economic effects of
the item on the entity

LO5
Deferred Expense
Cash paid before expense is incurred
 Examples:
•
•
•
•
Prepaid rent
Prepaid insurance
Office supplies
Property and equipment
 Costs are initially recorded as assets and allocated to
expenses in future periods
Deferred Expense Example #1
Prepay $2,400 for insurance for one year on September 1
Initial journal entry:
Balance Sheet
Assets
=
Liabilities + Stockholders’ +
Equity
Income Statement
Revenues − Expenses
Prepaid
Insurance 2400
Cash
(2400)
Monthly adjusting journal entry:
Prepaid Insurance (200)
Insurance Expense (200)
($2,400 annual × 1/12 = $200 per month for 12 months)
Deferred Expense Example #2
Purchase new store fixtures on January 1 for $5,000; estimated
useful life is 5 years 60 months); estimated salvage value is $500
Purchase of Store fixtures:
Balance Sheet
Income Statement
Assets =
Liabilities + Stockholders’ + Revenues − Expenses
Equity
Store fixtures 5,000
Cash
(5,000)
Monthly adjusting journal entry:
Accumulated
Depreciation Expense
Depreciation (75)
(75)
($5,000 – $500) × 1/60 = $75 per month for 60 months)
Deferred Revenue
Cash received before revenue is earned
 Examples:
• Insurance collected in advance
• Subscriptions collected in advance
• Gift certificates
 Receipts are initially recorded as liabilities (unearned
or refundable receipts) and recorded as revenues in
future periods when earned
Deferred Revenue Example
Received $2,400 for an insurance policy in advance:
Initial journal entry:
Balance Sheet
Income Statement
Assets =
Liabilities + Stockholders’ + Revenues − Expenses
Equity
Cash 2,400
Insurance Collected
in Advance 2,400
Monthly adjusting journal entry:
Insurance Collected
in Advance (200)
Rent Revenue 200
($2,400 annual × 1/12 = $200 per month for 12 months)
Accrued Liability
Expense incurred before cash is paid
 Examples:
• Payroll
• Taxes
• Interest
 Record expense (and corresponding liability) in
period incurred; pay for it in a future period
 No cash flow on recording, only when paid
Accrued Liability Example #1
Biweekly wages are $280,000
At end of month, between pay periods:
Balance Sheet
Assets =
Income Statement
Liabilities + Stockholders’ + Revenues − Expenses
Equity
Wages Payable
Wages Expense
40,000
(40,000)
Next payday:
Cash
(280,000)
Wages Payable
(40,000)
Wages Expense
(240,000)
Accrued Liability Example #2
On March 1, assume a 9%, 90-day, $20,000 loan is taken
Initial journal entry:
Balance Sheet
Assets =
Liabilities + Stockholders’ +
Equity
Cash
Note Payable
20,000
20,000
Monthly adjusting journal entry:
Interest Payable
150
Income Statement
Revenues -- Expenses
Interest Expense
(150)
($20,000 principal × 9% × 1/12 = $150/month )
Accrued Liability Example #2
Payment of note and interest:
Balance Sheet
Assets =
Income Statement
Liabilities + Stockholders’ + Revenues − Expenses
Equity
Cash (20450) Notes Payable (20000)

First day of the month:
Balance Sheet
Assets = Liabilities + Stockholders’ +
Equity
Rent Receivable

The Closing Process
 Real Accounts: Balance Sheet accounts are permanent
accounts and are never closed
 Balances are carried over from one period to the next
 Nominal Accounts: These are temporary accounts
 These accounts are closed at the end of the period and
these balances are not carried over from one period to
another
Zero out
 Revenues, Expenses and
nominal accounts
Dividends
to start accumulation
of next period’s
results
Closing Entries
Closing Entries serve two purposes:
(1) To return the balances in all temporary
or nominal accounts to zero to start
the next accounting period
(2) To transfer the net income (or net loss)
and the dividends of the period to the
Retained Earnings account
Interim Statements
 Financial statements prepared monthly, quarterly,
or at other intervals less than a year
 Used for internal purposes
