Objective 1
History of Accounting
Accounting has a long history. Some scholars claim that writing arose in order to record
information. Account records date back to the ancient civilizations of China, Babylonia, Greece
and Egypt. The rulers of these civilizations used accounting to keep track of the cost of labor and
materials used in building structures like the great pyramids. (Source: Horngren, Harrison and
Robinson, 1995)
Accounting developed as a result of the information needs of merchants in the city-states of Italy
during the 1400s. In that commercial climate a monk, Luca Pacioli, a mathematician and friend of
Leonardo da Vinci, published the first known description of double-entry bookkeeping entitled
Summa de Arithmetica, Geometria, Proportioni et Proportionalite, which means Everything about
Arithmetic, Geometry, and Proportion published in Venice in November 1494. This book
contained primarily principles of mathematics and incidentally a set of accounting procedures.
The pace of accounting development increased during the Industrial Revolution as the economies
of developed countries began to mass-produce goods. Until that time, merchandise was priced
based on managers’ hunches about cost but increased competition required merchants to adopt
more sophisticated accounting system.
In the nineteenth century, the growth of corporations especially those in the railroad and steel
industries, spurred the developed of accounting. Corporate owners were no longer necessarily the
managers of their business. Managers had to create accounting systems to report to the owners
how well their businesses were doing.
Government played a role in leading more development in the field of accounting when it started
using the income tax. Accounting supplied the concept of income. Also, government at all levels
has assumed expanded roles in health, education, labor and economic planning. To ensure that the
information that it uses to make decisions is reliable, the government has required strict
accountability in the business community.
At the beginning of the third millennium, there would still be significant developments in the
field of accounting. The great challenge of globalization and the effects of new technologies (e.g.
super computers, robotics, inter and intra-net, etc.) pose a shift in the structure and pattern in this
field. More and better accounting information are now being required and therefore, accounting,
being the means used in communicating business and financial information, must also evolve into
a more efficient level.
Reference: Workbook in Introductory Accounting for Service Business
Accounting as “Language of Business”
The primary objectives of the business are:

1. To generate profits
2. To properly manage limited and scarce resources
With these objectives, a business must prepare financial reports and interpret these reports as an
aid in decision-making. In making decisions, accounting is used as a tool for communication.

Objective 2
Definition of Accounting
1. Accounting is a service activity.
a. Its function is to provide quantitative information, primarily financial in nature,
about economic entities that is intended to be useful in making economic
decisions.
2. Accounting is the process of identifying, measuring and communicating economic

information to permit informed judgments and decisions by users of the information.
a. Identifying – this accounting process is the recognition or nonrecognition of

business activities as “accountable events” (Valix, 2005). There are 3 types of
transactions:
i. Business transaction –
1. transactions which are recorded in the financial books. Example
is investment of the owner.
ii. Personal transaction –
1. transactions which are not recorded in the financial books.
Example is purchase of house and lot of a business owner using
his personal money.
iii. Neither business nor personal transaction –
1. Business events that are not recorded in the financial books.
Examples are hiring of employees, death of the owner, entering
into a contract etc.
b. Measuring – this accounting process is the assigning of Peso amounts to the

accountable economic transactions and events (Valix, 2005)
c. Communicating – is the process of preparing financial statements and

interpreting the results thereof
3. Accounting is the art of recording, classifying and summarizing in a significant manner

and in terms of money, transactions and events which are, in part at least, of a financial
character, and interpreting the results thereof.
4. Accounting is an information system that measures, processes, and communicates

financial information about an identifiable economic entity.

vendors (liabilities) and the owner (capital).
Income will increase assets as well as capital and expenses will decrease assets as well as capital.
Business transactions will have an effect on the accounting equation. The following are the basic
financial transactions and the effects on the accounting equation.

