  1. Lecture 4 Income Statement: Cash versus Accrual Accounting

  2. Firm of the Day

  3. Goals of Today’s Class • Better understanding of Revenues and Expenses • Better understanding of the Income Statement • Better understanding of cash versus accrual accounting

  4. Asset Liability or Owners’ Equity (Debit) (Credit) (Debit) (Credit) Expenses/Losses Revenues/Gains (Debit) (Credit) Review: Debits and Credits Remember RE is an Owners’ Equity Account Retained Earnings + - - + Memorize this for Assets Flip it for Liabs + OE An increase in an Expense is a decrease in Retained Earnings. (We decrease Owners’ Equity accounts with a debit.) An increase in a Revenue is an increase in Retained Earnings. (We increase Owners’ Equity accounts with a credit.) + +

  5. Review of Shareholders’ Equity • What is “contributed capital”? • The initial investment of owners • e.g., common stock • What is “retained earnings”? • The cumulative net income of the company that has not been distributed as dividends.

  6. Peeking Ahead -- Contributed Capital: Common Stock Accounting for initial public issuance of common stock • Very simple if stock has no par value 1. Debit Cash for the amount of the contribution 2. Credit Common Stock for the amount of the contribution Example: Sell 2,000 shares of “no par common” for $8 per share (Debit) Cash $16,000 (Credit) Common Stock $16,000

  7. Peeking Ahead -- Contributed Capital: Common Stock Accounting for initial public issuance of common stock • More complicated if stock has a stated par value 1. Debit Cash for the amount of the contribution 2. Credit Common Stock for par value only 3. Credit Other Paid in Capital for the difference (contribution – par value) Example: Sell 2,000 shares of “$1 par common” for $8 per share (Debit) Cash $16,000 (Credit) Common Stock (2,000 shs. @ $1 par) $2,000 (Credit) Other Paid in Capital $14,000

  8. Balance Sheet Equation At = Lt + SEt At = Lt + CSt + APICt +REt At-1 = Lt-1 + CSt-1 + APICt-1 +REt-1 (At -At-1)= (Lt -Lt-1 )+ (CSt - CSt-1 )+ ( APICt - APICt-1 )+ ( REt - REt-1 ) ∆A = ∆L + ∆CS + ∆APIC + ∆RE ∆A = ∆L + ∆CS + ∆APIC + Net Income - Dividends ∆A = ∆L + ∆CS + ∆APIC + Revenue - Expenses- Dividends

  9. Income Statement • Reports Net Income earned by the business over a period of time as a result of its profit-directed activities. • Changes in shareholders’ equity due to profit-directed activities during an accounting period. • Income statement accounts are temporary accounts. • Net Income = Revenues – Expenses

  10. Accrual Accounting Goal is to account for all transactions that economically occurred in the pd. To document fundamental economics, we employ the accrual method The accrual method is best contrasted with the cash method of accounting through an example: On December 29th, Best Buy sells and delivers an HDTV worth $2,000 Customer purchases the TV using 6 month financing Best Buy prepares its income statement and balance sheet on December 31st (this assumes a December fiscal year end) Did the sale officially occur in the period even though no cash was received? Cash basis: No. Accrual Basis: Yes.

  11. Accrual Accounting (continued) To properly account for periodic income, recognize revenues when earned and expenses when incurred, even though no cash has been exchanged This concept is sometimes called the “matching principle”, where revenues are matched with expenses in the period in which they are incurred e.g., salaries are often not paid to employees until a week or two after employees have provided their services At the end of a period, firms must recognize earned, yet still unpaid, salary expense to correctly match the expense to the period in which the services were actually used To allow for proper accounting of revenues and expenses, we employ two temporary holding accounts called Receivables and Payables When revenues are earned, but no cash is received, we record an increase to a Receivable to reflect cash that we are owed in the future When expenses are incurred, but no cash is paid, we record an increase to a Payable to reflect cash that we owe in the future

  12. When and how do we identify and measure revenues and expenses? Timing • Cash Basis REVENUES with the increase in cash resulting from the sale of goods or services, and EXPENSES with the decrease in cash associated with sales activities. Purchase inventory for resale, on credit, Cost = $10 Sell and deliver inventory on credit, Price = $20 Pay supplier $10 Collect $20 from customer

  14. What is the downside to Cash Basis Accounting? • Reflects the cost and benefit of operating transactions only when cash payments and cash receipts occur: - Delay in recognizing revenues until cash is received, despite the fact that the store has performed its primary mission: sale of inventory. - Poor matching of the true costs of generating revenues to the periods in which they are generated.

