KNOWLEDGE FOR ACTION
Definition of Accounting
• Accounting is a system for recording information about business transactions to provide summary statements of a company's financial position and performance to users who require such information.
• Three sets of books– Financial accounting
• Standardized reports for external stakeholders– Tax accounting
• IRS rules for computing taxes payable– Managerial accounting
• Custom reports for internal decision making
KNOWLEDGE FOR ACTION
What are the financial reporting requirements?
• The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) requires periodic financial statement filings:– 10 – K: Annual report – 10 – Q: Quarterly report– 8 – K: Current report (material events)– Must be prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles
(GAAP)• Periodic filing requirements create much of the “tension” in financial
accounting– Ship goods to a customer in one quarter, collect cash in the next
• When did the sale occur?– Buy equipment in one quarter, use it for the next 23 quarters
• When does the expense occur?
KNOWLEDGE FOR ACTION
Who makes the rules?
• Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) established by:– U.S. Congress, but they delegate to:– The SEC, but they delegate to:– Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB)
• Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF)• American Institute of CPA’s (AICPA)
• International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) are established by the IASB and are required in over 70 countries, including the EU– US GAAP is still required for US firms– For intro accounting topics, there is a high degree of overlap in the two standards
• Standard setting is a political process
KNOWLEDGE FOR ACTION
Who is responsible for financial reporting?
• Management is responsible for preparing financial statements– The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors provides oversight of
management’s process– Auditors are hired by the Board to “express an opinion” about whether the
statements are prepared in conformity with GAAP• The SEC and other regulators take action against the firm if any
violations of GAAP or other rules are found• Information intermediaries (stock analysts, institutional investors, the
media) may expose or flee firms with questionable accounting
KNOWLEDGE FOR ACTION
What are the required financial statements?
• Balance Sheet– Financial position (listing of resources and obligations) on a specific date
• Income Statement– Results of operations over a period of time using accrual accounting (i.e.,
recognition tied to business activities)• Statement of Cash Flows
– Sources and uses of cash over a period of time• Statement of Stockholders’ Equity
– Changes in stockholders’ equity over a period of time

Balance Sheet Equation (The Accounting Identity)
Assets = Liabilities + Stockholders’ equity
Resources = Claims on Resources byOutsiders + Owners
• Key features– Equates resources and claims on resources at a point in time on the Balance
Sheet– Must always balance! (Double-entry bookkeeping)– Changes over a period between two Balance Sheets are summarized in the
Income Statement, Statement of Stockholders’ Equity and Statement of Cash Flows

Complete Balance Sheet Equation
Assets = Liabilities + Stockholders’ equity
Stockholders’ Equity = Contributed Capital + Retained Earnings
Retained Earnings = Prior Retained Earnings + Net Income – Dividends
Net Income = Revenues – Expenses
Assets = Liabilities + Contributed Capital + Prior Retained Earnings + Revenues – Expenses – Dividends
KNOWLEDGE FOR ACTION
Using the Balance Sheet equation
• Assets = 100, Liabilities = 50. What is Stockholders’ Equity?
• Liabilities increase by 100 and Stockholders’ Equity is unchanged. What is the change in Assets?
• All noncash assets = 70, Total Liabilities = 60, Total Stockholders’ Equity = 30. What is Cash?
• Cash decreases by 10 and noncash Assets increase by 15. What is the change in Liabilities?
KNOWLEDGE FOR ACTION
Using the Balance Sheet equation
• Retained Earnings increase by 100, Dividends = 50. What is Net Income?
• Revenue increases by 100 and all other categories are unchanged, except Assets. What is the change in Assets?
• Expenses increase by 60 and all other categories are unchanged, except Cash. What is the change in Cash?
KNOWLEDGE FOR ACTION
Assets
• An asset is a resource that is expected to provide future economic benefits (i.e. generate future cash inflows or reduce future cash outflows)
• An asset is recognized when:– It is acquired in a past transaction or exchange– The value of its future benefits can be measured with a reasonable degree of
precision
KNOWLEDGE FOR ACTION
Which of the Following are Assets?
• BOC sells $100,000 of merchandise to a customer that promises to pay cash within 60 days
• BOC signs a contract to deliver $100,000 of natural gas to DEF each month for the next year
• BOC buys $100,000 of chemicals to be used as raw materials, with payment made in time to secure a 2% discount on the purchase price.
• BOC pays $12 million for the annual rent on its office building. It has already occupied it for one month.
• BOC buys a piece of land for $100,000. Its broker says this was a “steal” because the land is probably worth $150,000.
• BOC is advised by a marketing firm that its brand name is worth $63 million
KNOWLEDGE FOR ACTION
Liabilities
• A liability is a claim on assets by “creditors” (non-owners) that represents an obligation to make future payment of cash, goods, or services
• A liability is recognized when:– The obligation is based on benefits or services received currently or in the past– The amount and timing of payment is reasonably certain
KNOWLEDGE FOR ACTION
Which of the Following are Liabilities?
• BOC receives $300,000 of raw materials from its supplier and promises to pay within 60 days
• Based on this quarter’s operations, BOC estimates that it owes the IRS $3 million in taxes
• BOC signs a three-year, $120 million contract to hire Al Dokes as its new CEO, starting next month
• BOC has not yet paid employees who earned salaries of $1,000,000 during the most recent pay period
• BOC borrows $500,000 from a bank on a one-year note with a 10% interest rate
• BOC is sued by a group of customers who claim their products were defective. The suit claims damages of $6 million.
KNOWLEDGE FOR ACTION
Stockholders’ Equity
• Stockholders’ equity is the residual claim on assets after settling claims of creditors (= assets – liabilities)– Also called “net worth”, “net assets”, “net book value”
• Sources of Stockholders’ equity:– Contributed capital (arises from sale of shares)
• Common stock (par value)• Add’l paid-in-capital (excess over par value)• Treasury Stock (stock repurchased by company)
– Retained earnings (arises from operations)• Accumulation of net income (revenues minus expenses), less dividends, since start of
business• Retained EarningsEND =
Retained EarningsBEG + Net Income – Dividends
KNOWLEDGE FOR ACTION
Stockholders’ Equity Issues
• Dividends– Distributions of retained earnings to shareholders
• Not an expense• Recorded as a reduction of retained earnings on the declaration date (creates a liability
until payment date)
• Statement of Stockholders’ Equity– Required financial statement– Reports changes in stockholders’ equity over a period of time
KNOWLEDGE FOR ACTION
Three Fundamental Bookkeeping Equations
Assets = Liabilities + Stockholders’ Equity
Sum of Debits = Sum of Credits
Beginning account balance + Increases - Decreases = Ending account balance
• These equations must be in balance at all times!• The balance sheet equation can be preserved through the use of
“debits” and “credits”• Definitions of Debit and Credit:
– Debit (Dr.) = Left-side Entry– Credit (Cr.) = Right-side Entry
KNOWLEDGE FOR ACTION
Debit/Credit Bookkeeping
Assets = Liabilities + Shareholders’ EquityAssets = Liabilities + Contrib. Capital + Retained Earnings + Revenues – Expenses Assets + Expenses = Liabilities + Contrib. Capital + Retained Earnings + Revenues
Debits = Credits
• Rules of Debits and Credits:– Every transaction must have at least one debit and at least one credit– Debits must equal credits for all transactions– No negative numbers are allowed
KNOWLEDGE FOR ACTION
Accounts and Account Balances
• Normal Balance – The type of balance (debit or credit) the account carries under normal
circumstances• T Account
– A record of all changes in an accounting quantity– Debits are listed on the left side of the T – Credits are listed on the right side of the T
• Account Balance– Difference between sum of debits and sum of credits for the account
• Change in Account Balance Equation:– Beginning Balance + Increases - Decreases = Ending Balance
KNOWLEDGE FOR ACTION
Normal Balances and T-accounts
• Assets, Expenses– Normal Balance is Debit (Left side of T) – Increases through Debits (Left entries)– Decreases through Credits (Right entries)– Beginning (Debit) Balance + Debits - Credits = Ending (Debit) Balance

