Chapter 05 Adjustments and Worksheet Atef Abuelaish

7 Adjustments and the Worksheet
Section 1: The Worksheet Section Objectives Chapter 4 introduced and explained how to use the general journal and the general ledger. Chapter 5 shows how to complete and use the worksheet. It also shows how to prepare and record adjustments for unrecorded business transactions. We will also continue using the general journal and general ledger to journalize and post the new adjusting entries introduced in the chapter. Section one of the chapter introduces us to a “worksheet.” 5-1 Complete a trial balance on a worksheet. 5-2 Prepare adjustments for unrecorded business transactions. Atef Abuelaish

8 The Accounting Cycle Step 2 Journalize the data about transactions
Step 2 Journalize transactions Step 3 Post transactions to the ledger Step 1 Analyze and classify transactions Step 1 Analyze transactions Step 4 Prepare a worksheet Step 5 Prepare financial statements Here are the steps in the accounting cycle. The accounting cycle is a series of steps performed during each accounting period to classify, record, and summarize data for a business and to produce needed financial information. Take a moment to review the steps. Let’s take a look at these steps in more detail. Step 9 Evaluate and communicate financial information Step Journnalize adjusting entries Step 7 Journalize closing entries Step 8 Prepare a postclosing trial balance Atef Abuelaish

Complete a trial balance on a worksheet. The worksheet has an Account Name column The worksheet also has five sections Each section has two columns ACCOUNT NAME Wells’ Consulting Services Worksheet Month Ended December 31, 2016 TRIAL BALANCE ADJUSTMENTS ADJ. TRIAL BAL. INCOME STMT. BALANCE SHEET DEBIT CREDIT DEBIT CREDIT DEBIT CREDIT DEBIT CREDIT DEBIT CREDIT Let’s begin by entering the trial balance on the worksheet. What is a worksheet? It is a tool that accountants use at the end of an accounting period. The worksheet has three parts to the heading just like a financial statement. The heading answers Who, What and When. The first column of a worksheet is the Account Name column. The worksheet has five sections. Each section has a debit and a credit column. So, this can also be called a 10-column worksheet. Atef Abuelaish

10 Complete the Trial Balance section in four steps:
1. Enter the general ledger account names. 2. Transfer the general ledger account balances to the Debit and Credit columns of the Trial Balance section. 3. Total the Debit and Credit columns to prove that the trial balance is in balance. To enter a trial balance on the worksheet, you would follow these steps: 4. Place a double rule under each Trial Balance column to show that the work in that column is complete. Atef Abuelaish

We will need to add four new accounts at this time so that we can make adjustments at the end of the month. If you are not sure whether you need any additional accounts or what those account names will be, remember you can add them at the bottom of the existing list of accounts in that column. **If additional new expense accounts are needed in the adjustment process, add them to the bottom of the ACCOUNT NAME column.

After entering all of the balances from the general ledger, we need to “foot” the columns in the Trial Balance section. To foot a column means to add the numbers in that column. They MUST BALANCE BEFORE MOVING TO THE NEXT SET OF COLUMNS. When you insure that the debits equal the credits, you are ready to complete step 4 which is to place a double rule underline under the trial balance columns to show that the work in the columns is complete.

Carolyn Wells, Draw. Now it is time to move to the next set of columns. We need to prepare adjustments for unrecorded business transactions. Let’s make some adjustments. The process of updating accounts at the end of an accounting period for unrecorded items that belong to the period is referred to as making adjustments or adjusting entries. The adjustments are made in the ADJUSTMENTS column. Adjusting entries are first entered in the Adjustments section of the worksheet Fees Income Salaries Expense Utilities Expense Supplies Expense Rent Expense Depr. Exp.—Equip.

