Chapter 2
Analyzing and Recording Transactions
QUESTIONS
1. a. Common asset accounts: cash, accounts receivable, notes receivable, prepaid expenses (rent, insurance, etc.), office supplies, store supplies, equipment, building, and land.
b. Common liability accounts: accounts payable, notes payable, and unearned revenue, wages payable, and taxes payable.
c. Common equity accounts: common stock and retained earnings and dividends.
2. A note payable is formal promise, usually denoted by signing a promissory note to pay a future amount. A note payable can be short-term or long-term, depending on when it is due, and usually carries an interest charge based on amount and time. An account payable also references an amount owed to an entity. An account payable can be oral or implied, and often arises from the purchase of inventory, supplies, or services. An account payable is usually short-term and not charged interest.
3. There are several steps in processing transactions: (1) Identify and analyze the transaction or event, including the source document(s), (2) apply double-entry accounting, (3) record the transaction or event in a journal, and (4) post the journal entry to the ledger. These steps would be followed by preparation of a trial balance and then with the reporting of financial statements.
4. A general journal can be used to record any business transaction or event.
5. Debited accounts are commonly recorded first. The credited accounts are commonly indented.
6. Expense accounts have debit balances because they are decreases to equity (and equity has a credit balance).
7. A transaction is first recorded in a journal to create a complete record of the transaction in one place. (The journal is often referred to as the book of original entry.) This process reduces the likelihood of errors in ledger accounts.
8. The recordkeeper prepares a trial balance to summarize the contents of the ledger and to verify the equality of total debits and total credits. The trial balance also serves as a helpful internal document for preparing financial statements and other reports.
9. The error should be corrected with a separate (subsequent) correcting entry. The entry’s explanation should describe why the correction is necessary.
10. The four financial statements are: income statement, balance sheet, statement of retained earnings, and statement of cash flows.
11. The income statement lists the types and amounts of revenues and expenses, and reports whether the business earned a net income (also called profit or earnings) or a net loss.
12. An income statement user must know what time period is covered to judge whether the company’s performance is satisfactory. For example, a statement user would not be able to assess whether the amounts of revenue and net income are satisfactory without knowing whether they were earned over a week, a month, a quarter, or a year.
13. The balance sheet provides information that helps users understand a company’s financial position at a point in time. Accordingly, it is often called the statement of financial position. The balance sheet lists the types and dollar amounts of assets, liabilities, and equity of the business.
14. (a) Assets are probable future economic benefits obtained or controlled by a specific entity as a result of past transactions or events. (b) Liabilities are probable future sacrifices of economic benefits arising from present obligations of a particular entity to transfer assets or provide services to other entities in the future as a result of past transactions or events. (c) Equity is the residual interest in the assets of an entity that remains after deducting its liabilities. (d) Net assets refer to equity.
15. The balance sheet is sometimes referred to as the statement of financial position.
16. Debit balance accounts on the Research In Motion balance sheet include: Cash and cash equivalents; Short-term investments; Accounts receivable; Other receivables; Inventories; Other current assets; Deferred income tax asset; Long-term investments; Property, plant and equipment; Intangible assets; Goodwil; Treasury stock
Credit balance accounts on the Research In Motion balance sheet include: Accounts payable; Accrued liabilities; Income taxes payable; Deferred revenue; Deferred income tax liability; Common stock; Additional paid-in capital; Retained earnings; Accumulated other comprehensive income.
17. The asset account with receivable in its account title is: Accounts receivable. The liability with payable in its account title is: Accounts payable.
18. Palm’s revenue account is titled “Revenues.”
19. Nokia calls the asset referring to its merchandise available for sale: “Inventories.”

The correct answer is f.
Explanation: If a $2,250 debit to Utilities Expense is incorrectly posted as a credit, the effect is to understate the Utilities Expense debit balance by $4,500. This causes the Debit column total on the trial balance to be $4,500 less than the Credit column total.

a. Accounting under IFRS follows the same debit and credit system as under US GAAP.
b. The same four basic financial statements are prepared under IFRS and US GAAP: income statement, balance sheet, statement of changes in equity, and statement of cash flows. Although some variations from these titles exist within both systems, the four basic statements are present.
c. Accounting reports under both IFRS and US GAAP are likely different depending on the extent of accounting controls and enforcement. For example, the absence of controls and enforcement increase the possibility of fraudulent transactions and misleading financial statements. Without controls and enforcement, all accounting systems run the risk of abuse and manipulation.