  15. 2. Accrual Basis - Revenues • Revenues and expenses are not necessarily associated with the cash inflows and cash outflows. • Identification: Revenue is the increase in assets (not necessarily cash) and/or decrease in liabilities resulting from the principal income generating activities of the business -- selling goods or services in the ordinary course of business.

  16. Timing (Recognition): Revenues:Benefits earned by an entity when the following criteria are satisfied: 1. The entity has delivered its goods/services to the customer. • There is persuasive evidence of an arrangement for customer payment. • The price is fixed or determinable. • Collection of cash (or other benefits) is reasonably assured, though there may still be some uncertainty (uncollectible accounts, warranties). The degree of uncollectability should be estimated with reasonable reliability. • Revenue is recorded according to the revenue principles, regardless of when cash is received!

  17. 2. Accrual Basis - Expenses • Revenues and expenses are not necessarily associated with the cash inflows and cash outflows. • Identification Expense is a decrease in assets (not necessarily cash) and/or an increase in liabilities, in a period, for the purpose of generating revenue in the period

  18. Timing (matching) Expenses are recognized • When the associated revenue is recognized • Matched to the timing of revenue • Reported in the income statement in the same period as the revenue they gave rise to. • “Matching principle”: recognize costs and/or assets used as expenses in the period in which they produce revenue • Goal of accrual accounting: report inflows of assets when they are earned, and net them against outflows of assets used to generate them

  20. Cash vs. Accrual basis of accounting: Summary • Cash basis of accounting: Method of accounting where income is calculated by recording revenues when cash is received and expenses when expenditures occur • Accrual basis of accounting: Method of accounting where income is calculated by recording revenues when benefits are earned and expenses when resources are given up to produce the revenues (expenses are matched to revenues)

  21. Please note that… • The aggregate net income over the life of the business is the same for accrual and cash basis accounting, and is equal to cash inflows minus cash outflows. The only difference is one of timing. • Cash basis – recognition of revenues and expenses are associated with the cash flows of the period. • Accrual basis – timing of cash flows is not necessarily associated with the recognition of revenues and expenses. • Cash may be received/paid before, during, or after revenue and expense recognition.

  22. Active vs. Passive Journal Entries Generally, two types of journal entries Active: generated by an actual transaction on the transaction date ABC Corp pays $12,000 to prepay 1 year’s rent (Debit) Prepaid Rent $12,000 (Credit) Cash $12,000 Passive: generated by an end-of-period required adjustment to update an account for a change due to passage of time 1 month elapses. ABC Corp must adjust the Prepaid Rent account to reflect time passage. (Debit) Rent Expense $1,000 (Credit) Prepaid Rent $1,000 Notice the difference: Active transactions are those made by the firm in the conduct of business Passive transactions are those made to update the status or balance of accounts that typically were created previously by active transactions

  23. Prepaid Rent 12,000 Without an adjustment as time passes, this amount would stay here (and on the balance sheet) forever Active vs. Passive Journal Entries (continued) If we did not make passive or adjusting entries, our accounts would stay stuck on the original entry and would therefore be inaccurate ABC Corp pays $12,000 to prepay 1 year’s rent (Debit) Prepaid Rent $12,000 (Credit) Cash $12,000

  24. Prepaid Rent 12,000 11,000 (Debit) Rent Expense $1,000 (Credit) Prepaid Rent $1,000 Active vs. Passive Journal Entries (continued) If we did not make passive or adjusting entries, our accounts would stay stuck on the original entry and would therefore be inaccurate ABC Corp pays $12,000 to prepay 1 year’s rent (Debit) Prepaid Rent $12,000 (Credit) Cash $12,000 1,000 So at regular time intervals, we make necessary passive adjustments 1 month elapses. ABC Corp must adjust the Prepaid Rent account to reflect time passage.

  25. Active vs. Passive Journal Entries (continued) Typical passive entries include adjustments for: Interest owed but not yet paid Interest earned but not yet received Rent owed but not yet paid Rent earned but not yet received Salaries earned but not yet paid Systematic depreciation of assets through time Systematic use or expiration of assets through time (like prepaid rent or drilling rights)