15 The Supplies Adjustment
Wells’ Consulting Services began the month with $1,500 in supplies. At the end of the month, $1,000 in supplies remained. QUESTION: What dollar amount of supplies was used during the month? $1,500 1,000 ANSWER: Let’s first discuss the supplies adjustment. The business purchased $1,500 of supplies during the month but by the end of the month, only $1,000 of supplies are left. This implies that we must have used $500 of supplies. Wells’ Consulting Services must make an adjustment to show that the company used $500 in supplies during the month. To do this we debit supplies expense and credit the asset supplies for the $500 used up. $500 Atef Abuelaish

17 The Prepaid Adjustment
On November 20, 2016, Wells’ Consulting Services paid $8,000 for the December and January rent. As of December 31, 2016, one month’s rent had already been used up. QUESTION: What dollar amount of rent was used during the month of December? $8,000 4,000 ANSWER: Now let’s take a look at the adjustment for expired rent. Recall that the company paid for two months rent in advance. By the end of the month, one month had expired so we need to reduce the Prepaid Rent account by the amount for one month’s rent. $4,000 Atef Abuelaish

Accounts Payable Carolyn Wells, Cap. Carolyn Wells, Draw. When we originally paid the two months of rent we debited prepaid rent and credited cash. This means that one month of rent was equal to $4,000. Wells’ Consulting Services must make an adjustment to show that $4,000 of the prepaid rent has expired. We will debit the Rent Expense account by $4,000 and credit the Prepaid Rent account by $4,000. Here is how we enter the adjustment in the worksheet. Notice the letter “b” has been placed next to both the debit and the credit. Fees Income Salaries Expense Utilities Expense Supplies Expense (a) 500 Rent Expense (b) 4,000 Depr. Exp.—Equip.

19 Depreciation The cost is recorded as an asset and charged to expense over the time the asset is used for the business. Asset Pie Dec. 2013 Expense Feb. 2014 Expense Now let’s move on to the concept of depreciation. When we buy an asset that will be used for many years, we will expense a portion of the cost of the asset during each of the periods that the asset benefits. This is called depreciation. Depreciation is the process of allocating the cost of long term assets over their useful lives. We do not record the cost as an expense at the time that the asset was purchased. The cost is recorded as an asset (such as equipment or building) and charged to expense over the time the asset is used in the business. This periodic expensing of the original cost is called cost allocation or DEPRECIATION. Jan. 2014 Expense This expense is called depreciation Atef Abuelaish

20 Estimated months of useful life
There are several methods to calculate depreciation. Wells’ Consulting Services uses the straight-line method. QUESTION: What is straight-line depreciation? Straight-line depreciation (S/L) allocates an asset’s cost in equal amounts to each accounting period of its useful life. ANSWER: Cost - salvage value Estimated months of useful life S/L depreciation = We will be using the straight-line depreciation method to figure the periodic adjustment for depreciation. The salvage value of an asset represents what we estimate it will be worth at the end of its useful life. Atef Abuelaish

21 Calculating Depreciation
Wells’ Consulting Services purchased equipment in November, 2016. · Cost = $11,000 · Useful life = 5 yrs or 60 months (5 yrs x 12 months) · Salvage value = $0 QUESTION: What dollar amount of depreciation expense should be recorded for the month? $11,000 - $0 60 months Cost - salvage value Estimated months of useful life When figuring depreciation, we need to understand what salvage value means. Salvage value is an estimate of the amount that may be received by selling or disposing of an asset at the end of its useful life. The equipment does not have any salvage value and we expect to use it for five years in the business. In applying the straight-line formula, we calculate a monthly depreciation amount of $183. ANSWER: $183 Atef Abuelaish

22 Adjustment for Depreciation Accumulated Depreciation—
Instead of decreasing the asset account directly, the adjustment for depreciation is recorded in a contra account named Accumulated Depreciation—Equipment. Equipment Accumulated Depreciation— Equipment + + In making the $183 depreciation adjustment, we do not credit the asset account directly, instead we credit a different account. We will credit a contra-asset account called Accumulated Depreciation –Equipment. This account will accumulate the amount of the asset’s cost that has been expensed (depreciated) over the life of the asset. Asset account has a normal debit balance Contra asset account has a normal credit balance Atef Abuelaish

24 Accumulated Depreciation—
Book Value Equipment Accumulated Depreciation— Equipment 11,000 183 Original cost of equipment Record of all depreciation taken on equipment Book value shows what the asset’s net cost is on the books of the business. By “net cost,” we mean its original cost less the depreciation taken to date. It is the un-expensed portion of the original cost. The book value of our equipment right after the first depreciation adjustment is $11,000 – $183 = $10,817. Book value = Original cost – Accumulated depreciation = ,000 – 183 = ,817 Atef Abuelaish

