'Aworksheet is a multiple-column form used in the adjustment process and in preparing financial statements. As ils name suggests, the worksheet isa working fool. Itis mot a permanent account- ing record. Its nether a journal nora part ofthe general ledger. The worksheet is merely a device ‘used in preparing adjusting entries and the financial statements. Companies generally computerize "worksheets using an electronic spreadsheet program such as Microsoft Excel. Illustration 4.1 shows the basic form of a worksheet and the five steps for preparing it, Bach step is performed in sequence. The use of a worksheet is optional. When a company chooses to use one, it prepares financial statements directly from the worksheet. It enters the adjustments in the worksheet columns and then journalizes and posts the adjustments after it hhas prepared the financial statements. Thus, worksheets make it possible to provide the finan- cial statements to management and other interested parties at an earlier date Steps in Preparing a Worksheet We will use the October 31 trial balance and adjustment data of Yazici Advertising from Chapter 3 10 illustrate how to prepare a worksheet, In the following pages, we describe and then demonstrate each step of the process, Warare ae Trance _adusnens iiss ame, Bran Account Tiles De Form and procedure for a ‘worksheet 44 CHAPTER 4 Completing the Accounting Cycle Ea Prepare a Trial Balance on the Worksheet ‘The first step in preparing a worksheet is to enter all edger accounts with balances in the ac: ‘count titles column and then enter debit and credit amounts from the ledger in the trial balance columns, Illustration 4.2 shows the worksheet trial balance for Yazici Advertising.

Trial balance amounts come| directly from ledger accounts. The Worksheet 4-5 Ea Enter the Adjustments in the Adjustments Columns ‘As shown in Illustration 4.3, the second step when using a worksheet is to enter all adjust- ments in the adjustments columns. In entering the adjustments, use applicable trial balance accounts. If additional accounts are needed, insert them on the lines immediately below the trial balance totals. A different leter identifies the debit and credit for each adjusting entry. ‘The term used to describe this process is keying, Companies do not journalize the adjust- ‘ments until after they complete the worksheet and prepare the financial statements. ‘The adjustments for Yazici Advertising are the same as the adjustments in Illustration 3.23, ‘They are keyed in the adjustments columns of the worksheet as follows. a. Yazici debits an additional account, Supplies Expense, ¢1,500 for the cost of supplies used, and credits Supplies £1,500. >. Yazici debits an additional account, Insurance Expense, #50 for the insurance that has expired, and credits Prepaid Insurance #50. c. The company needs two additional depreciation accounts. It debits Depreciation Expense ®40 for the month's depreciation, and credits Accumulated Depreciation— Equipment 140. 4d. Yazici debits Uncarned Service Revenue ¢400 for services performed, and credits Service Revenue #400, ce.

The Worksheet 4-7 Ec Enter Adjusted Balances in the Adjusted Trial Balance Columns [As shown in Mlustration 44, Yazici Advertising next determines the adjusted balance of fn account by combining the amounts entered in the fist four columns of the worksheet for each account. For example, the Prepaid Insurance account in the trial balance columns has 1600 debit balance and a #50 credit in the adjustments columns. The resul is a 8550 debit balance seconded in the adjusted trial balance columns. For each account, the amount in the adjusted trial balance columns is the balance that will appear in the ledger after _journalizing and posting the adjusting entries. The balances in these columns are the same as those in the adjusted trial batance in IMustration 3.25, After Yavici has entered all account balances in the adjusted trial balance columns, the ‘columns are totaled to prove their equality.

Yazici Advertising enters statement of financial position accounts in the appropriate statement of financial position debit and credit columns. For instance, it enters Cash in the statement of financial position debit column, and Notes Payable in the statement of financial position eredit column, Yazici extends Accumulated Depreciation—Equipment to the state- ‘ment of financial position credit column. The reason is that accumulated depreciation is a contra asset account with a eredit balance. Because the worksheet does not have columns for the owner's equity statement, Yazici extends the balance in owner's capital to the statement of financial position credit column. In addition, it extends the balance in owner's drawings tothe statement of financial position debit column because itis an owner's equity account with a debit balance. ‘The company enters the expense and revenue accounts such as Salaries and Wages Ex- pense and Service Revenue in the appropriate income statement columns.

If total credits exceed total debits, the result is net income. In such ‘case, the company inserts the words “Net Income” in the account tiles space. It then enters the amount in the income statement debit column and the statement of financial position credit column. The debit amount balances the income statement columns; the credit amount bal- ances the statement of financial position columns. In addition, the credit in the statement of financial postion column indicates the increase in owner's equity resulting from net income. What if total debits in the income statement columns exceed total edits? In that case, Yazici has a net loss. Itenters the amount of the net loss in the income statement credit column ‘and the statement of financial position debit column. ‘After entering the net income or net loss, Yazici determines new column totals. The totals shown in the debit and credit income statement columns will match. So will the totals shown in the debit and credit statement of financial position columns.

