FOCUS
The Night Agency established its reputation early with unconventional activities. The agency still promotes its “youthful energy,” but it has become an award-winning, highly regarded voice in interactive communication and social media. Its three founders laid a careful groundwork and planned for the success that helps the agency continue to grow.
Analyze Possible answer: Entrepreneurs starting an advertising agency would need to record a variety of expenses, including the costs of equipment, space rental or purchase, payment to employees, and various forms of advertising needed to make the agency known to potential consumers. They would also need to record income from investments and from customer payments.
FOCUS ON THE PHOTO Visual LiteracyPossible answer: Students should note that without complete accurate financial records, businesses do not know how much they have earned and spent. Ask: What are five business transactions that can happen in a workplace of your choice? Possible answer: Answers will vary, depending on the business. For example, a movie theater would have sales of food items, sales of movie tickets, food purchases, payment of fees to show movies, payment of rent or mortgage, etc. A clothing store would buy merchandise on credit, sell merchandise to customers, pay its liabilities to wholesalers, issue payroll checks, and pay mortgage or rent.

FOCUS ON THE PHOTOWith numerous high-profi le clients and projects, the daily fi nancial transactions at a busy digital agency like The Night Agency can include everything from paying for advertising to hiring SEO specialists. Why is it important for any business to keep accurate records of daily transactions?
The Night AgencyEven advertising agencies need to advertise. New York City-based The Night Agency, founded by three Syracuse University graduates, enjoyed early success in 2004 on the streets and in the subways of New York with creative “guerilla-style” campaigns that earned plenty of media attention. Businesses called on The Night Agency for their digital advertising needs; the company has come through with innovative, award-winning campaigns.
Connect to the BusinessAccountants for The Night Agency rely on the activities of the accounting cycle to keep accounting records accurate and in order. The records are kept for a certain period of time, usually a year. Just as most school years do not begin in January, the 12-month accounting cycle can begin in any month, depending on the business.
AnalyzeIf you were just starting an advertising agency, what types of f inancial information would you record?
BIG IDEAEvery transaction you
have with a business is documented in some way.
Companies keep permanent records of transactions.

THE ACCOUNTING CYCLE SECTION 6.1
In earlier chapters you learned to use the accounting equation and T accounts to analyze business transactions. In this chapter you will learn how to record business transactions in a journal.
The Steps of the Accounting CycleWhat Is the Accounting Cycle?
The accounting period of a business is separated into activities called the accounting cycle. These activities help the business keep its accounting records in an orderly fashion. Take a look at Figure 6–1, which describes accounting activities and their sequence.
In this chapter you will use Steps 1, 2, and 3 of the accounting cycle:
1. Collect and verify source documents. 2. Analyze each transaction. 3. Journalize each transaction.
After studying Chapters 3 through 10, you will have covered the entire accounting cycle for a service business organized as a sole proprietorship.

The First Step in the Accounting Cycle: Collecting and Verifying Source Documents
Most business transactions take place during the daily operations of a busi-ness. In the course of one day, a business may pay its rent, place an ad in a local newspaper, contract to have a Web site created, pay its employees, sell products, and purchase new equipment. When a business transaction occurs, a paper is prepared as evidence of that transaction. This paper is a source document.
There are several types of source documents that can be prepared by hand, by computer, or by a machine. The type of source document prepared depends on the nature of the transaction. Figure 6–2 describes and illus-trates commonly used source documents.
InvoiceThe invoice lists specific information about a business transaction involving the buying or selling of an item on account. The invoice contains the date of the transaction; the quantity, description, and cost of each item; and the payment terms.
ReceiptA receipt is a record of cash received by a business. It indicates the date the payment was received, the name of the person or business from whom the payment was received, and the amount of the payment.
MemorandumA memorandum is a brief written message that describes a transaction that takes place within a business. A memorandum is often used if no other source document exists for the business transaction.
Check StubThe check stub lists the same information that appears on a check: the date written, the person or business to whom the check was written, and the amount of the check. The check stub also shows the balance in the checking account before and after each check is written.

