adjust the accounts at the end of the period to ensure revenues and expenses are recorded when they are earned or incurred When revenues and expenses should be recognized in the accounting records is dictated by recognition criteria Revenue is recognized or recorded when an increase in future economic benefits arising from an increase in an asset or a decrease in a liability has occurred in the course of ordinary activities In general, revenue recognition occurs when or as the performance obligation has been satisfied In a service company, revenue is considered to be earned when the service is provided In a merchandising company, revenue is considered to be earned when the merchandise is sold (normally at the point of sale) Expenses are recognized in the accounting records when there is a decrease in future economic benefits related to a decrease in an asset or an increase in a liability in the course of ordinary activities Expense recognition is linked to revenue recognition in that expenses are recognized, wherever possible, in the period in which a company makes efforts to generate revenues This gives rise to adjusting entries so that revenues and expenses can be recorded in the proper period LO BT: C Difficulty: S Time: 10 AACSB: None CPA: cpa-t001 CM: Reporting Solutions Manual 4-3 Chapter Copyright © 2017 John Wiley & Sons Canada, Ltd Unauthorized copying,

measure and report revenue is: (b) Identify the contract with the client or customer Identify the performance obligations in the contract Determine the transaction price Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract Recognize revenue when (or as) the company satisfies the performance obligations For the law firm: The contract was created in March between the law firm and the client when the engagement was accepted by the law firm The performance obligation in the contract is to provide legal services The transaction price is $8,000 There is a single task and so there are no other obligations in the contract that need to be allocated The revenue is recognized by the law firm once it satisfies the obligation under the engagement and performs the work for the

accrual-basis financial statements provide reporting of assets, liabilities, and shareholders’ equity as well as revenues and expenses They include receivables and payables to ensure that revenues are recorded when earned and expenses recorded when incurred in the period revenue is generated Receivables and payables not exist under the cash basis of accounting The cash-basis financial statements provide reliable reporting of cash receipts and cash disbursements No estimates are required, as is the case with accrual-basis financial statements Companies using IFRS or ASPE cannot choose between the cash and accrual basis of accounting for financial reporting purposes because generally accepted accounting principles require the accrual basis In addition, the cash basis could allow for the manipulation of income by delaying or speeding up the timing of cash flow LO BT: C Difficulty: M Time: AACSB: None CPA: cpa-t001 CM: Reporting (a) (b) Prepaid expenses are assets because they have a future benefit since they were paid for before they are used or consumed As the benefit of the prepayment expires, (often with the passage of time) the asset must be reduced and an expense recognized This requires an adjustment at the end of each accounting period, to expense the portion of the prepaid that has expired (been used up) during the period LO BT: C Difficulty: M Time: AACSB: None CPA: cpa-t001 CM: Reporting (a) (b) Unearned revenue arises when cash is received for goods or services to be provided in the future It represents a liability because the cash has not yet been earned—the

AACSB: None CPA: cpa-t001 CM: Reporting (a) Depreciation expense is an expense account with a normal debit balance and is reported on the income statement as part of the operating expenses This account shows the portion of the cost of a long-lived asset that has expired during the current accounting period Accumulated depreciation is a contra asset account with a normal credit balance that is reported on the statement of financial position as a reduction of a depreciable asset (such as building and equipment) The balance in the accumulated depreciation account is the total depreciation that has been recognized from the date of acquisition of the depreciable asset to the statement of financial position date (b) Cost is the original cost of the asset when purchased The carrying amount is the original cost of the asset less its related accumulated depreciation, and represents the portion of the asset that has not yet been depreciated LO BT: C Difficulty: M Time: AACSB: None CPA:

