Learning Objectives After studying this chapter, you should be able to: Use double-entry accounting. Analyze and journalize transactions. Post journal entries to the ledgers. Prepare and use a trial balance. Close revenue and expense accounts and update retained income.

Journalizing Transactions Journalizing - the process of entering transactions into the journal Journal entry - an analysis of the effects of a transaction on the accounts, usually accompanied by an explanation of the transaction –This analysis identifies the accounts to be debited and credited.

Journalizing Transactions The conventional form for journal entries includes the following: –The date and identification number of the entry –The accounts affected and an explanation of the transaction –The posting reference, which is the number assigned to each account affected by the transaction –The amounts that the accounts are to be debited and credited

Posting Transactions to the Ledger Posting - transferring of amounts from the journal to the appropriate accounts in the ledger –Dates, explanations, and journal references are provided in detail on paper formatted with special columns.

Posting Transactions to the Ledger Cross-referencing - the process of numbering or otherwise specifically identifying each journal entry and each posting –Transactions are often posted to several different accounts, but cross-referencing allows users to find all components of a transaction in the ledger no matter where they start. –Cross-referencing also allows auditors to find and correct errors.

Analyzing, Journalizing, and Posting Transactions Types of journal entries: –Simple entry - an entry for a transaction that affects only two accounts –Compound entry - an entry for a transaction that affects more than two accounts Remember: whether the entry is simple or compound, the debits (left side) and credits (right side) must always equal.

Ledger Accounts A simplified version of a ledger account is called the T-account. –They allow us to capture the essence of the accounting process without having to worry about too many details. –The account is divided into two sides for recording increases and decreases in the accounts. Account Title Left SideRight Side

Ledger Accounts Balance - difference between total left-side amounts and total right-side amounts at any particular time –Assets have left-side balances. Increased by entries to the left side Decreased by entries to the right side –Liabilities and Owners’ Equity have right-side balances. Decreased by entries to the left side Increased by entries to the right side

Revenue and Expense Transactions Retained Income is merely accumulated revenues less expenses, but we cannot just increase or decrease the Retained Income account directly. –This would make preparing the income statement very difficult By accumulating revenues and expenses separately, a more meaningful income statement can be easily prepared.

Revenue and Expense Transactions Revenue and expense accounts are a part of Retained Income. Retained Income ExpenseRevenue DecreaseIncrease Debit Increase Credit Increase

Revenue and Expense Transactions Summary of revenue and expense transactions: –A credit to a revenue increases the revenue and increases Retained Income. –A debit to a revenue decreases the revenue and decreases Retained Income. –A credit to an expense decreases the expense and increases Retained Income. –A debit to an expense increases the expense and decreases Retained Income.

Revenue and Expense Transactions Keeping revenues and expenses in separate accounts makes the preparation of the income statement easier. –The income statement provides a detailed explanation of how operations caused the balance of Retained Income shown on the balance sheet to change from the beginning of the year to the end of the year.

Preparing the Trial Balance Once all transactions have been posted to the ledger, a trial balance is prepared. Trial balance - a list of all of the accounts with their balances –It is prepared as a test or check before continuing the recording process.

Preparing the Trial Balance The purposes of the trial balance: –To help check on accuracy of posting by proving whether the total debits equal the total credits –To establish a convenient summary of balances in all accounts for the preparation of formal financial statements

Preparing the Trial Balance The trial balance is usually prepared with the balance sheet accounts first, followed by the income statement accounts.

Deriving Financial Statements from the Trial Balance The trial balance is the starting point for the preparation of the balance sheet and the income statement. –The income statement accounts are summarized in a single account called Net Income, which becomes part of Retained Income in the balance sheet. –The trial balance shows the beginning balance in Retained Income because no changes have actually been made to the account during the year.

Deriving Financial Statements from the Trial Balance Note that a trial balance may balance even when errors were made in recording or posting. –A transaction may be recorded as different amounts in two different accounts. –A transaction may be recorded in a wrong account. In both situations, the total debits will still equal total credits on the trial balance. Dr. = Cr.

Closing the Accounts Once the financial statements are prepared, the ledger accounts must be prepared to record the next period’s transactions. This process is called closing the books. –The balances in all “temporary” stockholders’ equity accounts are transferred to a “permanent” stockholders’ equity account. –The revenue and expense accounts are “reset” to zero and the current net income is transferred to Retained Income.

Closing the Accounts The Closing Process: –The revenue accounts are closed to Income Summary in the first entry. –The expense accounts are closed to Income Summary in the second entry. –The amount of Net Income (revenues - expenses) is then transferred from Income Summary to Retained Income.

Effects of Errors When a journal entry contains an error, it can be erased or crossed out only if the error is detected before the entry is posted to the ledgers. If the error is detected after posting, a correcting entry must be made. –The correcting entry counteracts the incorrect entry and assures that the correct account is debited or credited for the proper amount.