The business owner, accountant, or accounting clerk (depending on the size of the business) uses source documents generated by business transactions to keep the records of the business. The accounting cycle starts by collecting and verifying the accuracy of source documents.
The Second Step in the Accounting Cycle: Analyzing Business Transactions
After collecting and verifying source documents, the second step in the accounting cycle can begin—analyzing information on the source docu-ments to determine the debit and credit parts of each transaction.
You have already learned how to analyze business transactions using the rules of debit and credit. When you learned to analyze transactions, you were given a description of each transaction, such as: Zip Delivery Service bought a computer system from Info-Systems Inc. for $3,000 and issued Check 101 in payment. On the job you will not get a description of the transaction. Instead, you must examine a source document to determine what occurred during a business transaction.
The Third Step in the Accounting Cycle: Recording Business Transactions in a Journal
You are now ready to apply information from source documents. The third step in the accounting cycle is to record the debit and credit parts of each business transaction in a journal. A journal is a record of the transactions of a business. Journals are kept in chronological order, that is, the order in which the transactions occur. The process of recording business transactions in a journal is called journalizing. Keeping a journal can be compared to keeping a diary in which all important events are written. A journal is the only place where complete details of a transaction, including both the debit and credit parts, are recorded. The journal is sometimes called the book of original entrybecause it is where transactions are first entered in the accounting system.
Reading Check Why are source documents necessary to a business?
The Accounting PeriodWhat Are the Two Types of Accounting Periods?
As discussed in Chapter 2, accounting records are summarized for a certain period of time, called an accounting period. An accounting period may be for any designated length of time, such as a month, a quar-ter, or a year. Most businesses use a year as their accounting period. An accounting period of 12 months is called a fiscal year. If the fiscal year for a business begins on January 1 and ends on December 31,it is called a calendar year accounting period. Many businesses start their accounting periods in months other than January. For example, department stores often have fiscal years that begin on February 1 and end on January 31 of the following year. School districts usually have fiscal years that begin on July 1 and end on June 30.

C1 Critical ThinkingConnecting to Financial Literacy Remind students that accounting reports summarize information for a specifi c period. Ask: What accounting period do most individuals use in their personal lives? Most individuals use the calendar year because it is required for income tax reporting. OL
C2 Critical ThinkingMaking Inferences Point out that different kinds of businesses use different accounting periods. Ask: Why do school districts usually have a fi scal year running from July 1 to June 30? June usually marks the end of the school year. After June the school’s activity is at its lowest. Ask: Why do department stores typically have accounting periods that begin February 1 and end January 31? Business activity is at its lowest after the holiday rush and postholiday sales. OL

Recording a General Journal EntryHow Do You Record a General Journal Entry?
Many kinds of accounting journals are used in business. One of the most common is the general journal. As its name suggests, the general journalis an all-purpose journal in which all of the transactions of a business may be recorded. Figure 6–3 shows the general journal you will be using throughout the accounting cycle for Zip Delivery Service. The general journal has two amount columns. The first amount column, the amount column on the left, is used to record debit amounts. (Remember that debit means left.) The second amount column, the amount column on the right, is used to record credit amounts. (Remember that credit means right.) Look at Figure 6–3 to find where each component of a general journal entry appears.

Content VocabularyTo introduce the content vocabulary term, ask students these questions:What is a journal? What is an antonym of specialized? Based on these ideas, what do you think the vocabulary
term general journal means?Then have students compare their responses to the Glossary defi nition.
Academic VocabularyTell students that knowing the derivation, or origin, of words can
help us recall and understand their meaning. The word manual comes from a Latin word, manus, meaning “hand.” A manual system of journalizing transactions, then, is done by hand. Ask students to suggest
other contexts in which they use the word manual. How are those uses related to the derivation of the word?

Use these steps to determine the debit and credit parts of each journal entry. Remember, it is always helpful to use T accounts to analyze transactions. After analyzing many transactions, you will find that you need these tools less and less to determine the debit and credit parts of a journal entry. After the complete entry is recorded, verify that the total debits and total credits are equal.
Now, let’s examine business transactions and their analysis for Zip Delivery Service.