Analyzing Transactions & Journal Entries
• Three questions in analyzing transactions– Which specific asset, liability, stockholders' equity, revenue or expense accounts
does the transaction affect?– Does the transaction increase or decrease the affected accounts?– Should the accounts be debited or credited?
• Journal entry formatDr. <Name of Account Debited> $XXX
Cr. <Name of Account Credited> $XXX• Always list Debits first and always indent Credits

KNOWLEDGE FOR ACTION
Relic Spotter Inc. Case
• In March 2012, Rebecca Park identified an excellent business opportunity while she was a first-year MBA student at Wharton.
• She read a story about an MBA student who tripped while jogging in Fairmount Park and found an ancient gold coin in the underbrush. It was an old Viking coin that was appraised at $77,500.
• She realized that she could set up a profitable business that rented out portable Metal Detectors to people that wanted to search Fairmount Park for more Viking relics.
• Also, Park had the idea of stocking her store with “sundries,” such as water bottles and energy bars, that she could sell at a huge mark-up to renters before their expedition into the park.
KNOWLEDGE FOR ACTION
Relic Spotter Inc. Case
• Park prepared a business plan and approached a fellow student, Jay Girard, who had a sizable trust fund and who she believed would invest in this new venture.
• Due to his myriad of other investments, and his heavy course load, Girard agreed to invest as a silent partner and allow Park to run the business, which she named Relic Spotter Inc.
• We will now record journal entries and post to t-accounts for all of the transactions of this start-up company.
• After each transaction is read, you should pause the video and try to do the journal entry. Think about (1) what accounts are involved? (2) did they increase or decrease? (3) do we debit or credit?
• Then, resume the video to see the answer and the explanation.
KNOWLEDGE FOR ACTION
Relic Spotter Inc. Case: Transaction 1
• (1) On April 1, 2012, Girard decided to invest $200,000 and Park put up $50,000 to purchase a total of 25,000 shares in the new company. The par value of the shares was $1.00.

Relic Spotter Inc. Case: Transaction 4
• (4) To house the business, Park bought an abandoned pizza parlor near Fairmount Park for $155,000 on April 7. The building was old and needed renovation work. The purchase documents allocated $103,000 to the land and $52,000 to the building. Park paid for the building with $31,000 cash and a $124,000 mortgage from the Imperial Bank.
• Journal Entry
KNOWLEDGE FOR ACTION
Relic Spotter Inc. Case: Transaction 5
• (5) Park felt that some renovation work would extend the life of the building to 25 years (with an expected salvage value of $10,000). She ordered the renovation work, costing $33,000, to begin immediately. The work was completed on May 25, at which time she paid in cash the amount owed for the renovations.

Relic Spotter Inc. Case: Transaction 6
• (6) Park phoned a number of Metal Detector vendors until she found one that was willing to give her a volume discount. On June 2, Park purchased 240 Metal Detectors at an average cost of $500 per unit ($120,000 total). The innovation in the industry is so rapid that Park felt the units would only last for two years, at which time they would have no remaining value.
