1. Chapter 1
Accounting I
When we think about accounting, it is the study of how money flows through a business. When you buy something from the store what happens to the money when you give it to the person behind the cash register? The hardest part of this class is getting you to think as a business owner, not as the customer. Over the next 16 weeks we will begin the process of getting you to understand what business owner’s have to do in order to keep track of their money, pay their employees, buy goods to sell, and then actually sell them.

2. Terms that you need to know
Accounting
Planning, recording, analyzing, and interpreting financial information
Accounting System
A process for providing financial information that will be useful to management
So lets give you the textbook definition of what accounting means. ( Read the Accounting definition) we will spend almost all of the class time taking about Planning, recording, and analyzing. Unless you take the second year class we do not spend much time interpreting the financial information.
We also have to have a system or process in place so that everyone does the same process, so that people can understand and interpret the information all the same way.
To explain this a little bit more if we take a look at this balance sheet, there are reasons why this information looks the way it does. There are rules and guideline we must follow so that all accounting sheets look similar.

3. More terms Service Business Sole proprietorship
Dog Groomer, carpet cleaners.
Sole proprietorship
A single owner business
We will start with the simplest of all businesses that is a Service business, the examples I give are Dog groomer and Carpet cleaner, but this could also be someone who cuts grass, or even as simple as someone who has a lemonade stand. We are doing something for this person thus we call it a service business. Another example of this is could be a plumber or beautician.
The simplest form of a business is a sole propriotorship, a single owner buiensss.

4. Accounting Records Assets Liabilities Equities Owner’s Equity
Organized summaries of a business’s financial activities
Assets
Anything of value that is owned
Cash Insurance
Supplies
Liabilities
An amount owed by a business
Any business that we buy something from
Equities
Financial rights to the assets of a business
Owner’s Equity
The amount remaining after the value of all liabilities subtracted from the value of all assets
(Owner’s Name), Capital Account
Accounting Records are just simply forms that are used to help record, or summarize how the business is doing. We will get more in-depth with how and what these forms are in later chapters.
So now we have to begin to use accounting terms that will better help us describe what we are doing through the year.
Asset – is anything of value to the business, when we think of someone being an asset, we consider them to be valuable for the team, the same is for a business.
It is defined as anything of value that is OWNED.
Cash
Supplies
Insurance
Tables
Computers
Trucks
Liabilities
Something that is OWED by the business
This is very similar to if you borrow money from someone, you owe them money, well the same occurs with businesses,
For example Macy’s department store goes to Ralph Lauren and buys some shirts from them, they may not pay them until the end of the month ( this is considered a liability)
Equity
This is somewhat of a confusing term and we will come back to revisit this term in a few minutes.
It is defined as the financial rights to the assets.
Owner’s Equity
( Read definition)
In basic terms it is how much the Owner is worth in the company.

5. Let me try to give you a simple example of what we mean by the three major components we just talked about.
Lets say you want to buy a new truck
The price of the truck is 15,000
You only have 8000 to put down on the truck
How much would you have to borrow or owe to the bank?

6. The accounting equation
Property = Credit Equity
Assets = Liability + Owner’s Equity
$15,000
$8000
$7000
Now if we apply it to the accounting terms we will use the same example. Except we apply it to what we call the Accounting equation.
Instead of Property = Credit + Equity we say Assets = Liabilities + owners Equity.
The property or the thing of value is worth 15,000
The owner can give 8000 so his value towards the truck is 8000
We will have to borrow or OWE the bank 7000

7. Mr. Prosser how am I going to remember the accounting equation????
The simplest way to remember this equation is what happens when you get sun burned and you have to spread the grean lotion over your body to cool it off.
What is that called? ALOE or Assets = Liabilities + owners equity.

8. How the accounting equation changes
Assets = Liability + Owner’s Equity
Just remember that the equation must always be in balance
So if assets = 4
Then Liabilites and O.E must also equal 4
Obviously the math is very simple but do you understand the terms and how they relate to what we are talking about?

9. Work together page 9 Now you do On your own………….
Lets look at one more example
I want you to try to think of these equations in this manner
If I borrow 3000 from the bank, and I have 8000 to put forward to the new truck, what is the most expensive truck I can own?
Answer 11000
If I want to buy a truck, and I have 6000 to give towards the truck, how much do I have to borrow?
Answer 4000

Now you do On your own………….

10. Section 2 How business activities change the accounting equation
Section 2 Chapter 1
This section begins our discussion of how the accounting equation changes when certain activities happen.
For example what happens if we buy something or receive money from somebody.

11. More terms Transaction Account Account Title
A business activity that changes asset’s, liabilities , or owner’s equity
Account
Each transaction effects at least 2 accounts
Account Title
Each account has its own title
When something happens within the business that affects an asset, liability or Owner’s Equity it is called a TRANSACTION.
Each transaction or change in the equation has an account. In our studies it will affect at least two accounts.
Each transaction will have account titles to them ( we will discuss this furthur later in this chaptrer)

12. Remember the accounts ASSETS = Liabilities + Owners Equity Accts Pay –
Name of
Company
Name of Owner,
Capital
Cash
Supplies
Prepaid Insurance
So lets talk a little bit more about account titles…..
So when we talk about Assets we will have a couple of accounts that we will call
Cash
Supplies
Prepaid Insurance
Liabilities will be named with the term ( Accounts payable- name of the company)
The Owner’s Equity account will be named ( the name of the owner, Capital)

13. Transaction #1 Assets = Liability + Owner’s Equity
August 1. Received cash from owner as an investment, $10,000.
Assets = Liability + Owner’s Equity
Cash
Barbara Trevino, Cap
$10,000
$10,000
So lets try our first transaction
Using the list of accounts from the previous slide
What 2 accounts are being affected here??
Cash and the Capital Account ( we are just going to call the Owner Barbara Trevino)
So when we ( as the business) receive cash – do we have more or less cash?
When the owner invests money into the business is she worth more to the business or less ( remember our example of the truck)
Finally does the equation balance??
Do Assets = Liabilities + Owner’s Equity?

14. Transaction #2 Assets = Liability + Owner’s Equity
