ACCOUNTING
It is a service entity. Its function is to provide quantitative
information, primarily financial in nature, about economic entities
that is intended to be useful in making economic decisions.
It is the process of identifying, measuring and communicating
economic information to permit informed judgments and decisions by
users of the information.
It is the art of recording, classifying and summarizing in a
significant manner and in terms of money, transactions and events
which are, in part at least, of a financial character, and interpreting
the results thereof.
FUNDAMENTAL CONCEPTS
BASIC PRINCIPLES
Objectivity Principle. Accounting records and statements are
based on the most reliable data available so that they will be as
accurate and as useful as possible. Reliable data are verifiable
when independent observers can confirm them.
Historical Cost. This principle states that acquired assets should
be recorded at their actual cost and not at what management
thinks they are worth as at reporting date.
Revenue Recognition Principle. Revenue is to be recognized in the
accounting period when goods are delivered or services are
rendered or performed.
Expense Recognition Principle. Expenses should be recognized in
the accounting period in which goods and services are used up to
produce revenue and not when the entity pays for those goods and
services.
Adequate Disclosure. Requires that all relevant information that
would affect the user’s understanding and assessment of the
accounting entity be disclosed in the financial statements.
Materiality. Financial reporting is only concerned with information
that is significant enough to affect evaluations and decisions.
A. TRUE or FALSE.
1. Accounting information may not be supported by independent,
unbiased evidence.
2. Trading or merchandising differs from a manufacturing in that the
former renders services for profit.
3. A corporation is legal entity, organized by operations of law.
4. Manufacturing is converting raw materials into finding products.
5. Knowledge of accounting is very useful for the accountant only and
not to anybody who is engaged or interested in business.
6. Governmental bodies or agency uses accounting information to
assist them whether to extend credit or not.
7. Trading or merchandising is a business that deals with buying and
selling of the same goods in the same form for profit.

Learning Objective:
After reading this information sheet, the student must be able
to identify and describe the different account titles used in accounting; and
classify each account according to accounting elements
BALANCE SHEET
I. Assets – is a resource controlled by the enterprise as a result of past
events and from which future economic benefits are expected to flow
to the enterprise.
Current Assets:
a. is expected to be realized in, or is held for sale or consumption
in, the normal course of the enterprise’s operating cycle; or
b. is held primarily for trading purposes or for the short-term and
expected to be realized within twelve months of the balance
sheet date; or
c. is cash or a cash equivalent asset which is not restricted in its
use.
Examples:
1. Cash – Is any medium of exchange that a bank will accept
for deposit at face value. It includes coins, currency, checks,
money order, bank deposits and drafts.
2. Notes Receivable – it is a written pledge that a customer
will pay the business a fixed amount of money on a certain
date.
3. Accounts Receivable – These are claims against customers
arising from sale of services or goods on credit.
4. Inventories – these are assets, which are (1) held for sale in
the ordinary course of business; (2) in the process of
production for such sale; (3) in the form of materials or
supplies to be consumed in the production process or in the
rendering of services.
5. Prepaid Expenses – These are expenses paid for by the
business in advance. It is an asset because the business
avoids having to pay cash in the future for a specific
expense. These prepaid items represent future economic
benefits – assets – until the time these start to contribute to
the earning process; these, then, become expenses.
INCOME STATEMENT
I. Income – Is increases in economic benefits during the accounting
period in the form of inflows or enhancements of assets or decreases of
liabilities that result in increases of equity, other than those relating to
contributions from equity participants.
Classify the following account titles. Write (A) FOR ASSETS, (L) for LIABILITIES,
( OE ) for OWNER’S EQUITY, (I) for INCOME and (E) for EXPENSE.
Learning Objective:
After reading this information sheet, the student must be able
to prepare a Chart of Account for a certain company using the correct
format.
Account Numbering
Defining Accounts
Account Order
Balance sheet accounts tend to follow a standard that lists the most liquid
assets first. Revenue and expense accounts tend to follow the standard of
first listing the items most closely related to the operations of the business.
