Learning Objective 1
Differentiate between cash
basis accounting and accrual
basis accounting

12.

What is the Difference between Cash Basis
Accounting & Accrual Basis Accounting?
CASH BASIS
ACCRUAL BASIS
• Revenue is recorded when Cash • Revenue is recorded when it is
is received
earned
• Expenses are recorded when
• Expenses are recorded when
Cash is paid
incurred
• Not allowed under GAAP
• Generally used by larger
businesses
An Accrual Basis approach recognizes that the recognition of revenues
and expenses should not be affected by the timing of cash collections
and disbursements. Rather revenues and expenses should be recognized
when the underlying economic activities actually take place.

13.

Learning Objective 2
Define and apply the time
period concept, revenue
recognition, and matching
principles

Review Revenue Recognition Principle
Revenue should be
recorded when it is
EARNED.
A good has been
delivered or a
service has been
performed.
The amount of
revenues must
represent the
actually selling
price.
The earnings
process is
complete.
(warehouse?)
Accounting
If a $200 item is
discounted to
$100, then the
revenue is $100.

Review The Matching Principle
• All expenses are recorded when they

Prepaid Rent Example
In Transaction #10 (see Chapter 2), on December 1, Smart Touch
Learning prepaid 3 months rent of $3,000 ($1,000 x 3 months). Paying
rent in advance gives us the right to use the property for 3 months (in
this case). By the end of December, 1/3 of that right has been used.

Depreciation (plant Assets)
• plant assets are long-lived, tangible assets used in the
operation of a business. As a business uses these assets,
their value and usefulness decline.
• Plant Assets need to depreciates, such as buildings
equipment, furniture, and automobiles. The contra asset
account used is Accumulated Depreciation—(asset’s name)
• Land has an infinite life; Under Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles, we never depreciate Land. (p163)
Plant assets, with the exception of land, are depreciated
over their useful lives.
Accounting

Depreciation(plant Assets)
• Depreciation is usually defined as
the periodic, systematic allocation
of the cost of a long-lived tangible
asset to expense over its
estimated useful life.
• The accounts used are:
• Depreciation Expense(E)-I/S
• Accumulated Depreciation
(-A, contra-asset account )-B/S

Depreciation is a

Depreciation (plant Assets)
Depreciation is the process of allocating the cost of a plant
asset over its useful life in a systematic and rational
manner.
Straight-line Method: a depreciation method that allocates
an equal amount of depreciation each year.

Depreciation Example
Using the straight-line method of computing
depreciation, Smart Touch Learning will need to record
$300 of depreciation for December.

Prepaid Expenses(A) or Expense ?
1. Other prepaid expenses, such as Prepaid Rent, are
accounted for exactly as Insurance and Supplies.
2. We should note that some prepaid expenses are both
paid for and fully used up within a single period.
3. For example, a company may pay monthly rent on the
first day of each month. This payment creates a prepaid
expense on the first day of the month that fully expires
by the end of the month.
4. In these special cases, we can record the cash paid with
a debit to the expense account instead of an asset
account.
