Objective 1 History of Accounting Accounting has a long history. Some scholars claim that writing arose in order to record information. Account records date back to the ancient civilizations of China, Babylonia, Greece and Egypt. The rulers of these civilizations used accounting to keep track of the cost of labor and materials used in building structures like the great pyramids. (Source: Horngren, Harrison and Robinson, 1995) Accounting developed as a result of the information needs of merchants in the city-states of Italy during the 1400s. In that commercial climate a monk, Luca Pacioli, a mathematician and friend of Leonardo da Vinci, published the first known description of double-entry bookkeeping entitled Summa de Arithmetica, Geometria, Proportioni et Proportionalite, which means Everything about Arithmetic, Geometry, and Proportion published in Venice in November 1494. This book contained primarily principles of mathematics and incidentally a set of accounting procedures. The pace of accounting development increased during the Industrial Revolution as the economies of developed countries began to mass-produce goods. Until that time, merchandise was priced based on managers’ hunches about cost but increased competition required merchants to adopt more sophisticated accounting system. In the nineteenth century, the growth of corporations especially those in the railroad and steel industries, spurred the developed of accounting. Corporate owners were no longer necessarily the managers of their business. Managers had to create accounting systems to report to the owners how well their businesses were doing. Government played a role in leading more development in the field of accounting when it started using the income tax. Accounting supplied the concept of income. Also, government at all levels has assumed expanded roles in health, education, labor and economic planning. To ensure that the information that it uses to make decisions is reliable, the government has required strict accountability in the business community. At the beginning of the third millennium, there would still be significant developments in the field of accounting. The great challenge of globalization and the effects of new technologies (e.g. super computers, robotics, inter and intra-net, etc.) pose a shift in the structure and pattern in this field. More and better accounting information are now being required and therefore, accounting, being the means used in communicating business and financial information, must also evolve into a more efficient level. Reference: Workbook in Introductory Accounting for Service Business Accounting as “Language of Business” The primary objectives of the business are:
1. To generate profits 2. To properly manage limited and scarce resources
With these objectives, a business must prepare financial reports and interpret these reports as an aid in decision-making. In making decisions, accounting is used as a tool for communication.

1. Accounting is a service activity. a. Its function is to provide quantitative information, primarily financial in nature,
about economic entities that is intended to be useful in making economic decisions.

i. Business transaction – 1. transactions which are recorded in the financial books. Example
is investment of the owner. ii. Personal transaction –
1. transactions which are not recorded in the financial books. Example is purchase of house and lot of a business owner using his personal money.
iii. Neither business nor personal transaction – 1. Business events that are not recorded in the financial books.
Examples are hiring of employees, death of the owner, entering into a contract etc.
b. Measuring – this accounting process is the assigning of Peso amounts to the accountable economic transactions and events (Valix, 2005)
c. Communicating – is the process of preparing financial statements and interpreting the results thereof
3. Accounting is the art of recording, classifying and summarizing in a significant manner and in terms of money, transactions and events which are, in part at least, of a financial character, and interpreting the results thereof.

LESSON 4 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Study Objectives After studying this lesson, you should be able to: Achievement of Objective
(Put a Check mark) 1 Understand the procedures in preparing the income
statement
2 Understand the procedures in preparing the statement of changes in owner’s equity
3 Understand the procedures in preparing the balance sheet

Objective 2 Statement of Changes in Owner’s Equity To recall, this component presents the changes in capital such as additional investments, withdrawals, net income and/or net loss. The following are the effects to the capital or equity: EFFECTS
Investment Increase Withdrawal Decrease Income Increase Expense Decrease Net Income Increase Net Loss Decrease The Income Statement is connected to this component through Net Income or Net Loss and this component is connected to the Balance Sheet through the Ending balance of the capital account. The equation for computing Ending Capital Balance is
Owner, Capital – beginning + Additional Investments + Net Income
– Withdrawals – Net Loss = Owner, Capital – ending Using the accounting equation, the equation for computing Beginning Capital Balance is
Assets, beginning – Liabilities, beginning = Owner, Capital (beginning)
On the other hand, the alternative equation for Ending Capital Balance is
Assets, ending – Liabilities, ending = Owner, Capital (ending)