This is called closing the books. In closing the books, the company distinguishes between temporary and permanent accounts, 412 CHAPTER 4 Completing the Accounting Cycle ALTERNATIV TERMINOLOGY Temporary accounts are sometimes called nominal ‘accounts, and permanent accounts are sometimes called real accounts. ‘Temporary versus permanent ‘Temporary accounts relate only to a given accounting period. They include all income statement accounts and the owner's drawings account. The company closes all temporary accounts at the end of the period. In contrast, permanent accounts relate to one of more Future accounting periods, They consist of all statement of financial position accounts, including the owner's capital account Permanent accounts are not closed from period to period. Instead, the company carries forward the balances of permanent accounts into the next accounting period, Mlustration 4.8 identifies the accounts in each category (see Alternative Terminology). TEMPORARY PERMANENT. ‘These accounts are closed ‘These accounts are not closed All ibility accounts ‘Owner's capital account Preparing Closing Entries ‘Atthe end ofthe accounting period, the company transfers temporary aecount balances to the permanent owner's equity account, Owner's Capital, by means of closing entries. wf entries formally recognize inthe ledger the transfer of net income (or net loss) sto owners capital. The owner's equity statement shows the results of these entries. Closing entries also produce a zero balance in each temporary account. The temporary accounts are then ready to accumulate data inthe next accounting period separate fom the data of prior periods. Permanent accounts are not closed, Journalizing and posting closing entries is a required step in the accounting cycle (see Illustration 4.15). The company performs this step after it has prepared financial state- ‘ments. In contrast othe steps inthe cycle tht you have already studied, companies generally journalize and post closing entries only at the end of the annual accounting period. Thus, all temporary accounts will contain data for the entire accounting period In preparing closing entries, companies could close each income statement account directly to owner's capital. However, to do so would result in excessive detail inthe perma- nent Owner's Capital account. Instead, companies close the revenue and expense accounts to another temporary account, Income Summary, and then transfer the resulting net income or net loss from this account to owner's capital Companies record closing entries in the general journal. A center caption, Clos- ing Entries, inserted in the journal between the last adjusting entry and the first closing entry, identifies these entries. Then the company posts the closing entries to the ledger accounts ‘Companies generally prepare closing entries dircetly from the adjusted balances in the ledger. They could prepare separate closing entries for each nominal account, but the follow ing four entries accomplish the desired result more efficiently 1. Debit each revenue account for its balance, and credit Income Summary for cotal "explain losing entries or a parinerhip and for corporation in Chapters 12 and 13, sespectivaly 2, Debit Income Summary for total expenses, and credit each expense account for its balance. 3.

Closing Entries Illustrated mn practice, companies generally prepare closing entries only atthe end of the annul account- ing period. However, to illustrate the journalizing and posting of closing entries, we will assume that Yazici Advertising closes its books monthly. Illustration 4.10 shows the closing entries at October 31.

The post-closing trial balance lists permanent accounts and their balances after the journalizing and posting of closing en- tries. The purpose of the post-closing trial balance is to prove the equality of the permanent account balances carried forward into the next accounting period. Since all temporary ac- counts will have zero balances, the post-closing trial balance will contain only per statement of financial position—accounts.

The Accounting Cycle and Correcting Entries LEARNING OBJECTIVE 3 Explain the steps in the accounting cycle and how to prepare correcting entries. Summary of the Accounting Cycle Illustration 4.18 summarizes the steps in the accounting cycle. You can see that the cycle begins with the analysis of business transactions and ends with the preparation of a post- closing trial balance. Companies perform the steps in the cycle in sequence and repeat them in each accounting period, Steps 1-3 may occur daily during the accounting period. Companies perform Steps 4-7 a periodic basis, such as monthly, quarterly, or annually. Steps 8 and 9—closing entries and a post-closing trial balance—usually take place only at the end of a company's annual accounting period, ‘There are also two optional steps in the accounting cycle. As you have seen, companies may use a worksheet in preparing adjusting entries and financial statements, In addition, they may use reversing entries, as explained below. Reversing Entries—An Optional Step ‘Some accountants prefer to reverse certain adjusting entries by making a reversing entry at the beginning of the next accounting period. A reversing entry is the exact opposite of the adjusting entry made in the previous period. Use of reversing entries is an optional book- ‘keeping procedure; itis not a required step in the accounting cycle. Accordingly, we have chosen to cover this topic in an appendix at the end of the chapter. Correcting Entries—An Avoidable Step Unfortunately, errors may occur in the recording process, Companies should correct errors, as soon as they discover them, by journalizing and posting correcting entries. I the account- ing records are free of errors, no correcting entries are needed, You should recognize several differences between correcting entries and adjusting entries First, adjusting entries are an integral part of the accounting cycle. Correcting entries, on the | PTHICS NOTE other hand, are unnecessary ifthe records are error-free. Second, companies journalize and post} When companies find errors ‘adjustments only at the end of an accounting period.