a. In this presentation, income and expense accounts are grouped according to
nature. Secondary income such as interest income, dividend income etc are
grouped under line item “Other Income”. On the other hand, expenses are
arranged from highest to lowest, except for Miscellaneous Expense, Other
Expense and Finance Cost. These line items are the last 3 line items in the
expense section.
2. Functional form
a. In this presentation, expenses are grouped according to function. The 4
classification of expenses are:
i. Distribution cost
ii. General and administrative expenses
iii. Other operating expenses
iv. Finance cost

Objective 2
Statement of Changes in Owner’s Equity
To recall, this component presents the changes in capital such as additional investments,
withdrawals, net income and/or net loss.
The following are the effects to the capital or equity:
EFFECTS
Investment Increase
Withdrawal Decrease
Income Increase
Expense Decrease
Net Income Increase
Net Loss Decrease
The Income Statement is connected to this component through Net Income or Net Loss and this
component is connected to the Balance Sheet through the Ending balance of the capital account.
The equation for computing Ending Capital Balance is
Owner, Capital – beginning + Additional Investments + Net Income

– Withdrawals – Net Loss = Owner, Capital – ending
Using the accounting equation, the equation for computing Beginning Capital Balance is
Assets, beginning – Liabilities, beginning = Owner, Capital (beginning)
On the other hand, the alternative equation for Ending Capital Balance is
Assets, ending – Liabilities, ending = Owner, Capital (ending)
31
Objective 3
Balance Sheet or Statement of Financial Position
To recall, the Balance Sheet presents the financial condition of the business through its assets,
liabilities and capital / owner’s equity
There are 2 forms of Balance Sheet:

1. Account-form
a. This form presents assets on the left side and liabilities and capital on the right
side
2. Report-form
a. This form presents assets on the upper side and liabilities and capital on the lower
side
Assets
Assets are classified into 2:
1. Current Assets
a. These refer to assets that are useful to the business within one year. Examples are
Cash, Investment in Trading Securities, Trade and Other Receivables,
Merchandise Inventory and Prepaid Expenses.
2. Noncurrent Assets
a. These refer to assets that are useful to the business for more than one year.
Examples are Property, Plant and Equipment, Long-term investments and
Intangible assets.
Assets are arranged in order of liquidity. Cash is the first line item because it is the most liquid
asset.
Liabilities
Liabilities are classified into 2:
1. Current liabilities
a. These refer to liabilities that are payable and will mature within one year.
Examples are Trade and Other Payables and Current-portion of long-term notes
payable.
2. Noncurrent liabilities
a. These refer to liabilities that are payable and will mature beyond one year.
Examples are Noncurrent-portion of long-term notes payable, Mortgage Payable,
and Bonds Payable.
Liabilities are arranged in order of maturity. For Noncurrent liabilities, the order is usually Notes
Payable, Mortgage Payable and Bonds Payable. The reason is Notes Payable will normally
mature first before mortagage and bonds.
Capital or Owner’s Equity

This represents the ending balance of capital from the statement of changes in owner’s equity.
32
Objective 4
Notes to the Financial Statements
To recall, this component presents the details of the line items in the Balance Sheet and Income
Statement
Trade and Other Receivables

For this category, the first line item is Accounts Receivable followed by Allowance for Doubtful
Accounts. The difference between these two line items is called “Net Realizable Value”. Net
realizable value represents the estimated amount to be collected from the clients / customers after
deducting doubtful accounts.
After Allowance for Doubtful Accounts, the next line item is Notes Receivable then followed by
account titles which have the word “Receivable”. They are arranged from highest to lowest since
their nature are the same. “Receivable” accounts are synonymous with “Accrued Income”. For
example, Interest receivable is the same with Accrued Interest Income.
The last line item is Advances to employees.
Prepaid Expenses
The items for this category are arranged from highest to lowest since their nature are the same.
Property, Plant and Equipment

The tabular presentation for this note is as follows:
Cost Accumulated Net Carrying Value

Depreciation
Land P 400,000 P 400,000

Transportation Equipment 530,000 P 30,000 500,000
Building 360,000 60,000 300,000
Equipment 240,000 40,000 200,000
Furniture and Fixtures 110,000 10,000 100,000
Total P 1,640,000 P 140,000 P 1,500,000

