√Short Exercises

(5 min.) S 3-1

Req. 1

Service revenue:

(a) / Cash basis / $600
(b) / Accrual basis / $1,100 ($600 + $500)

The accrual basis provides more information because it considers all the revenue you earned, including revenue earned on account. The accrual basis also keeps a record of your receivables from customers. The cash basis ignores both your receivables and the revenue you earned on account.

(5 min.) S 3-2

(a) / Cash Basis / (b) / Accrual Basis
Record expense of $5,000 /

Record asset of $5,000

The accrual basis is more realistic because the computer is an asset. To record the cost of the computer as an expense is unrealistic.

Group A

(10-15 min.) P 3-30A

DATE:______

TO:New Bookkeeper

FROM:Student Name, Controller

SUBJECT:Why the adjusting entry for salary expense is needed.

At the end of the period, we must make an adjusting entry for accrued salary expense to record all our salary expense of the period. Our salary expense includes both the amounts we pay employees plus the amounts they have earned but we have not yet paid. The unpaid salary expense is our liability to employees. If we fail to make this adjustment, we understate both expenses and liabilities. As a result, we would overstate net income and owners’ equity on our financial statements.

Student responses may vary.

Group B

(15 min.) P 3-37B

DATE:______

TO:Assistant Manager

FROM:(Student Name)

SUBJECT:Difference between the cash basis and the accrual basis of accounting

The cash basis of accounting treats all cash receipts as revenues and all cash payments as expenses. The accrual basis records revenues as they’re earned and expenses as they’re incurred, not when cash is received or paid. There is a difference in the timing of the recording of revenues and expenses under the cash basis and the accrual basis. Under the accrual basis, revenues are recorded based on the revenue principle and expenses are recorded by the matching principle.

Student responses may vary.
