capital

retirement of share capital

reissuance of treasury shares

acquisition of treasury shares

dividends
Table 11.3 - Sample transactions or activities giving rise to cash flows from financing activities
Methods of presenting cash flows from operating activities. There are two methods of
presenting the cash flows from operating activities: the direct method and the indirect method.
Direct method. Under the direct method, the major classes of gross receipts and gross cash
payments are disclosed in the statement. The information about these major classes may be
obtained either:
488
489

from the accounting records of the entity; or

by adjusting sales, cost of sales (interest and similar income and interest expense and
similar charges for a financial institution) and other items in the income statement for:
 changes during the period in inventories and operating receivables and payables;
 other non-cash items; and
 other items for which the cash effects are investing and financing cash flows.
Indirect method. Under the indirect method, the net cash flow from operating activities is
determined by adjusting profit or loss for the effects of:
 changes during the period in inventories and operating receivables and payables;
 non-cash items such as depreciation, provisions, deferred taxes, and realized
foreign currency gains and losses; and
 all other items for which the cash effects are investing or financing cash flows.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Notes to financial statements include narrative descriptions or more detailed analyses of amounts
shown on the face of the financial statements. The notes include information required and
encouraged to be disclosed by PASs and PFRSs and other disclosures necessary to achieve fair
presentation.
Notes are considered an integral part of the financial statements which contains the following
information:

the basis of preparation of the financial statements and the specific accounting policies
used;
 Accounting policies are the specific principles, bases, conventions, rules and
practices applied by an entity in preparing and presenting financial statements.
 information required by PFRSs that is not presented elsewhere in the financial
statements; or
 additional information that is not presented elsewhere in the financial statements, but is
relevant to an understanding of any of them.
Notes must present information in a systematic order and cross referenced to statement of
financial position, statement of comprehensive income (or income statement if presented
separately), statement of changes in equity and statement of cash flows. Following is the
recommended order of presentation of information in the notes stated in PAS 1, par. 114:




statement of compliance with PFRS;
summary of significant accounting policies applied;
supporting information for items presented in the statement of financial position and of
comprehensive income (or in the income statement if presented separately), and in the

FINANCIAL STATEMENT ANALYSIS
Financial statements provide information into the entity's current status and lead to the
development of policies and strategies for the future.
RATIO ANALYSIS
Ratios express the mathematical relationships between one quantity and another, in terms of a
rate, a proportion, or a percentage. For example, the ratio of gross profit to sales is 60% or the
ratio of current assets to current liabilities is 2.5:1. Ratio analysis expresses the relationship
among selected financial statement data. Ratios are used to evaluate the financial health and
performance of a company. To make them more meaningful, however, three types of
comparisons may be made:

Intra company comparisons is- comparing one period with another period, such as
comparing 2014 with 2013.
 Intercompany comparisons - comparing one company with another company or with
other companies in the same industry.
 Industry average comparison comparing an entity's computed ratios with industry
standards.
Ratios can be grouped into the following: liquidity ratios, solvency ratios, and liquidity ratios.
Each of these is discussed below.
495
496
Liquidity ratios measure the short-term ability of the entity to pay its maturing obligations and to
meet unexpected needs for cash. The measures that can be used to determine the liquidity of an
entity are the current ratio, the quick or acid -test ratio, the current cash debt coverage ratio, the
receivables turnover ratio, the average collection period, the inventory turnover ratio, and the
days in inventory.
Solvency ratios measure the ability of the entity to survive over a long period of time, that is, its
ability to pay interest as it come due and to repay the face value of obligations or debt at
maturity. The measures that can be used to determine the solvency of an entity are the debt to
total assets ratio, the time interest earned ratio, the cash debt coverage ratio and free cash flow.
Profitability ratios measure the profit or operating success of an entity for a given period of time.
An entity's ability or inability to generate profit has several consequences - it affects an entity's
liquidity position and its ability to grow; hence, affecting its ability to obtain loans and to attract
investors. The measures that can be used to determine the profitability of an entity are the return
on ordinary shareholder’s equity ratio, the return on assets ratio, the profit margin ratio, the
earnings per share, the price-earnings ratio, and the payout ratio.
A summary of these ratios, the formula to calculate them and other uses are presented below and
on the next page.

REVIEW of the LEARNING OBJECTIVES
1. Explain the nature of the financial statements and the over-all considerations in their
preparation and presentation.

