Accrual Accounting Concepts
FOR INSTRUCTOR USE ONLY
4-5
CHAPTER LEARNING OBJECTIVES
1. Explain the revenue recognition principle and the expense recognition principle. The
revenue recognition principle dictates that companies recognize revenue when a performance
obligation has been satisfied. The expense recognition principle dictates that companies rec-
ognize expenses in the period when the company makes efforts to generate those revenues.
2. Differentiate between the cash basis and the accrual basis of accounting. Under the cash
basis, companies record events only in the periods in which the company receives or pays
cash. Accrual-based accounting means that companies record in the periods in which the
events occur, events that change a company’s financial statements even if cash has not been
exchanged.
3. Explain why adjusting entries are needed, and identify the major types of adjusting en-
tries. Companies make adjusting entries at the end of an accounting period. These entries
ensure that companies record revenues in the period in which the performance obligation is
satisfied and that companies recognize expenses in the period in which they are incurred. The
major types of adjusting entries are prepaid expenses, unearned revenues, accrued revenues,
and accrued expenses.
4. Prepare adjusting entries for deferrals. Deferrals are either prepaid expenses or unearned
revenues. Companies make adjusting entries for deferrals at the statement date to record the
portion of the deferred item that represents the expense incurred or the revenue for services
performed in the current accounting period.
5. Prepare adjusting entries for accruals. Accruals are either accrued revenues or accrued
expenses. Adjusting entries for accruals record revenues earned and expenses incurred in the
current accounting period that have not been recognized through daily entries.
6. Describe the nature and purpose of the adjusted trial balance. An adjusted trial balance is
a trial balance that shows the balances of all accounts, including those that have been adjust-
ed, at the end of an accounting period. The purpose of an adjusted trial balance is to show the
effects of all financial events that have occurred during the accounting period.
7. Explain the purpose of closing entries. One purpose of closing entries is to transfer net in-
come or net loss for the period to Retained Earnings. A second purpose is to “zero–out” all
temporary accounts (revenue accounts, expense accounts, and Dividends) so that they start
each new period with a zero balance. To accomplish this, companies “close” all temporary ac-
counts at the end of an accounting period. They make separate entries to close revenues and
expenses to Income Summary, Income Summary to Retained Earnings, and Dividends to Re-
tained Earnings. Only temporary accounts are closed.
8. Describe the required steps in the accounting cycle. The required steps in the accounting
cycle are (a) analyze business transactions, (b) journalize the transactions, (c) post to ledger
accounts, (d) prepare a trial balance, (e) journalize and post adjusting entries, (f) prepare an
adjusted trial balance, (g) prepare financial statements, (h) journalize and post closing entries,
and (i) prepare a post-closing trial balance.

9. Understand the causes of differences between net income and cash provided by operat-
ing activities. Net income is based on accrual accounting, which relies on the adjustment
process. Net cash provided by operating activities is determined by adding cash received from
operating the business and subtracting cash expended during operations.
*10. Describe the purpose and the basic form of the worksheet. The worksheet is a device to
make it easier to prepare adjusting entries and the financial statements. Companies often pre-
pare a worksheet using on a computer spreadsheet. The sets of columns of the worksheet are,
from left to right, the unadjusted trial balance, adjustments, adjusted trial balance, income
statement, and balance sheet.

TRUE-FALSE STATEMENTS
1. The periodicity assumption states that the economic life of a business entity can be divided
into artificial time periods.
2. The periodicity assumption is often referred to as the expense recognition principle.
3. The revenue recognition principle dictates that revenue be recognized in the accounting pe-
riod in which the performance obligation is satisfied.
4. Expense recognition is tied to revenue recognition.
5. The revenue recognition principle and the expense recognition principle are helpful guides
used in determining net income or net loss for a period.
6. The expense recognition principle requires that efforts be related to accomplishments.
7. Recognizing when an expense contributes to the production of revenue is critical.
8. The expense recognition principle is frequently referred to as the matching principle.
9. Income will always be greater under the cash basis of accounting than under the accrual ba-
sis of accounting.
10. The cash basis of accounting is not in accordance with generally accepted accounting princi-
ples.
11. Adjusting entries are often made because some business events are not recorded as they
occur.
12. Adjusting entries are recorded in the general journal but are not posted to the accounts in the
general ledger.
13. Adjusting entries are not necessary if the trial balance debit and credit columns balances are
equal.

14. An adjusting entry would be made to the revenue account only when cash is received.
15. An adjusting entry to a prepaid expense is required to recognize expired expenses.
16. An adjusting entry always involves two balance sheet accounts.
17. An adjusting entry always involves a balance sheet account and an income statement ac-
count.
18. Revenue received before it is recognized and expenses paid before being used or consumed
are both initially recorded as liabilities.
19. Revenue received before it is recognized and expenses used or consumed before being paid
are both initially recorded as liabilities.
20. Accrued revenues are revenues that have been received but not yet recognized.
21. Accrued revenues are revenues that have been recognized but not yet recorded.
22. The difference between unearned revenue and accrued revenue is that accrued revenue has
been recorded and needs adjusting and unearned revenue has never been recorded.
23. If prepaid costs are initially recorded as an asset, no adjusting entries will be required in the
future.
24. The cost of a depreciable asset less accumulated depreciation reflects the book value of the
asset.
25. The book value of a depreciable asset is always equal to its market value because deprecia-
tion is a valuation technique.
26. Accumulated Depreciation is a liability account and has a credit normal account balance.
27. A liability—revenue account relationship exists with an unearned rent revenue adjusting en-

try.
28. The balances of the Depreciation Expense and the Accumulated Depreciation accounts
should always be the same.
29. Unearned revenue is a prepayment that requires an adjusting entry when services are per-
formed.
30. The adjusting entry for unearned revenue results in an increase (a debit) to an asset account
and an increase (a credit) to a revenue account.
