Time Period Assumption the process of dividing the economic life of a business into artificial time periods; also known as periodicity concept Accounting Periods 1. Calendar Year a twelve-month period that ends on December 31 2. Natural Business Year a twelve-month period that ends on any month when the business is at the lowest or experiencing slack season Two Methods of Recognizing Revenues and Expenses: 1. Cash-Basis Accounting revenue is recorded when cash is received, and an expense is recorded when cash is paid; cash-basis accounting is not in accordance with GAAP 2. Accrual Basis of Accounting transactions that change a companys financial statements are recorded in the periods in which the events occur ; accrual basis of accounting is the principle supported by GAAP Revenue and Expense Recognition Principles Revenue Recognition Principle is recognized when it is probable that economic benefits will flow to the enterprise and these economic benefits can be measured reliably [PAS No. 18, Revenue] Expense Recognition Principle expenses are recognized in the income statement when it is probable that a decrease in future economic benefits related to a decrease in an asset or an increase of a liability has arisen, and that the decrease in economic benefits can be measured reliably Three Broad Applications of the Matching Principle 1. Cause and Effect Association the expense is recognized when the revenue is already recognized; also known as direct association; examples: cost of merchandise inventory, doubtful accounts, warranty expense, sales commission 2. Systematic and Rational Allocation some costs are expensed by simply allocating them over the periods benefited; examples: depreciation of property, plant and equipment, amortization of intangibles, and allocation of prepaid rent, insurance and other prepayments 3. Immediate Recognition the cost incurred is expensed outright because of uncertainty of future economic benefits or difficulty of reliably associating certain costs with future revenue; examples: officers salaries and most administrative expenses, advertising and most selling expenses, am ount to settle lawsuit and worthless intangibles 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 Each adjusting entry affects a balance sheet account (an asset or a liability account) and an income statement account (income or expense account) Cash should not be included in any adjusting entries that you will make Adjusting entries are necessary for three situations: 1. Prepayments 2. Accruals 3. Estimates Characteristics of the Two General Types of Adjustments 1. Accruals the recognition of an expense already incurred but unpaid, or revenue earned but uncollected a. This adjustment deals with an amount unrecorded in any account; the entry, in effect, increases both a balance sheet and an income statement account b. Accruals would be required in two cases: i. Accruing expenses to reflect expenses incurred during the accounting period that are unpaid and unrecorded ii. Accruing revenues to reflect revenues earned during the accounting period that are uncollected and unrecorded 2. Deferrals the postponement of the recognition of an expense already paid but not yet incurred, or of revenue already collected but n ot yet earned; also known as prepayments a. This adjustment deals with an amount already recorded in a balance sheet account; the entry, in effect, decreases the balance sheet account and increases an income statement account b. Deferrals would be needed in two cases: i. Allocating assets to expense to reflect expenses incurred during the accounting period (example: prepaid insurance, supplies and depreciation) ii. Allocating revenues received in advance to revenue to reflect revenues earned during the accounting period (example: subscriptions) Types of Adjusting Entries 1. Accruals a. Accrued Revenues revenues earned but not yet received in cash or recorded b. Accrued Expenses expenses incurred but not yet paid in cash or recorded 2. Deferrals a. Prepaid Expenses expenses paid in cash and recorded as assets before they are used or consumed; also known as deferred expense b. Unearned Revenues cash received and recorded as liabilities before revenue is earned; also known as deferred revenues Two Approaches for Recording Deferrals 1. Deferred Revenues represents a liability of the business since cash was collected for service that has not been rendered yet a. Liability Method b. Income Method 2. Deferred Expense represents an advance payment for service or expense still to be incurred or used up in the future a. Asset Method b. Expense Method

METHODS OF ESTIMATING DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS (1) Aging of Accounts Receivable RA = Balance x Experience Rate of Percent Uncollectible DAE = RA allowance before adjustment (credit balance) DAE = RA + allowance before adjustment (debit balance) (2) Percent of Accounts Receivable RA = Rate x AR DAE = RA allowance before adjustment (credit balance)
DAE = RA + allowance before adjustment (debit balance) Rate = (ADA / AR) x 100 (3) Percent of Sales Rate = BDE / S Net Credit Sales = S (SRA + SD) DAE = Rate x Sales VI.

ACCOUNTING TECHNIQUES FOR ANALYSIS (1) BRANCH ANALYSIS Demonstrates the relationship of accounts specifically the (1) Sales, (2) AR, (3) Cash, (4) SRA, (5) SD, (6) ADA, and other sub-entries The primary purpose is the decomposition of broad accounting terminology to its specific and easily identifiable terms Sales Cash SRA Cash received With discount Cash paid (collections) SD Cash paid (collections) AR Without discount AFC ASR ASD SRA SD WO WO Rec
(2) LEDGER ANALYSIS Demonstrates the relationship of journal entry transactions to a specific ledger account The primary purpose is to allow visualization of the problem which permits translation to mathematical equations and algebraic manipulations (normal balance = debit) (normal balance = credit) a c a c b d b d e e Case 1: If (a + b) > (c + d) Then Case 2: If (a + b) < (c + d) Then (a + b) (c + d) = e (c + d) (a + b) = e
Consequently, any part of this literal equation can be solved using algebraic rules as a tool for manipulation. Sources and References: Financial Accounting Volume One (2012); Condrado T.
