INFORMATION SHEET 1.1-1
Accounting and Its Environment

Learning Objective:
After reading this information sheet, the student must be able
to define and understand the meaning of accounting, bookkeeping and
business; identify and describe the types of business organizations and the
activities performed by each organization.

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.

FORMS OF BUSINESS ORGANIZATIONS


 Sole Proprietorship. This has a single owner called the proprietor.
This tends to be small service-type businesses and retail
establishments. The owner receives all profits, absorbs all losses
and is solely responsible for all debts of the business.
 Partnership. It is a business owned and operated by two or more
persons who bind themselves to contribute money, property or
industry to a common fund, with the intention of dividing the
profits themselves.
 Corporation. It is an artificial being created by operation of law,
having the rights of succession and the powers, attributes and
properties expressly authorized by law or incident to its existence.

ACTIVITIES PERFORMED BY BUSINESS ORGANIZATIONS


 Service companies performed service for a fee (e.g. law firms,
accounting and audit firms, stock brokerage, beauty salons and
recruitment agencies).

 Merchandising companies purchase goods that are ready for sale
and then sell these to customers.
 Manufacturing companies buy raw materials, convert them into
products and then sell the products to other companies or to final
consumers.

FUNDAMENTAL CONCEPTS

 Entity Concept. It is the most basic concept in accounting. An


accounting entity is an organization or a section of an organization
that stands apart from other organizations and individuals as a
separate economic unit.
 Periodicity Concept. An entity’s life can be meaningfully
subdivided into equal time periods for reporting purposes. This
concept allows the users to obtain timely information to serve as a
basis on making decisions about future activities.
 Stable Monetary Unit Concept . The Philippine Peso is a reasonable
unit of measure and that its purchasing power is relatively stable.

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.

 Consistency Principle. The firms should use the same accounting
method from period to period to achieve comparability over time
within a single enterprise.

SPECIALIZED ACCOUNTING SERVICES


 Auditing. Is the independent examination that ensures the
fairness and reliability of the reports that management submits to
users outside the business entity.
 Cost Accounting. Deals with the collection, allocation and control
of the cost of producing specific goods and services.
 Financial Accounting. Is focused on the recording of business
transactions and the periodic preparation of reports on financial
position and results of operations. Financial accountants accord
importance to generally accepted accounting principles.
 Internal Auditing. Is concerned with the examination of the
information system, records and operations of the entity to ensure
the effectiveness and efficiency of operations and the integrity of
records.
 Government Accounting. Is concerned with the identification of the
sources and uses of resources consistent with the provisions of
city, municipal, provincial and national laws.
 Tax Accounting. Includes the preparation of tax returns and the
consideration of the tax consequences of proposed business
transactions or alternative courses of action.
 Management Consulting. Is the catchall term that describes the
wide scope of advice CPAs provide to the business. Services
provided include advice on mergers and takeovers, installation or
modification of accounting systems, financial planning models,
inventory control systems.
 International Accounting. Addresses the special problems
associated with the international trade of multinational business
organizations.

USERS AND THEIR INFORMATION NEEDS

 Investors. They need information to help them determine whether


they should buy, hold or sell. Stockholders are also interested in
information which enables them to assess the ability of the
enterprise to pay dividends.
 Employees. They are interested in information which enables them
to assess the ability of the enterprise to provide remuneration,
retirement benefits and employment opportunities.

 Lenders. They are interested in information which enables them
to determine whether their loans and interest thereon will be paid
when due.
 Suppliers and other trade creditors. These users are interested in
information which enables them to determine whether amounts
owing to them will be paid on maturity.
 Customers. Customers have an interest in information about the
continuance of an enterprise especially when they have a long-term
involvement with or are dependent on the enterprise.
 Government and their agencies. These users require information
to regulate the activities of the enterprise, determine taxation
policies and as a basis for national income and similar statistics.
 Public. Financial statements may assist the public by providing
information about the trends and recent developments in the
prosperity of the enterprise and the range of its activities.

