reasons for this updating and give an example of each.
ANSWER:
1. Some expenses are not recorded daily. For example, the daily use of supplies
would require many entries with small amounts. Also, the amount of supplies
on hand on a day-to-day basis is normally not needed.
2. Some revenues and expenses are incurred as time passes rather than as
separate transactions. For example, rent received in advance (unearned rent)
expires and becomes revenue with the passage of time. Likewise, prepaid
insurance expires and becomes an expense with the passage of time.
3. Some revenues and expenses may be unrecorded at the end of the accounting
period. For example, a company may have provided services to customers
that it has not billed or recorded at the end of the accounting period. Likewise,
a company may not pay its employees until the next accounting period
even though the employees have earned their wages in the current period.
