for the current period whether actually received in cash or not. Every asset is subject to wear and tear and the value of the asset gets reduced even if the loss on account of this is not recorded by means of a journal entry. Some stock of goods at the end of the period is left over and it has to be valued and be taken to accounts for fair computation of profit. Such internal adjustments have to be made and recorded before preparing Trading Account, Profit and Loss Account and Balance Sheet. The adjustments to be incorporated are briefly described in the following paragraphs. Self Assessment Questions 1: 1. Final account are prepared from trial balance, trial balance from ledger accounts and ledger account from books of original entry. So final accounts are reflection of original transaction (state True / False ). 2. Final accounts speak about profit or loss as on a particular day ( state True and False ) 3. Balance sheet tells the value of assets and liability as standing an a the last day of accounting period ? ( True / False ). 4. Adjustment in final accounts is necessitated because of accrual basis of accounting (state True / False ). 5. Adjusting entries are also regarded as ______ . 6. Adjustments such as outstanding and prepaid / received items are needed to find out _____________. 7. Adjustment entries are made before preparing tracking and P & L and balance sheet (True/False ). 7.2.1 Outstanding expenses Expenses due but not yet paid are known as outstanding expenses. Wages, salaries, rent, commission etc payable in the current month are paid in the following month. If final accounts are prepared for year ending 31st December, then the expenses payable for December will be paid in January of next year. The extent to which the amount belongs to the current year but

Unit 7
payable in the next year is called outstanding expenses. To record that aspect, the journal entry drawn in the Journal proper is: Concerned Expenses account Dr To outstanding Expenses account. Outstanding expenses account indicates liability for the current year and it will appear in the balance sheet. Example: Advertisement expenses for year 31-12-2003 outstanding is Dr 5000 5000
Rs.5000. The journal entry is Advertisement expenses account To Outstanding expenses account Self Assessment Questions 2: 1. Expenses due but not yet paid are known as ___________. 2. What is the entry if salaries are outstanding ? 3. If outstanding expenses appear in trial balance, what does it mean ? 4. Outstanding expenses appear an assets side of balance sheet ( state True / False ). 7.2.2 Prepaid Expenses Expenses paid in advance are regarded as prepaid expenses. Prepaid expenses form an asset and therefore prepaid expenses account is debited. For example, insurance premium is paid from April, 2004 to March, 2005 and the amount is Rs.3600. The financial year ends by 31st December, 2004. Therefore the premium relating to Jan, Feb and Mar of 2005 Rs.900 is said to have been paid in advance. To record this internal adjustment, the entry is Prepaid Expenses account To Insurance account Dr 900 900
Note that outstanding or prepaid expenses accounts are regarded as personal accounts.

What is the adjusting entry for rent received in advance ? 3. Income received in advance in the current year is ________ from the unearned item of income received. 7.2.5 Depreciation Depreciation is reduction in the value of an asset due to constant use of the same, which is called wear and tear. Fixed assets like, buildings, plant, machinery, furniture etc., are subject to depreciation. Whenever, an asset is depreciated, its value goes down and therefore it is a loss to the organization. Depreciation account is debited and the concerned asset account is credited. The item of depreciation may appear in the trial balance, which means that already the concerned asset is reduced by the amount of depreciation. If depreciation is given as an additional adjustment,
Page No.: 141

Unit 7
then the depreciation amount should be charged against profit and loss account on one hand and the concerned asset account is reduced on the other hand in the balance sheet. There are two popular methods of depreciation, namely fixed installment method and reducing balance method. In fixed installment method, depreciation is calculated on cost of the asset. In case of reducing balance method (Diminishing balance method), the depreciation is charged on the reducing balance of the book value of the asset. Reducing balance method is more popular and well recognized. Example Building is of the book value of Rs.400000. It is depreciated at 10% on fixed installment method. Show the journal entry and how does it appear in the balance sheet? Solution The entry for depreciation is Depreciation account Dr 40,000 To Building account 40,000
Depreciation being a loss is transferred to profit and loss account and in the balance sheet, the value of Building is shown as Rs.400000 40000 = 360000. Note: For the second year the depreciation will be Rs.40000 if the asset is depreciated under fixed installment method. If it is depreciated under reducing balance method, the depreciation for the second year is Rs.36000 (10% of 360000). Self Assessment Questions 6: 1. Depreciation is for __________ of an asset. 2. What entry is drawn if depreciation is provided ?