Objective 3 Balance Sheet or Statement of Financial Position To recall, the Balance Sheet presents the financial condition of the business through its assets, liabilities and capital / owner’s equity There are 2 forms of Balance Sheet:
1. Account-form a. This form presents assets on the left side and liabilities and capital on the right
side 2. Report-form
a. This form presents assets on the upper side and liabilities and capital on the lower side
Assets Assets are classified into 2:
1. Current Assets a. These refer to assets that are useful to the business within one year. Examples are
Cash, Investment in Trading Securities, Trade and Other Receivables, Merchandise Inventory and Prepaid Expenses.
2. Noncurrent Assets a. These refer to assets that are useful to the business for more than one year.
Examples are Property, Plant and Equipment, Long-term investments and Intangible assets.
Assets are arranged in order of liquidity. Cash is the first line item because it is the most liquid asset. Liabilities Liabilities are classified into 2:
1. Current liabilities a. These refer to liabilities that are payable and will mature within one year.
Examples are Trade and Other Payables and Current-portion of long-term notes payable.
2. Noncurrent liabilities a. These refer to liabilities that are payable and will mature beyond one year.
Examples are Noncurrent-portion of long-term notes payable, Mortgage Payable, and Bonds Payable.
Liabilities are arranged in order of maturity. For Noncurrent liabilities, the order is usually Notes Payable, Mortgage Payable and Bonds Payable. The reason is Notes Payable will normally mature first before mortagage and bonds. Capital or Owner’s Equity This represents the ending balance of capital from the statement of changes in owner’s equity.

Net realizable value represents the estimated amount to be collected from the clients / customers after deducting doubtful accounts. After Allowance for Doubtful Accounts, the next line item is Notes Receivable then followed by account titles which have the word “Receivable”. They are arranged from highest to lowest since their nature are the same. “Receivable” accounts are synonymous with “Accrued Income”. For example, Interest receivable is the same with Accrued Interest Income. The last line item is Advances to employees. Prepaid Expenses The items for this category are arranged from highest to lowest since their nature are the same. Property, Plant and Equipment The tabular presentation for this note is as follows:

LESSON 8 ACCOUNTING FOR PROMISSORY NOTES
Study Objectives After studying this lesson, you should be able to: Achievement of Objective
(Put a Check mark) 1 Understand the concept of promissory notes and its parts
and prepare the journal entries in relation to issuance of promissory notes and payment on the maturity date
2 Understand the concept of discounting of customer’s note and prepare the necessary journal entries
3 Understand the concept of discounting of own note and prepare the necessary journal entries
Objective 1 Promissory Notes A promissory note is an unconditional promise in writing made by one person to another, signed by the maker, engaging to pay on demand or at a fixed or determinable future time a sum certain in money to order or to bearer (Valix, 2005). Parts of a Promissory note
March 24, 2009 I promise to pay X, P 5,000 on April 7, 2009 with 12% interest. (Sgd) Y
1. Date of the note – March 24, 2009 2. Maturity date – April 7, 2009 3. Maker – Y 4. Payee – X 5. Face value / Principal – P 5,000 6. Interest rate – 12%
Given the above promissory note, how much is the Maturity value?

Maturity value = Principal + Interest
Interest = Principal x Interest rate x Term / 360
Term refers to the period between the date of the note and the maturity date. 360 represents the number of days in a year in accordance to Banker’s rule. In the above example the term is 14 days. 7 days in March (31-24) and 7 days in April. For years 2000, 2004, 2008 and so on, remember that there are 29 days in February.
Interest = 5,000 x 12% x 14/360
= 23

Dishonoring of promissory note When the maker fails to pay the principal and interest on the maturity date, then the promissory note is considered dishonored. For the journal entry in the books of the maker, instead of crediting Cash, Accounts payable is credited. On the other hand in the books of the payee, instead of debiting Cash, Accounts receivable is debited. Maturity Date

