Accrual and Cash Basis of Accounting
(slide 1 of 2)

• Under the accrual basis of accounting,


revenues are reported on the income statement
in the period in which a service has been
performed or a product has been delivered.
• The accrual basis of accounting also requires
expenses to be recorded when they are
incurred, not necessarily when cash is paid.
• Generally accepted accounting principles
(GAAP) require the accrual basis of accounting.

Accrual and Cash Basis of Accounting
(slide 2 of 2)

• Under the cash basis of accounting, revenues


and expenses are reported on the income
statement in the period in which cash is received
or paid.
• Most individuals and small service businesses
may use the cash basis of accounting. For most
large businesses, however, the cash basis will
not provide accurate financial statements for
user needs.

Revenue and Expense Recognition
(slide 1 of 2)

• Under the revenue recognition principle,


revenues are recorded when services have been
performed or products have been delivered to
customers.
o Revenue is normally measured as the assets
received, such as cash or accounts receivable.
o The process of recognizing revenues is called
revenue recognition.

Revenue and Expense Recognition
(slide 2 of 2)

• Under the expense recognition principle, the


expenses incurred in generating revenue must
be reported in the same period as the related
revenue.
This is also called the matching principle.
 By matching revenues and expenses, net income
or loss for the period is properly reported on the
income statement.
 Adjusting entries are required to properly match
revenues and expenses.

The Adjusting Process
(slide 1 of 3)

• At the end of an accounting period, an


unadjusted trial balance is prepared to verify that
the total debit balances equal the total credit
balances.
• Many of these account balances are reported in
the financial statements without change.

The Adjusting Process
(slide 2 of 3)

• Some accounts on the unadjusted trial balance,


however, require adjustments for the following
reasons:
o Some expenses are not recorded daily.
o Some revenues and expenses are incurred as time
passes rather than as separate transactions.
o Some revenues and expenses may be unrecorded at
the end of the accounting period.

The Adjusting Process
(slide 3 of 3)

• The analysis and updating of accounts at the


end of the period before the financial statements
are prepared is called the adjusting process.
• The journal entries that bring the accounts up to
date at the end of the accounting period are
called adjusting entries.
• Thus, an adjusting entry will always involve a
revenue or an expense account and an asset or
a liability account.

Types of Accounts Requiring Adjustment

• The two general classifications of accounts


requiring adjustment are as follows:
o Accruals
o Deferrals

© 2017 Cengage Learning®. May not be scanned, copied or duplicated, or posted to a publicly accessible website, in whole or in part.
Types of Accounts Requiring Adjustment:
Accruals
• An accrual occurs when revenue has been
earned or an expense has been incurred but has
not been recorded.
• If the accrual is for revenue, the adjusting entry
debits an asset (Accounts Receivable) and
credits a revenue account.
• If the accrual is for an expense, the adjusting
entry debits an expense account and credits a
related liability account such as Accounts
Payable or Wages Payable.

Types of Accounts Requiring Adjustment:
Deferrals
• A deferral occurs when cash related to a future
revenue or expense has been initially recorded as a
liability or an asset.
• If the cash received is related to future revenue, it is
initially recorded as a liability called unearned
revenue.
• If the cash paid is related to a future expense, it is
initially recorded as an asset called prepaid
expense.

Depreciation Expense

• Fixed assets, or plant assets, are physical


resources that are owned and used by a
business and are permanent or have a long life.
o Examples of fixed assets include land, buildings, and
equipment.

© 2017 Cengage Learning®. May not be scanned, copied or duplicated, or posted to a publicly accessible website, in whole or in part.
Depreciation Expense

• As time passes, a fixed asset loses its ability to


provide useful services.
o This decrease in usefulness is called depreciation.

© 2017 Cengage Learning®. May not be scanned, copied or duplicated, or posted to a publicly accessible website, in whole or in part.
Depreciation Expense

• All fixed assets, except land, lose their


usefulness and, thus, are said to depreciate.
o As a fixed asset depreciates, a portion of its cost
should be recorded as an expense. This periodic
expense is called depreciation expense.

© 2017 Cengage Learning®. May not be scanned, copied or duplicated, or posted to a publicly accessible website, in whole or in part.
Depreciation Expense

• The adjusting entry to record depreciation


expense is similar to the adjusting entry for
supplies used.
o The depreciation expense account is increased
(debited) for the amount of depreciation.
o However, the fixed asset account is not decreased
(credited). Instead, an account entitled Accumulated
Depreciation is increased (credited).

Depreciation Expense

• The normal titles for fixed asset accounts and


their related contra asset accounts are as
follows:

Depreciation Expense

• The difference between the original cost of the


office equipment and the balance in the
accumulated depreciation—office equipment
account is called the book value of the asset
(or net book value).
• It is computed as follows:
Book Value of Asset = Cost of the Asset – Accumulated Depreciation of Asset
