Reason 1 Revenue & expense account only exist during a particular Reporting period and are then set to zero in preparation for the next reporting period Reason 2 They are closed off & transferred to the Profit & Loss Summary account in order to determine profit for the current Reporting Period Reason 3 Once profit or loss is calculated it is then transferred from the P&L Summary ledger account to the Capital account in order to update capital d. Explanation Asset accounts are carried forward as they are expected to result in a future economic benefit for the business. They are yet to be fully consumed and continue into future periods. Similarly, liabilities are carried forward as the settlement of the obligation is expected to result in an outflow of economic benefits in future periods. 2 Unit 3 Accounting - PRACTICE SAC2a 2014 Question 2 a.

This is made up of $9600 for the prepayment in August AND the remainder of $1600 (11200 – 9600) which represents that part of the prepayment from the previous period that is yet to be consumed. THERFORE, $1600 prepaid from previous period & now consumed in July PLUS $ 3200 now consumed from the prepayment in August(9600/6 = 1600 per mth x 2 mths= 3200) = $4800 c. Explanation Net Profit would be overstated by $400 as the electricity expense would be understated as is has not been recognised in the current period. The electricity owing should have been recognised as an expense as it has been consumed in the current period even though it has not been paid. Both liabilities and owner’s equity would be affected in the Balance Sheet. Liabilities would be understated as Accrued Electricity expense has been understated by $400. The $400 represents a future obligation to pay Origin Energy for the electricity consumed. The owner’s equity would be overstated by $400 as electricity expense is understated overstating Net Profit by $400. REMEMBER--- the electricity was incurred in the current period and should have been recognised as an expense in the current period. 3 Unit 3 Accounting - PRACTICE SAC2a 2014 d.

Justification --- Accounting Principle : REPORTING PERIOD Revenue should be recognised when earned rather than when the cash has been received. Also expenses should be recognised when incurred rather than when the cash has been paid. Therefore, on the last day of the Reporting period (balance day) adjustments are made to revenue and expense accounts to ensure an accurate profit is calculated by matching all revenue earned against all expenses incurred in the current period. ANY TWO EXAMPLES - the following should be included as an expense in order to calculate profit some of the rent paid in advance has now been consumed in the current period electricity owing has been incurred in the current period although it has not been paid some of the cost of the shelving has been used to help the business to earn revenue in the current period so it is recognised as depreciation expense g. Justification --- Qualitative Characteristic: RELEVANCE Revenue should be recognised when earned rather than when the cash has been received. Also expenses should be recognised when incurred rather than when the cash has been paid. Therefore, on the balance day (last day of the current period) adjustments are made to revenue and expense accounts so an accurate profit is calculated by matching all revenue earned against all expenses incurred in the current period as they are relevant to the current period. This ensures that all information that is useful for decision making has been included in the calculation of profit and information which is not useful (earned or incurred outside the current period) is excluded. ANY TWO EXAMPLES - the following are relevant to the current period & should be included as an expense as it is useful for the calculation of profit some of the rent paid in advance has now been consumed in the current period electricity owing has been incurred in the current period although it has not been paid some of the cost of the shelving has been used to help the business to earn revenue in the current period so it is recognised as depreciation expense h.

Explanation The carrying value represents the amount yet to be allocated as depreciation, plus any estimated residual value expected to be realised at the end of the asset’s useful life. Remember the carrying value is NOT the current market value of an asset---- as depreciation does not attempt to provide an estimate of market value. the purpose of depreciation is to allocate the cost of an asset (less residual value) over the reporting periods that represent the asset’s life --- this is done to help determine an accurate profit for each reporting period . 6 Unit 3 Accounting - PRACTICE SAC2a 2014 c.

Discussion Depreciation is used to calculate that part of the cost of the non-current asset that has been consumed to help the business to earn revenue in the current reporting period. It allocates or spreads the cost of the asset over its useful life or estimated years the asset will be used to earn revenue. Therefore, the method chosen should allocate the cost of the asset according to the expected revenueearning pattern of the asset. If the asset is expected to generate the same amount of revenue each reporting period, the straight line method should be adopted as it allocates the same amount of cost each reporting period. However, if the asset is expected to be more productive in its earlier years and therefore generate more revenue in those periods, the reducing balance method should be adopted as it allocates more cost in the earlier years and less in the later years of the life of the asset, when it is less productive. That is, this method assumes that as the asset ages, it has a tendency to break down and not be used as often so its contribution to earning revenue will decrease over time. For example, if the Equipment has lots of moving parts it may tend to break down as it ages then the reducing balance method may be more appropriate. Question 5 a.

Explanation The Accrued Interest Expense is reported as a current liability as it is a present obligation of the business. The settlement of the obligation (interest owing to the bank) is expected to result in an outflow of cash (economic benefit) in the next 12 months when the interest owing is paid. b. Explanation-----Balance(1) Represents the balance carried forward from the previous period. The interest owing was incurred in the previous period even though it was not paid but is carried forward as it represents a future obligation of the business as the interest is still owed to the business at the start of this reporting period perperiod.

Explanation-----Interest (3) Represents the interest incurred but not yet paid in the current reporting period c. Explanation The interest has been incurred in the current period even though it has not been paid and should be included as an expense in the current period resulting in an increase in other expenses and a decrease in Net Profit. 8 Unit 3 Accounting - PRACTICE SAC2a 2014 Question 7 a. Explanation Accrued Interest Revenue would be reported as a current asset, as it is an economic resource controlled by the entity, from which future economic benefits are expected to flow to the entity in the next 12 months. That is, in the next few months cash (economic benefit) is expected to flow in the business when the interest owing to the business is received. b.
