General Comments for Chapter 2

Note to users of previous edition:  coverage of deferrals is now included in Chapter 2, rather than separately in Chapter 3 as was the case in the previous edition.

This chapter introduces accrual accounting.  A key concept in this chapter is for the student to understand that revenues earned must be matched with expenses incurred to earn those revenues, regardless of when the cash exchange occurs.  You can introduce the subject simply by using a single accounting event in which a business provides services on account.  Chapter 1 assumed that all transactions were cash-based, but we all know that reality in the business world includes products and services purchased and sold ‘on credit’ or ‘on account’.  Show students the effect of this accrual by having them prepare an income statement, a statement of retained earnings, a balance sheet, and a statement of cash flows.  Students will often stumble on the concept of Unearned Revenue, thinking that it’s actually a revenue account when in fact it’s a liability.  Explain how customer payments that are received before goods or services are provided must be refunded to the customer if those promised goods or services are never actually delivered.  Similarly, show students the effect of interest on the financial statements without mixing interest computations into the example.  Students frequently get so lost in the computations they overlook the financial statement impact of interest.  Initially provide students with the amount of interest, freeing them to focus on its effects.  Once students understand how accrued interest affects the financial statements, then cover the mechanics of interest computations.  Encourage students to record transactions using the horizontal financial statements model, even when problems do not require them to do so.  Developing the habit of recording transactions using the model will help students see the impact of each transaction on the financial statements as well as help students identify their errors if the accounting equation is not in balance.  Specific examples are provided in the detailed lesson plan outline.  If you would like to begin the chapter with a problem-based learning exercise, see the notes below.

Problem-Based Learning Case:  Accrual Accounting

(We describe problem-based learning in the introduction to this manual.)



Instructions:  The case appears on the following page in a format you can copy or display.  Distribute copies of the case to the class before explaining accrual accounting.  Ask students to individually develop answers.  After allowing students time to develop their individual answers, put them into groups to reach consensus on an answer.  Also, ask each group to select a spokesperson.  Allow groups time to develop answers, then call on some of the spokespersons to share their solutions.  As you respond to the student solutions, explain the basic concepts of accrual accounting with respect to revenues earned and expenses incurred on account. 

The final result is: 

Net income:  revenue of $145,000 less expenses of $80,000 =  $65,000.
Total assets:  cash, $45,000 plus accounts receivable, $25,000 = $70,000.
Total liabilities:  salaries payable:  $5,000.


Chapter 2 Problem-Based Learning Case:  Accrual Accounting


 
 










Professional Headhunters, Inc. (PHI), a job placement company,  operates in the northeastern United States.  During 2010 the company earned $145,000 in revenue by providing services to customers.  However, it collected only $120,000 of the revenue in cash.  PHI expected to collect the remaining $25,000 in 2011.  In addition, PHI incurred $80,000 of expenses.  However, by the end of 2010, PHI had paid only $75,000 of the cash owed for expenses because it had not yet paid $5,000 to employees who had worked during 2010 but not been paid by the end of the year.  PHI expected to pay the $5,000 in cash to the employees during 2011.  Based on this information alone, determine the amount of net income, total assets, and total liabilities PHI should report on its 2010 financial statements.





Detailed Outline of a Lesson Plan for Chapter 2


      I.    Distribute copies of Demonstration Problem 2-1, found near the back of this chapter of the Instructor’s Manual. 

A.    Explain the phrase “on account.”  Tell students this means Packard recognizes the revenue when it is earned, which may be before it collects the cash.  Packard’s customers created charge accounts and purchased goods or services by charging the purchases to their accounts.  Revenue is recognized in the accounting period in which the services are provided regardless of when cash changes hands.  This discussion should lead to defining the term accrual.  In general, transactions in which a revenue or expense is recognized before cash changes hands are called accruals.  Demonstrate this point by recording the revenue recognition for Packard using the horizontal financial statements model.  Next, have your students prepare an income statement, a statement of retained earnings, a balance sheet, and a statement of cash flows.  To minimize the time required to prepare these financial statements, you may provide students with copies of the workpaper for Demonstration Problem 2-1.  The workpaper is near the back of this chapter of the Instructor’s Manual. 

