CHAPTER 1
Financial Accounting:
Financial accounting is the process that culminates in the preparation of financial reports on the enterprise for use by both internal and external parties. Users of these reports are invertors, creditors, managers, unions, and govt. agencies.
Financial Statements:
"The financial statements provide information about the financial position, performance and changes in financial position of an enterprise that is useful to a wide range of users in making economic decisions." A financial statement is a formal record of the financial activities of a business, person, or other entity. Financial statements should be understandable, relevant, reliable and comparable. Reported assets, liabilities, equity, income and expenses are directly related to an organization's financial position. If financial statements are issued strictly for internal use, there are no guidelines, other than common usage, for how the statements are to be presented.
Used as an information providing tool for decision making about new decisions. To determine the ability of a business to generate cash, and the sources and uses of that cash.
To determine whether a business has the capability to pay back its debts. To track financial results on a trend line to spot any looming profitability issues. To derive financial ratios from the statements that can indicate the condition of the business.
To investigate the details of certain business transactions, as outlined in the disclosures that accompany the statements.

Users of Financial Statements
Owners and managers require financial statements to make important business decisions that affect its continued operations. Financial analysis is then performed on these statements to provide management with a more detailed understanding of the figures. These statements are also used as part of management's annual report to the stockholders.
Employees also need these reports in making collective bargaining agreements (CBA) with the management, in the case of labor unions or for individuals in discussing their compensation, promotion and rankings.
Prospective investors make use of financial statements to assess the viability of investing in a business. Financial analyses are often used by investors and are prepared by professionals (financial analysts), thus providing them with the basis for making investment decisions.
Financial institutions (banks and other lending companies) use them to decide whether to grant a company with fresh working capital or extend debt securities (such as a longterm bank loan or debentures) to finance expansion and other significant expenditures.
Evaluate the past performance of the company Provide a basis for predicting future performance Help assess the risk or uncertainty of achieving future cash flows

Types of Income Statement
1. Single Step Income Statement
A single step income statement uses just one subtraction. This is done by subtotaling all the revenues and gains together at the top of income statement and subtotaling all the expenses and losses together below revenues. The sum of expenses and losses is then subtracted from the sum of revenues and gains to arrive at net income. The net income calculated using the single-step income statement is equal to that calculated using a multi-step income statement. Formula Net Income = (Revenue + Gains) (Expenses + Losses) Example
ABC Company Income Statement For The Year Ended December 31, 2012 Revenues: Sales Interest Rent Total revenues Expenses: Cost of goods sold Advertising Commissions Depreciationoffice building Interest Insurancesalespersons auto Salaries and wagesoffice Suppliesoffice Income taxes Total expenses Net income 2.

The multiple-step profit and loss statement segregates the operating revenues and operating expenses from the non operating revenues, non operating expenses, gains, and losses. The

multiple-step income statement also shows the gross profit (net sales minus the cost of goods sold). Example

C. Balance Sheet
The balance sheet presents a company's financial position at the end of a specified date. The balance sheet is based on the following fundamental accounting model: Assets = Liabilities + Owners Equity Assets can be classed as either current assets or fixed assets. Current assets are assets that quickly and easily can be converted into cash, sometimes at a discount to the purchase price. Current assets include cash, accounts receivable, marketable securities, notes receivable, inventory, and prepaid assets such as prepaid insurance. Fixed assets, also known as a non-current asset or as property, plant, and equipment, is a term used in accounting for assets and property which cannot easily be converted into cash. Such assets are recorded at historical cost, which often is much lower than the market value. Liabilities represent the portion of a firm's assets that are owed to creditors. Short-term (current) liabilities include accounts payable, notes payable, interest payable, wages payable, and taxes payable. Long-term (non-current) liabilities include mortgages payable and bonds payable. The portion of a mortgage long-term bond that is due within the next 12 months is classed as a current liability, and usually is referred to as the current portion of long-term debt. The creditors of a business are the primary claimants, getting paid before the owners should the business cease to exist.

Equity is referred to as owner's equity in a sole proprietorship or a partnership, and stockholders' equity or shareholders' equity in a corporation. Example ABC Company Balance Sheet December 31, 2012

D. Statement of Cash Flow
A financial statement lists how a firm has obtained its funds and how it has spent them within a period of time. It answers the questions Where the money came (will come) from? And where it went (will go)? The cash flow statement organizes and reports the cash generated and used in the following categories: Operating activities converts the items reported on the income statement from the accrual basis of accounting to cash. Investing activities reports the purchase and sale of long-term investments and property, plant and equipment. Financing activities reports the issuance and repurchase of the company's own bonds and stock and the payment of dividends. Example

CHAPTER 2
Account Receivables
Accounts receivables (alternately receivables) are created when a customer purchases goods or services from a company but do not pay for them at the time of purchase. Current Receivables: expected to be collected within one year or one operating cycle, whichever is longer. Trade Receivable (A/R): oral promises of the purchasers to pay for goods sold and services rendered. They are usually collected in 30-60 days. Thus, A/R is always reported as a current asset with the net realizable value. Notes Receivable (N/R): written promises to pay a certain sum of money on a specific future date. N/R can be long-term or short-term and can be interest-bearing or noninterest bearing. Transaction

Types of Discount 1. Trade Discount The amount by which a manufacturer reduces the retail price of a product when it sells to a reseller, rather than to the end customer. The reseller then charges the retail price to its customers in order to earn a profit on the difference between the amount by which the manufacturer sold the product to it and the price at which it then sells the product to the final customer. 2. Cash Discounts Cash discounts are used to . . . Increase sales Encourage early payment by customers Increase the likelihood of collections of accounts receivable

