TRANSCRIPT

Introductiony Principle Involved: Periodicity- entity s life can be

subdivided into equal time periods for reporting purposes. y Problems: 1. Users need timely information to serve as a basis on making decisions about future activities. 2. The business is expected to continue its operation for an indefinite period of time. 3. It is not cost-efficient to wait until a business has ceased its operations before we can measure the entity s performance.

The Need for Adjustmentsy The trial balance does not show all the information

needed in the preparation of financial statements (some elements are not fairly or completely stated). y Distinction Between ACCRUAL and CASH Bases of Accounting:a. ACCRUAL- recognizes income as it is earned regardless of when it is received; expense as it is incurred regardless of when paid. b. CASH BASIS- Revenues and expenses are recognized only when they are received or paid, respectively.

Accrued ExpensesSituation Principles Involved Elements Affected Entry Reason for Recognition Examples Expense incurred but not yet paid; because it was not yet paid, it was not recorded in the books Expense Recognition Liability Recognition Accrual Basis Assumption Expenses (Increase)l, Liabilities (Increase) A liability is created because the unpaid expense constitutes an obligation of the company which will be paid in the future. Expense Liability xx xx

Expenses (understated), Income (overstated) Liabilities (understated), Capital (overstated) Salaries Expense-, Rent Expense, Interest Expense on Notes Payable

Example 1-Salaries Expensey Mark Anthony Lee Company pays its employee on a

weekly basis (every Friday) at the uniform rate of P600 per day. Suppose December 31, 2008, the company s year-end, falls on a Tuesday. No entry was made to record salaries expense because payment is still on Friday, January 3, 2009.

Entry: Salaries Expense Salaries Payable

1,200 1,200

Example 1- Salaries ExpenseEntry: Salaries Expense Salaries Payable 1,200 1,200

y Note: In this case, the employees have already

rendered services for two days, so an obligation already exists for those services already rendered but not yet paid and not yet recorded.

Example 2- Interest Expense on Notes Payabley Mark Anthony Bello Company issued a P100,000, 90-day,

18% note. The note matures on January 30, 2009 at which date, the principal and the interest due on the note will be paid.

y Entry: Interest Expense Interest Payable(100,000 x 18% x 60/360 = 3,000)

3,000 3,000

Example 2- Interest Expense on Notes PayableEntry: Interest Expense Interest Payable 3,000 3,000

Note: The company has an accrued interest covering the months of November and December. The said interest has not been taken up because it will be paid only on the maturity date. Since the expense will not be paid until January 30, 2009, its recognition should give rise to a liability.
