MODULE 2
ACCOUNTING FOR SERVICE BUSINESS
Lesson 3: Adjustments to Reversing Entries
Adjusting Entries
Adjusting entries are entries made prior to the preparation of financial statements to
update certain accounts so that they reflect correct balances as of the designated time.
The purposes of adjusting entries are to take up unrecorded income and expense of the
period, and to split mixed accounts into their real and nominal elements.
Accruals
In accounting, the term “accrual” (or ‘to accrue’) means to recognize an:
Income when earned even if not yet collected; and
Expense when incurred even if not yet paid.
Accruals give rise to both income and receivable, or both expense and payable.
Note!
1. All adjusting entries involve at least once balance sheet account and once income
statement account.
2. All adjusting entries affect the profit or loss for the period.
3. Adjusting entries do not involve “cash” account.
Concepts:
a. Notes receivable give rise to interest income.
b. Interest income is earned due to passage of time.
Analyses:
As of December 31, 2019 (end of the accounting period), interest income should have
been earned because there is already a passage of time (from April 1 to December 31),
although interest will only be collected in the next accounting period (April 1, 2020).
Conclusion:
Interest income shall be accrued for the 9 months covering April 1 to December 31,
2019.
Formula: Interest is equal to the principal amount of the loan multiplied by the rate
multiplied by the expired time, or i = P x r x t. Therefore, accrued interest
income is P100,000 x 12% x (9months/12months) = P9,000. This is income for the
period ending December 31, 2019 although cash collection will happen on April 1, 2020.
Since this is income for the year, this must be recorded during the year. And since there
is no cash collection yet, a receivable will be recognized. Adjusting entry will be:
Note that the adjusting entry is dated at the end of the accounting period (i.e., December
31, 2019). The interest income recognized is for the expired period only (time passed(,
that is 9 months. Interest for the remaining 3 months (January 1-March 31) will be
recorded in the next accounting period, which is in year 2020. This is an application of
the time period concept.
In the next accounting period, the collection of the interest is recorded as follows:
The cash collection pertains to the one-year total interest covering April 1, 2019 to March
31, 2020, computed as P100,000 x 12% x 12/12 = P12,000.
The credit to interest receivable pertains to the accrued interest on December 31, 2019
(see Adjusting entry above).
The credit to interest income pertains to the 3-month interest income covering January 1
– March 31, 2020, computed as P100,000 x 12% x 3/12 = P3,000.
Again, income is recognized when earned not when cash is collected. Therefore the rent
income for December 2019 will be recorded in 2019 although no cash payment has been
received. Adjusting entry will be:
When the rent is collected in the next accounting period, it will record:
Observe that rent income is recognized in 2019 when it was earned rather than in 2020
when it was collected.
Concepts:
a. Notes payable give rise to interest expense.
b. Interest expense is incurred due to passage of time.
Analyses:
As of December 31, 2019 (end of the accounting period), interest expense is incurred
because there is already a passage of time (from October 1 to December 31), although
interest will only be paid in the next accounting period (October 1, 2020).
Conclusion:
Interest expense shall be accrued for the 3 months covering October 1 to December 31,
2019. Using the interest formula, accrued interest expense is P3,000, that is P100,000 x
12% x 3/12. Adjusting entry will be:
2019 Account Titles and Explanation P.R. Debit Credit
Dec. 31 Interest expense P3,000
Interest payable P3,000
To accrue interest expense incurred but not yet paid.
In 2019, interest expense is recognized only for the expired period (time passed) from
October 1 to December 31, 2019. Interest covering the remaining 9 months (January 1 to
September 30, 2019) will be recognized in the next accounting period.
Since interest is to be paid in the future (i.e., October 1, 2020), a payable account is
credited.
In the next accounting period, the payment of the interest is recorded as follows:
The debit to interest payable pertains to the accrued interest on December 31, 2019 (see
adjusting entry above). The debit to interest expense pertains to the 9 months interest
expense from January 1 to October 1, 2020. The cash payment pertains to the total 1-year
interest from October 1, 2019 to October 1, 2020.
Again, expense is recognized when incurred not when cash is paid. Therefore the salaries
expense for December 2019 will be recorded in 2019 although no cash payment has been
made. Adjusting entry will be:
2019 Account Titles and Explanation P.R. Debit Credit
Dec. 31 Salaries expense P100,000
Salaries payable P100,000
To accrue salaries expense.
In the next accounting period, the payment of the accrued salaries is recorded as follows:
Illustration
CASE 1
On January 1, 2019, a business acquired equipment for P20,000. The business expects to
use it over the next 4 years. The entry to record the acquisition would be:
The cost of the equipment is initially recorded as an asset (rather than an expense)
because it provides future economic benefits, i.e., the equipment will be used over the
next 4 years.
On December 31, 2019, the equipment has already been used for 1 year out of its total
useful life of 4 years. Thus, one-fourth of the cost should be recognized as expense.
The annual depreciation expense is computed as:
Cost P 20,000
Divided by: Useful life 4
Annual depreciation expense P 5,000
A P5,000 depreciation expense shall be recorded at the end of each of the next four years
(i.e., every December 31) as adjusting entries.
P20,000
