Learning Activity Sheet No. 1: Don Carlos, Bukidnon Senior High School Department First Quarter School Year 2020-2021
RECORDING PHASE:
- Gathering and analyzing data or documents.
- Journalizing the transactions
- Posting to the ledger
SUMMARIZING PHASE:
- Preparation of unadjusted trial balance
- Preparation of work sheet for adjustment
- Preparation for adjusted trial balance
- Preparation of the financial statements
- Journalizing and posting the adjusting entries
- Journalizing and posting the closing entries
- Preparation of the post-closing trial balance
- Journalizing and posting the reversing entries
Note: Transactions are recorded initially in a journal called books of the original entry precisely because
transactions are originally recorded in them before being posted to the ledger. Recording transactions in the
journal must be done in chronological order, which means that the arrangement of records such as bills,
receipts, and invoices are in the order of their dates.The rules of debit and credit should also be followed in
recording transactions.
The rules of debit and credit entail the following
- The normal balances of assets and expenses are debit and the normal balances
of liabilities and equity are credit. Normal balance is the debit or credit
balances that would be expected in the specific account in the general ledger.
- Debit the asset and expenses to increase them.
- Credit the liabilities, capital, and revenue to increase them
- Credit the assets and expenses to decrease them.
- Debit the liabilities, capital, and revenue to decrease them.
The accounting equation stated that “ all assets are equal to liabilities plus capital”
A= L+C
Take the following information reflecting the relationships among the elements of the normal balance of an
account.
In tracking the capital account of the business, the following should be observed:
Capital xxx
Asset (Cash) xxx
Ex. 4 Net Income
Revenue and Expenses Summary xxx
Capital xxx
Ex. 5 Net loss
Capital xxx
Revenue and expenses Summary xxx
- An account that is debited for increases and is credited for decreases in on the
left side of the equation. An account that is credited for increases and is
debited for decreases in on the right side of the equation.
- Another approach in analyzing transactions is obtaining the value received
(debit) and value partied with (credit)
Posting to the Ledger
- The process of transferring recorded transactions from the journal to the
ledger is called posting. The ledger shows in one place all the changes
(increase or decreases) for a particular account.
SUMMARIZING PHASE
Preparation of Unadjusted Trail Balance
- When all the ending balances of the accounts in the general ledger are
summarized the result is what we called trial balance.
- In the preparation of a trial balance the following rules must be observed;
a. There should be a report heading the consists of the name of the business,
title of the report (ex. Trial Balance) and the date of the report;
b. Account title should be arrange in the following order- Asset, Liabilities,
Owner’s Equity, Income, and Expenses;
c. The peso sign is placed only in the first debit amount, first credit amount,
and in the total amount.
d. The total figure at the end of the balance must be double ruled (double
underlined)
Note: It is best to start with the SCI. Upon determining the result of the operation, the profit and loss is
forwared to the SCE or previously known as the capital statement, which is the next to be prepared. From the
start until the end of the accounting period, the movements of capitalization are shown in the SCE. After
preparing the SCI and the SCE, the next report to be made is the SFPor previously known as the balance sheet.
The capital balance to be reflected in the SFP should be the en ding balance found in the SCE. The last to
prepare in the SCF. The SCF is the financial statement that summarizes the inflow and outflows of cash and
cash equivalents of the company. It contains three sections- cash from operation, cash from investing, and cash
from financing.
Journalizing and Posting the Adjusting Entries
- All adjustments made in the worksheet should be formally recorded to the
journals and posted to each appropriate account in the ledger.
Journalizing and Posting the Closing Entries
- After all the adjustments have been journalized and posted, the balances of the
temporary accounts otherwise known as nominal accounts, are closed to “
Income Summary account”
- It is necessary to bring all the temporary accounts balances to zero so that in
the following accounting period, the new sets of nominal accounts will be
opened and used for recording transactions:
- STEPS IN CLOSING ENTRIES
a. Debit all the credit accounts ( Revenue or Income) found in the SCI
column of the worksheet to “Income Summary Account”
b. Credit all the debit accounts ( Expenses) found in the SCI column of the
worksheet to “ Income Summary account”
c. Transfer the balance of the Income Summary account to Capital. A credit
balance in the Income Summary account represents profit or net income,
while a debit balance in this account represents loss or net loss.
d. Credit the Drawing account and debit the Capital Account.
Preparation of the Post-closing Trial Balance
- Since all nominal accounts have been closed and reduced to zero balance, the
remaining accounts- Assets, Liabilites, Capital, otherwise known as real
accounts- will be forwarded to the next accounting period. A post-closing trial
balance will be prepared in order to check the equality of the debit and credit
side after journalizing and posting the closing entries.
Journalizing and Posting the Reversing Entries
- The preparation of reversing entries is optional. It is done to be consistentin
recording income and expense accounts.
