In preparing the income statement from the end-of-period spreadsheet (work sheet), what is the amount of net income or net loss?

15. Example Exercise 4-2 (continued) A net income of $78,700 ($678,450 – $599,750) would be reported. When the Debit column of the Balance Sheet columns is more than the Credit column, net income is reported. If the Credit column exceeds the Debit column, a net loss is reported.

20. Cash and other assets that are expected to be converted into cash, sold or used up usually within a year or less, through the normal operations of the business, are called current assets. • Cash • Accounts Receivable • Supplies

21. Property, plant, and equipment (also called fixed assets) include assets that depreciate over a period of time. Land is an exception as it is not subject to depreciation. • Equipment • Machinery • Buildings • Land

22. Liabilities that will be due within a short time (usually one year or less) and that are to be paid out of current assets are called current liabilities. • Accounts payable • Wages payable • Interest payable • Unearned fees

23. Liabilities not due for a long time (usually more than one year) are long-term liabilities. • Notes payable • Mortgage payable • Bond payable

24. Owner’s equity is the owner’s right to the assets of the business. Owner’s equity is added to the total liabilities, and the total must be equal to the total assets.

30. Closing Entries To report amounts for only one period, temporary accounts should have zero balances at the beginning of the period. At the end of the period the revenue and expense account balances are transferred to Income Summary.

31. Closing Entries The balanceof Income Summary is then transferred to the owner’s capital account. The balance of the owner’s drawing account is also transferred to the owner’s capital account. The entries that transfer these balances are called closing entries.
