HOW TO USE THIS COMPETENCY-BASED LEARNING MATERIAL

Welcome to the module in Journalizing Transactions for Single


Proprietorship. This module contains training materials and activities for
you to complete.

The unit of competency Journalize Transaction for Single


Proprietorship” covers the knowledge, skills, and attitudes required to
complete so as to qualify you in the National Certification in Bookkeeping

RECOGNITION OF PRIOR LEARNING (RPL)

You may already have some or most of the knowledge and skills
covered in this learner’s guide because you have:
 Been working for some time.
 Already completed training in this area.

If you can demonstrate to your trainer that you are competent in a


particular skill or skills, talk to the facilitator about having them formally
recognized so you do not have to do the same training again. If you have
qualification or Certificate of Competency from the previous trainings, show
it to the facilitator. If the skills you acquired are still current and relevant to
the unit/s of competency they may become part of the evidence you can
present for RPL. If you are not sure about the currency of your skills,
discuss this with your facilitator.

At the end of this module is a Learner’s Diary. Use the diary to record
important dates, jobs undertaken and other workplace events that will
assist you in providing further details to your facilitator/ assessor. A Record

GENERALLY ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES

Learning Objectives:
After reading this information sheet, you should be able to:

1. Identify the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.

2. Explain the importance of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles


(GAAP)
GENERALLY ACCEPTED ACCOUNT PRINCIPLES

GAAP is an international convention of good accounting practices. It is


based on the following core principles. In certain instances particular types
of accountants that deviate from these principles can be held liable.

The Business Entity Concept

The business entity concept provides that the accounting for a


business or organization be kept separate from the personal affairs of its
owner, or from any other business or organization. This means that the
owner of a business should not place any personal assets on the business
balance sheet. The balance sheet of the business must reflect the financial
position of the business alone. Also, when transactions of the business are
recorded, any personal expenditures of the owner are charged to the owner
and are not allowed to affect the operating results of the business.

The Continuing Concern Concept

The continuing concern concept assumes that a business will


continue to operate, unless it is known that such is not the case. The values
of the assets belonging to a business that is alive and well are
straightforward. For example, a supply of envelopes with the company's
name printed on them would be valued at their cost. This would not be the
case if the company were going out of business. In that case, the envelopes
would be difficult to sell because the company's name is on them. When a
company is going out of business, the values of the assets usually suffer
because they have to be sold under unfavourable circumstances. The values
of such assets often cannot be determined until they are actually sold.

The Principle of Conservatism

The principle of conservatism provides that accounting for a business


should be fair and reasonable. Accountants are required in their work to
make evaluations and estimates, to deliver opinions, and to select
procedures. They should do so in a way that neither overstates nor
understates the affairs of the business or the results of operation.

The Objectivity Principle

The objectivity principle states that accounting will be recorded on the


basis of objective evidence. Objective evidence means that different people
looking at the evidence will arrive at the same values for the transaction.
Simply put, this means that accounting entries will be based on fact and not
on personal opinion or feelings.

The source document for a transaction is almost always the best


objective evidence available. The source document shows the amount agreed
to by the buyer and the seller, who are usually independent and unrelated
to each other.

The Time Period Concept

The time period concept provides that accounting take place over
specific time periods known as fiscal periods. These fiscal periods are of
equal length, and are used when measuring the financial progress of a
business.

The Revenue Recognition Convention

The revenue recognition convention provides that revenue be taken


into the accounts (recognized) at the time the transaction is completed.
Usually, this just means recording revenue when the bill for it is sent to the
customer. If it is a cash transaction, the revenue is recorded when the sale
is completed and the cash received.

It is not always quite so simple. Think of the building of a large project


such as a dam. It takes a construction company a number of years to
complete such a project. The company does not wait until the project is
entirely completed before it sends its bill. Periodically, it bills for the amount
of work completed and receives payments as the work progresses. Revenue
is taken into the accounts on this periodic basis.

It is important to take revenue into the accounts properly. If this is


not done, the earnings statements of the company will be incorrect and the
readers of the financial statement misinformed.

The Matching Principle

The matching principle is an extension of the revenue recognition


convention. The matching principle states that each expense item related to
revenue earned must be recorded in the same accounting period as the
revenue it helped to earn. If this is not done, the financial statements will
not measure the results of operations fairly.

The Cost Principle

The cost principle states that the accounting for purchases must be at
their cost price. This is the figure that appears on the source document for
the transaction in almost all cases. There is no place for guesswork or
wishful thinking when accounting for purchases.

The value recorded in the accounts for an asset is not changed until
later if the market value of the asset changes. It would take an entirely new
transaction based on new objective evidence to change the original value of
an asset.

There are times when the above type of objective evidence is not
available. For example, a building could be received as a gift. In such a case,
the transaction would be recorded at fair market value which must be
determined by some independent means.

The Consistency Principle

The consistency principle requires accountants to apply the same


methods and procedures from period to period. When they change a method
from one period to another they must explain the change clearly on the
financial statements. The readers of financial statements have the right to
assume that consistency has been applied if there is no statement to the
contrary.

The consistency principle prevents people from changing methods for


the sole purpose of manipulating figures on the financial statements

ACCOUNTING EQUATION

Learning Objectives:
After reading this information sheet, you should be able to:

1. Familiarize the accounting equation.

2.Differentiate assets, liabilities and equities.

ACCOUNTING EQUATION

Business transactions affect the assets, liabilities, and proprietorship


of the business. These effects can be in the accounting equation.