========= ======== =========
Adapted from the exhibits of the Workbook
The fixed asset items are arranged from highest acquisition cost to lowest acquisition cost. The
difference between the acquisition cost and accumulated depreciation is called the Net carrying
value or Net book value.
33
Trade and Other Payables
Line Item
1st Accounts Payable
2nd Notes Payable
3rd Discount on Notes Payable
4th – nth Account with the word “Payable”
Last Unearned income
For the 4th line item, the accounts are arranged from highest to lowest since their nature are the
same. “Payable” accounts are synonymous with “Accrued Expense”. For example, Rent payable
is the same with Accrued Rent expense.
Objective 5
Problems in connection to Statement of Changes in Owner’s Equity

ACCOUNTING FOR PROMISSORY NOTES
Study Objectives

and prepare the journal entries in relation to issuance of
promissory notes and payment on the maturity date
2 Understand the concept of discounting of customer’s note

and prepare the necessary journal entries
3 Understand the concept of discounting of own note and

prepare the necessary journal entries
Objective 1
Promissory Notes
A promissory note is an unconditional promise in writing made by one person to another, signed
by the maker, engaging to pay on demand or at a fixed or determinable future time a sum certain
in money to order or to bearer (Valix, 2005).
Parts of a Promissory note
March 24, 2009
I promise to pay X, P 5,000 on April 7, 2009 with 12% interest.
(Sgd) Y
1. Date of the note – March 24, 2009

2. Maturity date – April 7, 2009
3. Maker – Y
4. Payee – X
5. Face value / Principal – P 5,000
6. Interest rate – 12%
Given the above promissory note, how much is the Maturity value?
44
Maturity value = Principal + Interest
Interest = Principal x Interest rate x Term / 360
Term refers to the period between the date of the note and the maturity date. 360 represents the
number of days in a year in accordance to Banker’s rule.
In the above example the term is 14 days. 7 days in March (31-24) and 7 days in April.
For years 2000, 2004, 2008 and so on, remember that there are 29 days in February.
Interest = 5,000 x 12% x 14/360

= 23
Maturity value = 5,000

When the maker fails to pay the principal and interest on the maturity date, then the promissory
note is considered dishonored. For the journal entry in the books of the maker, instead of
crediting Cash, Accounts payable is credited. On the other hand in the books of the payee, instead
of debiting Cash, Accounts receivable is debited.

Discounting of promissory notes

When a promissory note is negotiable, the payee may obtain cash before maturity date by
discounting the note at a bank or other financing company. To discount the note, the payee must
endorse it. Thus, legally the payee becomes an endorser and the bank becomes an endorsee
(Valix, 2005).
Two types of discounting

1. Discounting of customer’s note
2. Discounting of own note
Objective 2
Discounting of Customer’s note
Using the above example, assume that the maker discounted the note on April 2 at a discount rate
of 15%.
The necessary equations for note discounting are as follows:
Interest on discounting = Maturity value x Discount rate x Discount period / 360
Cash proceeds = Maturity value – Interest on discounting
Discount period refers to the period between the discount date and the maturity date.
For this example, the discount period is 5 days (April 7 – 2).
Interest on discounting = 5,023 x 15% x 5 / 360

= 10
Cash proceeds = Maturity value – Interest on discounting

= 5,023 – 10
= 5,013

Types of endorsement
1. Endorsement with recourse
a. This type requires the endorser to pay the endorsee if the maker dishonors the
note. This is the contingent or secondary liability of the endorser.
2. Endorsement without recourse

a. This type does not impose contingent liability on the endorser.
In the absence of any evidence to the contrary, endorsement is assumed to be with recourse
(Valix, 2005).
Assume that in the above example, the maker dishonored the note and the bank charged a
protest fee of P 500.

