Accounting Basics for Non-Accountants

Accounting is a system that identifies, records, and communicates financial information to help users make better decisions. It links economic activities with the results of decisions. The accounting process uses double-entry bookkeeping to record transactions, which ensures the accounting equation (Assets = Liabilities + Equity) remains balanced. Key accounting records include journals, ledgers, balance sheets, and income statements.

TRANSACTIONS AND THE
ACCOUNTING EQUATION
All business transactions, from the simplest to the
most complex, can be stated in terms of the resulting
change in the three basic elements of the accounting
equation. Before a transaction can be recorded in the
book of accounts, it must be analyzed into its debit and
credit elements. The following questions will be helpful in
analyzing a business transaction;
• Which item (items) is/are affected – Assets, Liabilities,
Capital?
• How is each item affected – it is increased or
decreased?
• According to the rules of debit and credit, is the increase
or the decrease in the item to be debited or credited?
• What account titles should be used to record the debit
or credit item?

DOUBLE ENTRY BOOKKEEPING

As the basis of this illustration,


assume that on September 1, 19xx Nick
Requijo establishes a sole proprietorship
to be known as Requijo Taxi. Each
transaction or group of similar transactions
during the first month of operations is
described followed by an illustration of its
effect(s) on the accounting equation and
the corresponding two-column journal
entry and explanation of entry for each
give transaction.
DOUBLE ENTRY BOOKKEEPING

• TRANSACTION ONE
Nick Requijo deposited P500,000 in a
bank account in the name of Requijo Taxi.
The effect of this transaction is to increase
the asset cash by P500,000 and to
increase capital, on the other side of the
equation, by the same amount. After the
transaction, the equation for Requijo Taxi
will appear as follows:
Table 1.3

  ±ASSETS ±LIABILITIES ±CAPITAL

+Requijo,
+ Cash Capital
1 P500,000   P500,000
DOUBLE ENTRY BOOKKEEPING

It should be noted that the equation


relates only to the business enterprise.
Nick Requijo’s personal assets, such as
his home, car, his personal bank account,
and his personal liabilities are excluded
from consideration. The business is
treated as a distinct entity, with cash of
P500,000 and the owner’s equity of
P500,000.

The explanation of each debit or


credit entry on the journal is based on the
rules of debit and credit. Cash was debited
because of increase in asset while Capital
was credited because of increase in
capital due to investment of the owner.
DOUBLE ENTRY BOOKKEEPING

• TRANSACTION TWO
Requijo’s next transaction on September 5
is to purchase land as a future building site, for
which P100,000 cash is paid. This transaction
changes the composition of the assets but does
not change the total amount. The items in the
equation prior to this transaction, the effects of
this transaction, and the new balance after the
transaction are as follow:
Table 1.5

  ±ASSETS ±LIABILITIES ±CAPITAL

After the transaction, there is a land


costing P100, 000 but the balance is
reduced to P400, 000. The total assets
composed of cash and land total to P500,
000. Notice that there is no change in the
liability and capital items.

In the transaction recorded, there


was a change in the asset element. Land
was debited because of increase in assets
while Cash was credited because of
decrease in assets. The reason for the
debit and credit comes from the rules of
debit and credit.
DOUBLE ENTRY BOOKKEEPING

• TRANSACTION THREE
Requijo’s current plans are to lease cars and
other equipment from California Bus Company for
several months until he can arrange financing for the
purchase of cars and other equipment and for the
construction of garage and storage facilities.
On September 7 Requijo purchases P60, 000 of
parts and other supplies from various suppliers, agreeing
to pay in the near future. This type of transaction is
called purchase of supplies on account and the liability
created is termed accounts payable. Consumable
commodities acquired, such as supplies, are considered
to be prepaid expenses. Prepaid expenses are
expenses paid in advance and are classified as
asset.
DOUBLE ENTRY BOOKKEEPING

In actual practice, each purchase


would be considered and recorded as it
occurred and a separated record would be
maintained for each creditor. In this
illustration, however, the purchases are
recorded as a group. The effect is to
increase the assets and liabilities by P600,
000, as indicated below:
Table 1.7

  ±ASSETS ±LIABILITIES ±CAPITAL

After this transaction, the total assets


amount to P560,000 composed of Cash
P400,000, Land P100, 000, and Supplies
P60,000. The total equity is also P560,000
composed of Accounts Payable P60,000 and
Capital of P500,000. The total of the two column,
debit and credit, still balance.

