1 NOTE: Steps 1 to 10 is the ACCOUNTING CYCLE.
PHASES OF ACCOUNTING Recording Classifying Summarizing Interpreting 5. Adjusting journal entries Profitability – How much is the increase in capital as a result of business operation? 1. Identifying transactions and events – source documents 3. Posting to the ledger – general ledger 6. Preparing the worksheet 4. Trial balance preparation 7. Preparing financial statements 2. Journalizing transactions – the journal Liquidity – Are there available funds to finance the business operation? RECORDING Business transactions are the economic activities of a business. Recording these historical events is a significant function of accounting. Before the effects of transactions can be recorded, they must be measured. In order that accounting information will be useful, it must be expressed in terms of a common financial denominator---money. Money serves as both a medium of exchange and a measure of value. CLASSIFYING – by simply measuring and recording transactions, the resulting information will be of limited use. To be useful in making decisions, the recorded data must be classified and summarized. Classification reduces the effects of numerous transactions into useful groups or categories. SUMMARIZING – summarization of financial data is achieved through the preparation of financial statements or financial reports. These usually summarize the effects of all business transactions that occurred during some period. INTERPRETING – after going through the preceding phases, it is imperative that the result of the summarization phase be interpreted of analyzed to evaluate the liquidity, profitability and solvency of the business organization. 8. Closing entries NOTE: Steps 1 to 10 is the ACCOUNTING CYCLE. 9. Post-closing trial balance Solvency – Can the business pay its long-term obligations to others? 10. Reversing entries

2 ADJUSTING ENTRIES

3 Adjusting Entries – 5th Step
What are adjusting entries? When are adjusting entries made? Adjusting entries are journal entries which are to be recorded in the general journal and are usually prepared at the end of the accounting period of one year following the preparation of a trial balance. Adjusting entries are usually prepared at the end of the accounting period of one year following the preparation of a trial balance. What are the effects of adjusting entries? Each adjusting entry affects a balance sheet account (an asset or a liability account) and an income statement account (income or expense account).

4 Adjusting Entries – 5th Step
What are the purposes of the adjusting entries? Generally, adjusting entries are prepared for the following reasons: To bring records or balances of accounts updated (or to bring the assets, liabilities, revenues & expenses up-to-date at the end of the accounting period) To properly match revenues against expense during the period (Revenues to be recognized within the period they are earned and Expenses to be recognized within the period they are incurred.) Specifically, Accounting utilizes “adjusting entries” at the end of an accounting period  to split mixed accounts. Mixed accounts  are accounts that have components of asset and expense, or liability and income at the end of the accounting period. Adjusting entries are adjustments used to bring the assets, liabilities, revenues & expenses up-to-date at the end of the accounting period by: They are usually made at the end of the accounting period in order for: Revenues to be recognized within the period they are earned Expenses to be recognized within the period they are incurred. Generally, adjusting entries are prepared for the following reasons: To bring records or balances of accounts updated To properly match revenues against expense during the period Adjusting entries involve changing account balances at the end of the period from what is the current balance of the account to what is the correct balance for proper financial reporting.

5 Basic Adjusting Entries
Items which usually require adjusting journal entries: Accruals – Accrued Expense & Accrued Income Deferrals – Prepayment of expense & Precollection of income Depreciation Estimated uncollectible accounts or estimated doubtful accounts (bad debts) Correction of erroneous journal entries

6 Adjustments for Accruals
What is the meaning of ACCRUAL? Accrual  means to recognize revenue earned regardless of when it was collected, and to record expenses incurred whether paid or not. This accounting practice is based on the basic principles of ACCRUAL ACCOUNTING. What are the two kinds of accruals? Accrued Revenue or Accrued Income Accrued Expenses – Salaries, interest, utilities (electricity, telecommunications and water) and taxes are examples of expenses that are incurred before payment is made.

