ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS
1. (a) Under the time period assumption, an accountant is required to determine the relevance of
each business transaction to specific accounting periods.
(b) An accounting time period of one year in length is referred to as a fiscal year. A fiscal year
that extends from January 1 to December 31 is referred to as a calendar year. Accounting
periods of less than one year are called interim periods.

2. The two generally accepted accounting principles that relate to adjusting the accounts are:
(1) The revenue recognition principle, which states that revenue should be recognized in the
accounting period in the performance obligation is satisfied.
(2) The expense recognition principle, which states that efforts (expenses) be matched with
accomplishments (revenues).
LO1 BT: C Difficulty: Easy TOT: 4 min. AACSB: None AICPA FC: Measurement
3. The law firm should recognize the revenue in April. The revenue recognition principle states that
revenue should be recognized in the accounting period in the performance obligation is satisfied.
LO1 BT: C Difficulty: Easy TOT: 2 min. AACSB: None AICPA FC: Measurement
4. Information presented on an accrual basis is more useful than on a cash basis because it reveals
relationships that are likely to be important in predicting future results. To illustrate, under accrual
accounting, revenues are recognized when the performance obligation is satisfied so they can be
related to the economic environment in which they occur. Trends in revenues are thus more
meaningful.
LO1 BT: C Difficulty: Easy TOT: 3 min. AACSB: None AICPA FC: Measurement
5. Expenses of $4,500 should be deducted from the revenues in April. Under the expense
recognition principle efforts (expenses) should be matched with accomplishments (revenues).

6. No, adjusting entries are required by the revenue recognition and expense recognition principles.
LO1 BT: C Difficulty: Easy TOT: 2 min. AACSB: None AICPA FC: Measurement
7. A trial balance may not contain up-to-date information for financial statements because:
(1) Some events are not journalized daily because it is not efficient to do so.
(2) The expiration of some costs occurs with the passage of time rather than as a result of daily
transactions.
(3) Some items may be unrecorded because the transaction data are not yet known.
LO1 BT: C Difficulty: Easy TOT: 4 min. AACSB: None AICPA FC: Measurement
8. The two categories of adjusting entries are deferrals and accruals. Deferrals consist of prepaid
expenses and unearned revenues. Accruals consist of accrued revenues and accrued expenses.
LO1, 2, 3 BT: C Difficulty: Easy TOT: 2 min. AACSB: None AICPA FC: Measurement
9. In the adjusting entry for a prepaid expense, an expense is debited and an asset is credited.

10. No. Depreciation is the process of allocating the cost of an asset to expense over its useful life in
a rational and systematic manner. Depreciation results in the presentation of the book value of
the asset, not its fair value.
LO2 BT: C Difficulty: Easy TOT: 2 min. AACSB: None AICPA FC: Measurement
11. Depreciation expense is an expense account whose normal balance is a debit. This account
shows the cost that has expired during the current accounting period. Accumulated depreciation
is a contra asset account whose normal balance is a credit. The balance in this account is the
depreciation that has been recognized from the date of acquisition to the balance sheet date.

*13. In the adjusting entry for an unearned revenue, a liability is debited and a revenue is credited.

*14. Asset and revenue. An asset would be debited and a revenue would be credited.
LO3 BT: C Difficulty: Easy TOT: 2 min. AACSB: None AICPA FC: Measurement
*16. Net income was understated $200 because prior to adjustment, revenues are understated by
$900 and expenses are understated by $700. The difference in this case is $200 ($900 – $700).
($900 - $700 = $200 understated)

20. Disagree. An adjusting entry affects only one balance sheet account and one income statement
account.
LO2, 3 BT: C Difficulty: Easy TOT: 2 min. AACSB: None AICPA FC: Measurement
21. Financial statements can be prepared from an adjusted trial balance because the balances of
all accounts have been adjusted to show the effects of all financial events that have occurred
during the accounting period.