TRANSACTION FOUR
On September 9, P10,000 is paid to
creditors on account, thereby reducing
both assets and liabilities. The effect on
the equation is as follows:

while cash was credited because of decrease

DOUBLE ENTRY BOOKKEEPING

TRANSACTION FIVE
The principal objective of the owner of a business
enterprise is to increase capital through earnings. For
Nick Requijo, this means that the cash and other assets
acquired through the sale of taxi services must be
greater than the cost of the gasoline and other supplies
used, the wages of drivers, the rent, and all of the other
expenses of operating the business.
In general, the amount charged to customers for
goods or services sold to them is called revenue.
Alternative terms may be used for particular types of
revenue, such as sales for the sale of merchandise or
business services, fees earned for charges by a
physician to patients, rent revenue for the use of real
estate or other property, and fares earned for Requijo
Taxi.
DOUBLE ENTRY BOOKKEEPING

In a broad sense, the amount of assets consumed


or services used in the process of earning revenue is
called expense. Expenses would include supplies used,
salaries and wages of employees, and other assets and
services used in operating the business.

The excess of the revenue over the expenses


incurred in earning the revenue is called net income or
net profit. If the expenses of the enterprise exceed the
revenue, the excess is a net loss. Since it is ordinarily
impossible to determine the exact amount of expense
incurred in connection with each revenue transactions, it
is considered satisfactory to determine the net income or
the net loss for a specified period of time, such as a
month, or a quarter, a semester, or a year, rather than
each of small group of sales.
DOUBLE ENTRY BOOKKEEPING

During the first month of operations Requijo Taxi


earned fares of P150, 000, receiving the amount
in cash. The total effect of these transactions is to
increase cash by P150, 000 and to yield revenue
in the same amount. The revenue can be viewed
as though it affected a P150, 000 increases in
capital.
At the time expenses of the business are
incurred, they are treated as offsets against
revenue and hence as reduction in capital. In
terms of the accounting equation, the effect of the
receipt of cash for services performed follows:
Table 1.11
  ±ASSETS ±LIABILITIES ±CAPITAL
+ Cash + Requijo, Capital
1. P500,000   P500,000
- Cash    
2. P100,000
+ Land    
  P100,000
+ Supplies +Account Payable
3. P 60,000 P60,000  
- Cash - Account Payable
4. P 10,000 P10,000  

+ Cash + Fares Earned


5. P150,000   P150,000
DOUBLE ENTRY BOOKKEEPING

After this transaction, the total assets amount to P700, 000


composed of Cash P540, 000, Land P100, 000, and Supplies P60,
000. The total equities are also P700, 000 composed of Accounts
Payable P50, 000 and Capital of P650, 000 (including the fare
earned).
Instead of requiring payment of cash at the time goods or services
are sold or rendered, a business may make sales of goods or
services on account, allowing customer to pay later. In such cases,
the business acquires a claim against the customer, called an
account receivable. An account receivable is as much an asset as
cash, and the revenue is realized in exactly the same manner as if
cash had been immediately received. At a later date, when the
money is collected, there is only an exchange of one asset for
another, with cash increasing and accounts receivable decreasing.

In the transaction recorded, Cash was debited because of increase in


assets while Fares Earned was credited because of increase in
capital due to increase in revenue.

Various business expenses incurred and
paid during the month were as follow: wages,
P40, 000; rent, P20, 000; gas and oil, P50, 000;
miscellaneous expenses, P10, 000. The effect of
this group of transaction is to reduce cash and to
reduce capital, as indicated in the following
manner in the equation:
Table 1.13

After this transaction, the total asset


amount to P580, 000 composed of Cash
P420, 000, Land P100, 000, and Supplies
of P60, 000. The total equities are also
P580, 000 composed of Accounts Payable
P50, 000 and Capital of P530, 000. It
should be remembered that revenue and
expense accounts are temporary capital
accounts; these items are closed to
capital at the end of the accounting period.

