ACCRUED EXPENSES
EXPENSES
Accrued expenses are expenses incurred
but not yet paid.
A liability-expense account relationship
exists.
Prior to adjustment, liabilities and
expenses are understated.
The adjusting entry results in a debit to an
expense account and a credit to a liability
account.
Examples of accrued expenses include
accounts payable, rent payable, salaries
payable, and interest payable.

Depreciation
3-34 LO 2
Contra asset accounts allow users to see how much of
an asset was written off, its remaining useful life, and the
value of the asset.
3-35
Depreciation
The basic journal entry for depreciation is to debit the
Depreciation Expense account (which appears in the
income statement) and credit the Accumulated Depreciation
account (which appears in the balance sheet as a
contra account that reduces the amount of fixed assets).
Over time, the accumulated depreciation balance will
continue to increase as more depreciation is added to it, until
such time as it equals the original cost of the asset. At that
time, stop recording any depreciation expense, since the cost
of the asset has now been reduced to zero.

General Entry For Recording Revenue

General Entry for Unearned Revenue
ABC International hires Western Plowing to plow its parking
lot, and pays $10,000 in advance, so that Western will give
the company first plowing priority throughout the winter
months.
At the time of payment, Western has not yet earned the
revenue, so it records all $10,000 in an unearned revenue
account, using this unearned revenue journal entry.
3-39
General Entry for Unearned Revenue
Western expects to be plowing for ABC for a period of
five months, so it chooses to recognize $2,000 of the
unearned revenue per month in each of the five months.
In the first of the five months, Western records the
following unearned revenue journal entry:
Unearned revenue------2000 (liability reduces)
Plowing revenue-------2000 (revenue earned)