Making Inferences Have students compare the journal entries in Business Transactions 1 and 2. Ask: What do you notice about the dates in these transactions? The fi rst entry includes the year; the second entry does not. Ask: What does this tell you about including the year in a general journal entry? The year is written only for the fi rst transaction recorded on each page. OL
R Reading StrategyPredicting For Business Transaction 3, have students cover everything except the fi rst sentence with a sheet of paper. Ask: What item was purchased? a computer Ask: What accounts are affected by the purchase? Computer Equipment, Cash in Bank Refer students to the chart of accounts on p. 82 as needed. BL
W Writing SupportExpository Writing Ask students to think of a time when something was not communicated properly because of hard-to-read writing. Ask: Why is it important to work neatly when journalizing transactions? Have students write a paragraph about the importance of writing clear journal entries. Responses might describe how entries with unclear numbers can cause errors that are carried forward throughout the accounting process. The journal entry is the fi rst place where information is entered, and errors made here will show up later. OL

Drawing Conclusions Point out to students that Sims Corporation is a customer. Ask: Why did Zip not issue an invoice? because it is a cash transaction, not a credit transaction BL
R Reading StrategyReading Source Documents Have students examine Receipt 2 from Business Transaction 8. Ask: Which key words on the receipt indicate that the transaction will affect Zip’s revenue account? “delivery services” Ask: How does revenue affect owner’s equity? Revenue increases owner’s equity. OL
M Math Skill PracticeReading Accounting Forms Have students examine the amount columns in the journal entry in Business Transaction 8. Ask: How do we know where the commas and decimal points occur in a number? Vertical lines and shading in the form take the place of commas and decimal points. OL
Flowcharts A fl owchart is a diagram that shows a step-by-step progression through a process. It usually has connecting lines between steps. Have students develop a fl owchart that shows the steps for completing a simple transaction such as a cash sale and recording the transaction in the general journal. For example, when a customer purchases long-distance moving services, the customer receives a receipt showing the dates, the details of the delivery, and the amount. The business keeps a copy of the receipt. The receipt is the source document used to journalize the transaction.

TEACHR Reading Strategy
Reading Source Documents Have students examine Business Transaction 9. Ask: What type of source document is used? a check stub Ask: Which key word indicates that Zip is paying an expense? “Rent.” Rent is an operating expense. Ask: How does an expense affect owner’s equity? Expenses decrease owner’s equity. OL
M Math Skill PracticeComputing Dates Refer students to Invoice 129 in Business Transaction 10. Ask: What is the due date of this invoice? November 17 October 18−31 � 13 days November 1−17 � 17 days 13 days � 17 days � 30 days AL
C Critical ThinkingDifferentiating Have students look at the source document for Business Transaction 10. Ask: Why is this transaction represented by an invoice rather than a check stub? The purchase was on account rather than for cash. BL
Source Documents Ask students to collect source documents for business transactions in their daily lives for a period of one week. Have students prepare journal entries from the documents they collect. (Samples of source documents that students might collect include cash register receipts, handwritten receipts, employee time cards, paycheck stubs, invoices, credit card receipts, and telephone bills.)

TEACHC Critical Thinking
Drawing Conclusions Refer students to the journal entry in part 7 of Business Transaction 10 at the top of the page. Ask: Why is “Invoice 129” entered? It refers to the source document for this transaction, which is Invoice 129. If more information about the transaction is needed or questions about it should arise, that invoice provides the detailed documentation. OL
R Reading StrategyComparing-Contrasting Have students examine the invoice in Business Transaction 11 and contrast it with the one in Business Transaction 10. Ask: What determines whether an invoice is a sales invoice or a purchase invoice? It depends on whether you are the seller or the buyer. To the seller, it is a sales invoice; to the buyer, a purchase invoice. OL
W Writing SupportWriting Clearly Have students write a short paragraph describing how to journalize Business Transaction 11. Students’ paragraphs should detail the systematic process of transferring information from the source document to the journal. OL

TEACHC1 Critical ThinkingApplying GAAP Have students examine the journal entry in Business Transaction 11. Point out that Zip records the revenue even though the customer has not yet paid for the delivery service. Ask: Which GAAP principle requires this? revenue recognition, discussed in Chapter 5 AL
C2 Critical ThinkingDifferentiating Refer students to Business Transaction 12. Ask: The telephone bill is an expense, but the telephone is an asset. Why? The telephone is property owned by the business. The telephone bill is for something “consumed” by the business during the accounting period. AL
C3 Critical ThinkingDrawing Conclusions Draw the students’ attention to the line numbers that appear on both sides of a general journal page (Lines 32−35 in the general journal at the top of this page and Lines 35−38 at the bottom of this page). Ask: What is the purpose of these numbers? to provide reference points for each line so that it is easier to make entries Ask: Do you skip a line between journal entries? No. Although Line 35 appears blank in the fi rst journal entry, it is used for the second journal entry. OL
Interviewing Employers Encourage students who have part-time jobs to interview their employers regarding how the business keeps track of business transactions. Ask students to obtain samples of blank general journal pages or input forms and computer-generated reports, if possible. Have students share their fi ndings with the class. Students should be able to list the names of the computer applications and describe their use.