Discounting of promissory notes When a promissory note is negotiable, the payee may obtain cash before maturity date by discounting the note at a bank or other financing company. To discount the note, the payee must endorse it. Thus, legally the payee becomes an endorser and the bank becomes an endorsee (Valix, 2005). Two types of discounting
1. Discounting of customer’s note 2. Discounting of own note
Objective 2 Discounting of Customer’s note Using the above example, assume that the maker discounted the note on April 2 at a discount rate of 15%. The necessary equations for note discounting are as follows:
Interest on discounting = Maturity value x Discount rate x Discount period / 360
Cash proceeds = Maturity value – Interest on discounting
Discount period refers to the period between the discount date and the maturity date. For this example, the discount period is 5 days (April 7 – 2).
Interest on discounting = 5,023 x 15% x 5 / 360
= 10
Cash proceeds = Maturity value – Interest on discounting = 5,023 – 10
= 5,013

Types of endorsement
1. Endorsement with recourse a. This type requires the endorser to pay the endorsee if the maker dishonors the
note. This is the contingent or secondary liability of the endorser.
2. Endorsement without recourse a. This type does not impose contingent liability on the endorser.
In the absence of any evidence to the contrary, endorsement is assumed to be with recourse (Valix, 2005). Assume that in the above example, the maker dishonored the note and the bank charged a protest fee of P 500. Maturity Date

Objective 3 Discounting of own note In this type of discounting, the maker issues a promissory note to obtain cash. Interest on discounting is deducted in advance and is debited using the account title “Discount on Notes Payable”. Example 1: On July 14, 2009, for money borrowed, X discounted its own 30-day, 12% P 10,000 note with Y.
Interest on discounting = Principal x Interest rate x Term / 360
= 10,000 x 12% x 30 / 360 = 100

Objective 1 Adjusting Entries Adjusting entries refer to journal entries made at the end of the year for the following reasons:
1. Accrued income a. There may be unrecorded income and there is a need to accrue income or
recognize receivables. 2. Accrued expense
a. There may be unrecorded expenses and there is a need to accrue expenses or recognize payables.
3. Prepaid expense a. There may be a consumed or used portion in the recorded prepaid expense or
there may be an unconsumed or unused portion in the recorded expense. 4. Unearned income
a. There may be an earned portion in the recorded unearned income or there may be an unearned portion in the recorded income.
5. Depreciation a. There is a need to provide depreciation for depreciable fixed assets.
6. Doubtful accounts a. There is a need to provide estimated doubtful accounts in relation to accounts
receivable. Objective 2 Accrued income To recall, accrued income refers to income earned but not yet received. The following are the examples of accrued income to be recognized at year-end:
1. Accrued commission income a. It is possible that the company has already rendered the service pertaining to
commission but it has not yet received the commission as of year-end.
2. Accrued rent income

a. It is possible that the company or lessor has already earned the rent but it has not yet received the rent payment as of year-end.
3. Accounts receivable a. It is possible that the company has not yet recorded as of year-end the service
rendered. 4. Accrued interest income
a. It is possible that the company has not yet recorded the interest that is earned in relation to notes receivable from the date of the promissory note until year-end date.
Accrued income is the same with receivable. For example, accrued interest income is the same with interest receivable. Pro-forma Entry

LESSON 10 ACCRUED EXPENSE
Study Objectives After studying this lesson, you should be able to: Achievement of Objective
(Put a Check mark) 1 Recall the concept of accrued expense and prepare
adjusting entry in relation to accrued expense
Objective 1 Accrued expense To recall, accrued expense refers to expense incurred but not yet paid. The following are the examples of accrued expense to be recognized at year-end:
1. Accrued interest expense a. It is possible that the company has not yet recorded the interest that is incurred in
relation to notes payable from the date of the promissory note until year-end date. 2. Accrued salaries and wages expense
a. It is possible that as of year-end, the company has not yet paid the employees because the year-end date is not the same with the payroll date.
3. Accrued rent expense a. It is possible that the company or lessee has already incurred the rent but it has
not yet paid the rent as of year-end. 4. Accrued utilities expense
a. It is possible that as of year-end, the company has not yet paid the utilities or the billing statements of the utilities have not yet received by the company.
5. Accrued taxes and licenses expense a. It is possible that as of year-end, the company has already earned from services
rendered and sale of goods but has not yet paid the related taxes.
Accrued expense is the same with payable. For example, accrued interest expense is the same with interest payable. Accrued expense is the opposite of accrued income. When one party recognize accrued income, the other party should recognize accrued expense. Pro-forma Entry

