ADJUSTING ENTRY
 Accountant make adjusting entries is to reflect in the
account information on economic activities that have
occurred but have not yet been recorded.
THE TIME PERIOD or PERIODICITY PRINCIPLE
 Generally states that the life of business entity may be
divided into several period.

 Financial statement of an entity should be prepared at least
 Annually
 Annual
 Semi-annual
 Quarterly
 Monthly

some expenses which are not yet expired.
3. Some asset included in the book are already expired are use
up.
4. Some liabilities included in the book such as advances from
costumer or clients are already earned.
ITEM USUALLY ADJUSTED

Accrual of Income and Expense

Accrual Principle
1. Income is recognize as earned at the time service is
rendered regardless of when cash is received.
 This is also called the revenue recognition principle
2. Expense is recognized as incurred at the time service is
receive or use up regardless of when cash is paid (also
called the expense recognition principle or the matching
principle.

TYPES OF ACCOUNT
TEMPORARY ACCOUNTS
 Temporary accounts, also called a nominal account are
those which are close at the end of an reporting
period.
 This accounts are also called “Income statement
accounts” because these are generally composed income
statements.

Example:
Income accounts Drawing Account
Expense accounts Income- Summary accounts

5
PERMANENT ACCOUNT
 Permanent account, also known as a real account those which
are NOT CLOSE at the end of the reporting period. This
account are “carried over” in the succeeding Period.
 This account are often called “balance sheet account”
because, they are compose of balance sheet item.
EXAMPLE:
Asset, liability, equity

TYPES OF ACCOUNT: MIXED ACCOUNT

Mixed account are those which have BOTH PERMANENT and TEMPORARY
COMPONENTS, hence the name mixed these accounts having a mixture
of real and nominal components must be separated to determine the
proper amount to be reported in a given accounting period
necessary to present a reliable financial report.
EXAMPLE:
Prepaid expense, Unearned revenues/Differed income
RELEVANCE OF ADJUSTING ENTRIES MIXED ACCOUNTS
 Mixed account having both permanent and temporary components
should be adjusted at the end of the end of every reporting
period
 In adjusting entries seek to separate the permanent and
temporary aspects of mixed accounts.
 The purpose of separation is to properly match and classify
the components of this account in the proper accounting
period in which they were incurred or earned, as the case
maybe, to be able to achieve a reliable financial reporting
that, should result better economic decision.
PREPAID EXPENSE AS MIXED ACCOUNTS
PREPAID EXPENSE represent advance payments from the entity
for goods or service to be used or consumed or incurred in
the future.
EXAMPLE:
Prepaid rent, prepaid insurance, prepaid advertising etc.
PREPAID expense may be recorded:

BAD DEBTS – An entity that sells on credit assumes the risk of

some costumer will not pay their account.

ALLOWANCE METHOD

 Recognized an expense when account is deemed uncollectible

Bad debt expense xx

Allowance for bad debts xx

The allowance for doubtful accounts is deduction from account

receivable

Generally accepted accounting principles require the use of the

allowance method because it conforms with the matching principle.

Moreover, accounts receivable would be properly measured at net

realizable value.

ILLUSTRATION- Allowance method

1. Accounts of P30,000 are considered doubtful of collection.

credited to other income.

DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS IN THE INCOME STATEMENT

1. DISTRIBUTION COST

If the granting of credit and collection of accounts are

under the charge of sales manager, doubtful accounts shall
be considered as distribution cost.

2. ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSE

If the granting of credit and collection of accounts are

under the charge of an officer other than sales manager,
doubtful accounts shall be considered as administrative
expense.

In the absence of any contrary statements doubtful accounts

shall classified as administrative expense.

BAD DEBT ESTIMATION

BALANCESHEET APPROACH

1. Aging of account receivable

20
 The aging of accounts receivable involves an analysis where
the accounts are classified into not due or past due.

a. Not due e. 91 to 120 days past due

b. 1 to 30 days past due f. 121 to 180 past due
c. 31 to 60 days past due g. 181 to 365 days
d. 61 to 90 days past due h. More than 1 year past due

The allowance is then determined by multiplying the total of

each classification by the rate or percent of loss experience
by the entity for each category

The major argument for this method is the more accurate and
scientific computation of the allowance for doubtful accounts.

The objection of the aging method is that it violates the

matching process.

ILLUSTRATION

Not due 500,000 1% 5,000

1 to 30 days past due 300,000 2% 6,000

31 to 60 days past due 200,000 4% 8,000

61 to 90 days past due 100,00 7% 7,000

91 to 120 days past due 50,000 10% 5,000

181 to 365 days 30,000 30% 9,000

More than 1 year past due 20,000 50% 10,000

1,200,000 50,000

The amount computed by aging of accounts received represents the

required allowance for doubtful accounts at the end of the period

Thus, if the allowance for doubtful accounts has credit balance

of P10,000 before adjustment, doubtful accounts expense is
determined as follow:

21
Required allowance 50,000

Less: Allowance balance before adjustment 10,000

Doubtful account expense 40,000

The journal entry to record the doubtful account expense is

Doubtful accounts 40,000

Allowance for doubtful accounts 40,000

2. % of receivable

 A certain rate I multiply by the open accounts at the end of

the period in order to get the required allowance balance
 This procedure has the advantage of presenting the accounts
receivable at estimated net realizable value. The approach
is also simple to apply.

However, the application of this approach violates the principle

of matching principle of matching bad debts loss against the
sales revenue.