7 Adjustments for Accruals
What is the meaning of accrued income or acrrued revenue? Accrual Income  is an income already earned by the business but not yet collected when the accounting period ends. Accrual Income  means bringing into existence an income that is already earned but not yet received. What are the examples of accrued income or accrued revenue? Examples of accrued revenues are: 1. Services performed but not yet billed or collected 2. Accumulating income due to passage of time, as in the case of rent income and interest income

8 Adjustments for Accruals
What is the adjusting entry of Accrued Income or Accrued Revenue? The purpose of the adjusting entry is to record the income earned and recognize the corresponding asset (collectible or receivables) account. The adjusting entries for Accrued Income or Accrued Revenue: Accrued ____________ Income xxx ___________ Income xxx To record income earned but not yet collected. For example, if I begin an accounting service in December 2005 and provide $10,000 of accounting services in December, but don’t receive any of the money from the clients until January 2006, there will be a difference in the income statements for December and January under the accrual and cash bases of accounting. Under the accrual basis, my income statements will show $10,000 of revenues in December and none of those services will be reported as revenues in January. Under the cash basis, my December income statement will show no revenues. Instead, the December services will be reported as January revenues under the cash method. There will be a difference on the balance sheet, too. Under the accrual basis, the December balance sheet will report accounts receivable of $10,000 and the estimated true profit will be added to owner’s equity or retained earnings. Under the cash basis, the $10,000 of accounts receivable will not be reported as an asset, and the true profit will not be included in owner’s equity or retained earnings. To illustrate: The business received a P100,000 6%, 60 day note from a customer dated Dec. 2, 2008.

9 Adjustments for Accruals
What are the other account names used for accrued income or accrued revenue? Accrued income is reported as a current asset such as accrued receivables, accrued revenues, or part of accounts receivable. The accounts Accrued Rent Income, Accrued Interest Income, etc. are similar to Rent Receivable, Interest Receivable, etc. The term “accrued” when associated with income account connotes “receivables” which means an asset.

10 Adjustments for Accruals
What is the meaning of Accrued Expense? Accrued expense  is an expense that is already incurred by the business but not yet paid when the accounting period ends. Accrued expense  means recognizing an incurred and unrecorded expense that remains unpaid because payment is not yet due. What are the examples of accrued expense? Examples of Accrued Expense: Accrued Rent Expense, Accrued Salaries Expense, Accrued Interest Expense

11 Adjustments for Accruals
What is the adjusting entry of Accrued expense? The purpose of the adjusting entry is to record the expense and recognize the corresponding liability. The adjusting entry for Accrued Expense: ____________ Expense xxx Accrued ________Expense xxx To record unpaid expense. To illustrate: The business is renting a space of the building for P5000 per month payable every 1st day of the following month. The rental for the month of December 2008 was not paid when the accounting period ended on Dec. 31, the business intends to pay the rental on Jan. 1, 2009.

12 Adjustments for Accruals
What are the other account names used for accrued expense? The accounts Accrued Rent Expense, Accrued Salaries Expense, Accrued Interest Expense, etc. are similar to Rent Payable, Salaries Payable, Interest Payable, etc. The term “accrued” when associated with an expense account connotes “payable” which means a liability.

13 Adjustments for Deferrals
Deferral  is the postponement of the recognition of “an expense already paid but not yet incurred,” or of “a revenue already collected but not yet earned”. Prepayments  are advanced payments of business expenses or supplies to be used in a business operation. Precollections (also known as Deferred Revenues or Unearned Revenues)  are advanced collections of business revenues from customers. Prepayment of expenses Precollection of income

14 Adjustments for Deferrals
Prepayments of Expenses These items may be recorded initially as prepaid assets or prepaid expenses, which expire either: The passage of time (e.g. insurance and rent) or Through use or consumption (e.g. supplies). Prepaid expense  is an expense that is already paid but not yet incurred. Expense method – an expense is debited upon payment of the prepaid expense. This method is called nominal approach. Asset method – an asset account is debited upon payment of the prepaid expense. This method is called real approach.

