Question 17 

 

A form used to summarize the adjusting entries & their effects on account balances and to facilitate the preparation of financial statements.  It has five (5) sets of Debit & Credit columns including: Trial Balance, Adjustments, Adjusted Trial Balance, Income Statement, & Balance Sheet. 

 

Includes long term assets such as patents on inventions, trademarks on symbols, & copyrights on printed works.  While they have no physical substance, they do have monetary value based on the rights of ownership and can be bought & sold.

 

Internal transactions made at the end of the fiscal period to set all revenue & expense accounts to a zero (0) balance and to transfer the company’s net income or loss into the owner’s capital account.

 

An accounting system which recognizes (records) revenues when they are earned & expenses when they are incurred (regardless of whether cash has been received or paid out).  It is preferred by accountants since its net income is a truer measure of a firm’s financial performance.

 

Revenue that has been both earned & not yet recorded or received in cash or receivables. An adjusting entry is made at the end of the accounting period to get the unrecorded revenue on the books. 

 

The systematic allocation of the cost of a long term fixed asset (like equipment or a truck) over its useful life.  This allocated cost represents the expense of using the asset in each accounting period.  This decline in the value of an asset is due to physical wear & technological tear and obsolesce. 

 

Occasional journal entries made rectify mistakes in recording previous transactions.  The amount of the error is transferred out of the wrong account & into the right account so both accounts will have their correct balances. 

 

Internal transactions which reflect events that have occured but which have not yet been recorded.  They are made at the fiscal year to bring all account balances up to date before financial statements are prepared. 

 

An accounting system which recognizes (records) revenue when cash is received & expenses when cash is paid out.  It is frowned upon by accountants since it does not measure a firm’s “True” Net Income & can be easily manipulated to increase net income. 

 

Assets including cash, accounts receivable, supplies, & merchandise inventory.  They are expected to be converted in cash, sold, or consumed within one year or the firm’s normal operating cycle, whichever is longer.

 

Any twelve (12) month period used to measure a company’s annual profitability.  It need not correspond the calendar year (Jan. 1 – Dec. 31) & often ends during a firm’s slow or off season. 

 

Money which has been received from clients/customers in advance of earning it is initially recorded as a liability (Unearned Fees).  An adjusting entry is made at the end of the accounting period to record that portion advance funds that has been earned and is now correctly classified as revenue.