3. When depreciation account is transferred to P & L A/c , what entry do you draw ? 4. If depreciation to be provided in the adjustments, what do you understand by this ? 5. What is the method of depreciation recognized by Indian Income Tax Act? 6. If depreciation appears in the trial balance, what does it indicate ? 7.2.6 Bad Debts Bad debts are those debts which are not recovered. Bad debts form loss to the business and reduce the amount of debtors. Since bad debts are losses, they are debited and the debtors account is credited because the outstanding amount of debtors comes down. If bad debts are identified well before preparing trial balance, then bad debts appear in the trial balance and they should be taken to the debit side of profit and loss account. Since debtors account is already reduced by the amount of bad debts, it does not require any further adjustment in the balance sheet. If bad debts are shown outside the trial balance, which means that they are identified after the preparation of Trial Balance, then two adjustments should be incorporated. One bad debts should be charged against profits in P & L A/C and the second the debtors account should be reduced by the amount of bad debts in the balance sheet on the asset side. Example The sundry debtors for the year 2005 are Rs.50000. The bad debts amounted to Rs.4000 as on 31-12-2005 already shown in the trail balance. Write off further bad debts Rs5000. Show how the above internal adjustments appear in the final accounts.

Solution There are bad debts shown in the trial balance Rs4000 and not shown in the trial balance Rs.5000. To incorporate those bad debts not yet shown in the trial balance, the adjusting entry is Bad debts account Dr 5000 5000 To Debtors account
In the profit and loss account of 2005, the total bad debts appearing on the debit side are Rs. 9000(4000 + 5000) In the balance sheet, on the asset side, the amount of debtors is Rs45000(50000 -5000).
Self Assessment Questions 7: 1. Unrecovered debts are called ______. 2. Bad debts are not expenses but they form losses. (state True / false ) 3. What is the entry made in journal proper, if bad debts are recorded. 4. What entry do you make to close the bad debts ? 5. What impact bad debts have on profits ? 6. If bad debts are recovered, what entry can be drawn ? 7.2.7 Provision for Doubtful Debts Debts that can not be recovered are called bad debts but debts, the recovery of which is doubtful, are called doubtful debts. From the past experience of the business proprietor, what percentage of good debts may become bad in future, can be estimated and in the current year itself an equal amount of profit be set aside. This provision is known as Reserve for Bad Debts or Provision for Doubtful Debts or Reserve for Doubtful Debts. Since the provision for bad debts is a charge against current year profit, the adjusting entry is to debit P & L A/C and credit Provision for Bad Debts Account.

To Provision for bad debts account Provision for bad debts is a liability to be incurred in future and so it should appear on the liability side of balance sheet. However, the convention is RBD (Reserve for Bad and Doubtful Debts) is deducted from the amount of good debtors. The important note here is that RBD is computed as a percentage of good debts, which means total debtors minus bad debts unadjusted. Provision for bad and doubtful debts is a running account and every year the amount keeps on changing because from the provision made in the current year, bad debts occurring in the following year have to be adjusted and additional amount of provision to be made is calculated. Every year, the amount transferred to P & L A/C is B + N O, where B stands for bad debts; N stands for new provision and O stands for old reserve. For example, the old reserve stands at Rs.15000 and bad debts to be adjusted is Rs4000 and new reserve to be maintained is Rs18000. The amount to be charged against profits in P&L A/C is Rs.7000 (4000 + 18000 15000). The formula can also be shown as N - O + B = 18000 15000 + 4000 = 7000 Self Assessment Questions 8: 1. What is the difference between Bad debts and doubtful debts? 2. Provision is made for Debts which have become bad (state True / False). 3. Provision for Doubtful debts is a change against the profits of the firm (state True / False ) 4. Bad debts incurred in the subsequent period are written off against reserve for bad debts (state True / False ). 5. What is the entry for writing off of bad debts against RBD?