INFORMATION SHEET 1.1-2
TYPICAL ACCOUNT TITLES USED

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

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.

sheet date; or
c. is cash or a cash equivalent asset which is not restricted in its

Examples:
1. Cash – Is any medium of exchange that a bank will accept
for deposit at face value. It includes coins, currency, checks,

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.

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.

Non-current Asset
- all other assets not under the current asset
should be classified to non-current assets.
Examples:
1. Property, Plant and Equipment – these are tangible assets

supply of goods or services, or for rental to others, or for
administrative purposes and which are expected to be used
during more than one period.
2. Accumulated Depreciation – It is a contra account that
contains the sum of the periodic depreciation charges. The
balance of this account is deducted from the cost of the
related asset to obtain book value.
3. Intangible Assets – these are identifiable, non-monetary

production or supply of goods or services, for rental to
others, or for administrative purposes. These include
goodwill, patents, copyrights, licenses, franchises,

goods or services, the buyer agrees to pay for them in the
near future.
2. Notes Payable – This is like a note receivable but in a
reverse sense, the business entity is the maker of the note;
that is, the entity is the party who promises to pay the other
party a specified amount of money on a specified future date.
3. Accrued Liabilities – Amounts owed to others for unpaid
expenses. This account includes, salaries payable, utilities
payable, interest payable and taxes payable.

III. Owner’s Equity – Is the residual interest in the assets of the


enterprise after deducting all its liabilities.

 Capital – This account is used to record the original and additional


investments of the owner of the business entity. It is increased by the

business ultimately decrease it. This account title bears the name of
the owner.
 Withdrawals – When the owner of a business entity withdraws cash
or other assets, such are recorded in the drawing or withdrawal
account rather than directly reducing the owner’s equity account.
 Income Summary – it is a temporary account used at the end of the
accounting period to close income and expenses. This account shows

account.

INFORMATION SHEET 1.1-3
INTRODUCTION TO CHART OF ACCOUNTS

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.

Chart of accounts is a listing of all the accounts in the general ledger,


each account accompanied by a reference number. To set up a chart of
accounts, one first needs to define the various accounts to be used by the
business. Each account should have a number to identify it. For very small
businesses, three digits may suffice for the account number, though more
digits are highly desirable in order to allow for new accounts to be added as
the business grows. With more digits, new accounts can be added while
maintaining the logical order. Complex businesses may have thousands of
accounts and require longer account reference numbers. It is worthwhile to
put thought into assigning the account numbers in a logical way, and to
follow any specific industry standards. An example of how the digits might
be coded is shown in this list:

Account Numbering

By separating each account by several numbers, many new accounts can be
added between any two while maintaining the logical order.

Defining Accounts

Different types of businesses will have different accounts. For example, to


report the cost of goods sold a manufacturing business will have accounts
for its various manufacturing costs whereas a retailer will have accounts for
the purchase of its stock merchandise. Many industry associations publish
recommended charts of accounts for their respective industries in order to
establish a consistent standard of comparison among firms in their
industry. Accounting software packages often come with a selection of
predefined account charts for various types of businesses.

There is a trade-off between simplicity and the ability to make historical


comparisons. Initially keeping the number of accounts to a minimum has
the advantage of making the accounting system simple. Starting with a
small number of accounts, as certain accounts acquired significant balances
they would be split into smaller, more specific accounts. However, following
this strategy makes it more difficult to generate consistent historical
comparisons. For example, if the accounting system is set up with a
miscellaneous expense account that later is broken into more detailed
accounts, it then would be difficult to compare those detailed expenses with
past expenses of the same type. In this respect, there is an advantage in
organizing the chart of accounts with a higher initial level of detail.

