Adjusting Entries and the Work Sheet

Adjusting Entries and the Work Sheet

1

Prepare end-of-period

adjustments.

END-OF-PERIOD ADJUSTMENTSEND-OF-PERIOD ADJUSTMENTS

• Changes occur that affect the business’s financial condition:

– Equipment wearing out– Prepaid insurance and supplies being

used up– Employees earning wages that have

not yet been paid• Since these events have not been entered into

the accounting system, ADJUSTING ENTRIES must be made.

MATCHING PRINCIPLEMATCHING PRINCIPLE

• Requires the matching of REVENUES EARNED during an accounting period with the EXPENSES INCURRED

• Provides the best measure of net income

• Necessitates accounts be brought up to date before financial statements are prepared

FISCAL YEARFISCAL YEAR

• A 12-month period of time used as an accounting period

• Does not need to be the same as a calendar year

• Many businesses schedule their fiscal year to end when business is slow

Post adjusting entries to

the general ledger.

HISTORICAL COST PRINCIPLEHISTORICAL COST PRINCIPLE

• Assets are recorded at their actual cost.

• The cost remains on the books as long as the business owns the asset.

• No adjustments are made for changes in the market value of the asset.

USEFUL LIFEUSEFUL LIFE

• The period of time that an asset is expected to help produce revenues.

• Useful life expires as a result of wear and tear or because it no longer satisfies the needs of the business.

• As this happens, depreciation expense should be recognized and the value of the asset should be reduced.

DEPRECIATION EXPENSEDEPRECIATION EXPENSE

• Depreciation is a method of matching an asset’s original cost against the revenue produced over the useful life.

• There are many depreciation methods. (We will use the straight-line method.)

• Depreciation expense is based on estimates of useful lives and salvage values.

SALVAGE VALUESALVAGE VALUE

• The expected market value or selling price of an asset at the end of its useful life

• Also called:

– Scrap value, or – Residual value

STRAIGHT-LINE DEPRECIATION EXAMPLESTRAIGHT-LINE DEPRECIATION EXAMPLE

Jessie has motor scooters with an estimated useful live of 3

years, no salvage value, and an original cost of $3,600.

Because Jessie expects the scootersto be of no value when the three yearsare over, the whole $3,600 cost needsto be spread over the next three years.


FORMULA:

1st step: Calculate the depreciable cost.

Original Cost

Salvage Value =

Depreciable Cost

$3,600 $0 = $3,600

–

–

37


2nd step: Determine depreciation expense for this accounting period.

FORMULA:

Depreciable Cost

Estimated Useful Life

$3,600Since we are trying to compute

depreciation for one month,we will use months instead

of years.

=



FORMULA:

Depreciable Cost


$3,60036 months

=



FORMULA:

Depreciable Cost


$3,60036 months

= =$100 per month


Now that we know depreciation for June is $100, let’s figure out the adjusting

entry.

We do NOT adjust this account.It should always reflect the ORIGINAL COST of the asset.

ACCUMULATED DEPRECIATION—

ACCUMULATED DEPRECIATIONACCUMULATED DEPRECIATION

• Is a contra-asset account

– “Contra” means opposite• Has a credit balance (the opposite of an asset) • Is deducted from the related asset account on

the balance sheet

• The value carried on the books or in the accounting records

• Book Value = Cost of Plant Assets – Accumulated Depreciation

Prepare a work sheet.

THE WORK SHEETTHE WORK SHEET

• Pulls together all of the information needed to:

– Enter adjusting entries – Prepare financial statements

• Is not a financial statement

• Is not a formal part of the accounting system

• Ordinarily, only the accountant uses a work sheet

• Commonly in a 10-column format
