2. 4-2 Adjusting entries are needed whenever revenue or expenses affect more than one accounting period. Every adjusting entry involves a change in either a revenue or expense and an asset or liability. ADJUSTING ENTRIES

3. 4-3 Adjusting Entries are journal entries recorded at the end of an accounting period to adjust income and expense accounts so that they comply with the Accrual Concept of accounting.

4. 4-4 Business transactions are recorded when they occur. NOT when the related payments are received or made.

5. 4-5 Accrual Concept, requires that; Revenues of the business are recognised in the accounts when earned. Expenses are recognised when incurred. NOT when the money is received or paid.

6. 4-6 An airline company sells its tickets weeks before the flight is due. BUT It does not record the payments as revenue because the event on which the revenue is based has not occurred yet. Once the service has being provided, we can make the adjusting entry. (i.e. We can record it as received)

7. 4-7 A business records its utility bills as soon as it receives them. Not when the bills are paid, because the service has already been used.

8. 4-8 Adjusting Entries are necessary when accrual basis accounting is used. Adjusting entries allow businesses to adhere to the Matching Principle.

9. 4-9 This principle, requires a company to match expenses with the related revenues in order to report the company`s profitability during the accounting period.

10. 4-10 Revenues earned this month Are offset against... Expenses incurred in earning the revenue

11. 4-11 A hospital pays £ 20,000 per month to 5 of its doctors. Monthly sales are £ 500,000. £ 100,000 ( £ 20,000 x 5) worth of monthly salaries should be matched with £ 500,000 of revenue generated. Net profit for this month would be: 500,000 -100,000 ------------------- £ 400,000

12. 4-12 The objective is to match the income receivable and the expenditure payable to the appropriate accounting period.

13. 4-13 TYPES of ADJUSTING ENTRIES Prepayments 1- Prepaid Expenses 2-Unearned Revenues Accruals 3-Accrued Revenues 4-Accrued Expenses

14. 4-14 Prepaid expenses are the type of expenses which are paid in cash and recorded as assets prior to being used. Prepaid expenses are also known as deferred expenses

15. 4-15 Adjusting Entries for “Prepaid Expenses” Let`s say you prepaid £15,000 for your property insurance on 1st September of the current year. Make the appropriate adjustment as of the end of the accounting period. (i.e. 31/12/2012)

16. 4-16 Original Entry: On September 1 the following entry would be recorded when the insurance was prepaid: Cash15,000 Prepaid Insurance15,000Dec. 31 DebitCredit Prepaid Insurance 15,000 15,000 DebitCredit Cash 15,000 Adjusting Entries for “Prepaid Expenses” DR CR

17. 4-17 Adjusting Entries for “Prepaid Expenses” Prepaid Insurance is an asset account – it is an amount owned by the company that has economic value. We will recognise Prepaid Insurance under current assets.

18. 4-18 Each month, a portion of the prepaid insurance expires. At the end of the accounting period, the Prepaid Insurance and Insurance Expense accounts must be updated for the insurance that has expired (been used).

19. 4-19 What accounts are involved? When something is “ used up ” it indicates an expense account. In this case, we need to debit Insurance Expense for the expired insurance. Furthermore, the asset, Prepaid Insurance, has decreased so we will credit this asset.

20. 4-20 £15,000 for 12 months = £1,250/month Policy purchased on Sept 1. Months that have expired between purchase and fiscal year-end 4 months (Sept, Oct, Nov, Dec) Amount of adjustment =(£1,250/month X 4 months) £ 5,000 (£15,000/12 )

21. 4-21 Let’s record the adjusting entry; Prepaid Insurance £5,000 Insurance Expense£5,000 Dec. 31 DebitCredit Prepaid Insurance 15,000 5,000 DebitCredit Insurance Expense £10,000 DR CR 5,000 £5,000

22. 4-22 The Concept of Depreciation (Example 2) Depreciation is the systematic allocation of the cost of a depreciable asset to expense. Cash (credit) Fixed Asset (debit) On date when initial payment is made... The asset’s usefulness is partially consumed during the period. At end of period... Depreciation Expense (debit) Accumulated Depreciation (credit)

23. 4-23 On May 2, 2011, JJ’s Lawn Care Service purchased a lawn mower with a useful life of 50 months for $2,500 cash. Using the straight-line method, calculate the monthly depreciation expense. $2,500 50 = $50 Depreciation expense (per period) = Cost of the asset Estimated useful life Depreciation Is Only an Estimate

24. 4-24 JJ’s Lawn Care Service would make the following adjusting entry. Contra-asset Depreciation Is Only an Estimate

