CHAPTER Learning OBJECTIVES

1. Prepare a worksheet. The steps in preparing a worksheet are: (a) Prepare a trial balance on the worksheet, (b) Enter the adjustments in the adjustments columns, (c) Enter adjusted balances in the adjusted trial balance columns, (d) Extend adjusted trial balance amounts to appropriate financial statement columns, and (e) Total the statement columns, compute net income (or net loss), and complete the worksheet.

2. Explain the process of closing the books. Closing the books occurs at the end of an accounting period. The process is to journalize and post closing entries and then rule and balance all accounts. In closing the books, companies make separate entries to close revenues and expenses to Income Summary, Income Summary to Retained Earnings, and Dividends to Retained Earnings. Only temporary accounts are closed.

3. Describe the content and purpose of a post-closing trial balance. A post-closing trial balance contains the balances in permanent accounts that are carried forward to the next accounting period. The purpose of this trial balance is to prove the equality of these balances.

4. State the required steps in the accounting cycle. The required steps in the accounting cycle are: (1) analyze business transactions, (2) journalize the transactions, (3) post to ledger accounts, (4) prepare a trial balance, (5) journalize and post adjusting entries, (6) prepare an adjusted trial balance, (7) prepare financial statements, (8) journalize and post closing entries, and (9) prepare a post-closing trial balance.

5. Explain the approaches to preparing correcting entries. One way to determine the correcting entry is to compare the incorrect entry with the correct entry. After comparison, the company makes a correcting entry to correct the accounts. An alternative to a correcting entry is to reverse the incorrect entry and then prepare the correct entry.

6. Identify the sections of a classified balance sheet. A classified balance sheet categorizes assets as current assets; long-term investments; property, plant, and equipment; and intangibles. Liabilities are classified as either current or long-term. There is also an owner's (owners’) equity section, which varies with the form of business organization.

^a 7. Prepare reversing entries. Reversing entries are the opposite of the adjusting entries made in the preceding period. Some companies choose to make reversing entries at the beginning of a new accounting period to simplify the recording of later transactions related to the adjusting entries. In most cases, only accrued adjusting entries are reversed.

SHORT-ANSWER ESSAY QUESTIONS

S-A E 231

A worksheet is an optional working tool used by accountants to facilitate the preparation of financial statements. Consider the steps followed in preparing a worksheet. How does the use of a worksheet assist the accountant. Could financial statements be prepared without a worksheet? Evaluate how the process would differ. Consider factors such as timeliness, accuracy, and efficiency in your evaluation.

Ans: N/A, LO: 1, Bloom: K, Difficulty: Easy, Min: 5, AACSB: None, AICPA BB: Industry/Sector Perspective, AICPA FN: Measurement, AICPA PC: Communication, IMA: FSA

Solution 231

The worksheet organizes the accountant's work in preparing the income statement and the balance sheet. The worksheet contains the general ledger trial balance, the adjusting entries, and an adjusted trial balance (if 10-column). The columns for these trial balances and entries allow the accountant to prove the equality of the debits and credits at each step of the process. From the adjusted trial balance the balance sheet and income statement amounts are obtained and entered in the appropriate columns.

Preparing financial statements without the use of a worksheet would be less organized and probably more prone to errors. And, if errors are made, they will probably be less easy to detect and locate, and, therefore, less efficient and more time consuming.

S-A E 232

Journalizing and posting closing entries is a required step in the accounting cycle. Discuss why it is necessary to close the books at the end of an accounting period. If closing entries were not made, how would the preparation of financial statements be affected?

Ans: N/A, LO: 2, Bloom: K, Difficulty: Easy, Min: 5, AACSB: None, AICPA BB: Legal/Regulatory, AICPA FN: Measurement, AICPA PC: Communication, IMA: Reporting

Solution 232

Closing entries are prepared to close the income statement accounts (the temporary accounts) of the current year in order to start the next year. Income statement (temporary) accounts are cumulative in nature but only for a year. The closing entries are what separate the accounting periods. The next year's accumulation of income statement data can begin once the accounts are cleared and the balances transferred through the closing entries to stockholders' equity.

Solution 233

Current assets are assets that a company expects to convert to cash or use up within one year or its operating cycle, whichever is longer. Examples of current assets include short-term investments, accounts receivable, and inventory. Current liabilities are obligations that the company is to pay within the current year. Examples of current liabilities are accounts payable, wages payable, and taxes payable.

A reversing entry is the exact opposite of an adjusting entry and is made at the beginning of the new accounting period. Reversing entries are an optional step in the accounting cycle.

S-A E 236 (Ethics)

Under Protection provides underground storage facilities for companies desiring off-site storage of sensitive documents, computer records, and other items. They have developed a sophisticated surveillance and security system which they initially used in their own facilities, and have recently started to market elsewhere as well.

The underground storage facilities are made from natural caves in some instances (reinforced and modified as appropriate) and from excavations of natural rock formations in others. The land was purchased over ten years ago for a total of $2.5 million. The modifications have cost approximately $15 million more. The company has never depreciated its storage facilities because the market value of the property has continued to rise. Presently, the market price is between $30 and $40 million.

Betsy Brantley, a new accounting manager, questioned this depreciation policy. Will Gray, the controller, has told him that he needn't worry about it. For one thing, he says, this is really a special form of Land account, which should not be depreciated at all. For another, this is a privately held company, and so they don't need to worry about misleading investors. All the owners know about and approve the depreciation policy.

What are the ethical issues in this situation?

Ans: N/A, LO: 5, Bloom: K, Difficulty: Easy, Min: 5, AACSB: Ethics, AICPA BB: Industry/Sector Perspective, AICPA FN: Measurement, AICPA PC: Communication, IMA: Business Economics

Solution 236

The ethical issue is one of integrity. Even though the storage facilities are underground, that does not mean that they can be accounted for simply as land. The structural improvements and surveillance mechanisms will not last forever, and therefore their cost should be allocated over the periods that are benefited. Net income is being overstated because the depreciation expense, at zero, is being understated.

A second issue is the harm that may be incurred by outside parties because of the misrepresentation in the financial statements. Even though the owners know about the (lack of) depreciation, they may still use their financial statements to obtain loans. Private investors and bankers should be able to rely on the financial statements.

A third issue is that of the integrity of the accountants themselves. If they are being asked to ignore a basic principle of accounting so openly now, they should certainly ask themselves what lies ahead.

You have recently started to work for Storry Malcom, manufacturers of cemetery markers and monuments. During your first month at work, you inadvertently recorded as revenue, about $4,000 of prepayments from Budger Company. The financial statements had been released within the company when you discovered your error. The month-end closing had not been completed, however, and you were able to correct the accounts without incident.

Required:

Prepare a short note to accompany the re-released financial statements explaining the mistake.

RE: Month-End Reports

****ATTACHED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS REPLACE THOSE ISSUED JULY 5****

*****DESTROY ALL EARLIER COPIES OF JUNE 30 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS****

An error was made in the recording of Budger Company's prepayment. The entire $4,000 was recorded as revenue. Since Budger's order had not been completed or shipped, it should have been recorded as unearned revenue, which is a liability. Note that net income is reduced to only $xxxxx as a result of this change.

If you have sent any of your summary reports to corporate headquarters, please contact the Accounting Department immediately for correction codes.

I am sincerely sorry for any inconvenience or delays caused by this error.