Financial statements are a structured representation of the financial position and financial
performance of an entity.


Financial statements are the end product of the accounting process
Financial statements show the results of the management's stewardship of the resources
entrusted to it.

Financial statements are the means by which the information accumulated and the
processed in financial accounting is periodically communicated to those who use it.

The preparation and presentation of financial statements is a responsibility of
management.
The over-all considerations in the preparation and presentation of financial statements are as
follows:
 Fair presentation and compliance with PFRS
 Going Concern
 Accrual basis of accounting
 Frequency of reporting
 Materiality an aggregation
 Offsetting
 Consistency of presentation
 Comparative information
2. Identify and explain the components of a complete set of financial statements. A complete
set of financial statements is composed of the following: (1) statement of financial position
(balance sheet), (2) income statement, (3) statement of comprehensive income, (4) statement of
cash flows, (5) statement of changes in equity, and (6) notes and other disclosures. Alternatively,
a single statement of income and comprehensive income may be prepared.
The statement of financial position shows the entity's assets, liabilities, and equity at a point in
time. The statement of financial position has the following three primary elements: assets,
liabilities and equity.
The income statement shows the performance of an entity incurred at a given period. It reports
the income earned and the expenses incurred at a particular period of time. The statement has
two primary elements: income and expenses.
500
501
The statement of comprehensive income reports items of income and expenses which are not
required by other PASs and PRFSs to be recognized in profit or loss, such it changes in
revaluation model and gains and losses arising from changes in fair value of available for sale
securities.
The statement of changes in equity reports transactions affecting the various equity accounts,
such as the profit or loss for the period, dividends declared, additional issuances of share capital,
and acquisition treasury shares.
The statement of cash flows provides information about the cash receipts and cash disbursements
of an entity that occurred during a period. It summarizes the transactions that caused a change in
the cash equivalents balance during a reporting period.
The notes include narrative descriptions or more detailed analyses of amounts shown on the face
of the financial statements.
3. Explain and appreciate the importance of the statement of cash flows. The statement of
cash flows provides the following benefits:

it provides information that enables the users to evaluate the changes in the assets of an
entity, its financial structure and its ability to affect the amounts and timing of cash flows
in order to adopt to changing circumstances and opportunities;

it provides information that is useful in assessing the ability of the entity to generate cash
and cash equivalents and enables users to develop models to assess and compare the
present value of the future cash flows of different entities;

it enhances the comparability of the reporting of operating performance by different
entities because it eliminates the effects of using different accounting treatments for the
same transactions and events.
4. Describe and explain the classification of cash flows and the methods of presenting cash
flows from operating activities. Cash flows are classified to make the statement more
meaningful to the investors and creditors by enabling them to determine the type of transaction
that gave rise to each cash flow. Cash flows are categorized into three: (a) operating activities;
(b) investing activities; and (c) financing activities.
Operating activities. Cash flows from operating activities are derived from the principal
revenue-producing activities of an entity.
Investing activities. Cash flows from investing activities include cash inflows and outflows of
cash related to the acquisition and disposition of long term assets used in the operations of the
501
502
business and investment assets.
Financing activities. Cash flows from financing activities include cash inflows from borrowings
and contributions by investors and cash outflows for repayment of loans, retirement of share
capital, acquisition of treasury shares and payment of cash dividends.
Cash flows from operating activities may be presented using the direct method or the indirect
method. Under the direct method, the major classes of gross receipts and gross cash payments
are disclosed in the statement. Under the indirect method, the net cash flow from operating
activities is determined by adjusting profit or loss for the effects of non-cash revenue and
expense items and gain and losses.
4. Explain and appreciate the types of ratio analysis. Ratios express the mathematical
relationships between one quantity and another, in terms of a rate, a proportion, or a percentage.
For example, the ratio of gross profit to sales is 45% or the ratio of current assets to current
liabilities is 2:5:1. Ratio analysis expresses the relationship among selected financial statement
data. Ratios are used to evaluate the financial health and performance of a company.
Ratios can be grouped into the following: liquidity ratios, solvency ratios, and liquidity ratios.
Each of these is discussed below.
Liquidity ratios measure the short term ability of the entity to pay its maturing obligations and to
meet unexpected needs for cash. Solvency ratios measure the ability of the entity to survive over
a long period of time, that is, its ability to pay interest as it come due and to repay the face value
of obligations or debt at maturity. Profitability ratios measure the profit or operating success of
an entity for a given period of time. An entity's ability or inability to generate profit has several
consequences -- it affects an entity's liquidity position and its ability to grow; hence, affecting its
ability to obtain loans and to attract investors.