Correcting entries must be posted before closing entries. To determine the correcting entry, its useful to compare the incorrect entry with the cor rect entty, Doing so helps identify the accounts and amounts that should—and should not—be corrected. After comparison, the accountant makes an entry to correct the accounts. The fol- Towing two cases for Mercato Co. illustrate this approach, Case 1 (On May 10, Mercato Co, journalized and posted a NT$500 cash collection on account from a customer as a debit to Cash NTS500 and a eredit to Service Revenue NT$500. The company discovered the error on May 20, when the customer paid the remaining balance in full (see Mlustration 4.16), Incorrect Entry (May 10) Correct Entry (May 10) Ca | >| Cash | Service Revenue 500 | Accounts Receivable 500 Comparison of the incorrect entry with the correct entry reveals that the debit 10 Cash NTS500 is correct. However, the NTSS00 credit to Service Revenue should have been credited to Accounts Receivable. As a result, both Service Revenue and Accounts Receivable are over- stated in the ledger. Mercato makes the correcting entry shown in Illustration 4.17, Correcting Entry May 20. | Service Revenue 500 "Accounts Receivable 500 (To correct entry of May 10) Case 2 (On May 18, Mercato purchased on account equipment costing NTS4,S00. The transaction was journalized and posted as a debit to Equipment NTS450 and a credit to Accounts Payable NTS450. The error was discovered on June 3, when Mercato received the monthly statement for May from the creditor (see Mustration 4.18). Incorrect Entry (May 18) Correct Entry (May 18) Equipment | Equipment | = ‘Accounts Payable 450 | Accounts Payable 4,500 ‘Comparison of the two entries shows that two accounts are incorrect. Equipment is un- derstated NTS4,050, and Accounts Payable is understated NTS4,050.

Classified Statement of Financial Position 4-23 Classified Statement of Financial Position LEARNING OBJECTIVE 4 Identify the sections of a classified statement of financial position, ‘The statement of financial position presents a snapshot of a company’s financial position at a point in time, To improve users’ understanding of a company’s financial position, companies often use a classified statement of financial position. A classified statement of financial position groups together similar assets and similar liabilities, using a number of standard clas- sifications and sections. This is useful because items within a group have similar econom characteristics. A classified statement of financial position generally contains the standard classifications listed in Mlustration 4.20, Assets ites Intangible assets Property, plant, and equipment Long-term investments (Current assets Eguity and Li Equity NNon-curren bilities ‘Current labiiies ‘These groupings help financial statement readers determine such things as (1) whether the company has enough assets to pay its debts as they come due, and (2) the claims of short- and Ton, ors on the company's total assets.

Classified Statement of Financial Position 4-25 Property, Plant, and Equipment Property; plant, and equipment are assets with relatively long useful lives that a company is currently using in operating the business. This category includes land, buildings, machinery nd equipment, delivery equipment, and furniture (see Alternative Terminology). In Tllustra- tion 4.21, Cheng Ltd. reported property, plant, and equipment of NTS29,000. Depreciation is the practice of allocating the cost of assets to a number of years. Com= panies do this by systematically assigning a portion of an asset's cost as an expense each year (rather than expensing the full purchase price inthe year of purchase). The assets thatthe com- pany depreciates are reported on the statement of financial position at cost less accumulated dopreciation. The accumulated depreciation account shows the total amount of depreciation that the company has expensed thus far inthe asset's life. In Ilustration 4.21, Cheng Ltd. re- ported accumulated depreciation of NT$5,000. Illustration 4.23 presents the property, plant, and equipment of Laclede Group (KOR).

