1. 2–1 McQuaig Bille 1 College Accounting 10 th Edition McQuaig Bille Nobles © 2011 Cengage Learning PowerPoint presented by Douglas Cloud Professor Emeritus of Accounting, Pepperdine University Chapter 2 T Accounts, Debits, and Credits, Trial Balance, and Financial Statements

2. 2–2 The T-Account Form (continued)

3. 2–3 How to Determine Balances of T Accounts Step 1.Add each side separately and record the totals (called footing). Step 2.Subtract the large footing number form the small footing number. Step 3.Record the balance on the large footing side.

4. 2–4 The T Account Form The T account has a title (such as Cash). Title Assets (Cash, for example) increase on the left side. Assets decrease on the right side.

5. 2–5 Owner’s Equity Assets = Liabilities + Owner’s Equity Capital ‒ Drawing + Revenue ‒ Expenses Or, expanded out to include them as separate headings— Assets = Liabilities + Capital ‒ Drawing + Revenue ‒ Expenses

6. 2–6 Restated Fundamental Accounting Equation Assets increase on the __________ side.left Liabilities increase on the __________ side.right Owner’s equity increases on the __________ side. right Revenue increases on the __________ side. right Expenses increase on the __________ side. left

7. 2–7  What does debit mean? – Forget what you know about debit cards!  What does credit mean? –Forget what you know about credit cards!  Credit means “right.” Debit and Credit  Debit means “left.”  Debit is abbreviated “DR.”  Credit is abbreviated “CR.”

8. 2–8 The right side of the account is called the credit side and is abbreviated “CR.” Credit The T Account with Debits and Credits The left side of the account is called the debit side and is abbreviated “DR.” Title Debit

9. 2–9 Fundamental Accounting Equation Using Debits and Credits Capital – + Debit Credit Amounts invested Drawing + – Debit Credit Amounts withdrawn

10. 2–10 The Capital Account Concept Capital – + Debit Credit Drawing + – Debit Credit The critical rule to remember is that the amount placed on the debit side of one or more accounts MUST equal the amount placed on the credit side of another account or accounts. The + or – changes with the type of account.

11. 2–11 Steps in Analyzing a Transaction Step 1.Decide which accounts are involved. Step 2.Classify the accounts involved (asset, liability, capital, revenue, expense). Step 3.Decide if the accounts involved are increased or decreased. Step 4.Write the transaction as a debit to one account (or accounts) and a credit to another account (or accounts). Step 5.Check to see that the equation balances after the transaction has been recorded.

12. 2–12 Analyzing Transaction (a) Transaction (a): Connor deposited $90,000 in a bank account in the name of the business. Step 1. The two accounts involved are Cash and J. Conner, Capital. Step 2. Cash is an asset and J. Conner, Capital, is an owner’s equity account. Step 4. Cash, an asset, is increased, so Cash is debited. J. Conner, Capital, an owner’s equity account, is increased by a credit. Step 3. Cash deposited in the bank increases Cash. Cash invested in the business increases J. Conner, Capital. Step 5. The equation balances: The $ 90,000 debit to Cash equals the $90,000 credit to J. Conner, Capital.

32. 2–32 Summary of Transactions (continued)

33. 2–33 Summary of Transactions

34. 2–34

35. 2–35  List the account balances in two columns. –Left column = Debits –Right column = Credits  List the accounts in the same order as the chart of accounts. –First the balance sheet accounts –Then the income statement accounts  The trial balance... –Is not a financial statement –Does not contain dollar signs –Uses a single underline under the list of figures to be added –Uses a double underline under column totals Prepare a Trial Balance

36. 2–36 The Income Statement  The income statement shows total revenue minus total expenses, which yields the net income or net loss.  The income statement reports how the business has performed over a period of time, usually a month or a year.  When total revenue exceeds total expenses over the period, the result is a net income or profit.

37. 2–37 The Statement of Owner’s Equity  The statement of owner’s equity shows how—and why—the owner’s equity or Capital account has changed over a stated period of time.  This statement is prepared after the accountant has determined the net income or net loss on the income statement.  Use the net income figure on the income statement to complete the statement of owner’s equity.

38. 2–38 The Balance Sheet  The balance sheet shows the financial condition of a business’s assets offset by claims against them as of a particular date.  The balance sheet summarizes the balances of the asset, liability, and owner’s equity accounts on a given date (usually the end of a month or year).  It is a “snapshot” of the financial condition of the business at that particular time.

39. 2–39 Errors Exposed by the Trial Balance If the debit and credit columns in the trial balance are not equal, then it is evident that there is an error. Possible mistakes include—  Making errors in arithmetic.  Recording only half an entry.  Recording both halves of the entry on the same side.  Recording one or more amounts incorrectly.

40. 2–40 Procedure for Locating Errors The best method of locating errors is to do everything in reverse, as follows:  Look at the pattern of the balances to see if a normal balance was placed in the wrong column of the trial balance.  Re-add the trial balance columns.  Check the transferring of the figures from the accounts to the trial balance.  Verify the footings and balances of the accounts.

41. 2–41 Transpositions and Slides  A transposition means that the digits have been transposed, or switched around when the numbers were copied from one place to another (e.g. writing 619 for 916, with the difference of 297 evenly divisible by 9).  A slide is an error in placing the decimal point; in other words, a slide in the decimal point (e.g., writing 2,700 for 27,000,with the difference of 24,300 evenly divisible by 9).  An error may be a combination of a transposition and a slide (e.g., writing $54 for $450, with the difference of $396 evenly divisible by 9).