15 Adjustments for Deferrals
Prepayments of Expenses There are 2 methods or approaches that can be used in recording prepayments, namely: Expense Method  an expense is debited upon payment of the prepaid expense. This method is called nominal approach. Asset Method  an asset account is debited upon payment of the prepaid expense. This method is called real approach.

16 Adjustments for Deferrals
Prepayments of Expenses To illustrate: On Sept. 1, 2009, the business paid an insurance premium covering the period from Sept. 1, 2009 to Sept. 1, 2010 in the amount of P3,600. The accounting period ends on Dec. 31, 2009.

17 Adjustments for Deferrals
Precollections of Income Precollected income  is an income that is already collected but not yet earned. There are 2 methods or approaches that can be used in recording precollections, namely: Income method  an Income account is credited upon collection or receipt of cash. This method is also called “nominal approach” because an income is a nominal account. Liability method  a liability account is credited upon collection or receipt of cash. This method is also called “real approach” because a liability is a real account.

18 Adjustments for Deferrals
Precollections of Income On Oct. 1, 2009, the business collected P12,000 from a tenant representing an advance collection from building rental for one year. The accounting period ends on Dec. 31, 2009.

19 Adjustments for Depreciation
Property & equipment  are tangible assets which are held by an enterprise for use in the production or supply of goods and services for rental to others, or for administrative purposes, and are expected to be used during more than one year period. These include building, machinery, ships, aircrafts, motor vehicles, furniture and fixture, equipment and improvement to leased facilities. They are called depreciable assets which are all subject to depreciation. Land is not a depreciable assets because it is expected to be useful to the business enterprise for an indefinite period of time.

20 Adjustments for Depreciation
The cost of the property and equipment is not being treated as an EXPENSE but rather an ASSET and generally carried at cost less accumulated depreciation equals Net Book Value. The portion of the cost of property and equipment that have been allocated over the number of years and charged to expense during the period is called DEPRECIATION EXPENSE.

21 Adjustments for Depreciation
METHODS OF COMPUTING DEPRECIATION: There are various methods of computing depreciation but we’ll discuss only the STRAIGHT LINE METHOD. There are 3 factors involved in computing depreciation expense. Acquisition cost  is the amount an entity paid to acquire the depreciable asset. It is the amount paid or liability incurred when the asset is bought. Scrap value or salvage value or residual value  the estimated value of the asset at the end of its economic or useful life. It is the amount that the asset can probably be sold for at the end of its estimated useful life. Estimated useful life  the estimated length of time usually stated in years that the asset can be of use. It is the estimated number of periods that an entity can make use of the asset. Useful life is an estimate, not an exact measurement.

22 Adjustments for Depreciation
THE FORMULA FOR DEPRECIATION OF A STRAIGHT-LINE METHOD: To illustrate: On July 1, 2009, the business acquired an Office Equipment costing P60,000 with an estimated life of 5 years.

23 Adjustments for Estimated Uncollectible Accounts
(or Estimated for doubtful accounts or Estimated for bad debts) Accounts Receivable  represents the amount collectible arising from rendering of services to clients or customers and sale of merchandise to customers on account. When accounts receivables are already long overdue, some portion should be recorded as “uncollectible accounts,” otherwise known as “bad debts” or “doubtful accounts.”

24 Adjustments for Estimated Uncollectible Accounts
(or Estimated for doubtful accounts or Estimated for bad debts) To illustrate: Assume that an entity made credit sales of P100,000 to customer A in 2009 and prior experience indicates an expected 1% average uncollectible accounts rate based on credit sales.

25 Adjustments for Estimated Uncollectible Accounts
(or Estimated for doubtful accounts or Estimated for bad debts) When an account of a certain customer is already “hopeless” for collection, it is considered as worthless account or when there is positive evidence that a specific account is definitely uncollectible, the appropriate amount is written off against the contra account.

26 Adjustments or Corrections of Erroneous Entries
Wrong charging of account. Correct charging of accounts but amounts are in error.