B.     Since Packard did not issue any stock, the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity becomes a statement of retained earnings.  Although the text does not cover a statement of retained earnings, students should be able to infer the format from their experience with the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity.  Use the exercise to discuss diversity in reporting practice.  Although there is general consistency in financial reporting, there is also variety.  Students should learn to understand different reporting formats.

C.     After accounting for the 2010 revenue, assume Packard collects the $5,000 account receivable in 2011.  This is the only 2011 transaction.  Have students record the event using the horizontal financial statements model and prepare the four basic financial statements for the 2011 accounting period.  Encourage students to analyze the difference between the amount of net income and the amount of cash flow from operating activities.  This single transaction clearly illustrates differences between the income statement and the statement of cash flows.



D.    Introduce the term unearned revenue before starting part B of this problem.  Explain that unearned revenue is a liability because it represents an obligation to provide future services.  Make the point that businesses can be obligated to provide services as well as to pay cash.  Show your students how to record the liability using the horizontal financial statements model.

E.     Explain the year-end adjustment necessary to recognize three months of earned revenue on December 31.  Emphasize the difference between the amount of cash collected and the amount of revenue recognized.  Highlight that Jackson earned and recognized the revenue after it collected the cash.  Draw a general definition of deferrals from this illustration.  Transactions in which a revenue or expense is recognized after cash changes hands are termed deferrals.  Contrast deferrals with accruals which were presented in part A of Demonstration Problem 2-1.  For emphasis, reiterate the explanation of an accrual. Transactions in which a revenue or expense is recognized before cash changes hands are termed accruals.  Although these are not precise definitions, they describe the basic concepts in terms students can understand.  Explain that accrual accounting uses both accruals and deferrals.

F.      Also note the connection between reducing the liability account (unearned revenue) and recognizing revenue, reinforcing that revenue is an increase in assets or a decrease in liabilities from providing services or products to customers.  Similarly, an expense is a decrease in assets or an increase in liabilities that occurs in efforts to produce revenueNet income is a change in wealth (increase in net assets).  It is not enough to orally define terms.  You must repeatedly demonstrate the definitions within the context of problems.  Gradually, students will understand fundamental accounting interrelationships.

     II.    Use Demonstration Problem 2-2 to introduce accrued interest.  Master copies of the problem, solution, and workpapers are located near the back of this chapter of the Instructor’s Manual.  The following description of the transactions includes explanatory comments in italics.

A.    Events for 2010 are as follows:
1.     Canton Company borrowed $10,000 cash from the National Bank on September 1, 2010.  The loan was to be repaid in 2011, along with all interest associated with the loan.  The 2010 transactions do not in


volve common stock, dividends, or other superfluous elements that are not germane to the subject of interest.  Whenever possible, use an isolated set of transactions that focuses on a specific topic.  When multiple topics are introduced simultaneously, students experience information overload, which leads to memorization.  This problem focuses on borrowing money, using the borrowed money to invest in revenue-earning assets, and matching the investment revenue with the interest expense.

2.     Canton invested the all of the borrowed money in securities that generated investment revenue.

3.     Canton earned investment revenue of $600 cash.

4.     As of December 31, 2010, accrued interest (interest expense) on Canton’s bank loan was $400.  You will want students to understand that the accrued interest is the amount of interest expense from the date of the loan (September 1) through the end of the year.  Even though the interest will not be paid until 2011, there is some portion of the total interest amount that is expense in 2010.  Explain that Canton had the use of the borrowed money from September through December 2010 and that interest represents the expense that Canton must pay for the use of that money.  The amount of interest is provided.  This example focuses on how interest expense affects the financial statements.  Computing the amount of interest will be addressed in a subsequent problem.  Once again, the objective is to avoid introducing too many topics simultaneously.  Use this entry to expand the definition of an expense.  The increase in the liability account is paired with expense recognition.  Define expenses as decreases in assets or increases in liabilities that occur in the effort to produce revenue.

Have students record the events using the horizontal financial statements model and prepare financial statements for the accounting period ended December 31, 2010.  This might be a good point to ask the students if Canton made a wise business decision to invest the borrowed money since the interest expense of $400 generated investment revenue of $600.  You can point out that the Statement of Cash Flows shows the financial statement reader that Canton borrowed money to fund the investment and the Income Statement helps the financial statement reader determine whether or not that was a wise decision.

