Financial Statements
Questions
1. Businesses that have major seasonal variations in sales are most likely to select the
natural business year as the fiscal year.
2. The cash basis reports revenues when cash is received while the accrual basis reports
revenues when they are earned. The cash basis reports expenses when cash is paid
while the accrual basis reports expenses when economic benefits are consumed.
3. The accrual basis of accounting generally provides a better indication of enterprise
performance than does the cash basis. Also, accrual accounting increases the
comparability of the financial statements from one period to another.
4. A prepaid expense is reported as an asset on the balance sheet.
5. Capital assets lead to adjustments for amortization.
6. The accumulated amortization contra account is used. It is used to provide statement
users with additional information about the relative age of the assets. Without the
contra account information, the reader would not be able to tell whether the assets are
new or in need of replacement.
7. An unearned revenue is reported as a liability on the balance sheet.
8. An accrued revenue is a revenue that is not recorded until end-of-period adjustments
are made because cash is not received or the customer is not billed prior to the end of
the period. An example is interest income that has been earned but not collected.
9. For Danier Leather, Capital assets require adjustment for amortization. Amortization
expense would be understated on the income statement if Danier fails to adjust this
asset account resulting in net income being overstated.
10. The amortization recorded during the year equals the amortization of $106,624,000
shown on WestJet’s income statement for the year-ended December 31, 2005.
*11. If prepaid expenses are initially recorded with debits to expense accounts, asset
accounts are debited in the adjusting entries.

Analysis component:
If the adjustments in (a) through (d) were not recorded, assets and equity would
be overstated on the balance sheet and on the income statement, expenses would
be understated causing net income to be overstated.
Analysis component:
The recording of amortization achieves the GAAP of matching. When an asset
such as a machine is purchased, it will help generate revenues for more than the
current accounting period. Therefore, to properly match the expense of the
machine, we allocate a portion of the total cost to each accounting period in which
revenue will be generated by the machine; this process is called amortization. If
we expensed the total cost of the machine in the period in which it was purchased,
expenses would be overstated in the period the machine was purchased and
understated in future periods in which the machine was used in the operations of
the business.
Analysis component:
If the Unearned lawn services of $112,500 had been recorded as a revenue when
received instead of as a liability with no adjustments being recorded at year end,
revenues for the 2011 accounting period would have been overstated by $66,000
(because this amount represents services to be performed during 2012). On the
November 30, 2011 balance sheet, this error would have resulted in liabilities
being understated by $66,000 and equity overstated by $66,000.

The business’s financial performance, or net income, increased from a net income
of $31,400 ($189,000 - $157,600 = $31,400) for the year ended October 31, 2010 to
$17,970 for the year ended October 31, 2010. This is a favourable change.

*Calculation: The adjusted balance of $67,758 is after the owner invested $3,600
during the year. Therefore, the balance at the beginning of the year was $64,158
($67,758 - $3,600).
Analysis component:
If assets were $76,900 at September 30, 2010 and equity was $64,158* on the same
date, liabilities would have been the difference: $12,742. Arrow had a much
stronger balance sheet at September 30, 2010 (the lower the total liabilities as a
percentage of assets, the stronger the balance sheet). Equity decreased
substantially because of the net loss realized during 2011.

Analysis component:
The equity did increase from $73,900 to $94,500 during the year ended December
31, 2011. However, the business suffered a loss during the year which decreases
equity. The increase in equity was caused by the owner’s net investment of
$31,000 ($50,000 investment less owner withdrawals of $19,000). An increase in
equity is desirable but, for the long run, it should be driven by net income and not
owner investment.

Delanie Tugut, capital............................................................. 7,876
Total liabilities and owner’s equity........................................ $14,696
Analysis Component:
When a company shows revenue on its income statement, it does not necessarily
mean that cash equal to revenues was received during the period in which the
revenues were reported. For Tugut Arctic Tours, all of the revenues reported on
the income statement were received in cash. Tugut actually received more cash
from customers than the revenue reported because of cash received in advance
from customers. It is possible that services in the future will be provided on
account so that these revenues, although included as part of net income on the
income statement, may not be collected during the period in which the revenue
was recorded. So, the total revenues earned and reported on an income statement
will not necessarily equal the actual cash collected during the period because of
uncollected receivables and unearned revenues.