Some accounts must be included due to tax reporting requirements. For


example, in the U.S. the IRS requires that travel, entertainment, advertising,
and several other expenses be tracked in individual accounts. One should
check the appropriate tax regulations and generate a complete list of such
required accounts.

Other accounts should be set up according to vendor. If the business has


more than one checking account, for example, the chart of accounts might
include an account for each of them.

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.

How to Set Up a Chart of Accounts

Set up a chart of accounts as one of the first steps in beginning a


new  business. A chart of accounts is the listing of all the accounts in
a general ledger, and it usually includes reference numbers to help
classify the accounts by type. The chart organizes and tracks all of
the business activities and makes it possible to generate reports in a
logical sequence to track the financial history and progress of the
business. Here's how to set up a basic chart of accounts.

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

Cary P. Jaucian
(amounts due to be paid later than one business year). Assign
sequential numbers to these accounts from 2000 to 2999.
4. Classify each equity account with a unique name. These include
common stock, paid-in capital and retained earnings (if the business
is a corporation) partner distributions and partners' equity (if it's a
partnership), and members' equity (if it's an LLC). Assign sequential
numbers to these accounts from 3000 to 3999.
5. Assign unique names to each revenue account, such as sales,
commission income, rent income and other income. Assign account
numbers from 4000 to 4999 to these accounts. Revenue accounts
track all the income the business brings in during the year.
6. Determine all of the costs of doing business within one business year.
These are the expenses of the business, and they are segregated
according how they are related to the production of income. For
example, cost of goods sold accounts relate to manufacturing
products, producing services and purchasing inventory. Number these
accounts from 5000 to 5999. General expenses, including office
expenses, advertising, accounting and legal expenses get numbers
from 6000 to 6999, and wages and payroll expenses get numbers from
7000 to 7999.
7. Segregate any revenue and expenses which are not part of the normal
course of the company's main business. This category might include
Income from such activities as interest income from notes receivable
or gain or loss from the sale of business assets. Similarly, there may
be expenses that are not related to the production of the company's
products or services, such as income tax expense or mortgage
expense. Number these accounts 8000 to 8999.

INFORMATION SHEET 1.2-1
ACCOUNTING SOURCE DOCUMENTS

Learning Objective:
After reading this information sheet, the student must be able
to identify and describe various accounting source documents and define its
uses.

What are source documents in accounting?

Source documents is an accounting terms to describe the original


records that contain the details that substantiate the financial transactions
that are entered into the internal accounting system of a business. Typical
source documents include sales invoices, cash receipts, cash register slip,
credit notes and deposit slip. Source documents provide the documentary
evidence of a business deal or accounting event and are a critical part of an
audit trail that establishes the authenticity and tracking history of an
accounting system's financial records.

'Source documents' in accounting


Background to 'source documents' in accounting.
All manufacturing systems are identified by their three key elements:
inputs, processes and outputs. Accounting manufactures outputs in the
form of financial statement and financial reports for business decision
makers. It engages a process known as the double-entry bookkeeping
system to accurately capture and categorize inputs so that they can produce
meaningful reports. The accounting process relies on inputs in the form of
data taken from source documents that are generated whenever financial
transactions occur.

Accounting Information System


So, source documents then are the essential inputs that provide the
details required by internal accounting systems. They also assist in the
internal control of the resources of the business. Source documents ensure
that there is documentary evidence to support the purchase or sale of items
of value and the receipt and payment of money. Source documents provide
the evidence or proof that a transaction has actually occurred which makes
it difficult for people to misappropriate or steal cash or other resource items
from the business. These source documents are also required by both
company and tax auditors.

CBLM on Document No. 2013 - 001


Bookkeeping NC III Date Developed: Issued by:

Journalizing ACLC - Tacloban
Transactions Developed by: Revision # 00
Cary P. Jaucian
The details from the source document should be recorded in the
appropriate accounting journal as soon as possible after the transaction has
occurred. After recording, all source documents should be filed away in a
document system where they can be retrieved at a later date if required.
Government tax law requires that these source documents are kept for a
number of years (typically from 3-7years depending on the country). In the
event of an audit, these source documents should support the data recorded
in the accounting journals and the general ledger by providing an
indisputable audit trail from source documents to journals to general ledger
to trial balance to financial statement.