B.    After preparing the 2010 statements, assume these 2011 events:



1.     Canton earned investment revenue of $1,350 cash in 2011.

2.     Canton sold its securities for $10,000 cash.

3.     Canton accrued interest of $800 on the bank loan.  The accrual of interest and the payment of interest are shown as separate transactions.  While combining transactions reduces recording time in a manual accounting system, doing so masks the logic behind the steps.  Since the objective is to teach students to understand accounting rather than how to save time recording transactions, avoid complex entries.

4.     Canton paid cash for the interest due on the bank loan.  Remind the students that some portion of the interest due was recorded in 2010 and the remainder of the interest due was recorded in 2011.

5.     Canton repaid the $10,000 bank loan with cash.


III.       Use separate examples to introduce other types of deferrals (prepaid assets, supplies, and long-term depreciable assets).  You can use exercises 2-3 A or B or 2-9 A or B in the textbook as demonstration problems, or create your own.  We often make up demonstration problems like these in the classroom.  Encourage students to think by asking them to attempt to record the effects of events before you discuss them.  For example, instead of defining prepaid assets, simply give the students an event involving a prepaid asset.  Say, “On October 1, 2010, ABC Company paid $1,200 in advance for one year of property insurance protection.”  Without having ever discussed prepaid insurance, ask the students to record the event using the horizontal financial statements model.  Make them write down an answer.  Don’t be concerned with accuracy.  Be concerned with involvement.  Walk around the room and look at what they are doing.  Occasionally collect these exercises from the students as in-class assignments.  Give them credit regardless of their answers.  The grade is for participation, not accuracy.  Your objective is to motivate them to think about the problem before you offer a solution.  At this stage, you are not evaluating their performance.



IV.    Time considerations and homework assignments.  Completing Demonstration Problems 2-1 and 2-2  should require approximately one hour of class time.  Have the students work along with you as you explain the problems.  Exercises 2-3, 2-9, 2-13, and 2-16 parallel the Demonstration Problems and can be considered for homework assignments.

V.                Use Demonstration Problem 2-3 as a comprehensive summary problem.  This is a two-cycle problem.  Explain the first cycle (2011) and then use the second cycle as an in-class assignment.  Allot approximately one hour to complete this assignment.  Students needing additional time can finish the problem as homework.  Problem 2-28A or B mirrors the demonstration problem and can be used as a homework assignment.

VI.             Use the horizontal financial statements model to highlight the differences between accrual and cash basis accounting.  For example, suppose a company provides $5,000 of services on account and later collects $3,000 of the account receivable.  The effect of these two events on the financial statements is shown below.

            Include other events you deem appropriate.  By this point students have a sufficient background to use the horizontal financial statements model.  It is critically important to establish a firm foundation in the basics before progressing to more advanced representations.  Introduce the model gradually.

VII. Hand out the official answers to any of the Demonstration Problems that you covered in class.  Doing so allows the students to focus more on understanding the material than on taking notes for later reference.  If they know that they will have access to the official answers to the problems worked in class, then they will not be as concerned about recording those answers during the discussion.

Reviewer’s note –I suggest that the revenue and expense columns be added along with the cash flow columns – in essence the full model – not just the accounting equation portion that’s shown here.  Doing so allows the students to understand how each transaction impacted the financial statements that they are asked to prepare in part 2 of this problem.  If the columns were added, then 2010 beginning balances would be $0 for all.  Item 1 would have $10,000 in the cash flow column, tagged as FA.  Item 2 would have ($10,000) in the cash flow column tagged as IA.  Item 3 would have $600 in the revenue column and $600 in the cash flow column tagged as OA.  Item 4 would have $400 in the expense column.  Ending balances would be $0 for the revenue, expense, and cash flow columns.  For the 2011 activities, item 1 would have $1350 in the revenue column and the cash flow column and would be tagged OA.  Item 2 would have $10,000 in the cash flow column and would be tagged IA.  Item 3 would have $800 in the expense column.  Item 4 would have ($1,200) in the cash flow column and would be tagged OA.  Item 5 would have ($10,000) in the cash flow column and would be tagged FA.  Ending balances in the revenue, expense, and cash flow columns for 2011 would be $0)

A spreadsheet is embedded to reflect the solution to this question.  This spreadsheet covers both 2011 and 2012.  The workpaper for students’ use in answering this question would basically be the solution with the amounts deleted for all events except for the 2011 beginning balance.
