Accrual Basis versus Cash Basis
On December 1, 2015, FastForward paid $2,400
cash for a twenty-four month business insurance
policy.
C1
Using the cash basis, the entire $2,400 would be
recognized as insurance expense in 2015. No
insurance expense from this policy would be
recognized in 2016 or 2017, periods covered by
the policy.
6
Accrual Basis versus Cash Basis
On the accrual basis, $100 of insurance
expense is recognized in 2015, $1,200 in
2016, and $1,100 in 2017. The expense is
matched with the periods benefited by the
insurance coverage.
C1
7
Recognizing Revenues
The revenue recognition principle states
that we recognize revenue when the
product or service is delivered to our
customer.
C1
8
Recognizing Expenses
The expense recognition (or matching)
principle aims to record expenses in the
same accounting period as the revenues
that are earned as a result of those
expenses. This matching of expenses with
the revenue benefits is a major part of the
adjusting process.

Framework for Adjustments
An adjusting entry is made at the end of an accounting
period to reflect a transaction or event that is not yet
recorded.

PREPAID INSURANCE
On December 1, 2015, FastForward paid $2,400 to cover
insurance for 24 months that began on December 1 of
2015. Scott recorded the expenditure as Prepaid
Insurance on December 1.

Another adjusting entry which needs to be
made is for Depreciation
Instead of expensing the cost of a plant asset
(equipment, building, cars, etc.) in the year it is
purchased we allocate or spread out the cost over
their expected useful lives.
The formula for straight-line depreciation is:
Straight-Line
Asset Cost - Salvage Value
Depreciation =
Useful Life
Expense
P1
17
USEFUL LIFE
 The period of time that an asset is expected
to help produce revenues.
 Useful life expires as a result of wear and
tear, or because it no longer satisfies the
needs of the business.
P1
18
SALVAGE VALUE
• The expected market value or selling price
of an asset at the end of its useful life
• Also called:
– Scrap Value or
– Residual Value
P1
19
DEPRECIATION EXAMPLE
FastForward purchased equipment on Dec 1 for
$26,000. It has an estimated useful live of 60 months.
The equipment is expected to be worth about $8,000 at
the end of five years. They purchased the equipment
on Dec 1 but it is now Dec 31.
Because FastForward expects the equipment
to be worth $8,000 when the five years
are over, only $18,000 of the cost needs
to be spread over the next 60 months.
P1
20
STRAIGHT-LINE METHOD
1st step: Calculate Net Cost (the amount to
depreciate).
FORMULA:

Cost

Calculating Depreciation Expense
2nd step: Determine depreciation expense
for this accounting period (one month).
FORMULA:
Net Cost
Estimated
Useful Life
P1
$18,000
60 mos.
$300 per
month
Now that we know depreciation for
the month is $300, let’s figure out the
adjusting entry. . .
22
Depreciation adjustment reflected in
our T-accounts looks like this:
Depreciation Expense
Equipment
12/1 26,000
12/31 300
Accumulated Depreciation
12/31 300
The depreciation amount of
$300 is credited to this
account instead of the
asset account.
23
Let’ look at the journal entry for the
adjustment for Depreciation..
Equipment
12/1 26,000

NEED-TO-KNOW
For each separate case below, follow the three-step process for adjusting the prepaid asset account.
Step 1: Determine what the current account balance equals.
Step 2: Determine what the current account balance should equal.
Step 3: Record an adjusting entry to get from step 1 to step 2.
Assume no other adjusting entries are made during the year.
Prepaid Insurance.The Prepaid Insurance account has a $5,000 debit balance to start the year. A
review of insurance policies and payments shows that $1,000 of unexpired insurance remains at yearend.
Prepaid Rent. On October 1 of the current year, the company prepaid $12,000 for one year of rent for
facilities being occupied from that day forward. The company debited Prepaid Rent and credited Cash
for $12,000. December 31 year-end statements must be prepared.
Supplies. The Supplies account has an $1,000 debit balance to start the year. Supplies of $2,000
were purchased during the current year and debited to the Supplies account. A December 31 physical
count shows $500 of supplies remaining.
Accumulated Depreciation. The company has only one fixed asset (equipment) that it purchased at
the start of this year. That asset had cost $38,000, had an estimated life of 10 years, and is expected
to be valued at $8,000 at the end of the 10-year life.

Global View
The definition of an asset is similar under U.S. GAAP and IFRS and
involves three basic criteria:
(1) the company owns or controls the right to use the item,
(2) the right arises from a past transaction or event, and
(3) the item can be reliably measured.
Both systems define the initial asset value as historical cost for
nearly all assets.
The definition of a liability is similar under U.S. GAAP and IFRS and
involves three basic criteria:
(1) the item is a present obligation requiring a probable future resource
outlay,
(2) the obligation arises from a past transaction or event, and
(3) the obligation can be reliably measured.
73
Global View
Both U.S. GAAP and IFRS include similar guidance for adjusting accounts. Although
some variations exist in revenue and expense recognition.

Appendix 4A – Reversing Entries
Reversing entries are optional. They are recorded in
response to accrued assets and accrued liabilities that
were created by adjusting entries at the end of a
reporting period. The purpose of reversing entries is to
simplify a company’s recordkeeping.
Let’s see how the accounting for our payroll
accrual will be handled with and without
reversing entries.