In summary then, accounting source documents are required for:


1. Providing details of transactions to input into the internal accounting
system on a month-to-month basis
2. Providing evidence of the transactions recorded in the accounting
system in the event of a end-of-year financial audit
3. Satisfying the requirements of the tax law in regard to proof of income
and expenditure.

Information contained in a source document


A source document should describe all the key aspects of the transaction
such as:
 the names and addresses of the entity buying/selling the
good/services
 the date when the transaction occurred
 the amount of the transaction
 the amount of any taxes
 the nature and purpose of the transaction (i.e. descriptions)
 the special terms and conditions of the transaction (i.e. discount,
payment and delivery details)
 authorized signature for payment or acceptance of goods/services

Common source documents


Source documents are generally related to the particular activity as shown
in the table below:

Information Sheet 1.2-2
Rules on Debit and Credit

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.

First, let us recall the definition of an "account". An account is a


storage unit that stores similar items or transactions.

Examples of accounts are: Cash, Accounts Receivable, Office


Equipment, Accounts Payable, Service Income, Rent Expense, and so on.
Let's take Cash, for instance. The Cash account stores all transactions that
involve cash, i.e. cash receipts and cash disbursements.

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.

Asset accounts normally have debit balances, while liabilities and


capital normally have credit balances. Income, since it increases capital has
a normal credit balance. On the other hand, expenses have normal debit
balance since they decrease capital. Withdrawals also have a normal debit
balance.

Now what is the significance of the "normal balance"?

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

Cary P. Jaucian
decrease an asset, you credit it. To increase liability and capital accounts,
credit. To decrease them, debit.

For Example

Let us take Cash. Cash is an asset account. Again, asset accounts


normally have debit balances. Therefore, to increase Cash you debit it. To
decrease Cash, you credit it.

For another example, let's take Accounts Payable. It is a liability


account. Liability accounts normally have credit balances. Thus, if you want
to increase Accounts Payable, you credit it. If you want to decrease Accounts
Payable, you debit it.

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.

Answers: 1. Debit; 2. Credit; 3. Debit; 4. Debit; 5. Credit; 6. Credit; 7. Debit;


8. 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.

Information Sheet 1.2-3

Introduction to Transaction Analysis: The Basic Accounting


Equation

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.

Accounting is built upon the fundamental accounting equation:

Assets = Liabilities + Owner’s Equity

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.

The equation’s three parts are explained as follows:

1. Assets = what the business has or owns (equipment, supplies, cash,


accounts receivable)
2. Liabilities = what the business owes outsiders (bank loan, accounts
payable)
3. Owner’s Equity = what the owner owns (investment and business
profit)

The Accounting Equation

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.

2. The business owes the owner for any money or other assets that the
owner invests in the business
3. The business also owes the owner the profit that is realized from
business operations.

The accounting equation can be expressed in 3 ways:

Assets = Liabilities + Owners’ Equity


Liabilities = Assets – Owners’ Equity
Owners’ Equity = Assets – Liabilities

If you know any two of the amounts you can calculate the third.

Business Transactions occur on a daily basis as a result of doing


business. Items are purchased or sold, credit is extended or borrowed,
income is made or expenses are assumed. These business transactions
result in changes to the three elements of the basic accounting equation.

1. A transaction that increases total assets must also increase total


liabilities or owner’s equity.
2. A transaction that decreases total assets must also decrease total
liabilities or owner’s equity.
3. Some transactions may increase one account and decrease another on the same side of
the equation i.e. one asset increases and another decreases.

Assets = Liabilities + Owner’s Equity


+ +  
+   +
- -  
-   -
+ and -    

Regardless of the nature of the specific transaction, the accounting


equation must stay in balance at all times.

