ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS
1. (a) Only events that cause a change in an asset, liability, or
shareholders’ equity account are recorded as accounting
transactions. Other events, such as the agreement to provide a
service, do not immediately impact an asset, liability, or
shareholder’s equity account and, therefore, are not considered an
accounting transaction.
(b) Examples of events that would not be recorded include hiring
employees, signing a lease, and placing an order to purchase
services.

3. Yes, a company can enter into a transaction in which only the left (assets)
side of the accounting equation is affected. An example would be a
transaction where an increase in one asset is offset by a decrease in
another asset. A decrease in the Accounts Receivable account which is
offset by an increase in the Cash account is a specific example (that is, a
customer paying for goods previously purchased on account).

6. Emily is likely relating the term debit and credit to the normal balances of
accounts. Since assets have normal debit balances and, from a personal
standpoint, acquiring and possessing assets is viewed in a positive light,
it might follow in Emily’s mind that debits are favourable. On the other
hand, liabilities have a normal credit balance and might be viewed by
Emily in a negative light because debt is unfavourable from a personal
standpoint. However, Emily is incorrect. Debits mean nothing more than
the left side of accounts and credits the right side of the accounts. Neither
is favourable or unfavourable.

9. This would not be efficient because the journal provides a record that
shows both “sides” of the transaction along with a description of the
transaction. This information is vital to the understanding of the event. A
general ledger is not intended to be used to capture the recording of
transactions, but to tabulate the effects of transactions in separate
accounts. The balances arrived at in the ledger are then used to
communicate information to the users of the financial statements. If one
attempted to omit the use of journal entries, one could not retrace the
transactions as they originated in the journal. One would only see one
side of a transaction at a time by looking at an account in the ledger. It
would become very confusing and unruly to try to keep track of
transactions.

11. (a) The general ledger is the entire group of accounts maintained by a
company, including all the asset, liability, and shareholders' equity
accounts, including the share capital, retained earnings, dividends
declared, revenue, and expense accounts.
(b) The general ledger is often arranged in the order in which accounts
are presented in the financial statements, beginning with the
statement of financial position accounts. The asset accounts come
first, followed by liability accounts, and then shareholders’ equity
accounts, including the share capital, retained earnings, dividends
declared, revenue, and expense accounts.

12. (a) The chart of accounts is a list of a company’s accounts. The chart of
accounts is important, particularly for a company that has a large
number of accounts, because it helps organize the accounts and
identify their location in the general ledger.
(b) Numbering the accounts helps identify and sort the accounts.

14. (a) A trial balance is a list of accounts and their balances at a point in
time. The primary purpose of a trial balance is to prove the
mathematical equality of debits and credits after all journalized
transactions have been posted. A trial balance also facilitates the
discovery of errors in journalizing and posting. In addition, it is useful
in preparing financial statements.
(b) While it does not matter in what order the accounts are listed in the
trial balance, it is usual for the accounts in the trial balance to be
listed in the same order as they are listed in the general ledger
(asset accounts, liability accounts, and shareholders’ equity
accounts, including the share capital, retained earnings, dividends
declared, revenue, and expense accounts). This makes it easier to
compare the trial balance accounts to the general ledger accounts,
as well as to prepare the financial statements from the trial balance.

15. The retained earnings account in the unadjusted trial balance shows the
beginning balance of the period (which is the same as the ending balance
of the prior period) as it has not yet been updated for the effect that the
revenues, expenses, and dividends declared have on retained earnings
for the current accounting period. (Note to instructors: This chapter only
includes references to an unadjusted and pre-closing trial balance; the
post-closing trial balance is not introduced until Chapter 4.)

transactions. A general ledger is not intended to be used to capture the
recording of transactions, but to tabulate the effects of transactions in
separate accounts. The balances arrived at in the ledger are then used to
communicate information to the users of the financial statements. If one
attempted to omit the use of journal entries, one could not retrace the
transactions as they originated in the journal. One would only see one

PROBLEM 3-12A
(a) (1) General: Three accounts are listed in the wrong columns: Cash (debit),
Accumulated Depreciation (credit), and Unearned Revenue (credit).
(2)
1. The trial balance totals are not affected, only the amounts appearing
on the trial balance are affected. Cash would be understated by $180
($750 – $570) and Accounts Receivable overstated by the same
amount. Note that Cash was one of the accounts listed in the wrong
column (credit instead of debit). If Cash had not been corrected and
was still in the credit column, then the trial balance would still balance
but the total credits would be understated by $180 (since Cash is in
the credit column) and total debits would be understated by $180
(because of Accounts Receivable in the debit column).
2. The trial balance totals are not affected, only the accounts and
amounts appearing on the trial balance are affected. Equipment
would be understated by $360 and Supplies overstated by the same
amount.
3. Trial balance is out of balance because of the slide error (wrong
number of zeros/position of decimal spot). Service Revenue would be
understated by $801 ($890 – $89) and the total for the credit column
is lower by the same amount.
4. Trial balance is out of balance because of transposition error.
Salaries Expense is understated by $900 ($4,300 – $3,400) and the
total for the debit column is lower by the same amount.
5. The trial balance totals are not affected by this omission; only the
accounts and amounts appearing on the trial balance are affected.
Rent Expense would be understated by $1,000 (should be shown on
the trial balance) and Cash overstated by the same amount. Note
that Cash is one of the accounts listed in the wrong column (credit
instead of debit).

