Generally AcceptedAccounting Principles

What is the primary objective of financial reporting?

The Entity Concept Example

Assume that Jan decides to open up a petrol station and coffee shop.

The petrol station made $250,000 in profits, while the coffee shop lost $50,000.

The Entity Concept Example

How much money did Jan make? At a first glance, we would assume that

Jan made $200,000. However, by applying the entity concept

we realize that the petrol station made $250,000 while the coffee shop lost $50,000.

Jan’s business operations are also separate from her personal affairs.

The Time Period Concept

Or the ‘accounting time period concept’. Unit of time for which accounting data is

collected and the financial statements prepared.

In Australia many companies prepare their statements for the financial year – from July 1 to June 30 the following year.

Objective 3Objective 3

Use the accounting equationto describe an organisation’s

financial position.

EconomicResources

Claims toEconomicResources

The Accounting Equation

Assets = Liabilities + Owner’s Equity

Assets

What is an asset? It is something a company owns which

has future economic value e.g.– cash– accounts receivable– land and building– equipment– goodwill

Liability

What is a liability? It is something a company owes.

– money– service – legal retainers– product – magazines

E.g.– accounts payable

Owner’s Equity

What is owner’s equity? It is what’s left of the assets after

liabilities have been deducted.– the same as net assets– the owner’s claim on the entity’s assets

Owner Investmentsin the Business

Revenues Expenses

Owner Withdrawalsfrom the Business

Owner’s Equity

Revenues

What are revenues? They are amounts received or to be

received from customers for sales of products or services.

– sales– performance of services– rent received– interest received

ExpensesExpenses

What are expenses? They are amounts that have been paid

or will be paid later for costs that have been incurred to earn revenue.

– salaries and wages– services– supplies used– advertising

Objective 4Objective 4Objective 4Objective 4

Use the accounting equation to analyse

business transactions.

Accounting for Business Transactions

What is a transaction? It is any event that both affects the

financial position of the business and can be reliably recorded.

It is ‘money’ into or out of the business.

1 Paula Lee invests $30,000 to begin Paula Lee eTravel.

2 Lee purchases land, paying $20,000 in cash.

3 She buys office supplies, agreeing to pay $500 in 30 days.

4 She earns and collects $5,500 revenues.

5 Lee performs services, and the client agrees to pay $3,000 within one month.

6 During the month, she pays $3,100 for expenses incurred.

7 Lee pays $300 to the store from which she purchased $500 worth of supplies.

What is the effect of these transactions on the accounting equation?

Owner’s Assets = Liabilities + Equity

1) Cash + $30,000 + $30,0002) Cash – 20,000

Land + 20,0003) Supplies + 500 + 5004) Cash + 5,500 + 5,5005) Receivable + 3,000 + 3,0006) Cash – 3,100 – 3,1007) Cash – 300 – 300 Totals + $35,600 + 200 + $35,400

Notice that the equation always stays in balance.

Each transaction affects at least two accounts, sometimes more.

Some transactions affect only one side of the equation; some affect both sides.

Other transactions that took place were as follows:

The business collected $1,000 from the client.

She sold some land at cost for $9,000. She withdrew $2,100 from the business. (See the final result, p21 of your textbook)
