Parts of a Worksheet
The basic form of a 10 column worksheet could be
presented as follows:

Journalizing
Note: Write the heading at the center of the
topmost of the worksheet: business name, the title
“WORKSHEET” and the date of the worksheet
(Accounting Period).

STEPS (not sure dito shshsh, kung ano man)


1.) Copy the trial balance on the first two column.

The Worksheet
The worksheet or work paper is a device used as
convenient and orderly way of organizing the
accounting data to facilitate the preparation of
adjusting entries, financial statements, and closing
entries.
It is called as the accountant’s scratch paper. It is
not part of formal accounting records, but it is an
aid used to accumulate and organize data, thus
facilitate the checking, handling and keeping of the
accounting records.
2.) Now, put the adjustment from the Adjusting If both amounts on one account title is on the same

Note: The sequence of the account titles in this Example: Both of the amount in the Salary Expense
worksheet isn’t base on the chart of accounts. (Ang from the Unadjusted Trial Balance and the
pagkakasunod-sunod ay base na sa items). Adjustment is on the DR side, you will add them.

4. Put the income statement on the fourth two


lines. The adjusted amount of revenue and
expense.

3.) Put the Adjusted Trial Balance (the trial balance

Note: Kung saan mas malaki ung amount, duon

(Example mas malaki ang nasa debit side, sa debit

masubtract)
The Financial Statements (Service Concern)
Financial Statements are the end-result or main
output of the accounting process by which
information accumulated processed is periodically
communicated to the users.
Income Statement
- Also called as the Statement of Operation,
is a formal statement showing the
performance of an enterprise for a given
period of time which is primarily measured
in terms of level of income earned through
the effective and efficient use of its
available resources.
5. Prepare the balance sheet and put it on the last - The basic accounting element in measuring
two lines. You will put on this side all the accounts the results of operations of the business are
that wasn’t included in the income statement. Revenues, Expenses and Net Income.
- If the expenses exceed the revenues, the
difference is a NET LOSS.
- A Net Income increases the Owner’s Equity,
Thus, the following equation is observed in
the Income Statement:

Revenue- Expenses = Net Income/ Net Loss


Single Step Form
- The income statement for service business
is usually prepared in single step form. This
is a presentation where all income are
grouped together in one section, all
expenses in one another section and the
result of operations is determined by a
single-step operation by deducting the
total expenses from the total income.
Example:

(ilalagay ko sa huli ung clear image nyan)


Guidelines in Preparing an Income Statement: Guidelines in Preparing Balance Sheet:
(from the book)
1. Headings. The heading of balance sheet and the
heading of an Income Statement are significantly
different in the manner of time period it is
reported on. The balance sheet gives information
as of given date whereas the Income statement
gives information for given time period.
2. Place the Heading of the Income Statement at
the center.
3. Arrange the accounts according to magnitude

accounts, with the Assets shown in the left side

and the Liabilities and Owner’s Equity on the Right
4. Put all the miscellaneous accounts, whether Side. Example:
income or expenses as the last account in every
section.
5. Put a Peso sign on the first amount in every
column at after everything.
6. Single-Rule after every arithmetic operation.
Double-Rule the final result of Net Income or Net
