Semana 2: Contabilidad Devengada y Estado de Resultados

Comenzaremos con una discusión acerca de la contaduría de acumulación y como afecta el reconocimiento de las cuentas de estados de ingreso: Ganancias y Gastos. Luego, cubriremos las entradas de ajuste, las cuales se necesitan para preparar los libros internos de los estados financieros futuros. Finalmente, discutiremos las entradas de cierre y la preparación de la hoja de balance y del estado de ingreso. En cada etapa, continuaremos trabajando en el caso de la nueva compañía. Y si no están cansados hasta el hastío de las entradas en su diario, entonces ¡no he hecho bien mi trabajo!

Transcripción

Hello, I'm Professor Brian Bushee, welcome back.

In this video, we're going to take what we learned about adjusting entries and

apply them to the Relic Spotter case.

Let's get started.

In prior videos, we did all 20 transactions that occurred during

Relic Spotter's first 6 months of operations.

Now, it's 5 PM on the last day of the fiscal year, December 31st.

We're not going to record any more transactions with outsiders.

But before we put together the financial statements,

we have to record the internal transactions or adjusting entries.

As in prior videos, I want to try to record the journal entry and

post it t-accounts for each required adjusting entry.

I will again put up the pause signs so

that you can try the journal entry yourself before I reveal the answer.

Transaction 21.

When Park called her accountant on December 31, 2012,

she was pleased to tell him that the company had $78,800 in cash.

By the way, before I go on, if we pull up the cash t-account, added up the debits,

added up all the credits, you could see that the balance is 78,800.

That's not going to change because all these adjusting entries will not

involve cash.

And we back to the transaction.

Park wanted to go out and celebrate, but

the accountant reminded her that she needed to stay in to do adjusting entries.

For example,

even though it wasn't paid in cash, a crude interest on the mortgage was $4,900.

The adjusting entry here is that we have to recognize interest expense that we've

incurred by having the mortgage outstanding during the year.

To create an expense, we're going to dab it interest expense for

4,900, which is the number provided in the transaction, and

we're going to have to recognize a liability because we have an obligation to

pay the bank, cash for this interest sometime in the next period.

So we create the liability with a credit, credit interest payable for 4,900.

>> What does the word accrued mean?

And why is this an expense if the bank hasn't made us pay the interest yet?

>> Let me check my dictionary.

Accrued means to accumulate, grow, or increase as interest on money.

And that's exactly what happened here.

The loan was outstanding for eight months.

And so, the interest accumulated or grew or accrued for eight months.

Even though we haven't paid that interest in cash,

we have to expense it because the money was outstanding during this period so

that interest cost is a cost of doing business this period and

we need to match that cost to the revenue we generated so

we need an expense which we create through the adjusting entry.

Then, we need to post this to t-accounts, so

we create an interest payable liability.

This will go on the balance sheet to show that we have this obligation to pay

interest in the future on the end of the year.

And we create an interest expense to recognize that one of the cost of doing

business this period was that we've incurred interest costs.

Transaction 22.

The accountant said that depreciation needed to be recorded on the building.

Park was confused by this because she received an unsolicited letter from

a mortgage broker informing her that the building had increased in value to

$120,000.

Now, recall that, in transaction number 5, Park had renovated the building,

bringing it's original cost to $85,000.

She also determined that the useful life of the building was 25 years,

with an expected salvage value of $10,000.

So for the adjusting entry, remember the format that we used for

depreciation expense.

We debit building depreciation expense for 1,500.

We debit the expense to create it.

And then, we credit accumulated depreciation.

It's the contra asset where we're going to store up the depreciation over time.

Now, where we get the 1,500 is we take the difference between the original cost of

85,000 and the salvage value of 10,000, so that's 75,000 we're going to depreciate

over time divided by 25 years of life, would be 3,000 of depreciation per year.

It hasn't been a year yet, the business has only been open 6 months,

so we take half a year to get the $1,500.

>> The building was purchased in April and renovated in May.

Why are we recording only six months of depreciation?

>> You are correct, since we finished the building seven months ago we could have

recorded seven months of depreciation.

But I chose to do six months because, well, Spotters has only been open for

six months and

I'm trying to match the cost of the building with the revenue we generated.

Plus the math was a lot easier with six months rather than seven months.

>> And what about the letter from the mortgage broker?

If the building is worth $120,000, why are we depreciating it?