Seventh Canadian Edition Yes, I agree A “simple” adjusting entry affects one statement of financial position account and one income statement account An adjusting entry reallocates amounts between a statement of financial position account and an income statement account For example: to record the expiration of insurance the following entry would be recorded; a debit to Insurance Expense (an income statement account) and a credit to Prepaid Insurance (a statement of financial position account) Compound adjusting journal entries are also possible which would affect more accounts, but at least one statement of financial position account and one income statement account are always affected whether a simple adjusting entry or a compound adjusting entry is made LO 2,3 BT: C Difficulty: M Time: AACSB: None CPA: cpa-t001 CM: Reporting 11 Disagree Adjusting entries never involve the Cash account In making adjusting entries for prepayments, the cash has already been paid or received and recorded The adjusting journal entry is prepared to reflect the fact that a portion of the unearned revenue or prepaid expense arising in the past when the cash flow occurred is now earned or incurred In making adjusting entries for accruals, we record the fact that, although the cash has not been paid or received, revenue has been earned or an expense has been incurred Again, there is no impact on the Cash account because cash has not yet been received or paid but is expected to be subsequently LO 2,3 BT: C Difficulty: M Time: AACSB: None CPA: cpa-t001 CM: Reporting 12 To ensure that the adjusting entry is properly calculated and prepared, the preparer of the adjusting entry must first properly understand the original cash payment transaction that lead to the recording of the prepayment For example, if you are preparing an adjusting entry to record the supplies on hand, you must know first how much is already recorded On the other hand, in the case of an accrual, there is no cash payment to look up in the accounts Consequently, there is no original entry to examine in the process of preparing an adjusting entry related to an accrual LO 2,3 BT: C Difficulty: M Time: AACSB: None CPA: cpa-t001 CM: Reporting 13 (a) Yes, it does matter whether the adjusting entry is made on December 31 If the interest is not accrued on December 31, then expenses (interest expense) and liabilities (interest payable) will both be understated in that year’s financial statements In addition, expenses (interest expense) will be overstated in the subsequent year, when the expense is recorded (incorrectly) when paid on January By not making this journal entry, expenses will not be matched with the period in which the loan was available for use (b) The correct journal entries are as follows: Solutions Manual 4-7 Chapter Copyright © 2017 John Wiley & Sons Canada, Ltd Unauthorized copying, distribution, or transmission of this page is strictly prohibited Kimmel, Weygandt, Kieso,

arise Adjusting entries are only recorded at the end of the accounting period, prior to the preparation of the financial statements As well, adjusting entries never affect the Cash account and always result in an adjustment to a statement of financial position account and an income statement account Transaction entries often result in a debit or credit to Cash and can affect any account on the statement of financial position or the income statement (or both) Closing entries are required to reset the revenue and expense (income statement) and dividend declared accounts to zero and to update the balance in Retained Earnings to the ending balance as shown in the statement of changes in equity Unlike adjusting entries, which are prepared before the financial statements are prepared and could be prepared more than once per year (for example, monthly, quarterly), closing entries are only prepared and posted after the year-end financial statements have been completed LO 2,3,4 BT: C Difficulty: M Time: AACSB: None CPA: cpa-t001 CM: Reporting 16 The unadjusted, adjusted, and post-closing trial balances are similar in that they prove the equality of the total debit and total credit balances Another similarity between the unadjusted and adjusted trial balances is that they are prepared at the end of an accounting period Where trial balances differ is that the unadjusted trial balance is prepared before any adjusting entries have been recorded or posted An adjusted trial balance is prepared after the adjusting entries have been posted to the accounts The financial statements are prepared from the adjusted trial balance After the financial statements have been prepared, closing entries are prepared and posted The post-closing trial balance is then prepared and used to form the basis of the opening balances for the next accounting period Unlike the adjusted trial balance which will list temporary (revenue, expense, dividend declared) account balances prior to recording the closing entries, a post-closing trial balance will not list temporary account balances as these have now been closed out to the Retained Earnings account 16 (b) (continued) Unadjusted

