COURSE INTRODUCTION
This course provides an introduction to accounting, within the context of business
and business decisions. Students explore the role of accounting information in the
decision-making process and learn how to use various types of accounting information
found in financial statements and annual reports. This course starts with a discussion of
accounting thought and the theoretical background of accounting and the accounting
profession. The next topic is the accounting cycle - recording, handling, and summarizing
accounting data, including the preparation and presentation of financial statements for
merchandising and service companies. Moreover, it continues with transactions, financial
statements, and problems peculiar to the operations of partnerships and corporations as
distinguished from sole proprietorships. Topics include accounting for partnership formation
and operations; share capital issuances, treasury shares, other related transactions
affecting accumulated profits. Emphasis is placed on understanding the reasons
underlying basic accounting concepts and providing students with an adequate
background on the recording, classification, and summarization functions of accounting to
enable them to appreciate the varied uses of accounting data.

One of the main purposes of accounting is to accumulate the information
necessary for the preparation of the financial statements. Although many merchandising
enterprises prepare interim statements on a monthly or quarterly basis, a complete cycle of
business operations usually occurs every twelve months. At yearly intervals throughout the
life of a business enterprise, the operating data for the fiscal year must be summarized and
reported for the use of managers, owners, creditors, etc. Various assets of the enterprise on
the last day of the fiscal year, together with the status of the equities of creditors and
owners, must also be reported. The ledger, which contains the basic data for the reports,
must then be brought up to date through proper adjusting entries. Finally, the accounts
must be prepared to receive entries for transactions that will occur in the following year.
The sequence of year-end procedures are as follows:
Similar to a service business, under the accrual basis of accounting, there is a need
to adjust the ledger balances of a merchandising business for the following reasons:
The adjusting entries as well as the concepts underlying each have been extensively
discussed in the last module.
THE WORKSHEET
Worksheet, in its broad sense, includes any columnar and systematic presentation of
accounting data. It ls usually prepared for the purpose of easily computing for certain
needed information or values. Sometimes called working paper or spreadsheet, it is a
useful tool in organizing and computing for a wide range of information that is needed by
the decision-makers within the business organization.

means, electronic, mechanical, photocopying, recording, or otherwise of any part of this document, without the prior written permission of SLU, is strictly prohibited. 3
Although the worksheet is not a part of the financial reports, it facilitates the
preparation of various kinds of financial reports. It also gives the data-users a preview of
needed figures without the necessity of preparing formal reports and/or schedules. It shows
the pro-forma financial statement figures based on plans of actions and proposals. It is also
helpful in preparing interim financial statements whenever the actual journalizing and
posting of transactions are not considered feasible. As such, a worksheet can be a tool in
analyzing the effects of plans and proposals.
The worksheet is a place where the adjusting entries can be prepared informally
before they are entered in the books of accounts. Preparing a worksheet is a convenient
and a fast way to determine certain adjusted account balances. It provides a place
where accounts and amounts can be organized according to the financial statements in
which they will appear.
The preparation of a worksheet ls one of the optional steps ln the accounting cycle.
It ls not needed if there are few account titles in the trial balance and/or there are only few
items that require adjustments. If the accountant decides not to prepare a worksheet, the
adjustments should be journalized and posted before the financial statements can be
prepared. If there ls no worksheet, the financial statements can be prepared directly from
the general ledger after the adjusting entries are posted.
In this module, an eight (8)- column worksheet will be prepared with the following column
headings:
c. Adjustments
All column headings except for the Account Title should occupy two money
columns, one for debit and another for credit. The words 'Debit" and "Credit" must also be
written as part of the said column headings. ·

