Scenario: Agila Merchandising, owned by Lito Agila, sells ready-to-wear shirts and dresses to its customers.
It started its operations on January 1, 2016. The company issues the following documents:
For the month of January 2016, the special journals of Agila are shown below:

In addition to the above special journals, the company maintains a general journal. The General Journal

Additional Information:
• The delivery vehicle purchased in January 2, 2016 is estimated to be useful for 10 years with no residual
or salvage value.
• A physical count of merchandise inventory was conducted on January 30, 2016. The cost of the inventory
on hand was PHP438,700.
• On January 30, 2016, Agila received a statement of account from Gus Oil Center reflecting a total bill of
PHP2,180, representing fuel purchases on January 2016 that were still unpaid as of the said date.

Step 6 – Prepare Adjusting Entries. Recall in Chapter 11, the five basic sources of adjusting entries:
1. Depreciation expense
2. Deferred expenses or prepaid expenses
3. Deferred income or unearned Income
4. Accrued expenses or accrued liabilities
5. Accrued income or accrued assets

• Deferred or Prepaid Expenses
In the cash disbursement journal, the rental payment made on January 2, 2016 is for the month of
January and February 2016 amounting to PHP10,000. The entire amount was charged to rental expense
which is not proper because one half (1/2) of the said payment is considered as an advance payment of
rental. Thus, an asset should be recognized. The adjusting entry is:
To Note: With this entry, the correct rental expense of PHP5,000 and a prepaid expense of PHP5,000 ( an asset account) are
recognized.
• Accrued Expenses
On January 30, 2016, fuel expenses incurred amounting to PHP2,180 should be recorded as an
expenses and liability. The entry to adjust is:

Step 7 - Preparation of Financial Statements. The first statement prepared is the income statement. All
income statement accounts are extended to the appropriate column. Using the periodic inventory system,
the beginning balance of merchandise inventory account is also extended to the debit side, while the result
of the physical count to determine the ending inventory is reflected on the credit side. The total debit and
total credit are determined and if credit balance is higher than the debit side, the difference is added to the
debit side. The difference is actually the income for the period. However, if the total debit side exceeds the
total credit side, the difference is added to the credit side and this is the net loss of the business. The
statement of financial position is then prepared. All assets, liabilities and equity accounts are extended.
The ending merchandise inventory is extended to the debit side.
The worksheet for these two financial statements are presented below:
The proper format of the income statement and the schedule of cost goods sold of Agila for January 2016
are presented below:

To Note: Merchandise Inventory, Ending is established by conducting a physical count at the end of the reporting date. In the
periodic inventory system, physical count is a must.
Step 8 – Closing Entries. The closing journal entries consist of the following:
• All of the nominal revenue accounts should be closed to the income summary account by a Debit to
revenue and credit to income summary.
9
• All of the nominal expense and cost of goods sold accounts should be closed to the income summary by a
Credit to expense and a debit to income summary.
• The Merchandise Inventory, Beginning is closed to Income summary account by a debit to Income
Summary and a credit to Merchandise Inventory.
• The Merchandise Inventory, Ending is set up in the books by a debit to Merchandise Inventory, Ending
and a credit to Income Summary. The amount that will be used is the result of the physical count.
• The balance in the income summary account should now reflect the net income for the accounting
period. The next journal entry should close the income summary account to the equity or capital account.
If there is a net profit this entry will be a debit to income summary and a credit to owner’s capital account.
Once the closing journal entries have been entered into the general journal, the information should
be posted to the general ledger. When this is accomplished, all of the nominal accounts in the general
ledger should have zero balances. To double check on this, we prepare another trial balance based on the
new balances in the general ledger. If we have any nominal accounts with positive balances, a mistake was
made along the way and will need to be corrected before proceeding to the next accounting period.
To Note: No closing entry was made for the Merchandise Inventory, Beginning because it was the first month of operations
and the inventory beginning has zero value.
After these entries, the income summary account has a balance of:
10
The last closing entry is to close the balance of income summary to the capital account:
To Note:
- The net credit balance of the income summary is equal to the net income as computed.
- The net income will result to an increase in capital of the owner.