Transaction Analysis is the process of reconciling the differences made to


each side of the equation with each financial transaction occurs. Let’s look
at some sample transactions to get a better understanding of how the
analysis and equation work.

The accounting equation for a brand new company will look like this:

Assets = Liabilities + Owner’s Equity

Php 0        Php0                 Php0

Transaction 1: The owner deposits Php5000 in the checking account to


begin operations

Assets = Liabilities + Owner’s Equity

+ Php5000       Php 0                + Php 5000

The asset “Cash” is increased by $5000 and the Owner’s Equity is increased
Php 5000. The business owes the owner Php 5000.

Transaction 2: The business purchases a computer, on credit, for Php 2500.

Assets = Liabilities + Owner’s Equity

+ Php 2500     + Php 2500            Php

The asset “Computers” is increased by Php2500 and the liability is also


increased Php2500 because the business now owns the store Php2500.

Transaction 3: The business purchases office supplies using Php550 cash.

Assets = Liabilities + Owner’s Equity

+ Php550
- Php550

The asset “Office Supplies” is increased Php550 and the asset “Cash” is
decreased Php550.

Transaction 4: A business purchases a building for Php100, 000 with a


Php25,000 cash down-payment and a loan for the Php75,000 outstanding.

Assets = Liabilities + Owner’s Equity

Transactions Developed by: Revision # 00
Cary P. Jaucian
+ Php100,000  +75,000
- Php 25,000

More than two accounts are affected by this transaction. The asset


“Building” increases by Php100, 000, the asset “Cash” decreases by
Php25,000, and the liability “Bank Loan” increases by Php75,000. The net
result is that both sides of the equation increase by Php75K.

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.

Revenues = what the business earns for providing goods or services


Expenses = the cost of assets the business uses to generate revenues
(payroll, depreciation, rent, utilities, taxes)

The business’ Profit or Loss equals the Revenues – Expenses. If Revenues


are more than Expenses, there is Profit. If Expenses are more than
Revenues, there is Loss. The owner of the company also has the option to
withdraw equity from the company in the form of drawings (proprietorships
and partnerships) or dividends (corporations).

When you look at these relationships to Owner’s Equity in terms of the


accounting equation you see that

1. Revenues increase Owner’s Equity


2. Expenses decrease Owner’s Equity
3. Drawings or Dividends decrease Owner’s Equity:

The expanded Accounting Equation looks like this:

Assets = Liabilities + Owner’s Equity + Revenues – Expenses – Drawings

Let’s analyze some transactions involving these types of accounts:

Transaction 5: The business sells goods for Php1,200 cash.

Assets = Liabilities + Owner’s Equity

Transactions Developed by: Revision # 00
Cary P. Jaucian
+ Php1200                               + Php1200 (Revenue)

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.

Assets = Liabilities + Owner’s Equity

- Php950                                  - Php950 (Expense)

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.

Assets = Liabilities + Owner’s Equity

- Php 1200                             - Php1200 (Revenue)

The asset “Cash” is decreased Php2000 and the drawing decreases Owner’s
Equity Php2000.

  The accounting cycle is the sequence of procedures used to keep


track of what has happened in the business and to report the financial effect
of those things. The financial reports will only make sense if the accounts
have been analyzed correctly and the accounting equation remains
balanced. This is the fundamental building block of accounting and you
must learn and apply transaction analysis before continuing further.

Journalizing of Proprietor Account Titles

Learning Objective:
After reading this information sheet, the student must be able
to prepare Journal Entries according to the generally accepted accounting
principles.

After analyzing and preparing the business documents, the


transactions are then recorded in the journal. In double-entry accounting,
transactions are recorded in the journal through journal entries.

The journal, also known as Books of Original Entry, keeps records of


transactions in chronological order. In other words, transactions are
recorded in the journal as they occur, one after the other.

