CHAPTER LEARNING OBJECTIVES
1. Prepare a worksheet. The steps in preparing a worksheet follows. (a) Prepare a trial
balance on the worksheet, (b) Enter the adjustments in the adjustments columns, (c) Enter
adjusted balances in the adjusted trial balance columns, (d) Extend adjusted trial balance
amounts to appropriate financial statement columns, and (e) Total the statement columns,
compute net income (or net loss), and complete the worksheet.
2. Explain the process of closing the books. Closing the books occurs at the end of an
accounting period. The process is to journalize and post closing entries and then underline
and balance all accounts. In closing the books, companies make separate entries to close
revenues and expenses to Income Summary, Income Summary to Retained Earnings, and
Dividends to Retained Earnings. Only temporary accounts are closed.
3. Describe the content and purpose of a post-closing trial balance. A post-closing trial
balance contains the balances in permanent accounts that are carried forward to the next
accounting period. The purpose of this trial balance is to prove the equality of these
balances.
4. State the required steps in the accounting cycle. The required steps in the accounting
cycle are (1) analyze business transactions, (2) journalize the transactions, (3) post to ledger
accounts, (4) prepare a trial balance, (5) journalize and post adjusting entries, (6) prepare
an adjusted trial balance, (7) prepare financial statements, (8) journalize and post closing
entries, and (9) prepare a post-closing trial balance.
5. Explain the approaches to preparing correcting entries. One way to determine the
correcting entry is to compare the incorrect entry with the correct entry. After comparison,
the company makes a correcting entry to correct the accounts. An alternative to a correcting
entry is to reverse the incorrect entry and then prepare the correct entry.
6. Identify the sections of a classified balance sheet. A classified balance sheet
categorizes assets as current assets; long-term investments; property, plant, and
equipment; and intangibles. Liabilities are classified as either current or long-term. There is
also a stockholders’ equity section, which varies with the form of business organization.
a7. Prepare reversing entries. Reversing entries are the opposite of the adjusting entries
made in the preceding period. Some companies choose to make reversing entries at the
beginning of a new accounting period to simplify the recording of later transactions related to
the adjusting entries. In most cases, only accrued adjusting entries are reversed.

TRUE-FALSE STATEMENTS

journalized.
3. If total credits in the income statement columns of a worksheet exceed total debits, the
enterprise has net income.

prepared because financial position and net income are shown on the worksheet.
5. The adjustments on a worksheet can be posted directly to the accounts in the ledger from
the worksheet.
6. The adjusted trial balance columns of a worksheet are obtained by subtracting the
adjustment columns from the trial balance columns.
7. The balance of the depreciation expense account will appear in the income statement
debit column of a worksheet.
8. Closing entries are unnecessary if the business plans to continue operating in the future
and issue financial statements each year.
9. The dividends account is closed to the Income Summary account in order to properly
determine net income (or loss) for the period.
10. After closing entries have been journalized and posted, all temporary accounts in the

next accounting period.
14. Closing entries are journalized after adjusting entries have been journalized.
15. The amounts appearing on an income statement should agree with the amounts
appearing on the post-closing trial balance.
16. The post-closing trial balance is entered in the first two columns of a worksheet.
17. A business entity has only one accounting cycle over its economic existence.
18. The accounting cycle begins at the start of a new accounting period.
19. Both correcting entries and adjusting entries always affect at least one balance sheet
account and one income statement account.
20. Correcting entries are made any time an error is discovered even though it may not be at
the end of an accounting period.
21. An incorrect debit to Accounts Receivable instead of the correct account Notes
Receivable does not require a correcting entry because total assets will not be misstated.
22. In a corporation, Retained Earnings is a part of stockholders' equity.
23. A company's operating cycle and fiscal year are usually the same length of time.
24. Cash and supplies are both classified as current assets.

balance sheet accounts.

Under Protection provides underground storage facilities for companies desiring off-site storage
of sensitive documents, computer records, and other items. They have developed a sophisticated
surveillance and security system which they initially used in their own facilities, and have recently
started to market elsewhere as well.
The underground storage facilities are made from natural caves in some instances (reinforced
and modified as appropriate) and from excavations of natural rock formations in others. The land
was purchased over ten years ago for a total of $2.5 million. The modifications have cost
approximately $15 million more. The company has never depreciated its storage facilities
because the market value of the property has continued to rise. Presently, the market price is
between $30 and $40 million.

Betsy Brantley, a new accounting manager, questioned this depreciation policy. Will Gray, the
controller, has told her that she needn't worry about it. For one thing, he says, this is really a
special form of Land account, which should not be depreciated at all. For another, this is a
privately held company, and so they don't need to worry about misleading investors. All the
owners know about and approve the depreciation policy.