The carrying amount of the equipment as of December 31, 2019 is determined as:
Cost P 20,000
Accumulated depreciation 5,000
Equipment – net (Carrying amount) P 15,000
One application of this concept is the recognition of bad debts expense. A certain amount
of the accounts receivable is immediately charged as bad debt expense because it ceased
to provide future economic benefits, i.e., it becomes uncollectible.
After recording the adjusting entry, the carrying amount of the receivable is brought
equal to the estimated collectible amount of P1,500.
Accounts receivable P 2,000
Allowance for bad debts 500
Accounts receivable – net (Carrying amount) P1,500
2. Nominal accounts (temporary accounts) - are accounts which are closed at the end of
the accounting period. These accounts include all the income statement accounts,
clearing accounts, and suspense accounts.
A clearing account is an account used temporarily to store amounts that will
eventually be transferred to another account. An example is the “Income Summary”
account which stores amounts of income and expenses during the period. The balance
of the Income Summary account represents the profit or loss during the period. This
account is closed to the “Owner’s Capital” account before the financial statements are
prepared.
A suspense account is an account used temporarily to store discrepancies in the
accounts pending their analysis and permanent classification. An example is the
“Cash shortage or overage” account which is temporarily used to record cash
shortages or overages pending their investigation. Depending on the result of the
investigation, this account is closed to a receivable or loss account (for shortages) or a
payable or gain account (for overages).
3. Mixed accounts – accounts that have both real and nominal components. These
accounts are subject to adjustments. These accounts include unadjusted prepayment
(‘prepaid assets’) and deferrals (‘unearned income’) that have both expired and
unexpired components.
The expired portion is the nominal account component while the unexpired portion is
the real account component.
A the end of the period, adjusting entries are needed to separate these components
because the nominal account component is presented in the income statement while
the real account component is presented in the balance sheet.
Illustration
A business rents out its building to various tenants. On April 1, 2019, the business
receives a one-year rent in advance of P120,000 from one of its tenants. Rent per month
is P10,000. The receipt of the advance rent is recorded as follows:
Observe that under the liability method, the rent received in advance is credited to a
liability account; while under the income method, the rent received is credited to an
income account.
Before any necessary year-end adjustments on December 31, 2019, both the “Unearned
rent” (liability method) and “Rent income” (income method) accounts are considered
mixed accounts. This is because both accounts contain earned and unearned portions. The
earned portion relates to the income statement account (nominal account) while the
unearned portion relates to the balance sheet account (real account).
a. The earned portion pertains to the first 9 months of the 1-year rent in advance
covering the months of April to December, 2019. This earned portion is recognized
as income for the period (i.e., 2019).
b. The unearned portion pertains to the remaining 3 months from January to March,
2020. This unearned portion is recognized as liability for the period (i.e., 2019).
Adjusting entries are needed to separate the real and nominal accounts of a mixed
account.
Notes:
Under the liability method, adjusting entry is needed to recognize the income or the
earned portion of a mixed account.
Under the income method, adjusting entry is needed to recognize the liability or the
unearned portion of a mixed account.
Both the liability and income methods are acceptable. Regardless of the method used, the
adjusted amounts of rent income and unearned rent are the same. Using the T-account for
the analysis:
LIABILITY METHOD
Illustration
A business prepays a one-year insurance for P120,000 on October 1, 2019. The
prepayment of insurance is recorded as follows:
Observe that under the asset method, the prepayment of insurance is debited to an asset
account; while under the expense method, the prepayment of insurance is debited to an
expense account.
Before any necessary year-end adjustments on December 31, 2019, both the “Prepaid
insurance” (asset method) and “Insurance expense” (expense method) accounts are
considered mixed accounts. This is because both accounts contain expired (incurred) and
the unexpired (not yet incurred) portions. The “expired” portion relates to the income
statement account (nominal account) while the “unexpired” portion relates to the balance
sheet account (real account).
Adjusting entries are needed to separate the real and nominal accounts of a mixed
account.
Notes:
Under the asset method, adjusting entry is needed to recognize the expense or the
expired portion of a mixed account.
Under the expense method, adjusting entry is needed to recognize the asset or the
unexpired portion of a mixed account.
Both the asset and expense methods are acceptable. Regardless of the method used, the
adjusted amounts of prepaid insurance and insurance expense are the same. Using the T-
account for the analysis:
ASSET METHOD
EXPENSE METHOD
Deferral
The recording of items of income that were collected in advance and items of expense
that were paid in advance is referred to as deferrals. To defer means to postpone the
recognition. Thus:
The unearned portion of an item of income that was collected in advance is
recognized as liability. This will be recognized as income only when earned.
The unexpired portion of an item of expense that was paid in advance is recognized
as asset. This will be recognized as expense only when incurred.
Accrual vs. Deferral