Objective 3
Discounting of own note
In this type of discounting, the maker issues a promissory note to obtain cash. Interest on
discounting is deducted in advance and is debited using the account title “Discount on Notes
Payable”.
Example 1:
On July 14, 2009, for money borrowed, X discounted its own 30-day, 12% P 10,000 note with Y.
Interest on discounting = Principal x Interest rate x Term / 360

ACCRUED INCOME
Study Objectives
(Put a Check mark)
1 Understand the concept of adjusting entries and the
reasons for providing adjusting entries at year-end
2 Recall the concept of accrued income and prepare

adjusting entry in relation to accrued income
Objective 1
Adjusting Entries
Adjusting entries refer to journal entries made at the end of the year for the following reasons:
1. Accrued income
a. There may be unrecorded income and there is a need to accrue income or
recognize receivables.
2. Accrued expense
a. There may be unrecorded expenses and there is a need to accrue expenses or
recognize payables.
3. Prepaid expense
a. There may be a consumed or used portion in the recorded prepaid expense or
there may be an unconsumed or unused portion in the recorded expense.
4. Unearned income
a. There may be an earned portion in the recorded unearned income or there may be
an unearned portion in the recorded income.
5. Depreciation
a. There is a need to provide depreciation for depreciable fixed assets.
6. Doubtful accounts
a. There is a need to provide estimated doubtful accounts in relation to accounts
receivable.
Objective 2
Accrued income
To recall, accrued income refers to income earned but not yet received. The following are the
examples of accrued income to be recognized at year-end:
1. Accrued commission income

a. It is possible that the company has already rendered the service pertaining to
commission but it has not yet received the commission as of year-end.
2. Accrued rent income
53
a. It is possible that the company or lessor has already earned the rent but it has not
yet received the rent payment as of year-end.
3. Accounts receivable
a. It is possible that the company has not yet recorded as of year-end the service
rendered.
4. Accrued interest income
a. It is possible that the company has not yet recorded the interest that is earned in
relation to notes receivable from the date of the promissory note until year-end
date.
Accrued income is the same with receivable. For example,

accrued interest income is the same with interest receivable.

Objective 1
Accrued expense
To recall, accrued expense refers to expense incurred but not yet paid. The following are the
examples of accrued expense to be recognized at year-end:
1. Accrued interest expense

a. It is possible that the company has not yet recorded the interest that is incurred in
relation to notes payable from the date of the promissory note until year-end date.
2. Accrued salaries and wages expense
a. It is possible that as of year-end, the company has not yet paid the employees
because the year-end date is not the same with the payroll date.
3. Accrued rent expense
a. It is possible that the company or lessee has already incurred the rent but it has
not yet paid the rent as of year-end.
4. Accrued utilities expense
a. It is possible that as of year-end, the company has not yet paid the utilities or the
billing statements of the utilities have not yet received by the company.
5. Accrued taxes and licenses expense
a. It is possible that as of year-end, the company has already earned from services
rendered and sale of goods but has not yet paid the related taxes.
Accrued expense is the same with payable. For example, accrued

interest expense is the same with interest payable.
Accrued expense is the opposite of accrued income. When one party recognize accrued income,
the other party should recognize accrued expense.

PREPAID EXPENSE
Study Objectives
(Put a Check mark)
1 Recall the concept of prepare expense and prepare
adjusting entry using the Asset method
2 Prepare adjusting entry using the Expense method
Prepaid expense
To recall, prepaid expense is an asset that is paid in advance but not yet consumed or used.
Companies have two options or methods in recording prepaid items. They may use the Asset
method or the Expense method.
Objective 1
Asset Method
If the company chooses to use the Asset method, then upon purchasing the prepaid item the pro-
forma entry will be:

xxxx
xxx xx Prepaid _____ expense xxx
Cash xxx
Purchase of prepaid item
It is possible that in this recorded prepaid expense there may be consumed or used portion. To
adjust the recorded prepaid expense, the pro-forma entry will be:

zxxx
Dec 31 _____ expense xxx
Prepaid _____ expense xxx
Recognition of consumed or used
portion of the recorded prepaid
expense
59
Example:
On March 15, 2009, XYZ Company purchased office supplies for cash, P 100,000. At the end of
the year, record shows that 25% worth of supplies have been used.