2. Allowance method Under the allowance method, an adjustment is made at the end of each accounting period to estimate bad debts based on the business activity from that accounting period. Established companies rely on past experience to estimate unrealized bad debts, but new companies must rely on published industry averages until they have sufficient experience to make their own estimates. The specific customer accounts that will become uncollectible are not yet known when the adjusting entry is made, a contra-asset account named allowance for bad debts, which is sometimes called allowance for doubtful accounts, is subtracted from accounts receivable to show the net realizable value of accounts receivable on the balance sheet
Page 10
Intermediate Accounting
Recognition Entry The first step in the allowance method is to pass an adjusting entry at the end of the period to recognize bad. But unlike direct write-off method, we cannot credit accounts receivable because it is actually a control account of many individual debtor accounts and we do yet not know which particular debtor will make a default. We only know the estimated amount of receivable which are likely to end up uncollected. Therefore a provision account called allowance for doubtful accounts is credited in the adjusting entry. Example Bad Debts Expense Allowance for Doubtful Accounts In Balance sheet The bad debts expense account, just like any other expense account, is closed to income Statement account of the period. The allowance for doubtful debts is contra-asset account. It is presented on balance sheet by subtracting it from accounts receivable as shown below: Accounts Receivable Less: Allowance for Doubtful Accounts Accounts Receivable, net Write-off Entry When a debt is actually determined as uncollectible, the following journal entry is passed to write it off. Allowance for Doubtful Debts Accounts Receivable 70 70 $15,000 600 $14,400 600 600
As more and more debts are written off, the balance in the allowance account keeps on decreasing.

Valuation of Inventory
Inventory
Inventory is defined as assets that are intended for sale, are in process of being produced for sale or are to be used in producing goods. The following equation expresses how a company's inventory is determined:
Ending Inventory = Beginning Inventory + Net Purchases - Cost of Goods Sold (COGS)
Dr Cr
4. Perpetual inventory system Purchases, purchase returns and allowances, purchase discounts, sales, and sales returns are immediately recognized in the inventory account, so the inventory account balance should always remain accurate, assuming there is no theft, spoilage, or other losses.

4. Last-in-First-Out Method (LIFO) This method of inventory valuation is exactly opposite to first-in-first-out method. Here it is assumed that newer inventory is sold first and older remains in inventory. When prices of goods increase, cost of goods sold in LIFO method is relatively higher and ending inventory balance is relatively lower. This is because the cost goods sold mostly consists of newer higher priced goods and ending inventory cost consists of older low priced items. Example

5. Average Cost Method (AVCO) Under average cost method, weighted average cost per unit is calculated for the entire inventory on hand which is used to record cost of goods sold. Weighted average cost per unit is calculated as follows:
The weighted average cost as calculated above is multiplied by number of units sold to get cost of goods sold and with number of units in ending inventory to obtain cost of ending inventory.

CHAPTER 4 Depreciation
Depreciation is a means of cost allocation. It is a non cash expense. Depreciation is the accounting process allocating the cost of tangible assets to expense in a systematic and rational manner to those periods expected to benefit from the use of asset For example, if a PC cost 60,000 and was expected to be used for three years, it might be estimated at the end of the first year that a third of its overall usefulness had been consumed. Depreciation would then be charged at an amount equal to one third of the cost of the PC, i.e. 20,000. Profit would be reduced by 20,000 and the value of the PC in the balance sheet would be reduced from 60,000 to 40,000.

Methods of Depreciation
There are several methods of depreciation. 1. Straight-line method. 2. Activity based method. 3. Decreasing charge methods (accelerated): a) Sum-of-the-year-digit. b) Declining-balance method\ Reducing balance method.
Example
On Jan 1, 2011 Company A purchased a vehicle costing 20,000. It is expected to have a value of 5,000 at the end of 4 years. Calculate depreciation expense on the vehicle for the year ended Dec 31, 2011.

Activity Method of Depreciation / Variable Charge
The activity method of depreciation (also called the variable charge approach or unit of production approach) assumes that depreciation is a function of use or productivity instead of the passage of time. The life of the asset is considered in terms of either the output it provides (units of produces), or an input measure such as the number of hours it works. Conceptually, the proper cost association is established in terms of output instead of hours used, but often the output is not easily measurable. In such cases, an output measure such as machine hours is a more appropriate method of measuring the dollar amount of depreciation charges for a given accounting period. Formula The following formula is used for the calculation of depreciation charge under activity method: ( )
Example Plastic LTD purchases a steel mould costing 1,000,000 to be used in the production of plastic glasses. The mould could be used in 8 production batches after which it will have a scrap value of 20,000. During the first year, the company manufactures 2 batches of glasses.

It is calculated on the book value of asset. The book value of an asset is obtained by deducting depreciation from its cost. The book value of asset gradually reduces on account of charging depreciation. To find the book value of last year we subtract the salvage value from the book value of second last year. Example A business has an asset with 500,000 original cost, 50,000 salvage value, and 5 years useful life. 40% depreciation rate would be used. Solution Book value at the Depreciation beginning of the year 500,000 300,000 180,000 108,000 64,800 *64,800 50,000 = 14,800 rate @ 40% 200,000 120,000 72,000 43,200 *14,800 Book value at the end of the year 300,000 180,000 108,000 64,800 50,000
Sum-of-the-year-digit method
Here also the depreciation charge constantly reduces based on decreasing fraction of depreciable cost his method is normally applied to fairly long lived assets. Unlike the diminishing balance method, a constantly decreasing rate is applied on the original cost. At the end of the assts useful life, the balance remaining should equal the salvage value.

Example A business has an asset with 750,000 original cost, 30,000 salvage value, and 8 years useful life. Solution
