Chapter 1
Business and Accounting
Learning Objectives:
A business is defined as an economic unit with the sole purpose of earning profits for its owner or owners.
The objective of the management of a business is how to optimize the use all economic resources owned
by the business in order to earn profit for the owners and continue to grow. It is not possible for a
business to grow unless it meets the two basic tests of survival – profitability and solvency. The
owners of a business cannot possibly know the level of its profitability and the level of its solvency
without accounting.
Profitability
Organizations may be grouped into two – the profit-oriented organization and the non-profit organization.
As its name suggests, the primary objective of organizations that fall under profit-oriented enterprises is to
make profit, and these organizations are usually referred to as business enterprise. The main activities of
a business enterprise are focused on meeting its primary objective of making profit. Other activities are
also undertaken to meet the same main objective.
Upon the formation of a business enterprise, an individual or group of individuals, known as investors,
owners, equity holder’s, or providers of capital, commits its resources and/or abilities in the hope that
their investments will increase in value and that the goal of making profit will be attained. The common
objective of all businesses is the desire to make profit. The income that a business makes is also called
net income or net profit or return on investment.
In order for the business enterprise to operate successfully and survive continuously, the manager,
whether he is the owner or not, must handle the business affairs in such a way that it will earn a
satisfactory return on the owner’s investment. There are many investment alternatives with varying
degrees of risk that are available to an investor. If an investment does not yield a satisfactory amount of
profit as compared to the return that might be earned from other investment alternatives, the investor
would be well-advised to sell or terminate that business and invest his resources and/or abilities
elsewhere. A business enterprise that is continually making losses will eventually deplete its resources
and be forced out of existence.
R. Z. Palma Financial Accounting 2
On the other hand a non-profit organization, whether private or government, is established not for profit
but to render services and meet the needs of the members of the organization or community. These
needs may be directly or indirectly related to education, health and physical care, livelihood, cultural and
social uplift, and spiritual and moral development. Some examples of non-profit or non-business
organization are: educational foundations, philanthropic foundations, museums, public libraries , civic
clubs, churches and religious organizations, non-government organizations (NGO’s), and orphanages.
Aside from making profit, another important objective of business enterprises is to make sure that they
have sufficient amount of cash that can be used to meet the expenses of their daily operation and to pay
their business obligations within a reasonable period of time. A business enterprise that has sufficient
cash to pay its debts as they mature is said to be solvent. Being and staying solvent must also be an
objective of a business enterprise.
In contrast, a business enterprise that cannot meet its obligations as they fall due is said to be insolvent.
An enterprise that becomes insolvent can be forced by its creditors to stop its operations and later on
discontinue its existence.
A business enterprise exists when a person or group of persons makes an investment or contributes their
resources in order to sell products or render services to others, for the ultimate purpose of making profit.
There are three major types of business enterprises that may be established for the purpose of making
profit: service, merchandising, and manufacturing enterprises.
Service Enterprise
This type of business provides various forms of services (not tangible products), to its customers or
clients. Some examples of entities that render services are: professionals, repair shops, banks, brokers,
consultants, schools, hospitals, hotels, insurance companies, utility enterprises, and service contractors.
A service enterprise recognizes income in the form of service fees, rent income, interest income, royalty
income, retainer’s income, and commission income. The manner of accounting for a service enterprise
had been discussed in the previous subject, the Sole Proprietorship.
Merchandising Enterprise
This type of business entity is involve in the “buy and sell” activity. It is also called a trading enterprise
that buys ready-to-use products, such as appliances, vehicles, household items, toys, clothing apparels,
supplies, ready-to-eat food, cosmetics, toiletries, and other accessories and then sells these products to
end-customers at higher prices. A business enterprise that purchases ready-to-use materials from
wholesalers or manufacturers, and then, sells the same to the end user, without materially changing the
form of the product bought and sold, is classified as merchandising enterprise. The manner of
accounting for a merchandising enterprise had been discussed in the previous subject, the Sole
Proprietorship. .
Manufacturing Enterprise
and supplies by applying labor and other manufacturing costs. For example, a manufacturer of adhesive,
popularly known as “Rugby, buys raw materials such as synthetic rubber, soda ash, resins, solvents and
containers and process these materials with the use of factory facilities such as rubber mill, mixers, and
dispensers to produce Rugby in bottles, liters, gallons and drums. Another example is a clothes
manufacturer who buys clothing materials and sewing supplies, and with the skills of the designers,
cutters, sewers and finishers and with the use of factory facilities such as cutters, sewing machines and
other equipment, the manufacturer comes out with the finished jeans or skirts that can be sold to traders,
merchandisers or end-customers.