Unit 7
6. If RBD is freshly to be provided, what entry can be draw? 7. RBD is calculated on debtors which are good and so any bad debts out side trial balance should be deducted out of total debtors (state True / False ). Illustration: On 1st January 2006, the RBD account stood at Rs.9000 in the books of a merchant. The bad debts written off during the year ended 31st December, 2006 amounted to Rs.4800 and Sundry Debtors stood at Rs.480000. It was desired to maintain the reserve for bad debts at 5% on Debtors. During the year 2007 bad debts written off amounted to Rs.12000 and sundry debtors on 31st December 2007 amounted to Rs.380000.As usual 5% reserve was required.

NOTE: On January 1st 2006, the RBD account stands at Rs9000 and during the year the actual bad debts are Rs4800 and so there is unused balance of Rs.4200 (9000 -4800). It is desirable to have reserve of 5% of 480000 Rs24000. Therefore additional reserve required to be provided in P & L A/C is Rs19800 (24000 4200). Similarly during 2007 the actual bad debts are Rs.12000 and the available reserve is used for writing it off. Still there is a balance left over is Rs.12000 (24000 12000). The additional reserve to be maintained is 5% of 380000, that comes to Rs19000. So the additional amount to be provided in P & L A/C in 2007 is Rs.7000 (19000 12000). Reserve for Bad Debts Account Dr

7.2.8 Reserve for Discount on debtors: There are two types of discounts allowed to customers in a business. One is trade discount and another is cash discount. Trade discount is given to customers to retain the customers and it is shown in the invoice itself. It means that trade discount does not come to accounting records at all. But cash discount is allowed to customers to encourage them to pay cash promptly at the earliest. Normally cash discount gets recorded in cash account. Out of experience, a businessman can guess how much of cash discount he may have to give on customers accounts. Cash discount given to debtors is always a loss and is shown as expenditure in the Profit and Loss Account. After anticipating the amount of cash discount allowable, a provision is made in the current year itself. In the subsequent years, the actual discount allowed is set off against the provision for discount on debtors. Every year, the amount of provision for discount on debtors is deducted from the profits. The entry for making the provision is Profit and Loss Account Dr
To Provision for discount on debtors account Just as in the case of provision for bad and doubtful debts, the bad debts are first written off against provision for bad debts and later the required amount of provision is provided in the P&L A/c, similar procedure takes place in the case of provision for discount on debtors. The following guide lines may be kept in mind while dealing with the reserve for discount on debtors 1. If a reserve for discount on debtors is not existing and cash discount is allowed, then transfer the discount to P&L account. 2. Any fresh reserve for discount on debtors is to be made, debit the P&L A ccount with the amount of reserve.
Unit 7
3. If provision for discount on debtors exists at the time of providing discount, then write off the discount from the provision already made for the purpose. 4. New provision should then be calculated and only as much as required to bring the existing provision to the new figure should be debited to P&L Account. 5. If the new provision required is lower than the provision already existing (old), then the difference shows profit and transfer the same to P&L Account. Self Assessment Questions 9: 1. what is the aim of giving cash discount ? 2. If discount is allowed against receivables, what entry do you draw in journal proper? 3. Provision for Discount on debtors is a charge against P & L a/c. (state True / False). 4. Provision for discount on debtors appears as a liablility in the balance sheet ( state True / False ) 5. What is the basis for calculating provision for discount an debtors? Illustration The following items are found in the trial balance of Praksh on 31st December 2000. Sundry Debtors Bad Debts written off Discount allowed to Debtors Reserve for Bad and doubtful Debts 31-12-1999 Reserve for discount on Debtors 31-12-1999 Rs. 160000 9000 1800 16500 3200

In the balance sheet, the Sundry debtors are reduced by bad debts shown out side the trial balance, the new RBD, discount on debtors shown out side the trial balance and the new Reserve for discount on debtors. 7.2.9 Reserve for discount on creditors Just as reserve is for discount on debtors is created, reserve for discount on creditors is also created. Businessman expects that he would receive discounts from suppliers (creditors), when the businessman remits cash to them. Anticipating some percentage of creditors being received as discount in the coming year, the business proprietor makes a provision for the expected income in the current year itself. Discount on creditors is an income and therefore reserve for discount on creditors is debited and profit and loss account is credited to show it as anticipated profit. In the subsequent year, when discount on creditors is actually received, it is first set of against provision for discount on creditors and the difference between the new provision for discount on creditors and the balance of old provision left over is carried to P&L Account.

It is an internal adjustment. Closing stock is normally valued at cost or market price which ever is lower, even though there are several other methods to value stock.
