Income Statement from Trial Balance 16

Hello in this presentation we’re going to take a look at the creation of the income statement from the trial balance. First, we want to take a look at the trial balance and consider where the income statement accounts will be. When looking at the trial balance, it will be in order we have the assets in green, the liabilities in orange, the equity in light blue, and then the income statement accounts including revenue and expenses. That’s what we are concentrating here we’re looking at those income statement accounts. And that is what will be used in order to create the financial statements to create the income statement. Note that all the blue accounts represents the equity section. So the income statement really is going to be part of total equity.

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.

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.

Adjusting Entry Accounts Receivable 8

Hello in this lecture, we’re going to record an adjusting transaction related to accounts receivable. We’re going to record the journal entry over here on the left hand side and then post it to the trial balance on the right hand side trial balance and format of assets in green liabilities in orange equity in the light blue and the income statement in the darker blue including revenue and expenses, we’ll first walk through which accounts will be affected and then explain why that is the case. So we know that it is an adjusting entry and knowing that it’s an adjusting entry means it’s slightly different than a normal journal entry in that it does have two accounts like normal journal entries, but it also generally has one income statement account below the blue line and one balance sheet account above the blue line the light blue line, so it’s going to be one account above owner’s equity, one account below owner’s equity.

And then we’ll go explain why we are going through this process. So just if we have the trial balance, and we know it’s an adjusting entry related to payroll, we know that there’s going to be at least two accounts affected.

Although it could be thought of as a yearly process or some other process in terms of the amount of time that will pass. But these are going to be the steps that we’ll be going through in terms of the accounting process, always keeping in mind that in goal of financial accounting, which are the financial statements, some texts will have more steps than five as we have here. Some texts will have less than five steps. But the goal here is to really have a broad picture big picture, so that when we think about the accounting process, we can break down that that big picture view, five is a pretty good number for us to be able to memorize and keep in our mind if we have more than that, it can start to kind of muddy the picture. So once we get into each of these individual steps, we want to get into more detail, obviously.