2009
Mar 15 Office supplies 100,000
Cash 100,000
Adjusting entry

2009
Dec 31 Office supplies expense 25,000
Office supplies 25,000
Recognition of used portion of the
recorded office supplies
If the prepaid expense account is not adjusted at year-end, then the financial statements will be
misstated showing overstated assets and understated expenses.
If the adjusted Office supplies of P 75,000 is fully consumed in the following year, then the entire
P 75,000 will be transformed to Office supplies expense also in the following year.
Objective 2
Expense Method
On the other hand, if the company chooses to use the Expense method, then the pro-forma entry
to record the purchase of prepaid item is:

xxxx
xxx xx _____ expense xxx
Cash Xxx
It is possible that in this recorded expense there may be unconsumed or unused portion. To adjust
the recorded expense, the pro-forma entry will be:

xxxx
Dec 31 Prepaid _____ expense xxx
_____ expense Xxx
Recognition of unconsumed or
unused portion of the recorded
expense
60
Example:
Assume the same example in asset method but this time the company will use the expense
method.

2009
Mar 15 Office supplies expense 100,000
Cash 100,000
Adjusting entry

2009
Dec 31 Office supplies 75,000
Office supplies expense 75,000
Recognition of unused portion of the
recorded expense
If the expense account is not adjusted at year-end, then the financial statements will be misstated
showing understated assets and overstated expenses.
Notice that whether the company uses the asset method or expense method, the financial
statements will show same amounts for assets and expenses. In the above example, both methods
will show Office supplies adjusted balance of P 75,000 and Office supplies expense adjusted
balance of P 25,000.

2 Prepare adjusting entry using the Income method
Unearned income
To recall, unearned income is a liability that is received in advance but not yet earned.
Unearned income is the opposite of prepaid expense. If one party has recorded a prepaid item,
then the other party has to record an unearned item.
Companies have two options or methods in recording unearned items. They may use the Liability
method or Income method.
Objective 1

It is possible that in this recorded unearned income there may be earned portion. To adjust the
recorded unearned income, the pro-forma entry will be:

Xxxx
Dec 31 Unearned _____ income xxx
_____ income xxx
Recognition of earned portion of the
recorded unearned income
63
Example:
On October 1, 2009, the company received from the tenant the advance rent payment of P
100,000 representing 10-month rent.

2009
Oct 01 Cash 100,000
Unearned rent income 100,000
Adjusting entry

2009
Dec 31 Unearned rent income 30,000
Rent income 30,000
100,000 / 10 = 10,000 x 3
Recognition of earned portion of the
recorded unearned rent
If the unearned income account is not adjusted at year-end, then the financial statements will be
misstated showing overstated liabilities and understated income.
If the adjusted Unearned rent income of P 70,000 is fully earned in the following year, then the
entire P 70,000 will be transformed to Rent income also in the following year.
Objective 2
Income Method
On the other hand, if the company chooses to use the Income method, then the pro-forma entry to
record the unearned item is:

xxxx
xxx xx Cash xxx
_____ income xxx
It is possible that in this recorded income there may be unearned portion. To adjust the recorded
income, the pro-forma entry will be:

xxxx
Dec 31 _____ income xxx
Unearned _____ income xxx
Recognition of unearned portion of
the recorded income
64
Example:
Assume the same example in liability method but this time the company will use the income
method.

2009
Oct 01 Cash 100,000
Rent income 100,000
Adjusting entry

2009
Dec 31 Rent income 70,000
Unearned rent income 70,000
100,000 / 10 = 10,000 x 7
Recognition of unearned portion of
the recorded income
If the income account is not adjusted at year-end, then the financial statements will be misstated
showing understated liabilities and overstated income.
Notice that whether the company uses the liability method or income method, the financial
statements will show same amounts for liabilities and income. In the above example, both
methods will show Unearned rent income adjusted balance of P 70,000 and Rent income adjusted
balance of P 30,000.