At the end of the month it is determined that the
cost of supplies on hand is P40, 000, the remainder of
P20, 000 (P60, 000- P40, 000) have been used in the
operations of the business. This deduction of P20, 000 in
supplies and capital may be shown as follows:

After this transaction, the total assets amount to


P560, 000 composed of Cash P420, 000, Land P100,
000, and Supplies of only P40, 000. The total equities
are also P560, 000 composed of Accounts Payable of

TRANSACTION EIGHT
At the end of the month, Nick Requijo withdraws
from the business P20, 000 in cash for his personnel
use. This transaction, which affects a decrease in cash
and a decrease in capital, is the exact opposite of an
investment in the business by the owner. The
withdrawal is not a business expense, and it should
be excluded from consideration in determining the
net income from operations of the enterprise. The
effect of the P20, 000 withdrawals on the equation is as
follows:
After this transaction, the total assets amount to
P540, 000 composed of Cash P400, 000, Land P100,

summarized in tabular form below. The transactions are
identified by transaction numbers and the balance of
each item is shown after each transaction. The following
observations, which apply to all types of businesses,

ACCOUNTING STATEMENTS

• BALANCE SHEET
A kind of financial statement that list the assets, liabilities,
and capital of a business entity as of a specific dated, usually at the
close of the last day of a month or of a year. It is a kind of financial
statement that shows the financial position of the business entity as
of a given date, usually the end of the year.

The amount of Requio Taxi’s assets, liabilities, and capital


at the end of the first month of operation appears on the last line of
the summary in the preceding page. Minor arrangements of these
data and the addition of a heading yield the balance sheet illustrated
below. This form of balance sheet, with the liability and capital
section presented below the asset section, is called the report
form. Another arrangement in common use lists the assets on the
left and the liabilities and capital on the right. Because of its
similarity to the account, a basic accounting device described earlier
in the chapter, it is referred to as the account form of the balance
sheet.

It is customary to begin the asset section with cash, which is
followed by receivables, inventory (for trading business),
supplies, prepaid expense items, and other assets that will
be converted into cash or consumed in the near future. The
assets of a relatively permanent nature, such as land,
buildings, and equipment, follow in that order. Note that in
the balance sheet presented the total assets and the total of
liability and capital are equal.
The balance sheet shows the liquidity (solvency) and
stability of as enterprise. Solvency refers to the ability of the
business to pay currently maturing liabilities while stability
refers to the ability of the enterprise to pay maturing
obligations and give return on the investment of the
owner(s).
In the liabilities and capital section of
the balance sheet, it is customary to
present the liabilities first followed by
capital. In the illustration for Requijo Taxi
the liabilities are composed entirely of
accounts payable. When there are two or
more categories of liabilities, each should
be listed and the total amount of liabilities
presented in the following manner:

The order in which the operating expenses are
presented in the income statement varies among
businesses. One of the arrangements commonly
followed is to list them in the order of size, beginning with
the larger items. Miscellaneous expenses is usually
shown as the last item regardless of the amount.
In the income statement, users will know if the
operation of the business is profitable. Profitability
refers to the ability of the business to increase owner’s
capital. If the total net asset inflow is more than the net
asset outflow, the resulting effect is net income. If the net
asset outflow is more than the net asset inflow, it is a net
loss.

CAPITAL STATEMENT (Statement of Owner’s Equity)


It is a statement that shows the summary of the changes
in capital of a business entity that have occurred during a
specific period of time, such a month or a year.
Comparison of the original investment of P500, 000 at the
beginning of the month with the P490, 000 of capital
reported in the balance sheet at the end of the month
reveals a decrease of P10, 000. This net decrease is
composed of two significant changes in capital that
occurred during the period: (1) the net income of P10,
000, and (2) a withdrawal of P20, 000 by the owner. This
information is presented in the capital statement, which
serves as a connecting link between the balance sheet
and the income statement.

ACCOUNTING STATEMENTS

• STATEMENT OF CASH FLOWS


The statement of cash flows consists of three sections:
(1) operating activities, (2) financing activities, and (3)
investing activities. Each of these sections is described
below:

• Cash Flows form Operating Activities


This section reports a summary of cash receipts and
cash payments from operations. The net cash flow from
operating activities will normally differ from the amount of
net income for the period. This difference occurs because
revenues and expenses may not be recorded at the
same time that cash is received from customers and cash
is paid to creditors.
ACCOUNTING STATEMENTS

• Cash Flows from Financing Activities


This section reports the cash transactions related to
cash investments by the owner, borrowing, and cash
withdrawals by the owner.

• Cash Flow from Investing Activities


This section reports the cash transactions for the
acquisition and sale of relatively long-term or permanent-
type assets.
The preparation of the statement of cash flow is
required by pronouncement, every year that the income
statement is presented. Preparing the statement of cash
flows requires an understanding of concepts that we will
not discuss in the chapter. But a simple illustration will be
given to be able to illustrate how statement of cash flow is
prepared.