25 Adjustments and the Worksheet
Chapter 5 Adjustments and the Worksheet Section 2: Financial Statements Section Objectives 5-3 Complete the worksheet. 5-4 Prepare an income statement, statement of owner's equity, and balance sheet from the completed worksheet. 5-5 Journalize and post the adjusting entries. The third objective of the chapter is to be able to complete the worksheet. Atef Abuelaish

26 Complete the worksheet
You have already seen how to prepare the first two sections of a worksheet: Trial Balance Adjustments You will now learn how to complete a worksheet. We are now ready to prepare the next set of columns on the worksheet. Preparing a worksheet is the fourth step of the accounting cycle. Atef Abuelaish

Revenues and Expenses belong on the income statement. The only exception to this rule of “balance sheet” and “income statement” is the drawing account. This account, when included in the adjusted trial balance is moved over to the “Balance Sheet” section even though it doesn‘t’ show up on that statement; rather it shows up on the statement of Owner’s Equity.

41 Journalize and post the adjusting entries
The worksheet is NOT A financial statement A permanent part of the accounting records It is only a tool. Remember, a worksheet is just a tool that accountants use. It is not a formal financial statement. The adjustments shown on the worksheet must become part of the permanent accounting records. Each adjustment is journalized and posted to the general ledger accounts. The fifth objective of this chapter is to journalize and post the adjusting entries. Atef Abuelaish

47 Closing Entries and the Postclosing Trial Balance
Chapter 6 Closing Entries and the Postclosing Trial Balance Section 1: Closing Entries Section Objectives Chapter 5 introduced and showed how to use the worksheet. It also covered the preparation of adjusting entries and financial statements. Chapter 6 completes the accounting cycle by showing how the books are closed before the next financial period begins. In this first section, we learn how to make closing entries. 6-1 Journalize and post closing entries. Atef Abuelaish

48 The Accounting Cycle Step 2 Journalize the data about transactions Step 3 Post the data about transactions Step 1 Analyze transactions Step 4 Prepare a worksheet Step 5 Prepare financial statements Step 9 Interpret the financial information Step Journalize and post adjusting entries Journalizing and posting closing entries is the seventh step in the accounting cycle. Closing entries are journal entries which are completed at the end of an accounting cycle so that the business can start fresh in the next accounting period. Closing entries are journal entries that transfer the results of operations (net income or net loss) to owner’s equity and reduce the revenue, expense, and drawing account balances to zero. Step 7 Journalize and post closing entries Step 7 Journalize and post closing entries Step 8 Prepare a postclosing trial balance The seventh step in the accounting cycle is to journalize and post closing entries Atef Abuelaish

49 What is the Income Summary account?
QUESTION: What is the Income Summary account? The Income Summary account is a special owner’s equity account that is used only in the closing process to summarize the results of operations. ANSWER: The Income Summary account is only used during the closing process. Atef Abuelaish

50 Income Summary Account
Classified as a temporary owner’s equity account. Does not have a normal balance. Has a zero balance after the closing process and remains with a zero balance until the closing procedure for the next period. The Income Summary account is classified as a temporary owner’s equity account which will have a zero balance at the end of the accounting period. Atef Abuelaish

51 Journalize and post closing entries.
There are four steps in the closing process: 1. Transfer the revenue account balances to the Income Summary account. 2. Transfer the expense account balances to the Income Summary account. 3. Transfer the Income Summary account balance to the owner’s capital account. Let’s further discuss the closing process. Objective one is to journalize and post closing entries. There are four steps in the closing process: close the revenue accounts, close the expense accounts, close the income summary account, and close the drawing account. 4. Transfer the drawing account balance to the owner’s capital account. Atef Abuelaish

By reviewing the worksheet from the previous chapter, we will note that we only have one revenue account, Fees Income. So, we need to close the one revenue account to zero. Currently Fees Income has a $47,000 credit balance on the worksheet. Fees Income is closed to the Income Summary account. 650 650 650 Supplies Expense (a) 500 500 500 Rent Expense (b) 4,000 4,000 4,000 Depr.