A simple journal looks like this:

Date
Particulars Debit Credit
yyyy
mmm dd Account debited amount
      Account credited amount
 
  dd Account debited amount
      Account credited amount

A column for posting reference or folio may also be included to


facilitate easier tracking and cross-referencing within the accounting
system. Also, an explanation of the transaction being recorded may be included below
the row for account credited. The journal would then look like this:

Date
Particulars PR Debit Credit
yyyy
mmmddAccount debited ref. # amount
      Account credited ref. # amount
Explanation or annotation.

A Simple Illustration

Let's try to prepare a journal entry for this transaction: On June 3,


2013, our company purchased computer equipment for its main office and
paid 1,200.00 in cash.

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.

The journal entry would be:

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.

To increase an asset account, you debit it. Hence, we are debiting


Computer Equipment. Cash is also an asset account. However, there is a
decrease in cash because we paid for the computer equipment. Therefore,
we credit Cash.

Easy, right? No? Don't worry; it does require a little practice and some
exposure.

Compound Journal Entries

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 would be:

Date

2013
Jun 3 Computer Equipment 1,200.00
      Cash   800.00
      Accounts Payable   400.00
To record purchase of computer equipment.   

The journal entry shows that the company received computer equipment
worth 1,200. Cash is decreased by 800, the amount paid.

In addition, the company incurred in an obligation to pay 400 after 30


days. The liabilities of the company increased. When we increase liabilities,
we credit it. That is why we credited Accounts Payable (a liability account) in
the above entry.

Notice that the total amount debited is equal to the total amount
credited.

`For additional practice and exposure in journalizing transactions, here are


some more examples of business transactions and their journal entries.

The transactions pertain to Gray Specialized Repairs and Installation, our


imaginary small sole proprietorship business. All transactions are assumed
and simplified for illustration purposes.

Transaction #1: On March 1, 2013, Mr. Donald Gray started an installation


and repair business for specific types of equipment by investing 10,000.

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

Transaction #2: On March 5, Gray Specialized Repairs and Installation paid


registration and licensing fees for the business, 370.

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.

  5 Taxes and Licenses 370.00 
      Cash   370.00
To record the payment of registration
and licensing fees

Transaction #3: On March 6, the company acquired tables, chairs, shelves,


and other fixtures for a total of 3,000. The entire amount was paid in cash.

There is an increase in an asset account (Furniture and Fixtures) in exchange for a decrease in
another asset (Cash).

  6 Furniture and Fixtures 3,000.00 


      Cash   3,000.00
To record the purchase of tables,
chairs, shelves and other fixtures

Transaction #4: On March 7, the company acquired service equipment at


16,000. The company paid a 50% down payment and the balance will be
paid after 60 days.

This will result in a compound journal entry. There is an increase in an


asset account (debit Service Equipment, 16,000), a decrease in another
asset (credit Cash, 8,000 – the amount paid), and an increase in a liability
account (credit Accounts Payable, 8,000 – the balance to be paid after 60 days).

  7 Service Equipment 16,000.00 


      Cash   8,000.00
      Accounts Payable   8,000.00
To record the purchase of service
equipment paying 50% down payment

Transaction #5: Also on March 7, Gray Specialized Repairs and Installation


purchased service supplies on account amounting to 1,500.

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.

  7 Service Supplies 1,500.00 


      Accounts Payable   1,500.00
To record the purchase of service
supplies on account

Transaction #6: On March 9, 2013, the company received 1,900 for services
rendered. We will then record an increase in cash (debit the cash account) and an increase in
income (credit the income account).

  9 Cash 1,900.00
      Service Revenue 1,900.00
To record the receipt of cash of for
services rendered

Transaction #7: On March 12, the company rendered services on account,


1,650.00. As per agreement with the customer, the amount is to be collected
after 5 days. Under the accrual basis of accounting, income is recorded when
earned.

