Objective 1
History of Accounting
Accounting has a long history. Some scholars claim that writing arose in order to record
information. Account records date back to the ancient civilizations of China, Babylonia, Greece
and Egypt. The rulers of these civilizations used accounting to keep track of the cost of labor and
materials used in building structures like the great pyramids. (Source: Horngren, Harrison and
Robinson, 1995)
Accounting developed as a result of the information needs of merchants in the city-states of Italy
during the 1400s. In that commercial climate a monk, Luca Pacioli, a mathematician and friend of
Leonardo da Vinci, published the first known description of double-entry bookkeeping entitled
Summa de Arithmetica, Geometria, Proportioni et Proportionalite, which means Everything about
Arithmetic, Geometry, and Proportion published in Venice in November 1494. This book
contained primarily principles of mathematics and incidentally a set of accounting procedures.
The pace of accounting development increased during the Industrial Revolution as the economies
of developed countries began to mass-produce goods. Until that time, merchandise was priced
based on managers hunches about cost but increased competition required merchants to adopt
more sophisticated accounting system.
In the nineteenth century, the growth of corporations especially those in the railroad and steel
industries, spurred the developed of accounting. Corporate owners were no longer necessarily the
managers of their business. Managers had to create accounting systems to report to the owners
how well their businesses were doing.
Government played a role in leading more development in the field of accounting when it started
using the income tax. Accounting supplied the concept of income. Also, government at all levels
has assumed expanded roles in health, education, labor and economic planning. To ensure that the
information that it uses to make decisions is reliable, the government has required strict
accountability in the business community.
At the beginning of the third millennium, there would still be significant developments in the
field of accounting. The great challenge of globalization and the effects of new technologies (e.g.
super computers, robotics, inter and intra-net, etc.) pose a shift in the structure and pattern in this
field. More and better accounting information are now being required and therefore, accounting,
being the means used in communicating business and financial information, must also evolve into
a more efficient level.

about economic entities that is intended to be useful in making economic
decisions.
2. Accounting is the process of identifying, measuring and communicating economic
information to permit informed judgments and decisions by users of the information.

iii. Neither business nor personal transaction
1. Business events that are not recorded in the financial books.
Examples are hiring of employees, death of the owner, entering
into a contract etc.
b. Measuring this accounting process is the assigning of Peso amounts to the
accountable economic transactions and events (Valix, 2005)

Discounting of promissory notes
When a promissory note is negotiable, the payee may obtain cash before maturity date by
discounting the note at a bank or other financing company. To discount the note, the payee must
endorse it. Thus, legally the payee becomes an endorser and the bank becomes an endorsee
(Valix, 2005).
Two types of discounting
1. Discounting of customers note
2. Discounting of own note
Objective 2
Discounting of Customers note
Using the above example, assume that the maker discounted the note on April 2 at a discount rate
of 15%.
The necessary equations for note discounting are as follows:
Discount period refers to the period between the discount date and the maturity date.
For this example, the discount period is 5 days (April 7 2).

Types of endorsement
1. Endorsement with recourse
a. This type requires the endorser to pay the endorsee if the maker dishonors the
note. This is the contingent or secondary liability of the endorser.
2. Endorsement without recourse
a. This type does not impose contingent liability on the endorser.
In the absence of any evidence to the contrary, endorsement is assumed to be with recourse
(Valix, 2005).
Assume that in the above example, the maker dishonored the note and the bank charged a

Accrued expense
To recall, accrued expense refers to expense incurred but not yet paid. The following are the
examples of accrued expense to be recognized at year-end:
1. Accrued interest expense
a. It is possible that the company has not yet recorded the interest that is incurred in
relation to notes payable from the date of the promissory note until year-end date.
2. Accrued salaries and wages expense
a. It is possible that as of year-end, the company has not yet paid the employees
because the year-end date is not the same with the payroll date.
3. Accrued rent expense
a. It is possible that the company or lessee has already incurred the rent but it has
not yet paid the rent as of year-end.
4. Accrued utilities expense
a. It is possible that as of year-end, the company has not yet paid the utilities or the
billing statements of the utilities have not yet received by the company.
5. Accrued taxes and licenses expense
a. It is possible that as of year-end, the company has already earned from services
rendered and sale of goods but has not yet paid the related taxes.