INTRODUCTION TO COST ACCOUNTING
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
1. Discuss the nature of cost accounting and differentiate a manufacturing company from a
service company and a merchandising company.
2. Identify the elements of manufacturing costs.
3. Discuss and understand the manufacturing cycle, including the journal entries to record
various transactions related to the cycle.

PREVIEW OF THE CHAPTER
Chapter 12 – Introduction to Cost Accounting [pages 481-508]
NATURE OF COST ACCOUNTING
Cost accounting, which is a specialized field of accounting, emphasizes the determination and
control of costs. It is concerned primarily with the costs of manufacturing processes and
manufactured products. Cost determination, also known as product costing, deals with measuring
the resources used to complete an activity or unit output. Cost control, on the other hand, is
management’s way of efficiently dealing with the activities that incur costs.
Though cost accounting is usually considered only to apply to manufacturing operations, every
type and size of organization should benefit from its use. It informs management promptly with
the cost of rendering a particular service, buying and selling a product, and producing a product.
Cost accounting principles, therefore, may be applied by financial institutions, transportation
companies, churches, schools, governmental units, as well as the non-manufacturing activities of
manufacturing firms.
COMPARISON OF SERVICE, MERCHANDISING AND
MANUFACTURING ORGANIZATIONS
Providing a service to a client in an accounting firm or repairing a television set in a repair shop
has strong similarities to manufacturing tables and chairs in spite of different physical settings. In
a service industry, resources are brought together to provide the service, just as they are brought
together to create a product in a factory environment.
Differences in measuring profits for the various types of organizations are largely a function of
inventoried costs. Service firms have only supplies in inventories. Merchandising firms buy and
sell products and hold merchandise inventories. Manufacturing firms buy materials and convert
these inputs into saleable products. Inventories in a manufacturing firm include the following:
1. Raw materials inventory - yet-to-be used materials
2. Work in process inventory - partially completed products
3. Finished good inventory - completed and ready-to-sell products
ELEMENTS OF MANUFACTURING COST
A manufacturing company differs primarily from a merchandising company from the standpoint
of converting or transforming the good purchased, called raw materials, into another form of
product before selling them. The process of converting or transforming materials into another
form of product is called the manufacturing process. The manufacturing process involves the
three cost elements: direct materials, direct labor, and factory overhead. The sum of these three
cost elements is the manufacturing cost, often called production cost or factory cost.
Direct materials include all the materials that form an integral part of the finished product
whose value is relatively high and that can be included directly in calculating the cost of the
Chapter 12 – Introduction to Cost Accounting [pages 481-508]
product. Examples are the lumber and steel used to make classroom tablet chairs. Materials
needed for the completion of a product but do not form an integral part of the finished product or
whose amount is so minimal may be classified as indirect materials.
Direct labor is labor expended to convert direct materials into a finished product. It has to be
traceable to the finished product though need not be relatively high in amount. Example is the
wage of the machine operator cutting and assembling the lumber and steel used in the production
of classroom tablet chairs. The salary of a supervisor which cannot be traced to a product is
indirect labor.
Factory overhead, also called manufacturing overhead, manufacturing expenses or factory
burden, include all manufacturing cost other than direct materials and direct labor. It includes
indirect materials, indirect labor and all other cost that cannot be charged directly to specific
products or job or order.
Example of indirect materials are factory supplies and lubricants. Examples of indirect labor are
supervision; inspection; salaries of factory clerks, janitors and security guards; defective and
experimental work. Examples of other indirect costs are factory rent; depreciation of machinery
and factory building; maintenance and repairs; heat, light and power; employee factory payroll
taxes; small tools and other miscellaneous factory overhead.
MANUFACTURING CYCLE
Cost accounting consists of a system that is concerned with precise recording and measurement
of cost elements as they originate and flow through the production processes. There are two
accounting systems that may be employed by manufacturing firms, namely: (1) Cost system or
perpetual inventory system, and (2) Non-cost system or periodic inventory system. The
manufacturing process and the physical arrangement of the factory are the basis for determining
the cost accumulation procedures.
The non-cost system or periodic inventory system will be used to illustrate the entries in the
manufacturing cycle. Under this system, there is no detailed flow of cost in the manufacturing
process. The inventory of raw materials, work in process and finished goods are determined
based on physical count of quantities on hand at the end of the accounting period. These
inventories, together with the purchases, labor and overhead, are used to compute for the cost of
materials used in production, cost of goods manufactured and transferred to finished goods, and
cost of goods sold during the period.

