Under cash-basis accounting, revenues are reported in the period in which cash is received and expenses are reported in the period in which cash is paid. b. Under accrual-basis accounting, revenues are reported in the period in which they are earned and expenses are reported in the same period as the revenues to which they relate. 2. a. 2008 b. 2007 3. a. 2008 b. 2007 4. The matching concept is related to the accrual basis. 5. Yes. The cash amount listed on the trial balance is normally the amount of cash on hand and needs no adjustment at the end of the period. 6. No. The amount listed on the trial balance, before adjustments, normally represents the cost of supplies on hand at the beginning of the period plus the cost of the supplies purchased during the period. Some of the supplies have been used; therefore, an adjustment is necessary for the supplies used before the amount for the balance sheet is determined. 7. Adjusting entries are necessary at the end of an accounting period to bring the ledger up to date. 8. Adjusting entries bring the ledger up to date as a normal part of the accounting cycle. Correcting entries correct errors in the ledger. 9. Four different categories of adjusting entries include prepaid expenses (deferred expenses), unearned revenues (deferred revenues), accrued expenses (accrued liabilities), and accrued revenues (accrued assets). 10. Statement (b): Increases the balance of an expense account. 11. Statement (a): Increases the balance of a revenue account. 12. Yes, because every adjusting entry affects expenses or revenues. 13. a. The balance is the sum of the beginning balance and the amount of the insurance premiums paid during the period. b. The balance is the unexpired premiums at the end of the period. 14. a. The rights acquired represent an asset. b. The justification for debiting Rent Expense is that when the ledger is summarized in a trial balance at the end of the month and statements are prepared, the rent will have become an expense. Hence, no adjusting entry will be necessary. 15. a. The portion of the cost of a fixed asset deducted from revenue of the period is debited to Depreciation Expense. It is the expired cost for the period. The reduction in the fixed asset account is recorded by a credit to Accumulated Depreciation rather than to the fixed asset account. The use of the contra asset account facilitates the presentation of original cost and accumulated depreciation on the balance sheet. b. Depreciation Expense—debit balance; Accumulated Depreciation—credit balance. c. No, it is not customary for the balances of the two accounts to be equal in amount. d. Depreciation Expense appears in the income statement; Accumulated Depreciation appears on the balance sheet. 124 PRACTICE EXERCISES PE 3–1A a. Yes b. No c. No e. Yes d. Yes f. Yes c. e. Yes f.

Accounts Receivable..................................................... Fees Earned .............................................................. Accrued fees. 17,600 17,600 b. No. If the cash basis of accounting is used, revenues are recognized only when the cash is received. Therefore, earned but unbilled revenues would not be recognized in the accounts, and no adjusting entry would be necessary. Ex. 3–11 a.

Accumulated Depreciation ...................................... Depreciation on equipment. 3,275 3,275 Ex. 3–19 a. $416,750 ($678,950 – $262,200) b. No. Depreciation is an allocation of the cost of the equipment to the periods benefiting from its use. It does not necessarily relate to value or loss of value. Ex. 3–20 a. $2,223,000,000 ($6,078,000,000 – $3,855,000,000) b. No. Depreciation is an allocation method, not a valuation method. That is, depreciation allocates the cost of a fixed asset over its useful life. Depreciation does not attempt to measure market values, which may vary significantly from year to year.

The accountant credited the prepaid insurance account for $3,800, but only debited the insurance expense account for $800. 4. The accountant did not debit Wages Expense for $1,200. 5.

The revision of the financial statements to include the accrual of the $10,000 commissions as of December 31, 2007, is proper if there remain no contingencies related to the signed, unconditional contract of sale. That is, if the closing and title transfer is not contingent upon an appraisal, obtaining a loan, etc., then the earnings process has been completed from the perspective of Harre Real Estate and the commissions have been earned. If contingencies remain, then the commission should not be accrued as of December 31, 2007. Indicating on the loan application to First National Bank that Harre Real Estate has not been rejected previously for credit is unethical and unprofessional. In addition, intentionally filing false loan documents is illegal. Activity 3–2 The cost of the warranty repairs, $1,560, should be recognized as an expense of 2008 in order to properly match revenues from the sale of the Expedition with the related expenses. Since the cost of the actual repairs will not be known at the time of sale (2008), Ford Motor Company would estimate warranty costs and expenses at the end of 2008. This estimate would be recorded in the accounts through use of an adjusting entry. The adjusting entry would debit Warranty Expense and credit Estimated Warranty Payable, a liability account. 156 Activity 3–3 Revenue is normally recorded when the services are provided or when the goods are delivered (title passes) to the buyer. By waiting until after the services are provided, the expenses of providing the services can be more accurately measured and matched against the related revenues. Also, at this point, the provider of the services has a right to demand payment for the services if payment hasn’t already been received. Airlines, such as American Airlines, normally record revenue from ticket sales after completing a flight. At this point, the boarding passes, which have been collected from the passengers, represent revenue to the airline. In addition, the expenses related to each flight, such as landing fees and fuel, would have been incurred and would be accurately measured. Note to Instructors: You might point out to students the following points related to the discussion of the adjusting process in this chapter. (1) The receipt of revenue from customers in advance of a flight represents unearned revenues to the airline. For example, the purchase of discount tickets, which often requires prepayment months in advance of the actual flight, is unearned revenue to the airline. (2) At the end of the airline’s accounting period, it would have adjusting entries related to such items as the following: Accrued wages for employees Depreciation on airplanes, terminal buildings, etc. Unearned revenues (described above) Accrued income from transporting freight, etc. Accrued income from other airlines (When a flight is delayed or canceled, airlines often accept passengers from other airlines and then later collect the revenue from the other airline.) Prepaid expenses related to insurance, etc. 157 Activity 3–4 a. There are several indications that adjusting entries were not recorded before the financial statements were prepared, including: 1. All expenses on the income statement are identified as “paid” items and not as “expenses.” 2. No expense is reported on the income statement for depreciation, and no accumulated depreciation is reported on the balance sheet. 3. No supplies, accounts payable, or wages payable are reported on the balance sheet. b. Likely accounts requiring adjustment include: 1. Truck (for depreciation). 2. Supplies (paid) expense for supplies on hand. 3. Insurance (paid) expense for unexpired insurance. 4. Wages accrued. 5. Utilities accrued. Activity 3–5 Note to Instructors: The purpose of this activity is to familiarize students with behaviors that are common in codes of conduct. In addition, this activity addresses an actual ethical dilemma for students. 158
