Balance Sheet Liability Section Creation From Trial Balance 14

Hello in this lecture we’re going to create the liability section of the balance sheet. In prior lectures, we have taken a look at the assets in terms of first current assets and then property, plant and equipment and given us the total assets at that time, then we are now going to move on to liabilities, and that will be part of the second part of the balance sheet meaning it’ll then sum up to total liabilities and owner’s equity. We are going to be taking this information of course from the adjusted trial balance the adjusted trial balance in the format of debits and credits, we are now formatting it in the format of the accounting equation. Still the double entry accounting system just in two different formats, just reshuffling the puzzles so that different readers can understand the financial statements even though they don’t understand debits and credits.

Balance Sheet Current Assets from Trial Balance 12

Hello in this lecture, we’re going to create the current asset section of the balance sheet, we’re going to create this current asset section from a trial balance, we’re going to piece together the financial statements piece by piece as we go through a series of lectures, the trial balance being here at this is going to be the adjusted trial balance. And what will happen is we will then find a home for all of the accounts on the financial statements. Once we then do that, that means that we have then converted this from the double entry accounting system being in the format of debits minus credits equaling zero or debits equaling the credits to the assets equals liabilities plus the owner’s equity, basically the accounting equation, which is reflected on the balance sheet. So we’re going to start off by doing the current assets section, which will just be this part we’re going to find a home for these first few accounts.

Reversing Journal Entries – Accrued Revenue 11

Hello. In this presentation we’re going to talk about reversing journal entries as they are related to accrued revenue. When considering reversing journal entries, we’re talking about those journal entries made after the financial statements have been generated after the adjusting process has been done. Remember that the adjusting process happens after all the normal transactions for the month have happened. Then at the end of the month, we have that adjusting process. All journal entries being made as of the same date as of the end of the month in order to make the financial statements correct so that the financial statements can be made. As of that point in time, in this case, the end of the year being 1231 that the cutoff date that the point in time that we make the financial statements, then we want to consider if we want to use reversing journal entries.

Hello in this lecture, we’re going to record the adjusting entry related to insurance, we’re going to record the transaction up here on the left hand side and then post that to the trial balance on the right hand side, the trial balance being in the format of assets in green liabilities in orange. Then we have the equity section in light blue and the income statement, including revenue and expenses in the darker blue. We will start off by just identifying the accounts that will be affected and then talk about why they will be affected. So we know that we have the adjusting entries. Remember that adjusting entries should be kept separate in your head in that they do have the same characteristics of having debits and credits in at least two accounts affected however, they’re also all as of the end of the time period, either the end of the month or the end of the year.