LESSON 13
DEPRECIATION
Study Objectives
(Put a Check mark)
1 Understand the concept of depreciation and its kinds
2 Enumerate the factors of depreciation and compute

depreciation using the straight line method
Objective 1
Concept of depreciation
Property, plant and equipment, except land, normally are usable for a number of years after which
they have relatively little value either for service or for sale. The difference between the original
cost of a property and any remaining value when it is retired or worn out is an expense that
should be distributed to the periods during which the asset is used (Valix, 2000).
Depreciation accounting
- Is a system of accounting which aims to distribute the cost of the depreciable fixed asset
less salvage value, if any, over the estimated useful life of the asset in a systematic and
rational manner. It is a process of allocation, not of valuation (Valix, 2000).
- The objective of depreciation accounting is to have each period benefitting from the use
of the asset bear an equitable share of the asset cost (Valix, 2000).
Depreciation
- Is the portion of the cost of the asset charged as expense during an accounting period
(Valix, 2000).
Kinds of depreciation (Valix, 2000)

1. Physical depreciation
a. Is related to the depreciable asset’s wear and tear and deterioration over a period.
This also results to the ultimate retirement of the property or termination of the
service of the asset.
b. Physical depreciation may be caused by:
i. Wear and tear due to frequent use
ii. Passage of time due to nonuse
iii. Action of the elements such as wind, sunshine, rain or dust
iv. Accidents such as fire, flood, earthquake and other natural disaster
v. Diseases in animals and wooden buildings
2. Functional or economic depreciation

a. Arises from obsolescence or inadequacy of the asset to perform efficiently.
i. Obsolescence may arise from the following:
67
1. When there is no future demand for the product which the

depreciable asset produces
2. When a new depreciable asset becomes available and the new
asset can perform the same function for substantially less cost
ii. Inadequacy arises when the asset is no longer useful to the firm because
of an increase in the volume of operations.
Objective 2
Factors of depreciation (Valix, 2000)
In order to properly compute the amount of depreciation to be charged as expense during an
accounting period, three factors are necessary, namely:
1. Cost
2. Scrap value
a. Is the amount estimated to be recovered when the asset is retired from use.
b. It is also known as Residual value or Salvage value.
c. From the practical standpoint, the scrap value is often considered as zero because
the valuation is usually very small or not capable of estimation.
3. Estimated useful life
a. Is the expected service or economic life of the asset.
Straight line method of depreciation (Valix, 2000)

Under the straight line method, the annual depreciation charge is calculated by allocating the
amount to be depreciated equally over the number of years of estimated useful life.
The formula for the computation of the annual depreciation following the straight line method is
as follows:
Annual depreciation =
Cost minus scrap
Life in years
Cost minus scrap value equals Depreciable cost. Depreciable cost multiplied by the Annual
depreciation rate also gives the amount of annual depreciation.
The Annual depreciation rate is determined by dividing 100% by the life of the asset in years. For
example, if the life of the asset is 5 years, then the depreciation rate is 20% (100% / 5).
The straight line method is based on the theory that periods benefited by the use of the asset
should bear an equal or equitable share of the asset cost because the straight line approach
considers depreciation as a function of time rather than as a function of usage.

DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS
Study Objectives
(Put a Check mark)
1 Understand the concept of doubtful accounts
2 Compute doubtful accounts using the percent of accounts

receivable approach
3 Compute doubtful accounts using the aging analysis

approach
Objective 1
Accounting for Doubtful Accounts
Business enterprises sell on credit rather than only for cash to increase total service income or
sales and thereby increase income. However, an enterprise that sells on credit assumes the risk
that some clients or customers will not pay their accounts (Valix, 2005).
When an account becomes uncollectible, the enterprise has sustained a bad debt loss. This loss is
simply one of the costs of doing business on credit. Two methods are followed in accounting for
this bad debt loss, namely:
1. Allowance method
2. Direct write-off method
For ACTBAS1, only the allowance method will be discussed.
Allowance method
The allowance method requires recognition of doubtful accounts expense even if some of the
accounts receivable are doubtful of collection.
The adjusting entry to recognize doubtful accounts is:

xxxx
Dec 31 Doubtful accounts expense xxx
Allowance for doubtful accounts xxx
Recognition of doubtful accounts
72
Basis for computing doubtful accounts

