may have been used up during the accounting period; and
4. To accurately report the liabilities on the balance sheet date.
Expenses may have been incurred but not yet paid.

F. Preparing the Adjusting Entries (Step 6 of the Accounting
Cycle)
Adjusting entries are entries made at the end of the accounting
period to assign revenues to the period in which they are earned
and expense to the period in which they are incurred. Adjusting
entries help measure the period’s income and bring the related
asset and liability accounts to correct balances to the financial
statements.
Adjusting entries are therefore made for the following reasons:
1. To report all revenues earned during the accounting period;
2. To report all expenses incurred to produce the revenues during
the accounting period;
3. To accurately report the assets on the balance sheet date.
Some may have been used up during the accounting period;
and
4. To accurately report the liabilities on the balance sheet date.
Expenses may have been incurred but not yet paid.
General Categories of Adjusting Entries
Adjusting entries can be generally divided into five categories:
1. Accrued Expenses. These are expenses that have been
incurred but not yet paid in cash.
The term accrued expense payable refers to a liability that
arises from an expense that the business has incurred but has
not yet paid.
Consider utility expenses (electricity and telephone). A
business gets the benefits of using the facilities provided by
Meralco and PLDT first before they are billed and paid.
Therefore, if at the end of the period, it is determined that the
business entity has accrued expense, the adjusting entry will be
to debit the expense and to credit liability.
Utilities expense xxx
Accrued expense payable xxx
To accrue utilities expense
9
2. Accrued Revenues. These are revenues that have been For Diane Reyes Law Firm, the Post-closing Trial Balance as
earned but not yet received in cash. of December 31, 2020 follows:
A revenue that has been earned but has not been received in
cash creates an asset called accrued revenue receivable.
For example, interest income on bank deposits earned at the
end of the month might be known or posted only in the following
month. the adjusting entry at the end of the month will be:
Accrued interest receivable xxx
Interest income xxx
To accrue interest income
3. Prepaid Expenses. These are expenses that have been paid
but will typically expire or get used up in the near future.
For example, some supplies purchased during the month may
remain unused at the end of the month. If the accountant
debited Supplies Expense at the time the supplies were
purchased, the adjusting entry to record the unused portion will
be:
Unused supplies xxx
Supplies Expense xxx
To record supplies inventory The Post-closing Trial Balance resembles the Balance Sheet. It
If however, the accountant debited Unused supplies (asset) at contains the ending balances of the permanent accounts: assets,
the time the items were purchased, the adjusting entry to take liabilities, and capital. No temporary accounts such as the
up the used portion will be: revenues, expenses or withdrawal accounts are included because
Supplies expense xxx their balances have been closed. The ledger is up to date and
Unused supplies xxx ready for the next period’s transactions.
To record the used portion of supplies
4. Unearned Revenues. These are revenues collected in
advance from customers but corresponding service or product
to be provided in the future.
Doing so, creates a liability called unearned revenue, which is
an obligation arising from receiving cash in advance of providing
a product or a service. It is only when the job or service is
completed will the business have earned the revenue.

To illustrate: Supposing a law firm has been hired on January 15

to provide legal services to a client and an advance payment of
₱50,000.00 is made.

10 23
For Diane Reyes Law Firm, the closing entries are as follows: Scenario 1:
As of January 31, no service by the law firm has yet been
provided and no billing statement has been prepared and sent to
the client.
a. If the accountant credit Service Revenue at the time the
advance payment is received, the adjusting entry at the end of
January will:
Service revenue 50,000
Unearned service revenue 50,000
To set up liability for unearned revenue

b. If the accountant credited Unearned Service Revenue at the

time the advance payment is received, there will be NO
adjusting entry at the end of January since none of the advance
collection has been earned and the total amount received
remains as a liability.

Scenario 2:
Supposing that ₱20,000.00 of the ₱50,000.00 received in
advance has earned for the service that has been rendered as of
January 31, what adjusting entry should be prepared?
a. If the accountant credited Service Revenue for ₱50,000.00 at
the time the advance payment is received, the adjusting entry at
After posting the closing journal entries to the general ledger the end of January will be:

5. Depreciation Expense. This is the expense associated with
allocating or spreading the cost of property and equipment over
their useful life.
Property and equipment are long-lived tangible assets used in
the operation of the business. Generally, all property and
equipment except land, decline in usefulness as they age.
This decline is an expense to the business. Accountants
systematically spread the cost of each property and equipment
except land, over the years of its useful life. This process of
allocating cost to expense is called depreciation.
In accrual-basis accounting, an asset is recorded when the
furniture is acquired. Then a portion of the asset’s cost is
transferred from the asset account to Depreciation Expense
each period that the asset is used. This method matches the
asset’s expense to the revenue of the period, which is an
application of the matching principle.
For example, on January 1, 2021, Rico Padilla purchased
furniture on account for ₱165,000.00 for his accounting firm.
The furniture will remain useful for five years and will be virtually
worthless at the end of its life.
Using the straight-line method, depreciation for one month is
computed as follows:
Thus: Depreciation expense for one month will be:
Depreciation expense for January is recorded as follows:
Depreciation expense – furniture 2,750
Accumulated depreciation – furniture 2,750
To record depreciation for January
Accumulated depreciation account is used to show the
cumulative sum of all depreciation expense from the date of
acquiring the asset. Accumulated depreciation is contra-asset
account which means an asset account with a normal credit
balance. For financial statement presentation purposes, the account
balance is subtracted from the balance of the Asset account
12
H. Closing the Books (Step 8 of the Accounting Cycle)
Closing the accounts is the step in the accounting cycle at
the end of the period that prepares the accounts for recording the
transactions of the next period. Closing the accounts consists of
journalizing and posting the closing entries to set the balances of
revenue, expense and owner withdrawal accounts to zero.
Closing entries are entries that transfer revenue, expense and
owner withdrawal balances from these respective accounts to the
capital account. As an intermediate step, the revenues and the
expenses are transferred first to an account entitled Income
Summary, which collects the total debit for the amount of all
expenses and the total credit for the sum of all the period's
revenues in one location.
The Income Summary is a temporary account that is used only in
the closing process and the balance is then transferred to a capital.
The steps in closing the accounts are as follows:
1. Debit each revenue account for the amount of its credit
balance. Credit Income Summary for the amount of all
revenues. This entry transfers the sum of the revenues to the
credit side of the Income Summary.
2. Credit the amount of the debit balance to each expense
account. Debit Income Summary for the amount of the
expenses. This entry transfers the amount of the expenses to
the debit side of the Income Summary.
3. Debit Income Summary for the amount of its credit balance
(revenues minus expenses), and credit the Capital account. If
Income Summary has a debit balance, then credit Income
summary for this amount, and debit Capital. This entry
transfers to the Capital Account the net gain or loss from the
Income Summary.
4. Credit the Withdrawals account for the sum of its debit
balance. Debit the Capital Account of the proprietor. This entry
moves the withdrawal number to the Capital Account debit
side. Withdrawals are not expenses and do not affect net
income or net loss.

coming in – cash receipts – and the amount of cash going out
– cash payment or disbursements – during a period. Business
activities result in a net cash inflow (receipts greater than
payment) or a net cash outflow (payment greater than
receipts). The Statement of Cash Flows shows the net
increase or decrease in cash during the period and the cash
balance at the end of the period.

G. Preparing the Financial Statements (Step 7 of the
Accounting Cycle)
The basic financial statements are the:
1. Income Statement
The Income Statement gives a summary of the revenues and
expenses of an entity for a specific period of time, such as a
month of a year. It is also called the Statement of Earnings or
Statement of Operations, is like a video of the entity’s
operations. The income statement holds perhaps the most
important single piece of information about a business – its net
income, revenue minus expenses. A net loss occurs for the
period if expenses exceed revenues.
2. Statement of Changes in Owner’s Equity
The Statement of Changes in Owner’s Equity presents a
summary of the changes that occurred in the owner’s equity of
the entity during a specific time period, such as a month or a
year. The increases in owner’s equity are the result of the
investments by the owner and from net income earned during
the period. Decreases occur from the owner's withdrawals and
from a net loss for the period. Directly from the Income
Statement comes net income or net loss. The capital
transactions between the company and its owner are
investments and withdrawals by the owner, so they do not
affect the income statement.
The operating cycle is the span of time during which:
1. Cash is used to acquire goods and services; and
2. These goods and services are sold to customers who in turn
pay for their purchases with cash.
Non-current Assets are all assets other than current
assets. They are uses to operate the business and are not held
for sale. One category of non-current is labeled as Property
and Equipment.
Current liabilities are debts that are due to be paid within
one year or within the entity’s operating cycle if longer than a
year.
Non-current liabilities are all liabilities that are not current
or those that are not due or payable within one year or within
the entity’s operating cycle.
The Statement of Financial Position or Balance sheet may be
prepared using either the:
a.Report Form. This format lists the assets at the top and
the liabilities and owner’s equity below
b.Account Form. This format lists the assets at the left and
the liabilities and the owner’s equity at the right.

3. Statement of Financial Position or Balance Sheet

The Statement of Financial Position or Balance Sheet lists all
the assets, liabilities and owner’s equity of an entity at a
specific date, usually the end of the month or a year. The
balance sheet is like a snapshot of the business.
On the Statement of Financial Position or Balance Sheet,
assets and liabilities are classified as either current or
non-current (long-term) to indicate their relative liquidity.
Liquidity is a measure of how quickly an item can be con-
verted to cash.
Current assets are assets that are intended to be turned
into cash, sold or used during the next 12 months or within the
business’s normal operating cycle if longer than a year.