There are three common forms of business enterprise depending on who provides the resources and
abilities that are needed in the normal operations. A business enterprise may be organized as a sole
proprietorship, a partnership, or a corporation, depending on how its capital requirements are generated.
Sole Proprietorship
A business that is owned by one person is called a sole proprietorship or a single proprietorship. The
person who puts up the investment is the sole proprietor and is commonly referred to as the
entrepreneur, or simply the owner.
Partnership
A partnership is an association of two or more persons who bind themselves to contribute money,
property or industry to a common fund, with the intention of dividing the profits among themselves. The
owners of the partnership are called partners. The formation of a partnership requires some form of
written or oral agreement between the partners. Among others, the partnership agreement states how the
business will be managed, the capital contributions and responsibilities of each partner, how the periodic
profits or losses shall be divided among the partners, the compensation that each partner is entitled to
receive, and the form of settlement upon the withdrawal or death of any partner.
Corporation
A corporation is defined as an artificial being created by operation of law, having the right of succession
and the powers, attributes and properties expressly authorized by law or incident to its existence. It is a
business that has its ownership capitalization divided into hundreds or thousands of transferable shares
of stock. The corporation must have at least five owners or investors called stockholders or
shareholders. Certificates of capital stock issued by the corporation to each stockholder show the
number of shares held by each stockholder. At any time a stockholder may sell a part or all of his shares
of stock without disrupting the existence of the corporation. One very important advantage of a corporate
form of business enterprise over that of a partnership is the ease in transferring the stockholder’s
investment shares to another investor.
A group of at least five (5) persons who organized and found the corporation are called incorporators.
The incorporators must file an application for a corporate charter with the Securities and Exchange
Commission. When this application is approved, the corporation becomes an artificial person which exists
as a legal entity that is separate and distinct from its owners or stockholders.
The accounting principles and processes applicable to the three forms of business ownership are
basically the same.
R. Z. Palma Financial Accounting 4
Individual Activities
Nearly every person is involved in some form of accounting, almost on a daily basis. For students, what is
important is the accounting of his weekly allowance from his parents. The student has to plan how his
weekly allowance should be spent so that at the end of the week, he still has some money left to be used
as savings or to be used to buy something that he wants. For the parents, what is important is the
accounting of their net take home pay; how much will be spent for food, how much will be spent for
electricity, water, communication, how much will be spent for the schooling of their children, for clothing or
even amortization or rental of their homes. We live in a time where accountability, whether in formal or
informal form, is a part of life.
Business Activities
Whenever a person, whether natural or artificial, has a business activity, accounting is involved.
Accounting is involved in planning business activities and then recording and summarizing actual
business activities; and finally comparing the financial plan against the actual result of operation.
Even those very simple acts – such as paying for transportation fare, paying for electricity and water,
buying office supplies, making a telephone call, sending a text message, giving a pledge to the church,
mailing a letter, payment of taxes, or receiving cash for product sold or receiving the cash or account
receivable for services rendered to others – involve accounting for expenses and revenue.
Although accounting is frequently associated with organized businesses, the understanding of the basic
accounting principles and process is also needed in the day-to-day living of an individual. Every person
needs to systematically monitor or keep track of his personal finances – both his resources and
obligations. For example, accounting is needed when an employee applies for credit card or housing loan.
Even ordinary shopping activities, and the saving of unspent cash, require practical accounting skills.
Also, financial information is needed in filling the required income tax returns. Accounting data are needed
when a retiree computes for his post-employment benefits. The division of partnership profits among
partners needs certain financial information as well. Corporations, whether large or small, profit or non-
profit, are required to submit periodic financial statements to the Bureau of Internal Revenue and
Securities and Exchange Commission and other governmental agencies. Lastly, accounting is essential
for operations of both government and non-governmental organizations.
Accounting involves the systematic recognition, measurement, reporting, and interpretation of data that
are related to the financial activities of a natural or artificial person. Processing information in such a way
that would be useful in making economic decision is the primary purpose of accounting.
The Committee on Accounting Terminology of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants
(AICPA), defines accounting as follows:
“Accounting is the art of recording, classifying, and summarizing in a significant manner and
in terms of money, transactions and events which are in part, at least, of a financial character,
and interpreting the results thereof.”