SECTION 6.2
TEACHW Writing SupportPersuasive Writing Refer students to Business Transaction 13. Painting the offi ce is an expense that is not directly related to this company’s source of revenue (delivery services). Ask students to think about whether this is a necessary expense. Have students write a paragraph stating and defending their opinion. Responses may include: yes, because the offi ce should have a professional appearance; no, because customers don’t come to the offi ce. OL
M Math Skill PracticeCalculating Amounts Remind students that in Business Transaction 1, the owner deposited $25,000 cash into the business checking account. Have students look at the “Balance carried forward” on Check Stub 105. Ask: How much money has Zip spent so far? $25,000 � $21,625 � $3,375 OL
R Reading StrategyReading Source Documents Tell students to examine the source document for Business Transaction 14. Ask: What is the key word that identifi es this transaction? “withdrawal” Ask: What effect does a withdrawal have on owner’s equity? A withdrawal decreases owner’s equity. OL
Costs The term cost means the amount charged or paid for something. A cost can be for an asset or for an expense. Draw a diagram with headings for COSTS, Assets, and Expenses. Have students review Zip’s costs and determine which are assets and which are expenses. Write the transaction number and description in the appropriate column. Note: Transaction 6 reduced a liability, and 14 was a withdrawal. Neither are costs.

Correcting the General Journal How Do You Correct Errors in the General Journal?
Occasionally, errors occur when journalizing transactions. When an error is discovered, it must be corrected.
In a manual system, an error should never be erased. An erasure looks suspicious. It might be seen as an attempt to cover up a mistake or, worse, to change the accounting records illegally. To correct errors, use a pen and a ruler to draw a horizontal line through the entire incorrect item and write the correct information above the crossed-out error. A correction for an erroneous amount is shown in the general journal as follows:

To correct for an erroneous account name, cross out the incorrect infor-mation and write the correct account name above.
Writing too large When entering data in the general journal, be sure not to write too large. You will leave little space to write in correct data if you have to cross out incorrect information. Account titles and amounts should be written no larger the 3 __ 4 of the line space.

CHAPTER 6
Review and Activities
After You Read
Answering the Essential Question1. The intent of this essential question
is to help students use inquiry to arrive at an understanding of the basic role of accounting. Once they see the importance of effective record-keeping they can generalize and broaden their understanding of fi nancial data.
Vocabulary Check 2. See the glossaries for defi nitions of
these terms. Have students share and discuss their defi nitions.
3. Students’ answers should accurately refl ect the dictionary defi nitions of the Academic Vocabulary terms.
Concept Check4. Step 1: Collect and verify source
documents; Step 2: analyze each transaction; Step 3: journalize each transaction. You could not do Step 3 because you would not have the debit and credit parts.
5. Invoice: date; quantity, description, cost of each item; terms of payment; Receipt: date, person or business paying, amount; Memorandum: date, description of a transaction within a business, amount; Check stub: date, person or business receiving payment, amount, checking account balance
6. It is where transactions are fi rst entered in the accounting records.
7. Analyze the transaction.
8. Date, account debited, debit amount, account credited, credit amount, source document reference or explanation
10. Draw a line through the error; write the correct information above the crossed-out error.
Math11. To calculate net income, subtract overhead
costs from gross income. In this case, overhead is $250 to purchase fl owers. Gross profi t is the total amount of money taken in by a business.
1. Multiply the number of arrangements sold by the retail cost of each arrangement to get the gross profi t.
2. Subtract overhead from gross profi t to calculate the net income.
Gross profi t $1,375 ($55 � 25 � $1375), Net profi t � $1125 ($1375 � $250 � $1,125)
English Language Arts12. Press releases will vary, but should refl ect
students’ thoughts on how a business might become successful.