contact, the customer has not received any services and no revenue has been earned Although $100,000 was collected at the time of signing the contract, the full amount should be recorded to the Unearned Revenue account As the performance obligations of the contract (maintenance service) are delivered, revenue from the services provided can be recognized and the related unearned revenue reduced This will ensure that the expenses incurred in the performance of the contract will be matched to the revenues recognized The financial statements for 2017, 2018, and 2019 will be affected as follows: For 2017, only statement of financial position accounts will be affected Cash and Unearned Revenue will increase For 2018, the income statement will be affected Revenue earned from the

lowered to increase the amount of depreciation recorded in each year This would lower income before income tax and strengthen management’s argument that the company could not afford to increase salaries (d) In order to accrue an expense such as severance pay, it must have been incurred Since the decision to shut down the stores has not yet been made, it would be inappropriate to record such an expense (e) It is not unusual for a company to have to accrue amounts for utilities prior to the invoice being received in order to record the expense in the appropriate period The company should be able to make a reasonable estimate by calling the utility company and looking at past history However, increasing the estimate from $150,000 to $230,000 appears to have been done without any adequate support or justification This seems like an attempt to lower the net income of the company prior to negotiations with the union LO 2,3 BT: AN Difficulty: M Time: 30 AACSB: Ethics and Analytic

controller Sundream’s Chief Executive Officer Sundream’s shareholders Sundream’s creditors (b) By adding $12,000 to sales revenue and reducing interest expense by $3,000, net income increases by $15,000 Unearned revenue reduces by $12,000 and interest payable reduces by $3,000 Consequently, the current and total liabilities would reduce by $15,000 and the shareholders’ equity would increase by $15,000 on the statement of financial position The Sundream Travel Agency’s liquidity improves as a result of the changes suggested by the CEO The current ratio should be 1.9:1 ($400,000 ÷ $210,000) but it is now increased to 2.1:1 [($400,000 ÷ ($210,000 – $12,000 – $3,000)] (c) Intentionally misrepresenting the company’s financial condition and its results of operations is unethical and is also illegal It is obvious from the request that the CEO’s intention is to manipulate the amount of the current liabilities, to ensure that the current ratio conforms to the 2:1 requirement of the bank loan (d) Accounting standards are known and understood by the users and the preparers of the financial statements Those who prepare the financial statements are bound by the accounting standards An intentional breach of these standards, as is suggested by the CEO in this case, cannot be passed off as an oversight or ignorance of the fundamental rules of accounting Consequently, the CEO is aware of the breach in the accounting standards when he suggests the changes to the controller He knows that his behaviour is unethical and his suggestions should be challenged by his controller LO 1,2,3 BT: E Difficulty: M Time: 20 AACSB: Ethics and Analytic CPA: cpa-t001, cpa-e001 CM: Reporting and Ethics Solutions Manual 4-171 Chapter Copyright © 2017 John Wiley & Sons Canada,

FINANCIAL REPORTING CASE Since First Capital Realty Inc is required to release financial statements quarterly, it would need to post adjusting entries at least quarterly Since Skyline Group of Companies only releases financial statements annually, it will need to prepare adjusting entries at least annually Although external financial statements are released on a quarterly basis for First Capital and on an annual basis for Skyline, it is likely that management of both companies would need monthly financial statements so that they can assess the company’s performance on a timely basis For this reason, it is likely that the adjusting entries are prepared on a monthly basis for each of the companies and that there are no significant differences in the accounting cycle for each company (b) The criteria for, and timing of, revenue recognition may differ between the two companies, depending on their source of revenue This is not likely though given that the two companies are both REITs, but it is possible depending on the terms of specific performance contracts In terms of financial reporting, Skyline would not be required to prepare a statement of changes in equity, but rather would prepare a statement of retained earnings Skyline would also not report other comprehensive income in the shareholders’ equity section of its statement of financial position and it would not prepare a statement of comprehensive income (we will learn more about comprehensive income in a later chapter) First Capital Realty would prepare a statement of changes in equity and a statement of comprehensive income (if it had any other comprehensive income) Otherwise, the remaining financial statements would be the same for each company Compared with ASPE, additional disclosure is