>> For nonfinancial assets like buildings, we use an accounting method called,

historical cost or amortized cost.

What this means, is that if the value of the building goes above

what it's listed on the balance sheet, we never write it up, but if the value of

the building drops below what it is on the balance sheet, we write it down.

This is an example of the non-aggressive nature of accounting,

where we tend to err on the side of objectivity or reliability.

Because if we allowed managers to write up something that's hard to value,

like a building, there'd be too much opportunity for manipulation.

So we only allow them to write it down in value.

And I don't know what this specific principle is called in accounting,

but we never rely on values from unsolicited letters from mortgage brokers,

which is probably a life lesson that you should carry out beyond this course.

We post this journal entry to t-accounts.

We create a t-account for

accumulated depreciation as a contra asset that is a credit balance.

And then, a t-account for building depreciation expense.

Transaction 23.

The account also know that,

that Park needed to record depreciation on the metal detectors.

Recall that in transaction number 6, Park purchased $120,000 of metal detectors.

She determined that they would only last for

two years at which time they'd have no remaining value.

Journal entry has the same format as the last transaction.

We debit metal detector depreciation expense to create the expense and

we credit accumulated depreciation to increase the contra asset where we

store up depreciation over time.

Where do we get 30,000 from?

The metal detectors originally cost 120,000, they have no salvage value, so

we're taking that entire 120,000, spreading it over 2 years to get 60,000

per year but it's only been half a year so the amount that we depreciate is 30,000.

>> So why do you have separate accounts for building a metal detector depreciation

expense but you only have one account for accumulated depreciation?

>> You'll see why when we get to the video on financial statements.

But as a little preview, what you'll see is when we do the income statement,

building depreciation expense, and metal detector depreciation expense,

are going to go into different parts of the income statement, so

we need to keep track of them in separate accounts.

But when we do the balance sheet, there's just going to be one line for

all of the accumulated depreciation, so we can throw it all into one account.

We post this to t-accounts by putting another credit entry in accumulated

depreciation and creating a t-account for metal detector depreciation expense.

Transaction 24.

The account- >> Wait a minute.

Wait a minute.

You forgot the land.

Don't we have to depreciate the land, as well?

>> Thank you for reminding me about the land.

There's a longstanding tradition in accounting where we don't depreciate land.

We don't assume that land is systematically used up

to generate revenue.

So as long as the value of the land is at or above what it's carried on the balance

sheet, we just leave it at its original cost.

But if the value of the land dropped below what it was in the balance sheet,

we would write it down to that value, but

we wouldn't systematically depreciate it over time.

That's why when we originally bought the land and

building together, we had to separate how much of the value was from the land, and

how much was from the building.

The amount of value for the building is hitting the income statement

over 25 years, that's depreciated.

Whereas the value that's put in the land account will never hit the income

statement, as long as the value of the land stays at or above that level.

Let's try this again.

Transaction 24.

The accountant continued,

what about adjusting the software amortization account?

Recall that, in transaction number 8,

Park paid the $2,100 three-year software license fee on June 30.

Because software is an intangible asset we're going to use the term

amortization instead of depreciation.

So we're going to debit software amortization expense for 350.

And then, because it's amortization,

I'm going to credit the software account directly to recognize the amortization.

Where does the 350 come from?

Well, we paid 2,100 for a 3-year license.

So that's $700 per year of amortization.

It hasn't been a full year so we take half a year of that to get 350.

>> Wait!

Why do you reduce the software account directly,

instead of creating an accumulated amortization account?

>> As I mentioned in a prior video, the historical tradition is that for

amortization, you just reduce the intangible asset account directly instead

of creating a separate accumulated amortization account.

And I think historically we've done that,

because intangible assets have not been that big of a deal on the balance sheet.

But nowadays, more and more companies are starting to have larger and

larger intangibles.

And you will see more and more accumulated amortization accounts.

But I want to show you the old fashioned way because you still will see this

practice quite a bit, of just directly reducing the intangible asset account,

instead of creating and accumulating amortization, but

you can see it either way.

We post this one to t-accounts, we directly reduce the software account with

a credit, and then we debit a software amortization expense account.

Wow, we've only done 4 of the 8 adjusting journal entries for Relic Spotter, and

we've already recorded 12 minutes in video.

I guess the virtual students have a lot to say today.

So I'm going to end the video here and then we'll pick up in the next video with

the last four adjusted journal entries for Relic Spotter.

I'll see you then.

>> See your next video.