means, electronic, mechanical, photocopying, recording, or otherwise of any part of this document, without the prior written permission of SLU, is strictly prohibited. 4
Step 1. Unadjusted Trial Balance
The unadjusted trial balance is entered in the first two columns of the worksheet. The
accounts with debit balances are entered on the debit column and the accounts with
credit balances are entered on the credit column. It is important that the debits and
credits equal before proceeding to the next step.
Step 3. Extend the adjusted balances into the proper Income Statement and Balance Sheet
columns.
Combine the figures in the trial balance and the adjustments columns. This is
analogous to finding the new balance in each account. If the total of the debits exceeds
the total of the credits, the account is said to have an adjusted debit balance. Assets,
expenses, losses and the drawing account normally have adjusted debit balances. On the
other hand, if the total of the credits exceeds the total of the debits, the account is said to
have an adjusted credit balance. Liabilities, contra-asset accounts, capital account,
revenues and gains normally have adjusted credit balances.
The adjusted balances of the assets and drawing account are extended to the
debit side of the Balance Sheet columns. The adjusted balances of the liabilities,
capital, contra-asset accounts (allowance for bad debts and accumulated
depredation) are extended to the credit side of the Balance Sheet columns.
The adjusted balances of the expenses, losses, and contra-revenue accounts
(Sales Discount, and Sales Returns and Allowances) are extended to the debit
side of the Income Statement columns. The adjusted balances of the revenues,
gains, and contra-expense accounts (Purchase Discounts, and Purchase
Returns and Allowances) are extended to the credit side of the Income
Statement columns.
An exception to the usual practice of extending only the account balances should
be noted. Both the debit and credit amounts for Income Summary are extended to the
Income Statement columns. Since both the amount of the debit adjustment (beginning
inventory) and the amount of the credit adjustment (ending inventory) will be reported on
the income statement, there is no need to determine the difference between the two
amounts.

means, electronic, mechanical, photocopying, recording, or otherwise of any part of this document, without the prior written permission of SLU, is strictly prohibited. 5
Step 4. Net Income or Net Loss
After all of the items have been extended into the statement sections of the
worksheet, the four columns are totaled and the net income or net loss is determined.
The difference, or the balancing figure, is the profit or loss during the reporting
period. If the sub-total of the credit side of the Income Statement column (which contains
the revenues, gains, and contra-expense accounts) is greater than the sub-total of the
debit side (which contains the expenses, losses, and contra-revenue accounts), then the
operations during the period resulted in a profit. If the sub-total of the debit side exceeds
the sub-total of the credit side, the operation resulted in a loss.
If there is a profit, the balancing figure is entered simultaneously in the debit side of
the Income Statement column and in the credit side of the Balance Sheet column.
Indicate on the left side of the worksheet, under the Account Title column, on the same line
where the balancing figure is entered the description Net Income.
If there is a loss, the balancing figure is entered simultaneously in the credit side of
the Income Statement column and in the debit side of the Balance Sheet column. Indicate
on the left side of the worksheet, under the Account Title column, on the same line where
the balancing figure is entered the description Net Loss.
A profit is extended to the credit side of the balance sheet column to indicate an
increase in the capital of the proprietor, while a loss is extended to the debit side of the
balance sheet column to indicate a decrease in the capital.

means, electronic, mechanical, photocopying, recording, or otherwise of any part of this document, without the prior written permission of SLU, is strictly prohibited. 6
Step 5. Foot the debit and credit sides of the Income Statement and Balance Sheet
columns
Add the debit and credit columns of the Income Statement columns. Note that the
totals of the debit and credit sides become equal after the balancing figure is written on
the smaller side. After extending the amount of profit from the Income statement to the
credit side of the balance sheet, or the loss to the debit side of the balance sheet, the
totals of the two sides of the column will become equal. Once they are equal, the
worksheet is considered balanced.

INCOME STATEMENT
Revenue. Revenues are inflows of future economic benefits that increase equity,
other than contributions by owners. In a merchandising concern the main source of
revenue is the sales of merchandise to customers. The other operating revenues are
the revenues and gains from peripheral or incidental transactions of the enterprise.
These are not directly related to the principal or primary operations but nevertheless
part of the operating activities of the enterprise. Examples are interest revenue, gain
on sale of a fixed asset, dividend revenue, etc.
Expense. Expenses are consumption or outflows of future economic benefits that
decrease equity, other than distributions or dividends paid to owners. Specifically,
expenses include the following: (a} Cost of Goods Sold, (b} Operating Expenses -