For example, sales would be listed before non-operating income. In some
cases, part or all of the expense accounts simply are listed in alphabetical
order.
Asset Accounts
Current Assets
Fixed Assets
Other Assets
1900 Deposits
1910 Organization Costs
1915 Accumulated Amortization, Organization Costs
1920 Notes Receivable, Non-current
1990 Other Non-current Assets
Liability Accounts
Current Liabilities
Long-term Liabilities
Equity Accounts
Revenue Accounts
Expenses
Instructions
1. Organize the business by classifying the items into what the business
owns (assets), what the business owes (liabilities), the value of the
business to the owners (equity), business income (revenues) and what
the business spends to provide the income (expenses.)
2. Give each asset account a unique name, such as cash-checking, cash-
savings, accounts receivable, inventory, investments and fixed (or
depreciable) assets. Assign sequential numbers to these accounts
from 1000 to 1999. The range of the account numbers allows the
addition of new account names and numbers as the business
expands.
3. Name each liability account with a unique name, such as accounts
payable, notes payable, loans payable, wages payable, and payroll
taxes payable to track any amounts the business owes to others.
These may be further divided into short term liabilities (amounts due
to be paid within one business year or less) and long term liabilities

Learning Objective:
After reading this information sheet, the student must be able
to understand, identify and analyze the use of the different rules of Debit
and Credit.
Second, let us define "debit" and "credit". Debit means left and credit
means right. Do not associate any of them with plus or minus. Debit simply
means left and credit means right – that's just it! "Debit" is abbreviated as
"Dr." and "credit", "Cr.".
The terms originated from the Latin terms "debere" or "debitum" which
means "what is due"; and "credere" or "creditum" which means "something
entrusted or loaned".
And third, we define what we call "normal balance". Each account has
a debit and a credit side. You could picture that as a big letter T, hence the
term "T-account". Again, debit on the left side and credit on the right. Normal
balance is the side where the balance of the account is normally found.
When you place an amount on the normal balance side, you are
increasing that account. If you put an amount on the opposite side, you are
decreasing the account. Therefore, to increase an asset, you debit it. To
For Example
And the same rule applies to all asset, liability, and capital accounts.
To sum that up, here's a table summarizing the normal balances of the accounting
elements, and the actions to increase or decrease them. Notice that the normal balance is the
same as the action to increase the account.
Accounting Normal
To Increase To Decrease
Element Balance
1. Assets Debit Debit Credit
2. Liabilities Credit Credit Debit
3. Capital Credit Credit Debit
4. Withdrawal Debit Debit Credit
5. Income Credit Credit Debit
6. Expense Debit Debit Credit
Tip: You don't need to memorize the whole table. Just be familiar with the
normal balance portion and you'll be okay. The normal balance is the same
as the action to increase the account. The action to decrease the account is
simply the opposite of that.
Instruction: For each of the following items, identify whether the account is
DEBIT or CREDIT.
And oops! What about item #9? How do you increase Accumulated
Depreciation? It is a contra-asset account (deducted from an asset account).
For contra-asset accounts, the rule is simply the opposite of the rule for
assets. Therefore, to increase Accumulated Depreciation, you credit it.
We will apply these rules and practice some more when we get to the actual
recording process.
Learning Objective:
After reading this information sheet, the student must be able
to analyze a business transaction and make a transaction analysis using the
Basic Accounting Equation.
This equation must remain in balance and for that reason our modern
accounting system is called a dual-entry system. This means that every
transaction that is recorded in accounting records must have at least two
entries; if it only has one entry the equation would necessarily be
unbalanced.
From the equation we can see that what the business owns (assets) equals
what it owes both creditors (liabilities) and the owners (equity).
1. The business owes creditors for loans made and other obligations to
pay for goods or services.
If you know any two of the amounts you can calculate the third.
The asset “Cash” is increased by $5000 and the Owner’s Equity is increased
Php 5000. The business owes the owner Php 5000.
