Accounting Principles (1) Chapter (1) Dr.Mohamed Hanafy

Chapter 1 1) What is Accounting? Accounting:- Is the information system of Identifying, recording and communicating financial information about economic events (transactions) of an organization (business) to interested users using financial statements . So, there are 3 activities of Accounting: 1-Identifying:- Select the economic activities that can be expressed in Term of money. 2-Recording: - Entering the business transactions into a set of accounting Records. 3-Communicating:- Communicate the financial information to interested Users using financial statements (reports).

 Imp. Note: These financial statements (F.S.) should be prepared according to Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP.) * GAAP: Are the common standards that indicate how to report the economic events. 2) Accounting concepts: Assets (A):- Are economic resources owned by the business and are expected to provide future benefits. Assets could be classified into two categories as follows: 1- Fixed (long term) assets: Assets that acquired for using in a business's operations (Not for resale to customers) and provide services for a long period of time. Such as: - Land. - Cars. - Building. - Machines. - Office Equipment. - Trucks. - Furniture.

2) Accounting concepts (Continued): * Revenues: Generally, revenues result from selling merchandise, performing services, renting property, and lending money. Common sources of revenue are sales, fees, services, commissions, interest, and rent. Revenue is defined as: -The price of goods sold or service rendered during an accounting period. -The gross increase in O.E resulted from business activities which aim to gain profit. Such As:  Sales revenue  Merchandising business.  Service revenue (Fees)  Service business.  Rent revenue.  Interest revenue.  Commission revenue. Effects of Revenue on the Accounting Equation: * Increase at Owner's Equity. * Increase at Assets, Or Decrease at Liabilities. Q: When revenue is recorded (recognized) in the accounting records? Answer: Revenue is recorded when it is earned (When goods are sold or services are rendered) Regardless the timing of cash collection. This is called Revenue recognition principle.

* Expenses:- Expenses are the cost of assets consumed or services used in the process of earning revenue during an accounting period. Common expenses are: salaries expense, rent expense, utilities expense, tax expense, Depreciation expense, Interest expense etc. Effects of Expense on the Accounting Equation: * Decrease at Owner's Equity. * Decrease at Assets, Or Increase at Liabilities.  Imp. Note: * The difference between total revenues and total expenses of an accounting period is called Net income (Profit) or Loss. * Drawings:- are the withdrawals of cash or other assets for the owner's personal use. Effects of Drawings on the Accounting Equation: * Decrease at Owner's Equity. * Decrease at Assets.

Some important equations: OE End = OE Beg. + Additional investment + Revenues – Expenses – Drawing OE End = OE Beg. + Additional investment + Net income – Drawings - Net loss  OE = Additional investment + Net income – Drawings  Net income (Loss) = Revenues - expenses Ex. 1: Owner's equity at the beginning of the year $130,000 Owner's drawing during the year $32,000 Owner's Equity at the year-end $145,000 What is the net income (loss) for the year? Solution $145,000 = $130,000 + 0 + X– $32,000 X=$145,000 – $130,000 + $32,000 = + 47,000 (Net Income)

Exercise 2: Liabilities at 1/1/99 $100,000 Assets at 12/31/99 $500,000 Revenues of 1999 $200,000 drawings during 1999 $20,000 During 1999 assets increased by $50,000 & liabilities decreased by $30,000 Required: a. Find owner’s equity at 1/1/99? b. Find expenses of 1999? Solution A end = a beg. ±  A $500,000 = A beg. + $50,000 A beg. = $500,000 – $50,000 = $450,000 (a) OE beg. = A beg. – L beg. = $450,000 - $100,000 = $350,000  A =  L +  OE $50,000 = - $30,000 +  OE  OE = $50,000 + $30,000 = $80,000 (b)  OE = additional investment + revenue – expense – drawings $80,000 = 0 + $200,000 – expense – $20,000 Expenses (1999) = $200,000 – $20,000 – $80,000 = $100,000

For example: 4. Increase in a liability and decrease in OE by the same amount.

First: Transaction analysis:- Exercise (1): Indicate the effect of the following transactions on assets, liabilities and OE using the code letters (I) for increase , (D) for decrease and (NE) for no effect. 1. purchased a computer from ABC Company on account. 2.