LESSON 13 DEPRECIATION
Study Objectives After studying this lesson, you should be able to: Achievement of Objective
(Put a Check mark) 1 Understand the concept of depreciation and its kinds
2 Enumerate the factors of depreciation and compute depreciation using the straight line method
Objective 1 Concept of depreciation Property, plant and equipment, except land, normally are usable for a number of years after which they have relatively little value either for service or for sale. The difference between the original cost of a property and any remaining value when it is retired or worn out is an expense that should be distributed to the periods during which the asset is used (Valix, 2000). Depreciation accounting
- Is a system of accounting which aims to distribute the cost of the depreciable fixed asset less salvage value, if any, over the estimated useful life of the asset in a systematic and rational manner. It is a process of allocation, not of valuation (Valix, 2000).
- The objective of depreciation accounting is to have each period benefitting from the use of the asset bear an equitable share of the asset cost (Valix, 2000).
Depreciation
- Is the portion of the cost of the asset charged as expense during an accounting period (Valix, 2000).
Kinds of depreciation (Valix, 2000)
1. Physical depreciation a. Is related to the depreciable asset’s wear and tear and deterioration over a period.
This also results to the ultimate retirement of the property or termination of the service of the asset.
b. Physical depreciation may be caused by: i. Wear and tear due to frequent use
ii. Passage of time due to nonuse iii. Action of the elements such as wind, sunshine, rain or dust iv. Accidents such as fire, flood, earthquake and other natural disaster v. Diseases in animals and wooden buildings
2. Functional or economic depreciation
a. Arises from obsolescence or inadequacy of the asset to perform efficiently. i. Obsolescence may arise from the following:

Confidentiality Requirement This material is prohibited for reproduction or distribution without prior consent from the author.
67
1. When there is no future demand for the product which the depreciable asset produces
2. When a new depreciable asset becomes available and the new asset can perform the same function for substantially less cost
ii. Inadequacy arises when the asset is no longer useful to the firm because of an increase in the volume of operations.
Objective 2 Factors of depreciation (Valix, 2000) In order to properly compute the amount of depreciation to be charged as expense during an accounting period, three factors are necessary, namely:
1. Cost 2. Scrap value
a. Is the amount estimated to be recovered when the asset is retired from use. b. It is also known as Residual value or Salvage value. c. From the practical standpoint, the scrap value is often considered as zero because
the valuation is usually very small or not capable of estimation. 3. Estimated useful life
a. Is the expected service or economic life of the asset. Straight line method of depreciation (Valix, 2000) Under the straight line method, the annual depreciation charge is calculated by allocating the amount to be depreciated equally over the number of years of estimated useful life. The formula for the computation of the annual depreciation following the straight line method is as follows:
Annual depreciation =
Cost minus scrap Life in years
Cost minus scrap value equals Depreciable cost. Depreciable cost multiplied by the Annual depreciation rate also gives the amount of annual depreciation. The Annual depreciation rate is determined by dividing 100% by the life of the asset in years. For example, if the life of the asset is 5 years, then the depreciation rate is 20% (100% / 5). The straight line method is based on the theory that periods benefited by the use of the asset should bear an equal or equitable share of the asset cost because the straight line approach considers depreciation as a function of time rather than as a function of usage.