Moreover, the loss experience rate may be difficult to obtain and

may not be reliable

What to compute is the required allowance

 Ending balance of the allowance for bad debts

ILLUSTRATION

The balance of accounts receivable is P 2,000,000 and the credit

balance in the allowance for doubtful accounts is P10,000.
Doubtful accounts are estimated at 3%of accounts receivable.

JOURNAL ENTRY

Required allowance (3% × 2,000,000) 60,000

Less: Credit balance in allowance 10,000

Doubtful account expense 50,000

INCOME STATEMENT

1. % of sales/ revenue

What to compute is expense

Percent of sales
The amount of sales for the year is multiplied by a certain rate
to get the . The rate may be applied on credit sales or total
sales.

Theoretically, the rate to be used is computed by dividing the

bad debt losses in prior years by the charge sales of prior
years.

The rate thus obtained is multiplied by the current year's charge

sales to arrive at the doubtful accounts expense.

Practically, however, there is no substantial difference if in

the computation of the rate, the basis is total sales of the
prior periods.
In such a case, the rate thus obtained is multiplied by the
current year's total sales to get the doubtful accounts expense.

23
This procedure of determining the rate has the advantage of
eliminating the extra work of making a record of cash sales and
credit sales.

However,this approach may prove unsatisfactory when [Link] a

considerable fluctuation in the proportion of cash and credit
sales periodically.

Argument for percent of sales method

When the “percent of sales" method is used in computing doubtful

accounts, proper matching of cost against revenue is achieved.
This is so because the bad debt loss is directly related to sales
and reported in the year of sale.

Thus,this method is an income statement approach because it

favors the income statement.

Argument against percent of sales method

The main argument against this method is that the accounts

shown at estimated realizable value
receivable may not be
because the allowance for doubtful accounts may prove
excessive or inadequate.

Thus,it becomes necessary that from time to time the accounts

should be "aged" to ascertain the probable loss.
As a consequence,the rate applied on sales should be revised
accordingly.

Illustration

The following accounts are gathered from the ledger.

Accounts receivable 1,000,000
Sales 5,050,000
Sales return 50,000
Allowance for doubtful accounts 20,000

If doubtful accounts are estimated at 1% of net sales,the

doubtful accounts expense is P50,000(1%xP5,000,000)and recorded
as follows:

Doubtful accounts 50,000

24
Allowance for doubtful accounts 50,000

If this method is used,the resulting amount of the computation is

already the amount of the doubtful accounts expense and not the
required allowance,in contradistinction with the aging method and
the percent of accounts receivable method.

The allowance balance before adjustment is ignored in determining

the doubtful accounts expense to be recorded.

However,the allowance for doubtful accounta should have an

adjusted balance of P70,000,the beginning allowance of P20,000
plus the adjustment of P50,000.

Correction in allowance for doubtful accounts

As pointed out earlier,the percent of sales method of estimating

doubtful accounts has the dis advantage of the allowance for
doubtful accounts being inadequate or excessive.

Aging the accounts is then necessary to test the reasonableness

of the allowance.

Where the allowance is inadequate or excessive, a question arises

as to the proper treatment of the discrepancy, whether to
consider it as an error or a component of profit or loss..

The correction is to be reported in the income statement either

as an addition to or subtraction from doubtful accounts expense.

The reason is that the correction is the natural result of a

change in estimate. Changes in estimate are treated currently and
prospectively,if necessary.

Accordingly, an inadequate allowance is adjusted as follows:

Doubtful accounts XX
Allowance for doubtful accounts XX

An excessive allowance is recorded as follows:

Allowance for doubtful accounts XX

25
Doubtful accounts XX

When the allowance is excessive, there is a corollary problem

when the discrepancy is more than the debit balance in the
doubtful accounts expense account.

For example, if the amount of correction due to excessive

allowance is P30,000 and the doubtful accounts expense account
has a debit balance of P20,000, following the above procedure
will result to a credit balance in the doubtful accountsexpense
account of P10,000. Such balance is obviously abnormal.

It is believed that in such a case, the P10,000 difference shall

not be treated as a prior period error but included in the
determination of the income of the current period.

Journal entry
Allowance for doubtful accounte 30,000
Doubtful accounts 20,000
Miscellaneous income 10,000

Debit balance in allowance account

Is this possible?How?What does it indicate?

The allowance for doubtful accounts normally has a credit

balance.

However,in certain instances,it may have a debit balance because

it may be the policy of the entity to adjust the allowance at the
end of the period and record accounts written off during the
year.

For example,on January 1, the allowance account before adjustment

has a credit balance of P30,000 and during the year an account of
P50,000 is written off and recorded as follows:

Allowance for doubtful accounts 50,000

Accounts receivable 50,000

Thus,on December 31,the allowance account has debit balance of

P20,000 before adjustment.

26
The debit balance does not indicate that the allowance is
inadequate because the accounts written off during the year and
charged to the allowance may have arisen from current year sales.

Thus, the charge to the allowance account simply predates the

recording of doubtful accounts.

At the end of the period when adjustments are made, the debit
balance should be considered.
To continue the example-if on December 31,the required allowance
is P40,000,the adjustment should be:

Doubtful accounts 60,000

Allowance for doubtful accounts 60,000

Required allowance 40,000

Add:Debit balance in allowance 20,000
Doubtful accounts expense 60,000

Note that after the adjustment for the doubtful accounts,

allowance account has credit of P40,000,which is the require