(c) Sobeys has about 10 times the assets compared to North West ($7,960.6
million compared to $793.795 million). However, it also has 12 times the
liabilities ($5,230.9 million compared to $436.183 million) which is why its
shareholders’ equity is proportionately lower. Sobeys’s shareholders’
equity is less than 8 times the equity reported by North West ($2,729.7
million compared to $357.612 million).
North West’s share capital comprises about 47% of its total shareholders’
equity whereas Sobeys’s is more than 100% of its total equity. Of course,
this comparison is skewed because Sobeys reported a deficit (negative
retained earnings) rather than a positive retained earnings for its latest
fiscal year.

(b) Uber would likely report current assets such as cash, accounts
receivable, and supplies. Its non-current assets likely consist of property,
plant, and equipment such as office furniture and equipment and
computer systems including hardware and software. It also would report
intangible assets such as the software developed to run its ride-sharing
app. In addition, this category would include technology the company
purchased from Microsoft related to street imaging and 3-D views.
(c) The valuation given by the market to Uber Technologies Inc. is not based
on the assets on its statement of financial position but on investors’
perception of its ability to produce growth and income in the future.

(b) A spreadsheet can help, in a small business like Bob’s Repairs, to organize information. However, it lacks
the date, specific account title for multiple expenses, and explanation for each entry that one would find in a
traditional general journal. It could assist in posting, although again it lacks any cross-referencing to allow
transactions to be traced back to the source, if required. Finally, use of a spreadsheet, while convenient for
very small businesses, would limit growth in the number of accounts and transactions.

Uncle Bob would not be pleased to find out that operating cash flows
were not positive. This can often happen during the first year that a
company operates.
The other two cash transactions not shown above are financing activities:
the issue of common shares for $10,000 and the declaration and
payment of dividends for $1,000. The net increase to cash of $9,000
allowed the company to have a positive cash balance $3,100 (−$5,900 +
$9,000) at the end of the year.
(e) The bank would want collateral for any loan given to the company.
Usually such collateral consists of property, plant, or equipment and this
company has none of these. It may be possible to secure a loan with
accounts receivable but the company did not have this type of asset
when it was first formed.
(f) No, the company does not have enough cash to pay the income tax. The
company would have to collect some accounts receivable if it hoped to
pay the income tax.
(g) The government levies income tax on corporations, which are considered
legal entities, separate from their shareholders. Uncle Bob would pay
income tax only on the dividends he received from the company.

(e) Personal expenses in the first term are far too high. Some expenses that
can be reduced in the second term include personal costs for
entertainment and eating out. If half as much is spent in the second term,
$750 can be saved. In addition, clothes expenses could be reduced to
$300, saving another $1,200. Travel to go home can be eliminated.
Finally, if the residence room is kept in good condition and with no
damages, $400 for the damage deposit will be returned in cash.

(a) Ron, here are some tips to help you find the $810 error in the trial
balance assuming it is a single error:
1. If the error is an amount such as $1, $100, or $1,000, re-add the trial
balance columns and recalculate the account balances. This tip
does not apply in this case because the difference between the debit
and credit columns is $810.
2. If the error can be evenly divided by two (which it can be in this case
$810 ÷ 2 = $405), scan the trial balance to see if a balance equal to
half the error has been entered in the wrong column.
3. If the error can be evenly divided by nine (which it can be in this
case $810 ÷ 9 = $90), retrace the account balances on the trial
balance to see whether they have been incorrectly copied from the
ledger. For example, if a balance was $12 but was listed as $21, a
$9 error has been made. Reversing the order of numbers is called a
transposition error. A slide, which is adding or deducting one or
several zeros in a figure, has the same effect.
4. If the error cannot be evenly divided by two or nine, scan the ledger
to see whether an account balance in the amount of the error has
been omitted from the trial balance. Scan the journal to see whether
a posting in the amount of the error has been omitted.
Note that these suggestions will not always work, especially if there is
more than one error and sometimes, the only way to find an error is to
retrace all of the work carefully.

(c) By adding $810 to the Salaries Expense account, the account total has
been deliberately misstated. By not locating the error causing the
imbalance, some other account or accounts may also be misstated by a
net amount of $810. Ron did not advise his fellow team members of the
action he has taken to avoid detection. While his motivation was most
likely to meet the deadline for handing in the assignment, he also “hoped
no one would notice the difference” so he made this change with
deliberate intent. It was inappropriate not to offer the other group
members an opportunity to find the error in one or more of their parts of
the assignment, or to take action without advising them. The entire group
will be affected by Ron’s actions and had no means of agreeing to the
strategy taken to address the problem. As an aside, it is important for
students to agree as a group on “behavioural norms” ahead of time to
help reduce the likelihood of unintended consequences affecting one or
more of the group.
The adding of the $810 to the Salaries Expense account is not by itself
unethical in a classroom situation but it does not adhere to the qualitative
characteristic of faithful representation of the numbers. The professor
would obviously catch this error and grade the assignment accordingly.
However, Ron’s failure to inform other group members that he was
changing amounts that they had prepared would be considered by many
to be both inappropriate and unethical.
CT3-5 (CONTINUED)
(c) (continued)
Although the assignment will not affect external users of a real financial
report, it is important to understand that if this had been a real life
situation, Ron’s actions—both the changing of an account balance and
the failure to inform—would be considered to be unethical because
financial information was intentionally altered and done deliberately to
mislead users. [See also the answer to part (e).]
While Ron is not likely in breach of any rule or directive issued by the
school concerning academic integrity, the professor and the other group
members will not agree with the strategy used by Ron. They will wonder if
this is the type of action Ron would take while at a future job. Such
actions would then affect others who are not part of the school community
and the reputation of the school would be diminished. This in turn could
affect society’s opinion of the past and future graduates of the school.