LESSON 13
DEPRECIATION
Study Objectives
After studying this lesson, you should be able to:
Achievement of Objective
(Put a Check mark)
1
Objective 1
Concept of depreciation
Property, plant and equipment, except land, normally are usable for a number of years after which
they have relatively little value either for service or for sale. The difference between the original
cost of a property and any remaining value when it is retired or worn out is an expense that
should be distributed to the periods during which the asset is used (Valix, 2000).
Depreciation accounting
- Is a system of accounting which aims to distribute the cost of the depreciable fixed asset
less salvage value, if any, over the estimated useful life of the asset in a systematic and
rational manner. It is a process of allocation, not of valuation (Valix, 2000).
- The objective of depreciation accounting is to have each period benefitting from the use
of the asset bear an equitable share of the asset cost (Valix, 2000).
Depreciation
- Is the portion of the cost of the asset charged as expense during an accounting period
(Valix, 2000).
Kinds of depreciation (Valix, 2000)
1. Physical depreciation
a. Is related to the depreciable assets wear and tear and deterioration over a period.
This also results to the ultimate retirement of the property or termination of the
service of the asset.
b. Physical depreciation may be caused by:
i. Wear and tear due to frequent use
ii. Passage of time due to nonuse
iii. Action of the elements such as wind, sunshine, rain or dust
iv. Accidents such as fire, flood, earthquake and other natural disaster
v. Diseases in animals and wooden buildings
2. Functional or economic depreciation
a. Arises from obsolescence or inadequacy of the asset to perform efficiently.
i. Obsolescence may arise from the following:

67
1. When there is no future demand for the product which the
depreciable asset produces
2. When a new depreciable asset becomes available and the new
asset can perform the same function for substantially less cost
ii. Inadequacy arises when the asset is no longer useful to the firm because
of an increase in the volume of operations.
Objective 2
Factors of depreciation (Valix, 2000)
In order to properly compute the amount of depreciation to be charged as expense during an
accounting period, three factors are necessary, namely:
1. Cost
2. Scrap value
a. Is the amount estimated to be recovered when the asset is retired from use.
b. It is also known as Residual value or Salvage value.
c. From the practical standpoint, the scrap value is often considered as zero because
the valuation is usually very small or not capable of estimation.
3. Estimated useful life
a. Is the expected service or economic life of the asset.
Annual depreciation =
Cost minus scrap
Life in years
Cost minus scrap value equals Depreciable cost. Depreciable cost multiplied by the Annual
depreciation rate also gives the amount of annual depreciation.
The Annual depreciation rate is determined by dividing 100% by the life of the asset in years. For
example, if the life of the asset is 5 years, then the depreciation rate is 20% (100% / 5).
The straight line method is based on the theory that periods benefited by the use of the asset
should bear an equal or equitable share of the asset cost because the straight line approach
considers depreciation as a function of time rather than as a function of usage.

Objective 1
Accounting for Doubtful Accounts
Business enterprises sell on credit rather than only for cash to increase total service income or
sales and thereby increase income. However, an enterprise that sells on credit assumes the risk
that some clients or customers will not pay their accounts (Valix, 2005).
When an account becomes uncollectible, the enterprise has sustained a bad debt loss. This loss is
simply one of the costs of doing business on credit. Two methods are followed in accounting for
this bad debt loss, namely:
1. Allowance method
2. Direct write-off method
For ACTBAS1, only the allowance method will be discussed.
Allowance method
The allowance method requires recognition of doubtful accounts expense even if some of the
accounts receivable are doubtful of collection.
The adjusting entry to recognize doubtful accounts is:

Basis for computing doubtful accounts
There are two bases or approaches for computing doubtful accounts.
1. Balance sheet approach
a. Percent of Accounts receivable balance
b. Aging analysis
2. Income statement approach
For ACTBAS1, only the balance sheet approach will be discussed.
Objective 2
Percent of Accounts receivable balance
A certain rate is multiplied to the accounts receivable balance in order to get the required
allowance balance. The rate used is usually determined from past experience of the company
(Valix, 2005).
Example 1:
Assume accounts receivable balance of P 2,000,000 and doubtful accounts are estimated to be 3%

Objective 3
Aging analysis
The aging of accounts receivable involves an analysis of the accounts where they are classified
into not due or past due. Past due accounts are further classified in terms of the length of the
period they are past due. The most common classifications are:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
8.
9.
Not due
1 to 30 days past due
31 to 60 days past due
61 to 90 days past due
91 to 120 days past due
121 to 180 days past due
181 to 365 days past due
More than 1 year past due
Bankrupt or under litigation
The allowance is then determined by multiplying the total of each classification by the rate or
percent loss experienced by the company for each category.
The major argument for the use of this method is the more accurate and scientific computation of
the allowance for doubtful accounts, and consequently, the accounts receivable are fairly
presented in the balance sheet at net realizable value (Valix, 2005).
Example:
The following data are summarized in aging the accounts at the end of the period:

Notice that in the Post-Closing Trial Balance, the income statement accounts and the drawing
account are not anymore included because they already have zero balances. In this trial balance,
the only remaining accounts are the real accounts or balance sheet accounts. Notice also that after
the closing entries, Kim Sam Soon, Capital increased from P 130,100 to P 231,020. This is due to
the addition of P 100,920, which is the amount in the last closing entry.
If the Post-Closing Trial Balance shows equal totals, then the books of accounts are ready for the
recording of transactions in the next accounting period.