25. 4-25 JJ’s $15,000 truck is depreciated over 60 months. Calculate monthly depreciation and make the journal entry. $15,000  60 months = $250 per month Depreciation Is Only an Estimate

26. 4-26 Accumulated depreciation would appear on the balance sheet as follows: Depreciation Is Only an Estimate Cost - Accumulated Depreciation = Book Value

27. 4-27 All balances are taken from the ledger accounts on May 31 after preparing the two depreciation adjusting entries. Adjusted Trial Balance

28. 4-28 TYPES of ADJUSTING ENTRIES Prepayments 1- Prepaid Expenses 2-Unearned Revenues Accruals 3-Accrued Revenues 4-Accrued Expenses

29. 4-29 Unearned Revenues are payments for future services to be performed or goods to be delivered. At the end of each accounting period, adjusting entries must be made to recognize the portion of unearned revenues that have been earned during the period.

30. 4-30 Adjusting Entries for “Unearned Revenues” Suppose that you are the owner of an Insurance company and on November 30 th a customer pays £1,800 for an insurance policy to protect her delivery vehicles for six months. Make the appropriate adjustment as of the end of the accounting period. (i.e. 31/12/2012)

31. 4-31 Adjusting Entries for “Unearned Revenues” Initially, the insurance company records this transaction by; increasing an asset account (cash) with a debit increasing a liability account (unearned revenue) with a credit.

32. 4-32 Adjusting Entry : Unearned Insurance £ 1,800 Cash£1,800Nov. 30 DebitCredit Cash 1,800 1,800 DebitCredit Unearned Insurance £1,800 £ 1,800 Adjusting Entries for “Unearned Revenues” DR CR £1,800 £ 1,800

33. 4-33 Adjusting Entries for “Unearned Revenues” After one month on 31 December 2012, the insurance company makes an adjusting entry; To decrease (debit) unearned revenue To increase (credit) revenue by an amount equal to one sixth of the initial payment.

34. 4-34 Adjusting Entry: Vehicle Insurance Revenue£ 300 Unearned Insurance 300 Dec. 31 DebitCredit Vehicle Insurance Revenue 1,800 DebitCredit Unearned Insurance $300 Adjusting Entries for “Unearned Revenues” DR CR £ 300 $1,500 300 (£1,8 00 / 6 months ) = 300 per month

35. 4-35 Adjusting Entries for “Unearned Revenues” If we do not include adjusting entries to show the earning of previously unearned revenues ; We overstate total liabilities and understate total revenues and net income.

36. 4-36 TYPES of ADJUSTING ENTRIES Prepayments 1- Prepaid Expenses 2-Unearned Revenues Accruals 3-Accrued Revenues 4-Accrued Expenses

37. 4-37 An asset class for goods or services that have been sold or completed but that have not yet been billed and/or paid for. Accrued revenue is income that has been incurred but not received Accrued revenue is also called accrued assets.

38. 4-38 Adjusting Entries for “Accrued Revenues”  ABC Ltd. sold £1,000 of products to a customer who is not required to pay for 60 days.  The sale is recorded by ABC Ltd. on the income statement as revenue and on the balance sheet as a current asset  Even though no money will be received until later.

40. 4-40 Adjusting Entries for “accrued revenues” The concept of accrued revenue is needed in order to properly match revenues with expenses. The absence of accrued revenue would tend to show excessively low initial revenue levels. Thus, low profits for a business

41. 4-41 Adjusting Entries for “Accrued Revenues” For example;  Muffin Ltd. rented its office to Cookie Ltd. for £500 a month.  Muffin Ltd. has not received December rent of £500 from Cookie Ltd.  What figure of rent receivable should be shown as income for Muffin Ltd. for the year ended 31/12/2012

42. 4-42 Adjusting Entry: The adjusting entry at the end of December is to debit rent receivable and credit rental revenue by £500. Rental Revenue£500 Rent Receivable (Current Asset)£500 Dec. 31 DebitCredit Rent Receivable 500 500 DebitCredit Rental Revenue 500 Adjusting Entries for “Accrued Revenues” DR CR

On July 31, the rent for the month has not yet been paid and no record for rent expense was made.

49. 4-49 Adjusting Entries for “Accrued Expenses” What would be the necessary adjusting entry for rent expense? In this case, Green Ltd. has already incurred (consumed/used) the expense. Even if it has not yet been paid, it should be recorded as an expense.

50. 4-50 Adjusting Entry: The adjusting entry at the end of July is to debit rent expense and credit rent payable for £2,000. Rent Payable £ 2,000 Rent Expense£ 2,000 July. 31 DebitCredit Rent Expense 2,000 2,000 DebitCredit Rent Payable 2,000 Adjusting Entries for “Accrued Expenses” DR CR
