Balance Sheet The balance sheet is prepared directly from the Balance Sheet or Adjusted Trial Balance columns of the end-of-period spreadsheet, beginning with Cash of $2,065. A classified balance sheet is a balance sheet that is expanded by adding subsections for assets and liabilities. o Assets are commonly divided into two sections on the balance sheet: (1) current assets and (2) property, plant, and equipment. o Liabilities are commonly divided into two sections on the balance sheet: (1) current liabilities and (2) long-term liabilities. ©2016 Cengage Learning.

Current Assets (slide 1 of 2) Cash and other assets that are expected to be converted into cash or sold or used up usually within one year or less, through the normal operations of the business, are called current assets. o Cash o Accounts receivable o Notes receivable o Supplies o Other prepaid expenses ©2016 Cengage Learning. All Rights Reserved. May not be scanned, copied or duplicated, or posted to a publicly accessible website, in whole or in part.

Current Assets (slide 2 of 2) Notes receivable are written promises by the customer to pay the amount of the note and interest. Like accounts receivable, notes receivable are amounts that customers owe, but they are more formal than accounts receivable. Notes receivable and accounts receivable are current assets because they are usually converted to cash within one year or less. ©2016 Cengage Learning. All Rights Reserved.

Property, Plant, and Equipment Property, plant, and equipment (also called fixed assets or plant assets) include land and assets that depreciate over a period of time. o Equipment o Machinery o Buildings ©2016 Cengage Learning. All Rights Reserved. May not be scanned, copied or duplicated, or posted to a publicly accessible website, in whole or in part.

Current Liabilities Amounts the business owes to creditors that will be due within a short time (usually one year or less) and that are to be paid out of current assets are called current liabilities. o Accounts payable o Notes payable o Wages payable o Interest payable o Unearned fees ©2016 Cengage Learning. All Rights Reserved. May not be scanned, copied or duplicated, or posted to a publicly accessible website, in whole or in part.

Long-Term Liabilities Amounts the business owes to creditors that will not be due for a long time (usually more than one year) are called long-term liabilities. ©2016 Cengage Learning. All Rights Reserved. May not be scanned, copied or duplicated, or posted to a publicly accessible website, in whole or in part.

Owner’s Equity Owner’s equity is the owner’s right to the assets of the business. Owner’s equity is added to the total liabilities, and this combined total must be equal to the total assets. It is presented on the balance sheet below the liabilities section. ©2016 Cengage Learning. All Rights Reserved.

The following accounts appear in an adjusted trial balance of Hindsight Consulting. Indicate whether each account would be reported in the (a) current asset; (b) property, plant, and equipment; (c) current liability; (d) long-term liability; or (e) owner’s equity section of the December 31, 2015, balance sheet of Hindsight Consulting. 1.Jason Corbin, Capital 2.Notes Receivable (due in six months) 3.Notes Payable (due in 10 years) 4.Land 5.Cash 6.Unearned Rent (three months) 7.Accumulated Depreciation— Equipment 8.Accounts Payable 1.Owner’s equity 2.Current asset 3.Long-term liability 4.Property, plant, and equipment 5.Current asset 6.Current liability 7.Property, plant, and equipment 8.Current liability Classified Balance Sheet

Permanent Accounts Accounts that are relatively permanent from year to year are called permanent accounts or real accounts. The balances of these accounts are carried forward from year to year. This includes accounts reported on the balance sheet. ©2016 Cengage Learning. All Rights Reserved. May not be scanned, copied or duplicated, or posted to a publicly accessible website, in whole or in part.

Temporary Accounts Accounts that report amounts for only one period are called temporary accounts or nominal accounts. Temporary accounts are not carried forward because they relate to only one period. This includes all accounts reported on the income statement as well as the owner’s drawing account, which is reported on the statement of owner’s equity. ©2016 Cengage Learning. All Rights Reserved. May not be scanned, copied or duplicated, or posted to a publicly accessible website, in whole or in part.