There are two bases or approaches for computing doubtful accounts.
1. Balance sheet approach
a. Percent of Accounts receivable balance
b. Aging analysis
2. Income statement approach
For ACTBAS1, only the balance sheet approach will be discussed.
Objective 2
Percent of Accounts receivable balance
A certain rate is multiplied to the accounts receivable balance in order to get the required
allowance balance. The rate used is usually determined from past experience of the company
(Valix, 2005).
Example 1:
Assume accounts receivable balance of P 2,000,000 and doubtful accounts are estimated to be 3%
of accounts receivable are given in 2009 financial records
Adjusting entry

2009
Dec 31 Doubtful accounts expense 60,000
Allowance for doubtful accounts 60,000
(2,000,000 x 3%)
Note xx – Trade and Other Receivables
Accounts receivable P 2,000,000

Less: Allowance for doubtful accounts 60,000 P 1,940,000
Example 2:
Assume accounts receivable balance of P 2,000,000 and doubtful accounts are estimated to be 3%
of accounts receivable are given in 2010 financial records. Assume also that Allowance for
doubtful accounts has a balance of P 10,000 before adjustment.
Adjusting entry

2009
(2,000,000 x 3%) – 10,000
73

Objective 3
Aging analysis
The aging of accounts receivable involves an analysis of the accounts where they are classified
into not due or past due. Past due accounts are further classified in terms of the length of the
period they are past due. The most common classifications are:
1. Not due
2. 1 to 30 days past due
8. More than 1 year past due
9. Bankrupt or under litigation
The allowance is then determined by multiplying the total of each classification by the rate or
percent loss experienced by the company for each category.
The major argument for the use of this method is the more accurate and scientific computation of
the allowance for doubtful accounts, and consequently, the accounts receivable are fairly
presented in the balance sheet at net realizable value (Valix, 2005).
Example:
The following data are summarized in aging the accounts at the end of the period:
Accounts receivable Experience Required allowance

balance rate
Not due 500,000 1% 5,000
1 to 30 days past due 300,000 2% 6,000
31 to 60 days past due 200,000 4% 8,000
61 to 90 days past due 100,000 7% 7,000
91 to 180 days past due 50,000 10% 5,000
181 to 365 days past due 30,000 30% 9,000
More than 1 year past due 20,000 50% 10,000
Totals 1,200,000 50,000
74
The amount computed by aging of accounts receivable represents the required allowance for
doubtful accounts at the end of the period.
Thus, if the Allowance for doubtful accounts has a credit balance of P 10,000 before adjustment,
the doubtful accounts expense is determined as follows:
Adjusting entry

2009
50,000 – 10,000

When is an account past due?

The credit terms will determine whether an account is past due. For instance, if the credit terms
were 2/10 n/30, and the account is 45 days old, it is considered to be 15 days past due.
Net realizable value

- This represents the estimated amount to be collectible from the clients or customers after
deducting the allowance for doubtful accounts.

Objective 1
Closing entries
After the preparing the financial statements, one needs to close the nominal accounts or income
statement accounts. If these accounts are not closed at the end of the year, then these accounts
will be carried forward to the next accounting period. If that happens, the following accounting
period will show a misstated income statement.
The following are the procedures in closing the nominal accounts.
1. Debit the income accounts and credit the Income summary account.

the only remaining accounts are the real accounts or balance sheet accounts. Notice also that after
the closing entries, Kim Sam Soon, Capital increased from P 130,100 to P 231,020. This is due to
the addition of P 100,920, which is the amount in the last closing entry.
If the Post-Closing Trial Balance shows equal totals, then the books of accounts are ready for the
recording of transactions in the next accounting period.
