NCA= PPE, investments, intaginble assets
assets are defined as
resources belonging to the company
1. it must be owned or controlled by teh company
2. it possess probable future benfits that can be measured in monetary units
expenses are always debited!
we know how assets and libaility impact equity
within RE equity account anything that makes it go up, will be a credit, bc if increase equity by issuing more shares that would also make my equity go up
- anything that makes it go down would be an expense
what I was getting at last time, imagine the income statement lives inside retained earnings**
EXPENSES ARE ALWAYS DEBITED
revenues are always credited!!!
EXPENSES ARE ALWAYS DEBITED
REVENUES are always credited*
no economic rational need all these things to zero out at the end
goes into Net income then retained earnings!
closing accounts…..
will always be hte opposite of what I did above
revenue
is not an equity, asset or liability it is just sayign hey this is what happened in this time period
ex. service revenue
need all the accounts to have zero balances at the end** so this would actually economic activity this is just my closing entry to make sure I go back to zero balance
SO FLIP when closing entry** only applies to revenue adn expense accounts**
depreciation explained
when PPE is purchased, it is a capital expenditure:
always Dr. PPE $Historic Cost
Cr. Cash/Debit $historic cost
Dr. Depreciation Expense $X= lowers net income, WE ALWAYS DEBIT expenses
Cr. Accumulated Depreciation $X
expenses make net income lower therefore it dec net earnings***
just so you know:
difference btw depreciation vs ameorilation, identical concepts depreciatin is physical assets, ameorilization is copyrights, patents, exactly same thing but intangible assets
problem set 3 question
r- 1/31 GMM declares and pays a dividend of $0.05 per share.
dividend when they declare immediately becomes a liability**
dividends issued X
150,000 shares of common
stock valued at $1 par.
150,000 x $0.05 per share= $7,500, thats it!
so visualize on balance sheet: decrease cash and inc retained earnings:
Dr. Retained Earnings $7,500
Cr. Cash $7,500
credit cash because your cash goes down, then debit retained earnings**
contra-asset
is a negative asset account related to an asset account to double click on balance sheet what it would look like
so when I buy the PPE ex problem set 3 PPE gross will always be at historical cost what I paid for the thing 830,000
then I have a negative asset which keeps track of how much I have used it for how much I bought it, yes I paid 830,000 for it but during January I have used up 3750 so new baalnce of PPE woudl be 830,000- 3750** so usually that is abbreviated XA for contra account
contra-assets 2
contra assets inc with credits
decrease with debits
problem set 3 question part 2
r- 1/31 GMM declares and pays a dividend of $0.05 per share.
more complicated when you declare it at that moment in time I am creating a new liability called dividend payable and dec retained earnings
Dr. Retained earnings X
Credit Dividends Payable
then when actually pay it
cash dec and liabiity goes away
Dr. Dividends Payable X
Cr. Cash X
but just easier to do at teh end Dr. Retained Earnings X and Cr. Cash X bc cash goes down
problem set 3 question (s)GMM adjusts for its monthly taxes which are not due until March. GMM is subject to a 30%
we recognize an expense but have not yet paid it!
book value minus hte loss=
when you sell something at a loss of 750 means sell it for 100 less than what it was worth on my balance sheet
two kinds of cap x
growth cap x and steady state cap ex
steady state cap ex= what we need to continue to operate the way we are operating at a steady state
growth going out and buying new things
receives is always
rule #1
an asset
balance sheet
payable is always
rule #2
liability balance sheet
prepaid is always
rule #3
asset balance sheet
expense is always
rule #4
value of expense
= income statement
operations of a business how we run a business we have expenses!