**23. (a) The primary objective of financial reporting is to provide financial information that is useful to
investors and creditors for making decisions about providing capital.
(b) The fundamental qualitative characteristics are relevance and faithful representation. The
enhancing qualities are comparabiIity, consistency, verifiability, timeliness, and
understandability.
LO6 BT: K Difficulty: Easy TOT: 2 min. AACSB: None AICPA FC: Measurement
*24. Gross is correct. Consistency means using the same accounting principles and accounting
methods from period to period within a company. Without consistency in the application of
accounting principles, it is difficult to determine whether a company is better off, worse off, or
the same from period to period.
LO6 BT: C Difficulty: Easy TOT: 3 min. AACSB: None AICPA FC: Measurement
*25. Comparability results when different companies use the same accounting principles.
Consistency means using the same accounting principles and methods from year to year within
the same company.
LO6 BT: C Difficulty: Easy TOT: 2 min. AACSB: None AICPA FC: Measurement
*26. The constraint is the cost constraint. The cost constraint allows accounting standard setters to
weigh the cost that companies will incur to provide information against the benefit that financial
statement users will gain from having the information available.
LO6 BT: C Difficulty: Easy TOT: 2 min. AACSB: None AICPA FC: Measurement
*27. Accounting relies primarily on two measurement principles. Fair value is sometimes used when
market price information is readily available. However, in many situations reliable market price
information is not available. In these instances, accounting relies on cost as its basis.

*28. The economic entity assumption states that every economic entity can be separately identified
and accounted for. This assumption requires that the activities of the entity be kept separate and
distinct from (1) the activities of its owners (the shareholders) and (2) all other economic entities.
A shareholder of a company charging personal living costs as expenses of the company is an
example of a violation of the economic entity assumption.

(c) Owner’s Capital at June 30, 2020, can be computed in one of two ways.
Using the basic accounting equation (Assets = Liabilities + Owner’s
Equity), we find that total assets are $19,280 and total liabilities are
$5,530; therefore, Owner’s Equity (Owner’s Capital) is $13,750 ($19,280 –
$5,530).

1. True.
2. True.
3. False. Many business transactions affect more than one of these artificial
time periods. For example, the purchase of a building affects expenses
for many years.
4. True.
5. False. A time period that lasts less than one year, such as monthly or
quarterly periods, is called an interim period.
6. False. All calendar years are fiscal years, but not all fiscal years are
calendar years. An accounting time period that is one year in length is
referred to as a fiscal year. A fiscal year that starts on January 1 and
ends on December 31 is a calendar year.

Answer Computation
Purchase date = Aug. 1, 2019 Purchase date: On Jan. 31, there are
6 months’ coverage remaining ($400 X 6).
Thus, the purchase date was 6 months
earlier on Aug. 1, 2019.
($400 x 12 = $4,800); $2,400 = ½ of $4,800, therefore 6 mos. have elapsed. Aug. 1 2019 is 6 mos. from Jan. 31,

information that is useful to investors and creditors for making
decisions about providing capital. Since Speyeware’s shares appear to
be actively traded, investors must be capable of using the information
made available by Speyeware to make decisions about the company.
(b) The investors must feel as if the company will show earnings in the
future. They must recognize that information relevant to their
investment choice is indicated by more than Speyeware’s net income.

Upon reviewing the accounts of your company at the end of the year,
I discovered that adjusting entries were not made.
Adjusting entries are made at the end of the accounting period to ensure
that the revenue recognition and expense recognition principles required
under generally accepted accounting principles are followed. The use of
adjusting entries makes it possible to report on the balance sheet the
appropriate assets, liabilities, and owner’s equity at the statement date and
to report on the income statement the proper net income (or loss) for the
year.
Adjusting entries are needed because the trial balance may not contain an
up-to-date and complete record of transactions and events for the following
reasons:

(a) By taking out the bank loan your friend has incurred a liability. You do
not have a liability unless your friend defaults, or unless it becomes
clear that he will default. The loan application may, however, require you
to disclose any guarantees that you have signed, since they represent
potential liabilities.
(c) Losing your job would not create a financial liability, although it would
most certainly reduce your revenues. You are obviously concerned that
you might lose your job, but you don’t have specific information that
would suggest that it will happen. Therefore, you probably don’t have
an obligation to disclose this information to the bank. However, unless
you are relatively certain that you would be able to find suitable
employment relatively quickly, you might want to wait until your job
situation has stabilized before pursuing a loan of this size.