For example, accounts receivable are current assets ALTERNATIVE TERMINOLOGY Property, plant, and equi ment is\ sometimes. called fixed assets or plant assets nee) Property, plant, section ALTERNATIVE TERMINOLOGY Long-term investments are often referred to simply as Long-term investments section 26 CHAPTER 4 Completing the Accounting Cycle because the company will collect them and convert them to cash within one year. Supplies is ‘current asset because the company expects to use the supplies in operations within one yea. Some companies use a period longer than one year to classify assets and liabilities as ccurrent because they have an operating cycle longer than one year. The operating e company is the average time that it takes to purchase inventory, sell it on account, and then collect cash from customers. For most businesses, this cycle takes less than a year so they use ‘2 one-year cutoff. But for some businesses, such as vineyards or airplane manufacturers, this period may be longer than a year. Except where noted, we will assume that companies use one year to determine whether an asset or liability is current or non-current. ‘Common types of currentassets are (1) cash, (2) investments (such as short-term govern: ‘ment securities), (3) receivables (notes receivable, accounts receivable, and interest r able) (4) inventories, and (5) prepaid expenses (supplies and insurance). On the statement of financial position, companies usually list these items in the reverse order in which they expect to convert them into cash, Ilustration 4.25 presents the current assets of Tesco (GBR). dle of a eS Current assets Inventories £2,430 ‘Trade and other receivables 13 Derivative financial instruments 7 Current tax assets 6 Short-term investments 360 ‘Cash and cash equivalents 788 oval curent assets ism AAs we explain later in the chapter, a company's current assets are important in assessing its short-term debt-paying ability Owner’s Equity ‘The content of the owner's equity section varies with the form of business organization, In 1 proprietorship, there is one capital account. In a partnership, there is a capital account for ceach partner. Corporations often divide equity into two accounts—Share Capital and Retained Earnings. Corporations record shareholders’ investments in the company by debiting an asset account and crediting the Share Capital account. They record in the Retained Earnings ac count income retained for use in the business, Corporations combine the Share Capital and Retained Earnings accounts and report them on the statement of financial position as equity.

Many companies report long-term debt matur- ing after one year as a single amount in the statement of financial position and show the details of the debt in notes that accompany the financial statements. Others list the various types of non-current liabilities.

Such entries ‘are reversing entries, Companies make a reversing entry at the beginning of the next ac- ‘counting period, Each reversing entry is the exact opposite ofthe adjusting entry made in the previous period. The recording of reversing entries is an optional step in the accounting cycle. “The purpose of reversing entries isto simplify the recording of a subsequent transaction re- lated to an adjusting entry. For example, in Chapter 3, the payment of salaries ater an adjusting cniry resulted in wo debits: one o Salaries and Wages Payable and the other to Salaries and Wages Expense. With reversing entries, the company can debit the entre subsequent payment to Salaries sand Wages Expense. The use of reversing entries does not change the amounts reported in the financial statements. What it does is simplify the recording of subsequent transactions. Reversing Entries Example ‘Companies most often use reversing entries to reverse two types of adjusting entries: acerued revenues and accrued expenses. To illustrate the optional use of reversing entries for accrued expenses, we will use the salaries expense transactions for Yazici Advertising as illustrated in ‘Chapters 2, 3, and 4, The transaction and adjustment data areas follows. 1. October 26 (initial salary entry): Yazici pays £4,000 of salaries and wages earned between ‘October 15 and October 26. 2. October 31 (adjusting entry): Salaries and wages earned between October are ¢1,200. The company will pay these in the November 9 payroll 3. November 9 (subsequent salary entry): Salaries and wages paid are 4,000. OF this amount, £1,200 applied to accrued salaries and wages payable and 2,800 was earned ‘between November I and November 9 29 and October 31 Illustration 44.1 shows the entries with and without reversing entries.

The last ‘ovo entries are different. The November I reversing entry eliminates the ¢1,200 balance in Salaries and Wages Payable created by the October 31 adjusting entry. The reversing entry also creates a £1,200 credit balance in the Salaries and Wages Expense account. As you know, it is unusual for an expense account to have a eredit balance. The balance is correct in this instance, though, because it anticipates that the entire amount of the first salaries and wages payment in the new accounting period will be debited to Salaries and Wages Expense. This debit will eliminate the credit balance. The resulting debit balance in the expense account will equal the salaries and wages expense incurred in the new accounting period (22,800 in th example), If Yazici makes reversing entees, it can debit all cash payments of expenses to the expense account. This means that on November 9 (and every payday) Yazici can debit Salaries and ‘Waxes Expense for the amount paid, without regard to any accrued salaries and wages payable. Being able to make the same entry each time simplifies the recording process. The company ccan record subsequent transactions as ifthe related adjusting entry had never been made, Mlustration 44.2 shows the posting of the entries with reversing entries. stg wh reversing ees Salaries and Wages Expense Salaries and Wages Payable 1026 Paid 4,000 TA Reversing 1,200 | 10051 Adjusting 1.200 31 Adjusting 1.200 10031 Clos LIL Reversing A company can also use reversing entries for accrued revenue adjusting entries.
