Steps in Analyzing a TransactionSteps in Analyzing a Transaction

Step 1. Decide which accounts are involved.

Step 2. Classify the accounts involved (asset, liability, capital, revenue, expense).

Step 3. Decide if the accounts involved are increased or decreased.

Step 4. Write the transaction as a debit to one account (or accounts) and a credit to another account (or accounts).

Step 5. Check to see if the equation is in balance after the transaction has been recorded.

2–30

Analyzing Transaction (a) Analyzing Transaction (a)

Transaction (a): Connor deposited $90,000 in a bank account in the name of the business.Step 1. Decide which accounts are involved.

Step 2. Classify the accounts involved.

(continued)

The two accounts involved are Cash and J. Conner, Capital.

Cash is an asset and J. Conner, Capital, is an owner’s equity account.

2–31

Step 3. Decide if the accounts involved are increased or decreased.

Step 4. Write the transaction as a debit to one account (or accounts) and a credit to another account (or accounts).

(continued)

Cash is being deposited in the bank account, an increase to Cash. The owner has invested that cash in the business and has increased J. Conner, Capital.

Since Cash is an asset and is increased, so Cash is debited. J. Conner, Capital is an owner’s equity account and increased by a credit.

2–32

Step 5. Check to see if the equation is in balance.

There is at least one account debited and at least one account credited, and the total amount(s) debited equal the total amount(s) credited . You now have a debit equal to a credit, $ 90,000 debit to Cash and a $90,000 credit to J. Conner, Capital.

2–66

The Income StatementThe Income Statement

The income statement shows total revenue minus total expenses, which yields the net income or net loss.

The income statement reports how the business has performed over a period of time, usually a month or a year.

When total revenue exceeds total expenses over the period, the result is a net income or profit.

The Statement of Owner’s Equity

The statement of owner’s equity shows how—and why—the owner’s equity or Capital account has changed over a stated period of time.

This statement is prepared after the accountant has determined the net income or net loss on the income statement.

The Balance SheetThe Balance Sheet

The balance sheet shows the financial condition of a business’s assets offset by claims against them as of a particular date.

The balance sheet summarizes the balances of the asset, liability, and owner’s equity accounts on a given date (usually the end of a month or year).

It is a “snapshot” of the financial condition of the business at that particular time.

Errors Exposed by the Trial Balance

Errors Exposed by the Trial Balance

If the debit and credit columns in the trial balance are not equal, then it is evident that there is an error. Possible mistakes include— Making errors in arithmetic. Recording only half an entry. Recording both halves of the entry on the same

side. Recording one or more amounts incorrectly.

2–76

Procedure for Locating ErrorsProcedure for Locating Errors

The best method of locating errors is to do everything in reverse, as follows: Look at the pattern of the balances to see if a

normal balance was placed in the wrong column of the trial balance.

Re-add the trial balance columns. Check the transferring of the figures from the

accounts to the trial balance. Verify the footings and balances of the

accounts.

2–77

Use the trial balance in Practice Exercise 5 to prepare (a) an income statement, (b) a statement of owner’s equity, and (c) a balance sheet. Assume Collins Backpack Adventures started business on July 1, 20—.

2–82

Transpositions and SlidesTranspositions and Slides

A transposition means that the digits have been transposed, or switched around when the numbers were copied from one place to another, e.g. writing 619 for 916 (the difference of 297 is evenly divisible by 9).

A slide is an error in placing the decimal point; in other words, a slide in the decimal point, e.g., writing 2,700 for 27,000 (the difference of 24,300 is evenly divisible by 9).

(continued)

2–83

Transpositions and SlidesTranspositions and Slides

An error may be a combination of a transposition and a slide, e.g., writing $54 for $450 (the difference of $396 is evenly divisible by 9).

2–84

PRACTICE EXERCISE 7

Identify the following errors as transpositions or slides, and indicate the amount of difference and whether it is divisible by 9.a. The amount of supplies bought totaled $341, but it was

written as $431.b. Equipment was purchased for $3,500, but it was written as

$35,000.c. An error was made in the trial balance because $35 was

written for $530.
