ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS

  1. Examples are: (a) Payment of an accounts payable. (b) Collection of an accounts receivable from a customer. (c) Transfer of an accounts payable to a note payable.
  2. Transactions (a), (b), (d) are considered business transactions and are recorded in the accounting records because a change in assets, liabilities, or owners'/stockholders' equity has been effected as a result of a transfer of values from one party to another. Transactions (c) and (e) are not business transactions because a transfer of values has not resulted, nor can the event be considered financial in nature and capable of being expressed in terms of money.
  3. Transaction (a): Accounts Receivable (debit), Service Revenue (credit). Transaction (b): Cash (debit), Accounts Receivable (credit). Transaction (c): Office Supplies (debit), Accounts Payable (credit). Transaction (d): Freight Out (debit), Cash (credit).
  4. Revenue and expense accounts are referred to as temporary or nominal accounts because each period they are closed out to Income Summary in the closing process. Their balances are reduced to zero at the end of the accounting period; therefore, the term temporary or nominal is given to these accounts.
  5. Andrea is not correct. The double-entry system means that for every debit amount there must be a credit amount and vice-versa. At least two accounts are affected. It does not mean that each trans- action must be recorded twice.
  6. Although it is not absolutely necessary that a trial balance be taken periodically, it is customary and desirable. The trial balance accomplishes two principal purposes: (1)It tests the accuracy of the entries in that it proves that debits and credits of an equal amount
                  are in the ledger.            
    (2)It provides a list of ledger accounts and their balances which may be used in preparing the
                  financial statements and in supplying financial data about the concern.            
  7. (a) Real account; balance sheet. (b) Real account; balance sheet. (c) Inventory is generally considered a real account appearing on the balance sheet. It has the
                  elements of a nominal account when the periodic inventory system is used. It may appear on the income statement when the multiple-step format is used under a periodic inventory system.            
    (d) Real account; balance sheet. (e) Real account; balance sheet. (f) Nominal account; income statement. (g) Nominal account; income statement. (h) Real account; balance sheet.
  8. At December 31, the three days' wages due to the employees represent a current liability. The related expense must be recorded in this period to properly reflect the expense incurred.
  9. (a)In a service company, revenues are service revenues and expenses are operating expenses. In a merchandising company, revenues are sales revenues and expenses consist of cost of goods sold plus operating expenses. (b)The measurement process in a merchandising company consists of comparing the sales price
                  of the merchandise inventory to the cost of goods sold and operating expenses.

Questions Chapter 3 (Continued)

10.(a) No change. (b) Before closing, balances exist in these accounts; after closing, no balances exist. (c) Before closing, balances exist in these accounts; after closing, no balances exist. (d) Before closing, a balance exists in this account exclusive of any dividends or the net income or net loss for the period; after closing, the balance is increased or decreased by the amount of net income or net loss, and decreased by dividends declared. (e) No change.

11.Adjusting entries are prepared prior to the preparation of financial statements in order to bring the accounts up to date and are necessary (1) to achieve a proper recognition of revenues and expenses in measuring income and (2) to achieve an accurate presentation of assets, liabilities and stockholders' equity.

12.Closing entries are prepared to transfer the balances of nominal accounts to capital (retained earnings) after the adjusting entries have been recorded and the financial statements prepared. Closing entries are necessary to reduce the balances in nominal accounts to zero in order to prepare the accounts for the next period's transactions.

13.Cost – Salvage Value = Depreciable Cost: $4,000 – $0 = $4,000. Depreciable Cost ÷ Useful Life = Depreciation Expense For One Year $4,000 ÷ 5 years = $800 per year. The asset was used for 6 months (7/1 – 12/31), therefore 1/2-year of depreciation expense should be reported. Annual depreciation X 6/12 = amount to be reported on 2012 income statement: $800 X 6/12 = $400.

14. December 31 Interest Receivable...............................................................................................................10, Interest Revenue........................................................................................................... 10, (To record accrued interest revenue on loan) Accrued expenses result from the same causes as accrued revenues. In fact, an accrued expense on the books of one company is an accrued revenue to another company.

*15.Under the cash basis of accounting, revenue is recorded only when cash is received and expenses are recorded only when paid. Under the accrual basis of accounting, revenue is recognized when it is earned and expenses are recognized when incurred, without regard to the time of the receipt or payment of cash. A cash-basis balance sheet and income statement are incomplete and inaccurate in comparison to accrual-basis financial statements. The accrual basis matches effort (expenses) with accomplishment (revenues) in the income statement while the cash basis only presents cash receipts and cash disbursements. The accrual basis balance sheet contains receivables, payables, accruals, prepayments, and deferrals while a cash basis balance sheet shows none of these.

*16.Wages paid during the year will include the payment of any wages attributable to the prior year but unpaid at the end of the prior year. This amount is an expense of the prior year and not of the current year, and thus should be subtracted in determining wages expense. Similarly, wages paid during the year will not include any wages attributable to hours worked during the current year but not actually paid until the following year. This should be added in determining wages expense.

*17.Although similar to the strict cash basis, the modified cash basis of accounting requires that expenditures for capital items be charged against income over all the periods to be benefited. This is done through conventional accounting methods, such as depreciation and amortization. Under the strict cash basis, expenditures would be recognized as expenses in the period in which the corresponding cash disbursements are made.