Drill 5
Using the same information in Drill 3, assume further that on March 31, 2020:
a. The photography equipment has a useful life of 5 years or 60 months. If an equipment
is bought on the first-half of the month, it is depreciated as if it was bought on the
first day of the month.
b. Supplies on hand is worth P15,200.
c. One employee was not included in the payroll list, hence, the P5,000 salary for the
week was not paid to him until April 2, 2020.
d. Bill from PLDT for the month of March was not paid until April 4, 2020, P1,200.
Required:
1. Prepare the necessary adjusting entries.
2. Provide for the computations of your answers.
3. Compute for the carrying amount of the equipment as of March 31, 2019.
Note: If there is (are) deferral(s) in the transaction, return to your journal entry and assess
whether you were using the asset or expense method, or liability or income method.

STEP 6: Adjusted Trial Balance (and/or Worksheet)
The worksheet is an analytical device used to facilitate the gathering of data for
adjustments, the preparation of financial statements, and closing entries.
Although optional and not part of the formal accounting records, worksheets are usually
prepared because they greatly facilitate the orderly preparation of the financial
statements. In practice, worksheets are most commonly prepared using spreadsheet
application (e.g., Microsoft Excel). A worksheet is prepared as follows:

Step 7: Financial Statements
The set of financial statements is the end product of the accounting process. Information
from the journal and the ledger are meaningless to most users unless they are summarized
and communicated through the financial statements.
The complete set of financial statements comprises of five reports in this module, we will
only prepare the following financial statements:
The income statement and balance sheet columns are already completed as shown in the
worksheet above. In the income statement columns of the worksheet:
If total credits exceed total debits, there is profit. This is because total credits in the
income statement column pertains to income while total debits pertain to expenses.
Therefore, if total credits exceed total debits in the income statement columns, the
balancing figure is on the debit side. This balancing figure is the profit. (See
‘P163,500’ in the worksheet above.)
If total debits exceed total credits, there is loss. In this case, income is less than
expenses. The balancing figure is placed on the credit side.
Of the three financial statements mentioned above, the Income Statement is prepared
first, then, the Statement of Changes in Equity, and finally, the Balance Sheet. This is so
because the amounts generated from the first statement will be carried or reflected in the
next and so on. Based on the worksheet above, let us prepare the financial statements.
Observe their relationship.

Observe how the amounts generated by each report relate to the next report (i.e., profit
from Income Statement form part in determining the ending capital shown in the
Statement of Changes in Equity, which consequently is shown in the Balance Sheet).
So where do their balances go? Remember that we offset (get the difference) the total
income and expenses so we could arrive at the profit or loss. After determining the profit
or loss, it will then be added (profit) or deducted (loss) to or from the owner’s equity.
Therefore, to answer the question as to where the balances of these temporary accounts
go? They go to the equity using the clearing account called the “Income Summary”
account.
Withdrawals of the owner is also closed to the owner’s equity account. Note that it is
directly closed to equity and NOT to Income Summary account because it is neither an
income nor an expense.
To close or to zero-out an account is simply to place the amounts on the opposite of their
normal balances:
1. Since the normal balance of income is credit, we need to debit it for it to be closed or
zeroed out.
2. Since the normal balance of expenses is debit, we need to credit it for it to be closed.
3. The balance of the income summary account which represents the profit or loss of the
period is closed to the equity account.
4. Since the normal balance of withdrawals is debit, we need to credit directly to the
equity account it for it to be closed.

If no reversing entry is made, the bookkeeper needs to go back to the records to identify
the balance of the “utilities payable” account. This can be burdensome when there are so
many transactions to be recorded in the period. Then again, reversing entries are optional
but for larger companies, this is a very helpful step.
At this point, you have already learned the accounting cycle of a service business that
can fully aid you in understanding the succeeding topics. As a jumpstart, take the
concept-based assessment (Quiz 3 via flexiquiz.com) for this topic so you can be guided
as to the progress of your learning. Since the teacher will not be around to check on you,
remember to ALWAYS MAKE HONESTY YOUR PRIORITY.
Do not forget to write down your questions that you need to ask your teacher for further
explanation. Raise these questions during your scheduled online consultation.
Now that you have learned the accounting cycle of a service business, you are to apply this
learning in the Skill-Based Assessment to be administered via flexiquiz.