The basic purpose of a statement of cash flows is to provide information about the
cash receipts and cash payments of a business entity during the accounting period. The
term cash flows includes both cash receipts and cash payments. In addition, the statement
is intended to provide information about the operating, investing, and financing activities
of the company during the period. A statement of cash flows assists investors, creditors and
others in assessing such factors as:

Journalizing of the adjusting entries could have been done at the same time as it
was made during the review of accounts and gathering of data for adjustments but it
would be more convenient to do it together with the closing entries. At this point, the
entries will now be easy to prepare because they are already in the worksheet.
After the entries are posted, the balances of all assets, liabilities, revenue, and
expense accounts correspond exactly to the amounts reported in the financial statements.
Based on the worksheet for JC Trading Company, the adjusting entries are:

Date Particulars Debit Credit
Immediately after journalizing and posting adjusting entries, another set of entries is
prepared. The Statement of Changes in Owner's Equity explicitly shows the effect of net
income or loss and owner's withdrawals on capital. Such effect is reflected in the books of
accounts through the preparation of CLOSING ENTRIES.
Closing entries are journal entries prepared at the end of the accounting period to
transfer temporary account balances to the capital account. After posting these entries,
all nominal accounts would have ZERO balances; thus, they are said to be closed and are
ready to accumulate data in the next accounting period.

The Income Summary account is distinct from the other accounts because it has no
normal balance. If the business operations resulted in a net income, i.e. the revenues are
greater than the expenses; this account will have a credit balance. If there is a net loss, i.e.
expenses exceeded the revenues; it will have a debit balance.
The Drawing account, on the other hand, is closed directly to the capital account.
The account titles and adjusted balances to be debited and credited in the closing entries
may come directly from any of the following:
General ledger - after all adjusting entries have already been posted
As a summary, we can say that there are basically four closing entries:
(1) An entry to close all statement of comprehensive income accounts with credit
balances (revenue) to the Income Summary account.
(2) An entry to close all statement of comprehensive income accounts with debit
balances (expenses) to the Income Summary account

Date Particulars Debit Credit
a. The first entry closes all revenue and related accounts to Income Summary.
Revenue accounts with credit balances are closed by debiting such accounts and
transferring to the credit side of Income Summary. Contra-revenue accounts, like
Sales returns and allowances, with a normal debit balance, are credited and a
debit to the Income Summary account is made.
b. The second entry closes all expense and related accounts to Income Summary.
Expense accounts with debit balances are closed by crediting such accounts and
transferring to the debit side of Income Summary. Contra-expense accounts, like
Purchase returns and allowances with a normal credit balance, are debited and a
credit to the Income Summary account is made.
c. The third entry closes Income Summary by transferring its balance, the net income
for the year, to the owner's capital account.
d. The fourth entry closes the drawing account by transferring its balance to the
owner's capital account.
The Income Summary account, as it will appear after the merchandise inventory
adjustments and the closing entries have been posted, is presented below. Each item in
the account is identified as an aid to understanding, such notations are not an essential
part of the posting procedure.

POST-CLOSING TRIAL BALANCE
The last step of the accounting cycle for the current period is the preparation of the
post-closing trial balance which pertains to the resulting figures after posting the closing
entries to the ledger. This is done to check whether the equal ty of the debits and the
credits had been maintained all throughout the process. At this point, the remaining
balances will only be those of the real accounts or the balance sheet accounts. The post-
closing trial balance of JC Trading Company is shown on the next page.
REVERSING ENTRIES
After the books have been closed and the post-closing trial balance prepared
signaling the end of the accounting period, the accountant begins the new accounting
period by making reversing entries. A reversing entry is a general journal entry made at the
beginning of the new accounting period to reverse an adjusting entry that was recorded
at the end of the preceding period.
Illustrations have been made on the subject of reversing entries. By way of summarizing
therefore, the following adjusting entries prepared at the end of the preceding period are
reversed:
Using the illustrative problem, the following reversing entries should be made in the
general journal on January 1, 2011 (the beginning of the new accounting period)
