Module 3:Constructing Financial Statements and Analyzing Transactions
Cash Dividends • All transactions between the company and its shareholders are considered financing transactions. This includes payment of dividends, the issuance of stock, and any subsequent stock repurchase. • Financing transactions affect only the balance sheet; they do not affect the income statement.
Types of Adjustments • Cash received or paid before recognition of revenue or expense: • Prepaid expenses • Unearned revenues • Cash received or paid after recognition of revenue or expense • Accrued expenses • Accrued revenues
Prepaid Expenses (Assets) • Assume that Apple pays $200 to purchase time on MTV for future iPod ads. Apple’s cash account decreases by $200, and an asset called prepaid advertising increases by the same amount.
Unearned Revenues (Liabilities) • Assume that Apple receives $400 cash from a customer as advance payment on a multi-unit iPod sale to be delivered next month.
Recognition of Unearned Revenue as Earned Revenue • Assume that Apple delivers the iPods a month later (but still within the fiscal quarter).
Accrued Expenses (Liabilities) • Assume that Apple’s sales staff earns $100 of sales commissions this period that will not be paid until next period.
Accrued Revenues (Assets) • Assume that Apple delivers iPods to a customer in Germany who will pay next quarter. The sales price for those units is $500 and the cost is $400.