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.

  12 Accounts Receivable 1,650.00  


      Service Revenue   1,650.00
To record the collectible account from
services rendered.

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 #9: Rendered services to a big corporation on March 15. As per


agreement, the 3,400 amount due will be collected after 30 days.

  15 Accounts Receivable 3,400.00  


      Service Revenue   3,400.00
To record the collectible account for
services performed.

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.

      Accounts Receivable   1,650.00
To record the collection of account in
#8.

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:

  20 Accounts Payable 500.00  


      Cash   500.00
TO record the partial payment of
account in #6.

The balance of the accounts payable in transaction number #6 would now be


1,000 credit (1,500 initial credit and now a 500 debit).

Transaction #12: On March 25, the owner withdrew cash due to an


emergency need. Mr. Gray withdrew 7,000 from the company.

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.

  25 Mr. Gray, Drawings 7,000.00  


      Cash   7,000.00
To record withdrawal of cash by Mr.
Gray

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.

  29 Rent Expense 1,500.00  


      Cash   1,500.00
To record the payment of rent for
March.

Transaction #14: On March 30, the company acquired a 12,000 short-term


bank loan; the entire amount plus a 10% interest is payable after 1 year.

a liability (Loans Payable). We increase it by crediting the liability account.

  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.

For this transaction, we will record/increase the expense account by


debiting it and decrease cash by crediting it. (Note: This is a simplified entry
to present the payment of salaries. In actual practice, different payroll
accounting methods are applied.)

Accounting for Special Journals

After reading this information sheet, the student must be able
to prepare Special Journal Entries according to the generally accepted
accounting principles.

Entering transactions in the general journal and posting them to the


correct general ledger accounts is time consuming. In the general journal, a
simple transaction requires three lines—two to list the accounts and one to
describe the transaction. The transaction must then be posted to each
general ledger account. If the transaction affects a control account, the
posting must be done twice—once to the subsidiary ledger account and once
to the controlling general ledger account. To speed up this process,
companies use special journals to record repetitive transactions that affect
the same set of accounts and have a consistent description. Such
transactions can be documented on one line in a special journal. Then,
instead of separately posting individual entries, each column's total is
posted at the end of the accounting period.

Although companies create special journals for other types of


repetitive transactions, almost all merchandising companies use special
journals for sales, purchases, cash receipts, and cash disbursements.

Sales journal. The sales journal lists all credit sales made to customers.
Sales returns and cash sales are not recorded in this journal. Entries in the
sales journal typically include the date, invoice number, customer name,
and amount. Invoices are the source documents that provide this
information. In its most basic form, a sales journal has only one column for

recording transaction amounts. Each entry increases (debits) accounts
receivable and increases (credits) sales.

Notice the dates and posting references applied to each entry in the
illustration to the right. Each day, individual sales journal entries are posted
to the accounts receivable subsidiary ledger accounts so that customer
balances remain current. Customer account numbers (or check marks if
customer accounts are simply kept in alphabetical order) are placed in the
sales journal's reference column to indicate that the entries have been
posted. At the end of the accounting period, the column total is posted to
the accounts receivable and sales accounts in the general ledger. Account
numbers are placed in parentheses below the column to indicate that the
total has been posted.

Many companies use a multi-column (columnar) sales journal that


provides separate columns for specific sales accounts and for sales tax
payable. Each line in a multi‐column journal must contain equal debits and
credits. For example, the entries in the sales journal to the right appear
below in a multi‐column sales journal that tracks hardware sales, plumbing
sales, wire sales, and sales tax payable. Individual entries are still posted
daily to the accounts receivable subsidiary ledger accounts, and each
column total is posted at the end of the accounting period to the appropriate
general ledger account.