The Closing Process ©2016 Cengage Learning. All Rights Reserved. May not be scanned, copied or duplicated, or posted to a publicly accessible website, in whole or in part.

Closing Entries (slide 1 of 3) To report amounts for only one period, temporary accounts should have zero balances at the beginning of the next period. To achieve this, temporary account balances are transferred to permanent accounts at the end of the accounting period through journal entries. The entries that transfer these balances are called closing entries. The transfer process is called the closing process (or closing the books). After the closing entries are posted, all of the temporary accounts have zero balances. ©2016 Cengage Learning. All Rights Reserved. May not be scanned, copied or duplicated, or posted to a publicly accessible website, in whole or in part.

Closing Entries (slide 2 of 3) Income Summary is a temporary account that is only used during the closing process. At the beginning of the closing process, Income Summary has no balance. During the closing process, revenue and expense accounts are cleared by debiting or crediting Income Summary for their amounts. Because it has the effect of clearing the revenue and expense accounts of their balances, Income Summary is sometimes called a clearing account. The balance of Income Summary (net income or net loss) is transferred to the owner’s capital account. At the end of the closing process, the Income Summary account will have a zero balance. ©2016 Cengage Learning. All Rights Reserved. May not be scanned, copied or duplicated, or posted to a publicly accessible website, in whole or in part.

Closing Entries (slide 3 of 3) The four closing entries required in the closing process are as follows: 1. Debit each revenue account for its balance and credit Income Summary for the total revenue. 2. Credit each expense account for its balance and debit Income Summary for the total expenses. 3. Debit Income Summary for its balance and credit the owner’s capital account (in the case of net income). Alternatively, credit Income Summary and the debit owner’s capital account (in the case of a net loss). 4. Debit the owner’s capital account for the balance of the drawing account and credit the drawing account. ©2016 Cengage Learning. All Rights Reserved.

Accounting Cycle (slide 1 of 2) The accounting process that begins with analyzing and journalizing transactions and ends with the post- closing trial balance is called the accounting cycle. ©2016 Cengage Learning. All Rights Reserved. May not be scanned, copied or duplicated, or posted to a publicly accessible website, in whole or in part.

Accounting Cycle (slide 2 of 2) The steps in the accounting cycle are as follows: o Step 1: Transactions are analyzed and recorded in the journal. o Step 2: Transactions are posted to the ledger. o Step 3: An unadjusted trial balance is prepared. o Step 4: Adjustment data are assembled and analyzed. o Step 5: An optional end-of-period spreadsheet (work sheet) is prepared. o Step 6: Adjusting entries are journalized and posted to the ledger. o Step 7: An adjusted trial balance is prepared. o Step 8: Financial statements are prepared. o Step 9: Closing entries are journalized and posted to the ledger. o Step 10: A post-closing trial balance is prepared. ©2016 Cengage Learning.

Fiscal Year The annual accounting period adopted by a business is known as its fiscal year. Fiscal years begin with the first day of the month selected and end on the last day of the following twelfth month. When a corporation adopts a fiscal year that ends when business activities have reached the lowest point in its annual operating cycle, such a fiscal year is called the natural business year. ©2016 Cengage Learning.

Financial Analysis and Interpretation: Working Capital and Current Ratio The ability to convert assets into cash is called liquidity. The ability of a business to pay its debts is called solvency. Two financial measures for evaluating a business’s short-term liquidity and solvency are working capital and the current ratio. ©2016 Cengage Learning. All Rights Reserved. May not be scanned, copied or duplicated, or posted to a publicly accessible website, in whole or in part.

Financial Analysis and Interpretation: Working Capital (slide 1 of 2) Working capital is the excess of the current assets of a business over its current liabilities. Working capital is computed as follows: A positive working capital implies that the business is able to pay its current liabilities and is solvent. ©2016 Cengage Learning. All Rights Reserved. May not be scanned, copied or duplicated, or posted to a publicly accessible website, in whole or in part. Working Capital = Current Assets – Current Liabilities
