Equipment costing $7,000 is purchased for $5,000 cash and an account payable of $2,000. 3. Supplies inventory costing $1,000 is bought for cash. 4, Salaries of $4,500 are paid in cash. 5, Revenues of $10,000 are earned, of which $5,000 has been recovered in cash. The remaining $5,000 is owed to the company by its customers 6. Accounts payable of $1,500 are paid in cash. 7. Customers pay $1,000 of the $5,000 they owe the company. 8, Rent Expense of $750 is paid in cash. 9. Utilities of $500 are paid in cash. 10. A $200 travel expense has been incurred but not yet paid, 11. Supplies inventory costing $200 are consumed. ACME CONSULTING BALANCE SHEET AS OF JULY 31, —.

The cash paid to purchase the equipment is not reflected in the income statement. (It is probably best if the instructor does not discuss depreciation at this point in the course.) This problem illustrates several important points that managers should understand. These are: a, Every transaction involves at least two accounts. b, Net ineome is not equivalent to the net change in the cash account during an accounting period. ©. Cash is influenced by both balance sheet and income statement events. d. The basic accounting equation (Assets = Liabilities + Owners’ equity) can be used to capture, illustrate, and explain the accounting consequences of many (but not all) transactions and events that involve a company. The cash receipts - disbursements display is used since it would be premature to introduce the cash flow statement display at this point in the course. Problem 1-5 ‘Accounts Supplies Accounts Owners?

Increase in cash .. $25,000 and Owners’ Equity $ 4,000, 4,000 29,650 See Problem 1-4 for why change in cash account and the month’s income are not the same. The problem’s purpose and lessons for managers are similar to those in Problem 1-4, development programs have said that one of the chief values of our approach is that it does show the limitations as well as the usefulness of accounting, They say that one of their principal practical problems is that some uninformed people expect too much of accounting and are disappointed or disgruntled when the accountant cannot furnish them with precise or complete information. It is possible that misconceptions of these people are generated from exposure {0 a course in which the value of accoun ‘was overemphasized and its limitations omitted. The foregoing does not mean that one should ever apologize for the limitations of accounting, Fram time to time it should be pointed out that these limitations are inherent in the job of attempting to reduce the complexities of an actual business situation to a few monetary figures. Incidentally, we understand that physies teachers got themselves into considerable trouble Some years ago by overemphasizing the aceuracy and completeness of our knowledge about physical phenomena. Their current practice, we understand, is to explain what is not known. Cases Cases 2-1 and 2-2 provide practice work for beginning students. These two are mechanical problems to be worked as the text material is studied. Lone Pine Cafe (A) requires the student to think about the application of basic concepts. Additional Cases, Some instructors like to use one of the Chapter | cases with this chapter. Any of the concepts described can be dealt with in the context of those cases. Problem Solu Problem 2-1 Owners’ equity equals $55,000. Liabilities equal $25,000, Noncurrent assets equal $70,000. Owners? equity is $73,000. Current assets $33,000 + Noncurrent assets $55,000 = Total assets $88,000. Current liabilities are $15,000 ($33,000 / 2.2) Total liabilities and Owners’ Equity = $88,000. Owners” equity $73,000 = Total liabilities and Owners’ equity $88,000 - Current liabilities $15,000. Current ratio is 1.4 (835,000 / $25,000) Current assets $35,000 = Total assets $95,000 - Noncurrent assets $60,000, Current liabilities $25,000 = Total assets $95,000 - Owner’s equity $70,000. This problem tests students’ understanding of balance sheet relationships using the basic accounting equation and financial ratio. 7 Problem 2-2 JL. GREGORY COMPANY BALANCE SHEET, JUNE 30, -—.

Some students may simply show the net effect on assets, liabilities, and owners? equity without reference to the specific accounts. While this is acceptable, students should be pushed to identify both the net effect and the particular accounts involved.
