Summary Outline of a Lesson Plan for Chapter 1
(Equation Approach)
Chapter 01 - An Introduction to Accounting
Copyright © 2015 McGraw-Hill Education. All rights reserved. No reproduction or distribution without the prior written consent of
1-10
I. Distribute copies of Demonstration Problem 1-1.
II. Define assets. Assets are things of value to a business. The value is the capacity of the
asset to be used in the production of greater quantities of other assets.
III. Introduce the accounting equation.
IV. Use the demonstration problem to introduce new terms and to elaborate on the
interrelationships represented by the accounting equation. There are three primary
sources of assets.
A. Event No. 1 introduces common stock (owner interest).
B. Event No. 2 introduces liabilities (creditor interest).
C. Event No. 3 introduces revenue (increase in assets from earnings activities).
There are two asset use transactions.
D. Event No. 4 introduces expenses (decreases in assets from earnings activities).
E. Event No. 5 introduces dividends (wealth transfer).
V. Have students record the events for the second accounting cycle in an accounting
equation.
VI. Time considerations. Introducing the accounting equation, including student
participation with 2015 data, requires approximately one hour.
. VII. Homework assignments. Problem 1-32 is similar to the demonstration problem.
VIII. Introduce financial statements.
A. Income Statement. Because revenues increase and expenses decrease assets, net
income represents the change in wealth resulting from business operations during
the accounting period.
B. Statement of Changes in Stockholders’ Equity. Distinguish between expenses and
dividends.
C. Balance Sheet. This statement summarizes the accounting equation.
D. Statement of Cash Flows. Use the direct method; analyze the cash account.
IX. Have students prepare financial statements for the 2015 transactions.
X. Introduce the horizontal financial statements model.
XI. Filling in the gaps. Remind students they must read the text to fill in the gaps.
XII. Enrichment. If time permits, have students complete ATC Case 1-1 (financial statement
analysis).
Summary Outline of a Lesson Plan for Chapter 1
(Statements Model Approach)
I. Use the problem-based learning case, “Ask Me Anything,” to introduce financial
statements to students.
Chapter 01 - An Introduction to Accounting

1-11
II. Create a collaborative experience where students reach consensus on their
questions. Have each group select a spokesperson.
III. Briefly introduce the basic financial statements. Introduce: 1) the balance sheet, 2)
the income statement, and 3) the statement of cash flows.
IV. Use student input to demonstrate the usefulness of financial statement information.
Ask the group spokespersons to share the questions their group would like to have the
accountant answer. Identify information that would or would not appear in financial
statements. Students should learn to name three financial statements and to describe the
specific elements that appear in each statement.
V. Distribute copies of Demonstration Problem 1-1. Show students how to record
business events directly into a set of financial statements (part b).
VI. Create a financial statements model for Demonstration Problem 1-1 (part a). Present
and explain a financial statements model for the students. Analyze and record the
transactions.
VII. Actively involve the students in learning. After explaining the 2014 accounting
transactions, show how this year’s ending balances become next year’s beginning
balances. Require the students to record the transactions for the 2015 accounting cycle in
the model. Assist as needed. Instruct the faster students to record 2016 transactions.
Have those students who do not finish the third cycle in class complete part a of the
problem as a homework assignment.
VIII. Introduce the accounting equation. Explain that the accounting equation can be
represented, Assets = Claims, and that it is the logic underlying the balance sheet.
IX. Assign homework. Problem 1-34 will give students practice in recording transactions in
horizontal financial statements models.
X. Filling in the gaps. Remind students that they are responsible for reading the textbook to
fill in the gaps because not all information can be presented in class.
XI. Enrichment. If time permits, have students complete ATC Case 1-1 (financial statement
analysis).