LESSON 14 DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS
Study Objectives After studying this lesson, you should be able to: Achievement of Objective
(Put a Check mark) 1 Understand the concept of doubtful accounts
2 Compute doubtful accounts using the percent of accounts receivable approach
3 Compute doubtful accounts using the aging analysis approach
Objective 1 Accounting for Doubtful Accounts Business enterprises sell on credit rather than only for cash to increase total service income or sales and thereby increase income. However, an enterprise that sells on credit assumes the risk that some clients or customers will not pay their accounts (Valix, 2005). When an account becomes uncollectible, the enterprise has sustained a bad debt loss. This loss is simply one of the costs of doing business on credit. Two methods are followed in accounting for this bad debt loss, namely:
1. Allowance method 2. Direct write-off method
For ACTBAS1, only the allowance method will be discussed. Allowance method The allowance method requires recognition of doubtful accounts expense even if some of the accounts receivable are doubtful of collection. The adjusting entry to recognize doubtful accounts is:

72
Basis for computing doubtful accounts There are two bases or approaches for computing doubtful accounts.
1. Balance sheet approach a. Percent of Accounts receivable balance b. Aging analysis
2. Income statement approach For ACTBAS1, only the balance sheet approach will be discussed. Objective 2 Percent of Accounts receivable balance A certain rate is multiplied to the accounts receivable balance in order to get the required allowance balance. The rate used is usually determined from past experience of the company (Valix, 2005). Example 1: Assume accounts receivable balance of P 2,000,000 and doubtful accounts are estimated to be 3% of accounts receivable are given in 2009 financial records
Adjusting entry
Date Particulars Debit Credit 2009 Dec 31 Doubtful accounts expense 60,000 Allowance for doubtful accounts 60,000 (2,000,000 x 3%) Recognition of doubtful accounts Note xx – Trade and Other Receivables Accounts receivable P 2,000,000 Less: Allowance for doubtful accounts 60,000 P 1,940,000 Example 2: Assume accounts receivable balance of P 2,000,000 and doubtful accounts are estimated to be 3% of accounts receivable are given in 2010 financial records. Assume also that Allowance for doubtful accounts has a balance of P 10,000 before adjustment.
Adjusting entry

Note xx – Trade and Other Receivables Accounts receivable P 2,000,000 Less: Allowance for doubtful accounts 60,000 P 1,940,000 Objective 3 Aging analysis The aging of accounts receivable involves an analysis of the accounts where they are classified into not due or past due. Past due accounts are further classified in terms of the length of the period they are past due. The most common classifications are:
1. Not due 2. 1 to 30 days past due 3. 31 to 60 days past due 4. 61 to 90 days past due 5. 91 to 120 days past due 6. 121 to 180 days past due 7. 181 to 365 days past due 8. More than 1 year past due 9. Bankrupt or under litigation
The allowance is then determined by multiplying the total of each classification by the rate or percent loss experienced by the company for each category. The major argument for the use of this method is the more accurate and scientific computation of the allowance for doubtful accounts, and consequently, the accounts receivable are fairly presented in the balance sheet at net realizable value (Valix, 2005). Example: The following data are summarized in aging the accounts at the end of the period:
Accounts receivable balance
Experience rate
Required allowance
Not due
500,000 1% 5,000
1 to 30 days past due
300,000 2% 6,000
31 to 60 days past due
200,000 4% 8,000
61 to 90 days past due
100,000 7% 7,000
91 to 180 days past due
50,000 10% 5,000
181 to 365 days past due
30,000 30% 9,000
More than 1 year past due

The amount computed by aging of accounts receivable represents the required allowance for doubtful accounts at the end of the period. Thus, if the Allowance for doubtful accounts has a credit balance of P 10,000 before adjustment, the doubtful accounts expense is determined as follows:
Adjusting entry
Date Particulars Debit Credit 2009 Dec 31 Doubtful accounts expense 40,000 Allowance for doubtful accounts 40,000 50,000 – 10,000 Recognition of doubtful accounts Note xx – Trade and Other Receivables Accounts receivable P 1,200,000 Less: Allowance for doubtful accounts 40,000 P 1,160,000 When is an account past due? The credit terms will determine whether an account is past due. For instance, if the credit terms were 2/10 n/30, and the account is 45 days old, it is considered to be 15 days past due. Net realizable value
- This represents the estimated amount to be collectible from the clients or customers after deducting the allowance for doubtful accounts.