Purchases journal. The purchases journal lists all credit purchases of


merchandise. Entries in this journal usually include the date of the entry,
the name of the supplier, and the amount of the transaction. Some
companies include columns to identify the invoice date and credit terms,

thereby making the purchases journal a tool that helps the companies take
advantage of discounts just before they expire. The purchases journal to the
right has only one column for recording transaction amounts. Each entry
increases (debits) purchases and increases (credits) accounts payable.

Each day, individual entries are posted to the accounts payable


subsidiary ledger accounts. Creditor account numbers (or check marks if
the creditor accounts are not numbered) are placed in the purchases
journal's reference column to indicate that the entries have been posted. At
the end of the accounting period, the column total is posted to purchases
and accounts payable in the general ledger. Account numbers are placed in
parentheses below the column to indicate that the total has been posted.

Companies that frequently make credit purchases of items other than


merchandise use a multi‐column purchases journal. For example, the
purchases journal below includes columns for supplies and equipment. Of
course, every purchase in the journal below must credit accounts payable;
equipment purchased with a note payable or supplies purchased with cash
would not be recorded in this journal. Individual entries are still posted daily
to the accounts payable subsidiary ledger accounts, and each column total
is posted at the end of the accounting period to the appropriate general
ledger account.

Cash receipts journal. Transactions that increase cash are recorded in a
multi-column cash receipts journal. If sales discounts are offered to
customers, the journal includes a separate debit column for sales discounts.
Credit columns for accounts receivable and for sales are normally present,
but companies that frequently receive cash from other, specific sources use
additional columns to record those types of cash receipts. In addition, the
cash receipts journal includes a column named Other, which is used to
record various types of cash receipts that occur infrequently and therefore
do not warrant a separate column. For example, cash receipts from capital
investments, bank loans, and interest revenues are generally recorded in the
Other column. However, a company that provides consumer loans and
receives interest payments from many customers would probably include a
separate column for interest revenue. Whenever a credit entry affects
accounts receivable or appears in the Other column, the specific account is
identified in the column named Account.

Accounts receivable payments are posted daily to the individual
subsidiary ledger accounts, and customer account numbers (or check
marks if the customer accounts are not numbered) are placed in the cash
receipts journal's reference column. At the end of the accounting period,
each column total is posted to the general ledger account listed at the top of
the column, and the account number is placed in parentheses below the
total. Entries in the Other column are posted individually to the general
ledger accounts affected, and the account numbers are placed in the cash
receipts journal's reference column. A capital X is placed below the Other
column to indicate that the column total cannot be posted to a general
ledger account.

Cash disbursements journal. Transactions that decrease cash are recorded
in the cash disbursements journal. The cash disbursements journal to the
right has one debit column for accounts payable and another debit column
for all other types of cash payment transactions. It has credit columns for
purchases discounts and for cash. Since each entry debits a control account
(accounts payable) or an account listed in the column named Other, the
specific account being debited must be identified on every line.

The nature of each company's transactions determines which columns


this journal includes. For example, companies sometimes choose to include
separate debit columns for regularly used accounts such as salaries
expense, sales commissions expense, or other specific accounts affected by
cash disbursements.

Entries that affect accounts payable are posted daily to the individual
subsidiary ledger accounts, and creditor account numbers (or check marks
if the creditor accounts are not numbered) are placed in the cash
disbursements journal's reference column. At the end of the accounting
period, each column total is posted to the general ledger account listed at
the top of the column, and the account number is placed in parentheses
below the total. Entries in the Other column are posted individually to the
general ledger accounts affected, and the account numbers are placed in the
cash disbursements journal's reference column. A capital Xis placed below
the Other column to indicate that the column total cannot be posted to a
general ledger account.

General journal entries. The general journal is used for adjusting entries,
closing entries, correcting entries, and all transactions that do not belong in
one of the special journals. If a general journal entry involves an account in
a subsidiary ledger, the transaction must be posted to both the general
ledger control account and the subsidiary ledger account. Both account
numbers are placed in the general journal's reference column to indicate
that the entry has been posted correctly.