REPORTING RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The result of operations of a manufacturing enterprise is reported in the conventional financial
statements. These statements summarize the flow of accounts and revenues show the financial
position at the end of the fiscal period, and report the sources of cash inflows and cash outflow
during the fiscal period.
In the income statement, the Cost of Goods Sold is shown in one figure. Although this procedure
is followed in published reports, internal users need additional information. Therefore, a
supporting schedule of the Cost of Goods Manufactured is usually prepared. A pro-forma
Statement of Cost of Goods Manufactured and Sold that contains all possible includable items is
presented below.

The sum of direct materials, direct labor and factory overhead is total manufacturing cost or
factory cost. The sum of direct materials and direct labor, however, is called rime cost; the sum
of direct labor and factory overhead is called conversion cost. Manufacturing cost is different
from cost of goods manufactured because the latter process beginning and work in process
ending inventories. Cost of fore, is the cost of the completed products during an accounting
period.
On the Statement of Financial Position (balance sheet) of a manufacturing enterprise, the current
asset section is expanded to show the Inventories of Finished Goods, Work in Process and Raw
Materials. The balance in the Finished Goods account represents the total cost incurred in
manufacturing goods that are completed but still on hand (unsold) at the end of the period. The
balance of the Work in Process account includes all manufacturing costs incurred to date for
goods that are in various stages of production (not yet completed). The balance of the Raw
Materials account represents the cost of all materials purchased and on hand and to be used in the
manufacturing process (to be used in production) including raw materials, prefabricated parts
and other factory materials and supplies.
REVIEW of the LEARNING OBJECTIVES
1. Discuss the nature of cost accounting and differentiate a manufacturing company
from a service company and a merchandising company. Cost accounting is concerned
with the determination and control of costs. Although cost accounting is considered
applicable to manufacturing operations, it is also applied to non-manufacturing industries
such as financial institutions, transportation companies and schools. A service firm is
engaged primarily in the rendering of services while a merchandising firm is engaged in
the buying and selling of merchandise. A manufacturing firm, on the other hand, is
engaged in the purchase and processing of raw materials into finished goods. The three
firms also differ in the classes of inventories maintained. A service firm has operating
supplies inventory; a merchandising firm has merchandise inventory; a manufacturing
firm has three classes of inventories, namely: (1) raw materials, (2) work in process, and
(3) finished goods.
2. Identify the elements of manufacturing costs. There are three elements of manufacturing
costs, namely: (1) direct materials, (2) direct labor, and (3) factory overhead. Direct
materials form an integral part of the finished product and whose value is relatively high.
Direct labor can be traced to the finished product and is incurred to convert direct
materials into finished goods. Factory overhead included all indirect costs incurred in the
Chapter 12 – Introduction to Cost Accounting [pages 481-508]
production of raw materials into finished goods. These costs include indirect materials
and indirect labor. Direct materials plus direct labor is prime cost; direct labor plus
factory overhead is conversion cost.
3. Discuss and understand the manufacturing cycle, including the journal entries to
record various transactions related to the cycle. The manufacturing cycle starts with the
purchase of raw materials and ends with the completion of goods. Direct materials issued
to production, direct labor cost and factory overhead costs go to work in process. Cost of
goods completed during the period are transferred from work in process to finished goods
while the cost of finished goods sold are transferred from the finished goods to cost of
goods sold.
4. Prepare a Statement of Cost of Goods Manufactured and Sold. The Statement of Cost
of Goods Manufactured and Sold is prepared as a supporting schedule to the amount
presented on the income statement. The statement shows the total manufacturing cost
incurred, the total cost of work put into process, the total cost of goods manufactured
during the period, the total cost of goods available for sale, and the total cost of goods
sold during the period.
GLOSSARY of ACCOUNTING TERMINOLOGIES
Conversion costs - sum of direct labor and factory overhead.
Direct labor
- labor used to convert direct materials into finished product and that can be
traced to the finished product
Direct materials - materials that form an integral part of a finished product and of relatively
high value and is included in the calculation of the cost of the product.
Factory overhead - manufacturing expenses or factory burden other than direct materials and
direct labor. Factory overhead includes indirect materials and indirect labor