Analysis component:
There are no differences between the two methods in terms of the amounts that
appear on the financial statements. In both cases, the financial statements reflect
the following:
When prepaid expenses and unearned revenues are recorded in balance sheet
accounts, the related adjusting entries are designed to generate the correct asset,
expense, liability, and revenue account balances. When prepaid expenses and
unearned revenues are recorded in income statement accounts, the related
adjusting entries are designed to accomplish exactly the same result.
Analysis component:
The matching and revenue recognition principle requires that adjusting entries be
recorded at the end of each accounting period to allocate revenues and expenses to
the period in which they belong. Revenues should be recorded in the accounting
period they were realized and expenses should be allocated to the period in which
they were used.
Analysis component:
The recording of amortization achieves the GAAP of matching. When an asset
such as a machine is purchased, it will help generate revenues for more than the
current accounting period. Therefore, to properly match the expense of the
machine, we allocate a portion of the total cost to each accounting period in which
revenue will be generated by the machine; this process is called amortization. If
we expensed the total cost of the machine in the period in which it was purchased,
expenses would be overstated in the period the machine was purchased and
understated in future periods in which the machine was used in the operations of
the business.
Analysis component:
Unearned revenues is a type of liability account. It is occurs when the business
collects cash from a customer who is paying for a product/service in advance of
receiving the product/service. Because the business now owes the customer a
product/service, it is recorded as a liability in accordance with the revenue
recognition principle. When the product/service has been provided to the
customer, the earned portion of the liability (unearned revenues) is transferred to
a revenue account by recording an adjusting entry. This adjustment is in
accordance with both the revenue recognition and matching principles. The
business wants to allocate, or match, the revenue to the period in which it was
actually earned.

At December 31, 2011, $19,029 or 41% ($19,029/$46,574 x 100) of the business’s
assets are financed by the owner and $27,547 or 59% ($27,545/$46,574 x 100) are
financed by debt. Assuming total assets at the end of the previous month totalled
$42,100, equity financing increased from 29% ($12,326/$42,100 x 100 = 29%) at
the beginning of the month to 41%. Generally speaking, an increase in equity
financing is a favourable change since there is greater risk with debt financing (the
risk associated with being able to make payments on outstanding loans).

Analysis component:
If liabilities at June 30, 2010 were $45,000 and equity was $215,700* on the same
date, then total assets were $260,700 ($45,000 + $215,700 = $260,700). Orca Bay
Hockey Holdings had a much stronger balance sheet at June 30, 2010 (the lower
the total liabilities as a percentage of total assets, the stronger the balance sheet).
Equity decreased substantially during the year ended June 30, 2011 because of the
$167,150 net loss and, to a lesser degree, the owner withdrawals of $36,000.

Analysis Component:
When a company shows expenses on its income statement, it does not necessarily
mean that cash equal to the expenses was paid during the period in which the
expenses were reported. For example, expenses can be unpaid because they were
incurred on account. In addition, prepaid expenses represent cash that was paid
during the period but likely only partially expensed. Therefore, cash paid can be
greater than or less than the expenses reported on the income statement because
of expenses incurred on account and prepaids.

Analysis Component
There are no differences between the two methods in terms of the amounts that
appear on the financial statements. In both cases, the financial statements reflect
the following:
When prepaid expenses and unearned revenues are recorded in balance sheet
accounts, the related adjusting entries are designed to generate the correct asset,
expense, liability, and revenue account balances. When prepaid expenses and
unearned revenues are recorded in income statement accounts, the related
adjusting entries are designed to accomplish exactly the same result.
1. $388,400
2. $22,520
3. $398,120 – $22,520 = $375,600
4. ($388,400 + $22,520) – $398,120 = $12,800
Ethics Challenge
1. GAAP requires that annual amortization accumulate in the contra-asset
account, Accumulated Amortization. While capital assets are often shown at
their net value on the balance sheet (as in WestJet’s and Leon’s balance
sheets in Appendix I) the cost of the equipment along with its related
accumulated amortization can be ascertained from the notes. Jackie is
correct with her journal entry recommendation.
2. One strength of Bob’s method would be the ease of preparing the balance
sheet. The equipment balance in the adjusted trial balance would be directly
transferable to the balance sheet if the preparer desired to show the amount
at net, which it would be. Bob’s approach carries considerable weaknesses
since financial statement users would not be able to ascertain the original
cost of the equipment or be able to know how much of the original cost had
been allocated to date to amortization.
3. While both approaches would lead to the same total for assets on the
balance sheet, GAAP requires Jackie’s approach. As a professional
accountant Jackie is required to uphold the standards of her profession and
thus the decision is an ethical one for her.

Problem(s):
— Adjusting entries are required at Scotia Bank’s October 31, 2011 year end
to comply with the matching principle
Goal(s)*:
— To correctly record adjusting entries based on the information available to
ensure financial statements comply with GAAP (assuming that the
personnel director wants to comply with GAAP)
Assumption(s)/Principle(s):
— that the furniture was recorded as an asset when purchased on March 1,
2009 and that amortization has been recorded correctly to date using the
straight-line method; that the insurance is recorded as a prepaid when
purchased each March 1; that interest on the furniture loan is paid annually
with each $100,000 payment; and that adjustments are recorded at year end
only
— The matching principle requires that expenses be allocated to the
appropriate accounting period; also, the conservatism principle prohibits
the overstatement of income and assets — if adjusting entries are not
recorded, income and assets could be overstated
Facts:
— as presented
Conclusion(s)/Consequence(s):
— as a minimum, the following adjusting entries will have to be recorded based
on the information provided (calculations rounded to the nearest whole