ASSETS = EQUITIES

“Assets” include anything owned or possessed by the business which is


capable of being expressed in terms of money or possessing monetary
values, and which, consequently is available for the payment of the debts of
the business.

“Equity” include all the vested rights of person in the assets of the business.
It is classified into the following:

1. Equity of outsiders or amounts owing to persons


other than the owners of the business, technically known as “liabilities”

2. Equity of owner, known in the accountant’s


language as “capital”
LIABILITIES

EQUITIES
CAPITAL

Since there are two sources of equities, one from the creditors and the other
from the owner, then we can express the accounting equation as:

ASSETS = LIABILITIES + CAPITAL

Every transaction must be analyzed with respect to its effects on the assets,
liabilities and capital of the business. A transaction involves at least two of
the elements appearing on the accounting equation.

To illustrate, assume the following transactions:

Oct. 1- Mr. Juan Dela Cruz opened a motor repair shop and invested P100
000 cash.

A = L + C
Cash = + Gil, capital
P100 000 = 0 + P100 000
P100 000 = P100 000
Effect: Increase in asset, increase in capital

Oct. 3- He purchased repair supplies worth P25 000 on credit from Rosario
Trading.
A = L + C
Cash+Repair Supplies = Accounts Payable + Gil, capital
P100 000+P25 000 = P25 000 +100 000

Effect: Increase in asset, increase in liabilities

Oct. 5- He bought a table and chairs for the business, P 6 000 in cash.
A = L + C
Cash+Repair Supplies+Furniture = Accounts payable + Gil,

JOURNALIZING OF PROPRIETOR ACCOUNT TITLES

Learning Objectives:
After reading this information sheet, you should be able to:

1. Define journalizing.

2. Determine the accounting cycle.

3.Journalize transactions

JOURNALIZING

 Journalizing is the first step in the accounting cycle. It is the process


of recording business transactions in a journal. In order to have a
permanent record of an entire transaction, the accountant uses a book or
record known as a journal. A journal entry is the recording of a business
transaction in a journal. A journal entry shows all of the effects of a
transaction as expressed in terms of debit and credit and may include an
explanation of the transaction. A transaction is entered in a ledger accounts.
Because each transaction is initially recorded in a journal rather than
directly in the ledger, a journal is called the book of original entry. The
journal contains chronological or date wise record of business transactions,
the account debited and credited their respective amounts. Each entry is
recorded so that the duality or equilibrium or recording is maintained in
equation form:

 
Assets = Liabilities + Owner's Equity
 
and
 
Debits = Credits
  
Steps for the Process of Journalizing:

Following are the steps involved in the process of journalizing a transaction:
 
(i) Determine the titles of the accounts involved.
 
(ii) Understand nature of the accounts.
 
(iii) Apply the rule of Debit & Credit described above.
 
(iv) And make the necessary journal entry.
 
JOURNAL EXAMPLE

The following illustration draws upon the facts for the Xao Corporation.
Specifically it shows the journalizing process for Xao’s transactions. Review
it carefully, specifically noting that it is in chronological order with each
transaction of the business being reduced to the short-hand description of
its debit/credit effects. For instance, the first transaction increases both
cash and equity. Cash, an asset account, is increased via a debit. Capital
Stock, an equity account, is increased via a credit. The next transaction
increases Advertising Expense "with a debit" and decreases Cash "with a
credit."

Note that each transaction is followed by a brief narrative description;


this is a good practice to provide further documentation. For each
transaction, it is customary to list "debits" first (flush left), then the credits
(indented right). Finally, notice that a transaction may involve more than
two accounts (as in the January 28 transaction); the corresponding journal
entry for these complex transactions is called a "compound" entry.

In reviewing the general journal for Xao, note that it is only two pages
long. An actual journal for a business might consume hundreds and
thousands of pages to document its many transactions. As a result, some
businesses may maintain the journal in electronic form only.

The illustrated journal was referred to as a "general" journal. Most
businesses will maintain a general journal. All transactions can be recorded
in the general journal. However, a business may sometimes find it beneficial
to employ optional "special journals." Special journals are deployed for
highly redundant transactions.

For example, a business may have huge volumes of redundant


transactions that involve cash receipts. Thus, the company might have a
special cash receipts journal. Any transaction entailing a cash receipt would
be recorded therein. Indeed, the summary total of all transactions in this
journal could correspond to the debits to the Cash account, further
simplifying the accounting process. Other special journals might be used for
cash payments, sales, purchases, payroll, and so forth.

The special journals do not replace the general journal. Instead, they
just strip out recurring type transactions and place them in their own
separate journal. The transaction descriptions associated with each
transaction found in the general journal are not normally needed in a
special journal, given that each transaction is redundant in nature. Without
special journals, a general journal can become quite voluminous.

PAGE NUMBERING

Second, notice that the illustrated journal consisted of two pages


(labeled Page 1 and Page 2). Although the journal is chronological, it is
helpful to have the page number indexing for transaction cross-referencing
and working backward from financial statement amounts to individual
transactions. The benefits of this type of indexing will become apparent in
the general ledger exhibits within the following section of the chapter. As an
alternative, some companies will assign a unique index number to each
transaction, further facilitating the ability to trace transactions throughout
the entire accounting system.

RECAP

The general journal does nothing to tell a company about the balance
in each specific account. For instance, how much cash does Xao
Corporation have at the end of January? One could go through the journal
and net the debits and credits to Cash (P25,000 - P2,000 + P4,000 - P500 +
P4,800 - P5,000 = P26,300). But, this is tedious and highly susceptible to
error. It would become virtually impossible if the journal were hundreds of
pages long. A better way is needed. This is where the general ledger comes
into play.
