Expenditures benefiting more than one Accounting period Many expenditures made by a business benefit two or more accounting periods. In such situation we need to apportion the stated expenditure for matching it with the related revenue.
Adjusting Entries:The next step in the Accounting Cycle Many transactions affect the revenue or expenses of two or more accounting periods. How do the accountants allocate the cost of these assets to expense over a span of several accounting periods? The answer is Adjusting entries.
Adjusting Entries: Adjusting Entries are made at the end of each accounting period. Such entries allocate the actual revenue earned in a specific accounting period and relevant expenses. There are several different types of adjusting entries; in fact, many businesses make a dozen or more adjusting entries at the end of every accounting period.