53 Step 1: Close Revenue Fees Income Income Summary Balance 47,000
Closing 47,000 Closing 47,000 To record a decrease in a revenue account, debit it and then make a corresponding entry into the Income Summary account. The revenue account, Fees Income, is decreased by $47,000 to zero. The $47,000 is transferred to the temporary owner’s equity account, Income Summary. Fees Income would be debited for $47,000 and Income Summary would be credited for $47,000. Here is our first closing entry represented in T accounts. Please note that after this closing entry, Fees Income has a zero balance. That was the goal of our closing entry to get the account ready for next year with a starting balance of zero.

55 Step 2: Close Expenses The Income Statement section of the worksheet for Wells’ Consulting Services lists five expense accounts. Since expense accounts have debit balances, enter a credit in each account to reduce its balance to zero. This closing entry transfers total expenses to the Income Summary account. Step 2 is to close all of the expense accounts. Since expense accounts have a debit balance, we need to credit them to close their balances to zero. Atef Abuelaish

56 Step 2: Close Expenses The five expense account balances are reduced to zero. The total, $13,333 of expenses are transferred to the temporary owner’s equity account, Income Summary. When closing the expense accounts, we will transfer their balances to the Income Summary account. Atef Abuelaish

This is the difference between the revenues and the expenses, or net income. This amount will be transferred to the capital account of the owner. Net Income Atef Abuelaish

60 Step 3: Close Net Income to Capital
The journal entry to transfer net income to owner’s equity is a debit to Income Summary, and a credit to Carolyn Wells, Capital. The Income Summary account is reduced to zero. The net income amount, $33,667, is transferred to the owner’s capital account. Carolyn Wells, Capital is increased by $33,667. Our third closing entry transfers net income to Carolyn Wells, Capital.

Withdrawals appear in the statement of owner’s equity as a deduction from capital. The drawing account is closed directly to the capital account. The drawing account balance is reduced to zero. The balance of the drawing account, $5,000, is transferred to the owner’s capital account. Our final step is to close the owner’s drawing account. Step 4—The owner’s drawing account has a debit balance and is closed directly to the owner’s capital account. In this step, we are reducing the drawing account balance of $5,000 to zero.

Review the steps in the accounting cycle. In the second objective of this chapter, we will learn how to prepare a postclosing trial balance for a business. Atef Abuelaish

72 The Accounting Cycle Step 2 Journalize the data about transactions
Step 3 Post the data about transactions Step 1 Analyze transactions Step 4 Prepare a worksheet Step 5 Prepare financial statements We need to prepare another trial balance called the post-closing trial balance.

73 Prepare a postclosing Trial Balance.
QUESTION: What is the postclosing trial balance? A postclosing trial balance is a report that is prepared to prove the equality of total debits and credits after the closing process is completed. It verifies that revenue, expense, and drawing accounts have zero balances. ANSWER: The postclosing trial balance is prepared after the closing process. It contains only the permanent accounts which were not closed at the end of the period. It proves that debits still equal credits and that all temporary accounts were closed to zero. When we interpret financial information, we are evaluating the financial information presented, and communicating this information to various stakeholders, both inside and outside of the business.

This would include all asset and liability accounts, as well as capital. Notice that debits equal credits on the post closing trial balance. Atef Abuelaish

75 Finding and Correcting Errors
If the postclosing trial balance does not balance, the accounting records contain errors. Use the audit trail to trace data through the accounting records. We can use the audit trail to help us locate errors. Oftentimes this requires that we backtrack trough the process to find where we may have added or subtracted incorrectly, posted incorrectly, or journalized incorrectly. Atef Abuelaish

76 Interpret financial statements. Objective 6-3
What do users do with the finished financial statements? In objective three we learned how users value the information provided in financial statements. To interpret means to understand and explain the meaning and importance of something. Financial statements help users make all kinds of decisions. Financial statements provide important answers to questions such as: What is the cash balance? How much do customers owe the business? How much does the business owe suppliers? What is the profit or loss? Atef Abuelaish
