Fundamental Accounting Principles, 24e (Wild)

Chapter 2 Analyzing and Recording Transactions

1) Business transactions and events are the starting points of financial statements.

2) Preparation of a trial balance is the first step in processing a financial transaction.

3) Source documents identify and describe transactions and events entering the accounting process.

4) Items such as sales receipts, bank statements, checks, and purchase orders are examples of a business's source documents.

5) An account is a record of increases and decreases in a specific asset, liability, equity, revenue, or expense item.

6) A customer's promise to pay on credit is classified as an account payable by the seller.

7) Withdrawals by the owner are a business expense.

8) The purchase of land and buildings will generally be recorded in the same ledger account.

9) Unearned revenues are classified as liabilities.

10) Cash withdrawn by the owner for personal expenses should be treated as an expense of the business.

11) When a company provides services for which cash will not be received until some future date, the company should record the amount billed as accounts receivable.

12) Owner withdrawals always decrease equity.

13) Expenses always decrease equity.

14) Revenues always increase equity.

15) Owner investments always decrease equity.

16) Unearned revenue is a liability that is settled in the future when a company delivers its products or services.

17) A company's chart of accounts is a list of all the accounts used and includes an identification number assigned to each account.

18) An account's balance is the difference between the total debits and total credits for the account, including any beginning balance.

19) The right side of an account is called the debit side.

20) In a double-entry accounting system, total debits must equal total credits for all entries, and total debit account balances in the ledger must equal total credit account balances.

21) Increases in liability accounts are recorded as debits.

22) Debits increase asset and expense accounts.

23) Credits always increase account balances.

24) An expense account normally has a credit balance.

25) A revenue account normally has a debit balance.

26) Asset accounts are decreased by debits.

27) Debit means increase and credit means decrease for all accounts.

28) Asset accounts normally have debit balances and revenue accounts normally have credit balances.

29) An owner's withdrawal account normally has a debit balance.

30) A debit entry always increases an account.

31) A transaction that credits an asset account and credits a liability account must also affect one or more other accounts.

32) A transaction that decreases a liability and increases an asset must also affect one or more other accounts.

33) If insurance coverage for the next two years is paid for in advance, the amount of the payment is debited to an asset account called Prepaid Insurance.

34) The purchase of supplies on credit should be recorded with a debit to Supplies and a credit to Accounts Payable.

35) If a company purchases equipment paying cash, the journal entry to record this transaction will include a debit to Cash.

36) If a company provides services to a customer on credit, the company providing the service should credit Accounts Receivable.

37) When a company bills a customer for $700 for services performed, the journal entry to record this transaction will include a $700 debit to Services Revenue.

38) The debt ratio helps to assess the risk a company has of failing to pay its debts and is helpful to both its owners and creditors.

39) The higher a company's debt ratio, the lower the risk of a company not being able to pay its debts.

40) The debt ratio is calculated by dividing total assets by total liabilities.

41) A company that finances a relatively large portion of its assets with liabilities is said to have a high degree of financial leverage.

42) If a company is highly leveraged, this means that it has relatively high risk of not being able to repay its debt.

43) Stark Co. has liabilities of $105 million and total assets of $350 million. Its debt ratio is 40.0%.

44) A journal entry that affects only two accounts is called a compound entry.

45) Posting is the transfer of journal entry information to the ledger.

46) Transactions are recorded first in the ledger and then transferred to the journal.

47) A general journal gives a complete record of each transaction in one place, and shows the debits and credits for each transaction.

48) The general journal is a collection of all accounts and their balances.

49) At a given point in time, a trial balance is a list of all ledger accounts and their balances.

50) Errors made in journalizing transactions, posting to the ledger, and preparing the trial balance can still exist in a balanced trial balance.

51) The trial balance can serve as a replacement for the balance sheet, since total debits must equal total credits.

52) A balanced trial balance is proof that no errors were made in journalizing transactions, posting to the ledger, and preparing the trial balance.

53) If cash was incorrectly debited for $100 instead of correctly debiting accounts receivable for $100, assuming no other errors, the trial balance will balance.

54) The financial statement that summarizes how equity changes over the reporting period is called the balance sheet.

55) An income statement reports revenues earned minus expenses incurred over a period of time.

56) The detail of individual revenue and expense accounts is reported on the balance sheet.

57) The heading on every financial statement lists the three W's—Who (the name of the business); What (the name of the statement); and Where (the organization's address).

58) If an owner's capital account had a $10,000 credit balance at the beginning of the period, and during the period, the owner invests an additional $5,000, the balance in the capital account listed on the trial balance will be equal to a debit balance of $5,000.

59) Owner's withdrawals are not reported on a business's income statement.

60) An income statement reports the revenues earned minus expenses incurred by a business over a period of time.

61) The balance sheet reports the financial position of a company at a point in time.

62) The same four basic financial statements are prepared by both U.S. GAAP and IFRS.
