Accounting 3 Chapter 24 Section 1 Accounting for Accrued Revenue and Expenses

Accrued Revenue  Accrued Revenue – Revenue earned in one fiscal period but not received until a later fiscal period.  At the end of a fiscal period, accrued revenue is recorded by an adjusting entry which increases a revenue account and a receivable account.

Analyzing an Adjustment for Accrued Interest Income.  Accrued Interest Income – Interest earned at the end of a fiscal period, but not yet received.  To calculate interest income: Principal x Interest Rate x Time as fraction of a year = Accrued Interest Income.

Analyzing an Adjustment for Accrued Interest Income.  Example: $1, loan at 12% for 90 days dated November 1. November 1 – December 31 = 60 days $1, (P) x 12% (IR) x 60/360 = $20.00  So Interest Receivable (which shows the interest we have earned but will receive later) is debited for $ Interest Income (which shows how much we have earned to date) will be credited for $20.00.

Posting an Adjusting Entry for Accrued Interest Income  Posting these two account changes is no different than any posting we have ever done, except that these are new accounts.

Reversing Entries  Reversing Entry – An entry made at the beginning of one fiscal period to reverse an adjusting entry made in the previous fiscal period.  Because every temporary account must be closed at the end of a fiscal period for accurate records, the adjusting entries must be made.  However, to also accurately show the amount of money that is due to us automatically in the beginning of the next fiscal period, a reversing entry is made.  If we just left everything closed, someone coming in to look at the current fiscal period books after a note has matured and we received our interest income, would want to know where the extra money came from. The reversing entry is what takes care of that question.

Example:  On December 31, interest income is closed as part of the regular closing entries. (Total of $88.00)  Interest Income is debited by $88 to reduce the balance to zero.  When the 90 day maturity date of the previous note is reached (Jan 30 of the next year), the company will receive $30 in interest.

Example Cont’d:  Because $20 of this $30 was earned in the previous year, something must be done to show that this is still coming.  $20 is then debited to Interest Income (technically showing a negative balance) and credited to Interest Receivable (giving it a zero balance).  Once the maturity date is reached and the $30 is received, $30 is credited to interest income (which gives this account a positive $10 balance) and debited to cash.  Next two slides show visible effects.

Collecting a Note Receivable issued in a Previous Fiscal Period  The journalizing is done just like receiving any other note receivable.  The note receivable account and the interest income account are credited for the amount due.  The cash account is debited for the total of these two accounts.  The posting is done as shown on the previous slide for the Interest Income account.
