CHAPTER 4

COMPLETION OF THE ACCOUNTING CYCLE

CHAPTER STUDY OBJECTIVES

1. Prepare closing entries and a post-closing trial balance. At the end of an accounting period, the temporary account balances (revenue, expense, Income Summary, and Owner’s Drawings) are transferred to the Owner’s Capital account by journalizing and posting closing entries. Separate entries are made to close revenues and expenses to Income Summary; then Income Summary to Owner’s Capital; and, finally, Owner’s Drawings to Owner’s Capital. The temporary accounts begin the new period with a zero balance and the Owner’s Capital account is updated to show its end-of-period balance. A post-closing trial balance has the balances in permanent accounts (i.e., balance sheet accounts) that are carried forward to the next accounting period. The purpose of this trial balance, as with other trial balances, is to prove the equality of these account balances.

2. Explain the steps in the accounting cycle including optional steps and the preparation of correcting entries. The 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. A work sheet may be used to help prepare adjusting entries and financial statements. Reversing entries are an optional step that may be used at the beginning of the next accounting period.

Correcting entries are recorded whenever an error (an incorrect journal entry) is found. A correcting entry can be determined by comparing the incorrect entry with the journal entry that should have been recorded (the correct entry). The comparison will show which accounts need to be corrected and by how much. The correcting entry will correct the accounts. An equally acceptable alternative is to reverse the incorrect entry and then record the correct entry.

3. Prepare a classified balance sheet. In a classified balance sheet, assets are classified as current assets; long-term investments; property, plant, and equipment; intangible assets; and goodwill. Liabilities are classified as either current or non-current. Current assets are assets that are expected to be realized within one year of the balance sheet date. Current liabilities are liabilities that are expected to be paid from current assets within one year of the balance sheet date. The classified balance sheet also includes an equity section, which varies with the form of business organization.

4. Illustrate measures used to evaluate liquidity. One of the measures used to evaluate a company’s short-term liquidity is its working capital, which is the excess of current assets over current liabilities. This can also be expressed as the current ratio (current assets ÷ current liabilities). The acid-test ratio is a measure of the company’s immediate short-term liquidity and is calculated by dividing the sum of cash, short-term investments, and receivables by current liabilities.

5. Prepare a work sheet (Appendix 4A). A work sheet is an optional multi-column form, used to assist in preparing adjusting entries and financial statements. The steps in preparing a work sheet are (1) prepare a trial balance on the work sheet; (2) enter the adjustments in the adjustment columns; (3) enter adjusted balances in the adjusted trial balance columns; (4) enter adjusted trial balance amounts in correct financial statement columns; and (5) total the statement columns, calculate profit (or loss), and complete the work sheet.

6. Prepare reversing entries (Appendix 4B). Reversing entries are optional entries used to simplify bookkeeping. They are made at the beginning of the new accounting period and are the direct opposite of the adjusting entry made in the preceding period. Only accrual adjusting entries are reversed. If reversing entries are used, then subsequent cash transactions can be recorded without referring to the adjusting entries prepared at the end of the previous period.