+ Php550
- Php550
The asset “Office Supplies” is increased Php550 and the asset “Cash” is
decreased Php550.
As you can see, regardless of the transaction, the accounting equation must
stay balanced.
The Expanded Accounting Equation breaks out the Owner’s Equity section
into two components: Revenues and Expenses.
The asset “Cash” is increased Php1200 and the revenue increases Owner’s
Equity Php1200.
Transaction 6: The business pays its rent monthly rent of Php950 using a
company check.
The asset “Cash” is decreased Php950 and the expense decreases Owner’s
Equity Php950.
Transaction 7: The business’ owner withdraws Php2, 000 for his personal
use.
The asset “Cash” is decreased Php2000 and the drawing decreases Owner’s
Equity Php2000.

When we analyze that transaction, it would show that the accounting effects
would be an increase in an asset account (Computer Equipment), and a
decrease in another asset (Cash) since we paid for the equipment.
Date
Particulars Debit Credit
2013
Jun 3 Computer Equipment 1,200.00
Cash 1,200.00
To record purchase of computer equipment.
You will have no trouble as long as you know how to use debits and
credits and what accounts to record. In the above example, computer
equipment is an asset account.
Easy, right? No? Don't worry; it does require a little practice and some
exposure.
When there is only one account debited and one credited, it is called a
simple journal entry. There are however instances when more than one
account is debited or credited. They are called compound journal entries.
Let's take the previous transaction and change it up a bit. Here's the
new transaction: On June 3, 2013, our company purchased computer
equipment at 1,200.00. Our company paid 800.00 and the 400.00 balance
will be paid after 30 days.
The journal entry shows that the company received computer equipment
worth 1,200. Cash is decreased by 800, the amount paid.
Notice that the total amount debited is equal to the total amount
credited.
The journal entry should increase the company's Cash, and establish/increase the capital
account of Mr. Gray; hence:
Date
Particulars Debit Credit
2013
Mar 1 Cash 10,000.00
Mr. Gray, Capital 10,000.00
To record the investment of Mr.
Donald Gray
First, we will debit the expense (to increase an expense, you debit it); and then, credit Cash to
record the decrease in cash as a result of the payment.
There is an increase in an asset account (Furniture and Fixtures) in exchange for a decrease in
another asset (Cash).
The company received supplies thus we will record a debit to increase supplies. By the terms
"on account", it means that the amount has not yet been paid; and so, it is recorded as a
liability of the company.
9 Cash 1,900.00
Service Revenue 1,900.00
To record the receipt of cash of for
services rendered
In this transaction, the services have been fully rendered (meaning, we made an income; we
just haven't collected it yet.) Hence, we record an increase in income and an increase in a
receivable account.
Transaction #8: On March 14, Mr. Gray invested an additional 3,200.00 into the
business. The entry would be similar to what we did in transaction #1, i.e. increase cash and
increase the capital account of the owner.
14 Cash 3,200.00
Mr. Gray, Capital 3,200.00
To record the additional investment of
Mr. Gray
Transaction #10: On March 17, the company collected from the customer in transaction
#8. We will record an increase in cash by debiting it. Then, we will credit accounts receivable
to decrease it. We are actually reducing the receivable since it has already been collected.
Transaction #11: On March 20, the company paid some of its liability in
transaction #6 by issuing a check. The company paid 500 of the 1,500
balance.
To record this transaction, we will debit Accounts Payable for $500 to decrease it by that
amount. Then, we will credit cash to decrease it as a result of the payment. The entry would
be:
Naturally, there is a decrease in Cash since the company paid Mr. Gray
7,000. And, we will increase/record withdrawals (Mr. Gray, Drawing) for the said amount.
Transaction # 13: On March 29, the company paid rent for March, 1,500.
Again, we will record the expense by debiting it and decrease cash by crediting it.
5 Cash 12,000.00
Loans Payable 12,000.00
To record bank loan.
Transaction #15: On March 31, the company paid salaries to its employees,
3,500.
