Lecture Objectives
At the completion of this lecture you should be able to:– Understand what is a bad debt;– Estimate bad debts expense and prepare adjusting entries
accordingly;– Prepare journal entries to write off a bad debt and to
reinstate a bad debt recovered;– Understand what is depreciation;– Apply the most appropriate depreciation method in
calculating depreciation; and– Prepare adjusting entries to record depreciation expense
under the alternative methods

Why do we have Adjusting Entries?
• Recall, we have adjusting entries because of:
• Accrual accounting• Recognise revenue when earned and expenses when incurred
• Accounting period assumption• Life of a business divided into accounting periods• An accurate profit figure for that period is required
• Extends to the following adjusting entries:
• Bad and doubtful debts; and
• Depreciation
![Page 9: Week 5 Student](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051415/55cf9412550346f57b9f6f9a/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

What are Bad Debts?
• When selling goods on credit, a certain percentage of debtors will fail to pay their debts • Eventually they will be written off as bad
![Page 10: Week 5 Student](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051415/55cf9412550346f57b9f6f9a/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
10
How do we Account for Bad Debts?
(1) Direct Write-off Method• When obvious a debtor will not pay their debt it is declared
bad and written off as an expense:
• Not an adjusting entry!!• Inconsistent with the matching principle
• Some bad debts occur in an accounting period later than the credit sale
![Page 11: Week 5 Student](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051415/55cf9412550346f57b9f6f9a/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

Example – Matching Principle
20121 June Credit sale of $100 to M James30 June Statement of account sent to M James30 June The end of the accounting period1 Aug M James should have settled his account with the
business but has failed to do so31 Aug A reminder letter is sent asking
payment within the next thirty days30 Sept A letter threatening court action is
sent to M. James20 Oct The account is declared bad
![Page 12: Week 5 Student](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051415/55cf9412550346f57b9f6f9a/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

• Revenue recognised in June, but bad debt is not expensed until October (in the next accounting period)
• Effect is a profit distortion for each accounting period (no proper matching)
• Need to look into the future and foresee future bad debts

Credit Sale End of accounting period

How do we Account for Bad Debts?
(2) Allowance Method• Estimate made at the end of the accounting period of
the accounts receivable expected to be uncollectable • Recognised as an expense with the following adjusting
entry:
Preferred method in Australia
![Page 14: Week 5 Student](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051415/55cf9412550346f57b9f6f9a/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
14
What Type of Account is Allowance for Doubtful Debts?
• Allowance for doubtful debts account is a contra asset (negative asset)
• Decreases the amount of accounts receivable shown in the balance sheet
• For example:
![Page 15: Week 5 Student](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051415/55cf9412550346f57b9f6f9a/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
15
How do we Estimate Bad Debts Expense?
(1) Estimate based on credit sales– Percentage of sales made in the period is estimated to be
bad E.g., 1% of credit sales
– Is the amount of the adjusting entry (irrespective of Allowance for doubtful debts balance)
![Page 16: Week 5 Student](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051415/55cf9412550346f57b9f6f9a/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

Student Task
Example
Past experience has shown that bad debts over recent years average 2% of credit sales

How do we Estimate Bad and Doubtful Debts Expense?
(2) Estimate based on an aged analysis of accounts receivable– Assumes that the longer the accounts receivable is
outstanding the more likely it will become bad– Determines the closing balance of Allowance for
doubtful debts AND NOT the amount of the adjusting entry!

What Happens when the Debt Becomes Bad?
• No NEW expense when the debt actually becomes bad• It is written off:
• This is not an adjusting entry!• DR to Allowance for doubtful debts AND NOT to Bad debts expense
• Expense already recognised• Net accounts receivable balance remains the same before and after
the write off

Change in Allowance
Allowance for doubtful debts may also be increased after bad debts have been written off– Restores balance to estimate of ‘future’ bad debts – Prevents possible DR balance in Allowance for doubtful
debts
Allowance for doubtful debts may be increased (or decreased) upon a re-assessment of credit risk– Adjust to reflect likelihood of debts becoming bad

What Happens when we Recover a Bad Debt?
• Accounts that have been written off may become recoverable– E.g., administrators declare business can repay “20 cents in the
dollar”• Two step process:
(1) Reinstate the amount outstanding as follows:
(2) Record the receipt of cash from the debtor:
– Bad debts expense is not affected at all!

38
What is Depreciation?
Non-current assets contribute to revenue over more than one year
Subject to wear and tear, so they contribute to revenue over a finite number of years
– What about land? Depreciation allocates the cost of an asset over the years of which the
asset contributes to revenue
– Recorded as an expense via an adjusting entry at balance date
– Consistent with the matching principle
Depreciation is NOT a valuation process
![Page 39: Week 5 Student](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051415/55cf9412550346f57b9f6f9a/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
39
How do we Account for Depreciation?
Different methods available to match the cost of using the asset with the revenue generated
Method chosen should reflect the pattern of use of the asset The methods available include:
– Straight-line
– Reducing balance
– Units of production
![Page 40: Week 5 Student](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051415/55cf9412550346f57b9f6f9a/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)

41
What Type of Account is Accumulated Depreciation?
• Accumulated depreciation is a contra asset (negative asset)• Is the amount of depreciation recorded over the life of the asset
to date• Is deducted from the cost of the asset in the balance sheet:• E.g.,
* This amount is known as the book value, written down value, carrying amount, or unallocated cost
![Page 42: Week 5 Student](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051415/55cf9412550346f57b9f6f9a/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
42
How do we Calculate Depreciation?
(1) Straight-line Method Allocates an equal amount each period for the life of the asset Applied to those assets that contribute equally to revenue each
period over their useful life – E.g, Office furniture
Depreciation calculated using the following formula:
What do these terms mean?
![Page 43: Week 5 Student](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051415/55cf9412550346f57b9f6f9a/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)

45
(2) Reducing Balance Method Allocates a reducing amount each period for the life of the asset Applied to those assets that contribute more to revenue in the
early stages of their lives
– E.g., Computers; Machinery Depreciation determined by allocating a set percentage to the
book value of the asset Depreciation calculated using the following formula:

(3) Units-of-production Method Relates depreciation to use rather than to time Appropriate where use of the asset varies from period to
period and usage can be defined– E.g., Motor Vehicle (kilometres); Photocopier (hours)
Depreciation calculated using the following formula:

We will continue to look at depreciation related issues including:– What is included in the cost of an asset?– When do we start depreciating?– How do we revalue an asset?– What happens when we sell an asset?
Emphasis will also be placed on the closing and reversing process