exceptions prepaid is always an asset and trumps rule number 4
thus Prepaid rent expense is always an asset on balance sheet
revenue is always….. rule #5
revenue always goes on income statmenet can also be called advances from customers what we ear
rule #6 unearned revenue or deferred rev enue is always
a liability goes on balance sheet like gift cards, concert tickets, plane tickets
inventory* from cash flow
inventory* our warehouse so it costs
if sell off 2 dollars but costs me 1 dollar to produce I have
2 dollars in revenue 1 dollar cogs, 1 dollar
helpful hints
Lecture 1
- beware of fiscal years vs fiscal year-ends
year end 1/30/2022 relates to fiscal year 2021
- beware of denominations. ex dollar values may be in millions, but number of shares may be whole numbers. additionally, when reporting in millions rounding may cause misleading perceptions
- financails are comparable… but the most recent year is not always on the left
- while GAAP dictates how accounting numbers are calculated, there is variation in the presentation of those numbers in financais
The balance sheet part 1
Lecture 1
- a cumulative statement, snapshot in time, measured using historic values (in general)
- a conservative statement, the report bad news when it is probable only
- we report good news when it is definite*
- this is a way to discern a company’s= assets, liabilities, owner’s equity!
for example huge red flag= if revenue grows steadily but accounts receivable goes up way more= context dependent could be a big deal, makign all these sales but not actually collecting a lot from my customers! RED FLAG NOT REALLY REVENUE GROWING
or if they are diluting hte dividends and put out more dividends
Income statement
lecture 1
a periodic measurement, different than blanace sheet
measured using the accural method
a way to discern a company’s
revenue, gains, expenses and loses=
NET INCOME= Revenues + Gains- Expenses-Losses
Revenue and Expenses are operating issues
Gains and Losses are investing/financing
Income statement 2
lecture 1
-all income statement accounts start at zero each accounting period
-net income is determined over the course of the accounting period
- at the end of the accounting period, after the IS is prepared, all income statement accounts are closed-out, and moved into retained earnings***
income statement 3
lecture 1
all accounts are valued using the ACCRUAL METHOD
1. revenues and gains are recognized when earned and measurable, regardless of whether cash is received
earned:
ex. retail title transfers or service provided
2. expenses/losses are recognized when incurred regardless of whether cash is spent
incurred: resource has been used
a main purpose of the accrual method is to match revenues and expenses within the same accounting period
shareholders equity=
separated into two columns:
Earned capital:
1.retained earnings
2. accumulated other comprehensive income
Contributed capital
1.common stock (at par)
2.preferred stock (at par)
3. additional paid-in-capital (APIC)
4. treasury stock
in the us we create a bs using indirect method* american apparel is different they use the direct method
capital contribiuted in excess of par value
shareholder’s equity, BS
goodwill
intangible asset, goes on BS** if purchased from another firm, not on th BS if created by the firm
estimated liability under warranty contract
current liability
raw materials inventory
asset
rental fees received in advance
current liability for us
treasury stock
shareholders’ Equity (contra account)
owner’s equity
change in Assets= Change in liabilites+ change in owner’s equity
what is owner’s equity?
the amount owned by owners. “The residual” teh value of all assets not owed to others (liabiliites) is considered owned by the shareholders (owners)
all asset values not owed to third parties are considered owned by the shareholders, assets are what the company owns not what a shareholder owns
balance sheet T accounts
lec 4
balance sheet we never close out because it is cumulative, they are accumulative last period’s ending values we only close out income statement bc it is a snapshot in time
Dr. X Cr always think diet coke
assets
debit inc/plus left handside *** always
credit dec/ negative right hand side
liabilityes and shareholder/owner’s equity= Credit plus sign, right
debit left hand side negative sign
balance sheet T accounts 2
lecutre 4
bs t accounts balance and impact IS through Net Income is part of retained earnings which impacts revenue!!!!
revenue gains credited!!! expses are debited! when we inc revenue inc net income so inc retained earnings at the end
T accounts adjustments
lecutre 4
typically does not involve a physical event, instead the passage of time means revenue is earned or an expense has been incurred
-ex interest revenue/expense accrues, but is not yet due
ex of interrest accures overtime
ex. supplies are used- we count what remains and assume what was there in begining and used that is the ending
ex. prepaid assets are used
uneared revenue/advances from customers is earned
PPE has been used, this is a fixed asset used , or resource used up in pursue of revenue= depreciation expssense
if borrow money interest expense
