1. Chapter 11 Partnerships, Merchandising Businesses, and Journalizing Purchases

2. Parternship Accounting I – sole proprietorship = business owned by one person; personal liability Partnership – business owned by 2 or more people; they combine skills and assets. Each owner is called a “partner.” Personal liability

3. Third type of ownership: Corporation – (p. 472) can be owned by many people. It is a separate legal entity, and has the legal rights of a person (e.g. tax return). Each unit of ownership is a share of stock. Corporations – liability is limited to the assets of the corporation.

4. Merchandising Business Accounting I - Service Business – provides / sells a service; (e.g., dry cleaner) Manufacturing Business – Makes (i.e., manufactures) things that it sells (e.g., Ford, GM) Merchandising Business – a business that buys and sells things (e.g., Shorian Shop)

5. Expanded Journal In Accounting I, we used a Journal that had 3 special columns (5 total): Sales Credit: Cash Debit; and Cash Credit

6. 11-Column Journal Six new special columns: 1.Accounts Receivable Debit 2.Accounts Receivable Credit 3.Sales Tax Payable Credit 4.Accounts Payable Debit 5.Accounts Payable Credit 6.Purchases Debit

7. Merchandise Merchandise – things that a merchandising business sells What is the Shorian Shop’s merchandise?

8. Merchandise (continued) Cost of Merchandise – The price a business pays for goods it purchases to sell

9. Merchandise (continued) Markup – The amount added to the cost of merchandise to establish the selling price. Selling price = cost of merchandise + markup

10. Merchandise (continued) The markup may be a percentage or a dollar amount. On clothing, the Shorian Shop uses a 30% markup. If the cost of merchandise is $10, what is the selling price with a 30% markup?

11. Merchandise (continued) $10 (cost) + $3 (3% of 10$) (markup) = $13 (price)

12. Merchandise (continued) Vendor – The business from which merchandise is bought

13. Purchasing The account used to record the cost of merchandise that a business buys to sell, is called Purchases.

14. Purchases (continued) The Purchases account is a temporary account – it functions as an expense account. Therefore, it’s normal balance is: debit

15. Purchases (continued) The Purchases account is used only to record the cost of merchandise the business purchases to sell. (Not supplies, for example.)

16. Purchase for Cash When a business buys merchandise for cash, the transaction affects the following accounts (suppose a purchase of $500): PurchasesCash $500 $500

17. Purchase on Account When a business buys merchandise on account, the following accounts are affected (suppose a purchase of $500): PurchasesAccount Payable $500 $500

18. Purchases on Account (con’d) If a business only uses a few vendors, they may have a separate account for each vendor. If there are many, they use a single account called Account Payable.

19. Invoice An invoice is a form that describes the goods sold, the quantity, and the price. An invoice used as the source document for recording a purchase on account is a purchase invoice.

20. Invoice Number The invoice will have an invoice number assigned by the vendor. Do not use the vendor’s number; assign a new (sequential number)

21. Terms of Sale The buyer and seller agree on when payment is due for the merchandise. The invoice will usually specify the terms.

22. Journalizing Cash Payments When a business pays the money it owes to the vendor for the purchase of merchandise, it decreases the liability (i.e., the amount owed) and decreases cash (asset).

23. Journalizing Cash Payments Accounts Payable Cash $500 $500 Journalizing a payment of $500 for merchandise previously purchased on account.

24. Cash Payment to Replenish Petty Cash Remember Chapter 7? Petty cash is an imprest fund; it is fixed and the amount STAYS THE SAME – so you only debit petty cash when you ESTABLISH the petty cash fund.

25. Cash Payment to Replenish Petty Cash To replenish petty cash, debit whatever you spent petty cash on, and credit cash. For example, if you spent $50 of petty cash on supplies, and $30 on postage, which accounts would you debit?

26. Cash Payments to Replenish Petty Cash Supplies Postage Expense $50 $30 Cash $80

27. Withdrawals by Partners Withdrawals in a partnership are the same as withdrawals in a sole proprietorship, except that each partner has his/her own Drawing account.

28. Withdrawals by Partners Drawing accounts are DEAD accounts; when draws are made, the drawing account increases on the debit side.

29. Withdrawals by Partners If a partner made a withdrawal of $400, the following accounts would be affected: Mary Smith, Drawing Cash $400 $400