Over the years, the areas covered by accounting have expanded. Presently attention is focused on
accounting as a tool for decision-making. Thus a new definition of accounting is adopted. The
Philippine Accounting Standard Council in its old Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 1,
the definition of accounting is as follows:
Accounting is a communication tool that helps data-users to make certain informed financial decisions.
To be a useful tool, accounting must immediately respond to the changing needs of the data-users and
the economic environment.
The users of financial information are categorized as either external users or internal users.
External users are those outside the business organization whose financial interest would either be
present or future such as the lenders (banks /financial institutions), suppliers of goods and services, the
government, the customers, and the public.
Internal users are those who are within the business organization such as the owner/ owners, current
investors, officers and managers and employees.
Employees
Employees and their labor unions determine the ability of the business to meet their demands for higher
salary, better working condition, security of employment, and the others from financial statements. These
financial statements of the business facilitate the preparation of important labor negotiations.
Investors
Any investor looks into the business stability and profitability if he is to receive security and assurance of
fair return to his investment. Financial information is necessary in selecting where his resources should be
invested.
Government.
Both national and local governments regulate/monitor most businesses. For purposes of compliance, they
may review the accounting records of businesses. Government regulatory bodies include the Bureau of
Internal Revenue, Securities and Exchange Commission, Commission on Audit, Bangko Sentral ng
Pilipinas, and the Department of Finance. Government labor, statistics and economic agencies use
accounting information from businesses to set up economic policies, economic programs, and forecast
economic activities of the country. Every year all businesses, big or small, must apply for business
permits from local government units where they are located.
R. Z. Palma Financial Accounting 6
The accounting information is presented in reports called financial statements. These reports, while
useful to management, are also prepared primarily to provide relevant information to external users.
1. that is useful for present and potential investors and creditors in making rational decisions. (general
financial information)
2. that is understandable to those persons involved in business and economic activities; (general financial
information)
3. about economic resources of an enterprise and claims to those resources; ( statement of financial
position or balance sheet)
4. about the financial performance of an enterprise for a specified period; (income statement) and
5. that help users assess the amounts, timing and uncertainty of future cash receipts from sales, interest
income, dividends income and cash disbursements for purchase of merchandise, payment of salaries,
payment of loan payables, payment of interest expenses and other expenses. (statement of cash flows)
The first two objectives apply to all financial accounting information. Note that the information presented in
the financial statements are not prepared for those persons who have not attained a reasonable
knowledge using financial statements. The third objective is related to the statement of financial position
or balance sheet; the fourth, is related to the income statement; and the fifth, is related to the statement of
cash flows. These objectives collectively suggest that these reports are intended to be used in making
decisions related to the present and future status of the business.
Accounting and bookkeeping are not the same. Bookkeeping is only a part of the wider field of
accounting. Bookkeeping involves those mechanical and repetitive recording and classifying procedures
related to the business activities of a natural or artificial person, until the voluminous financial information
is summarized and reported in the form of financial statements. Bookkeeping includes the record keeping
process of accounting. Bookkeeping is the clerical side of accounting. A person might become a
reasonably proficient bookkeeper after completing a course in the fundamentals of accounting. However,
several years of study, experience and maturity are needed to become an accountant.
Among others, accounting includes: the analysis and interpretation of financial statements, the income
tax work, the design and installation of an accounting system, audits, and the preparation of the forecast,
budgets, and feasibility studies.
They say, accounting as a highly technical field that can be understood only by professional
accountants. It is not true.
There are some people who are not accounting graduates yet they have become comfortable in
dealing with the accounting information, accounting methods, and accounting reports. Majority of
presidents and treasurers of large corporations are not accounting graduates but they are adept in
using accounting information in making management decisions.
Accounting information will greatly help managers, lenders, investors, and owners in answering questions
such as:
Owner:
1. What is the possibility of earning a profit next year?
2. Do we need to borrow to finance the operation of our business?
3. What is the break-even sales?
4. What should be the most reasonable unit selling price for my finished product?
5. Should I branched out my operations to another city or stay within this city ?
6. Should I continue producing my product or just buy it from another manufacturer ?
7. How would I know if my goods are being stolen?
8. Is this year’s performance better or worse than last year?
9. Are my competitors making more profit than I do?
10. Should I advertise my new product? by how much?
11. For the current year, how much salary increase should I give to my employees?”
12. How many products should I sell to earn P1,000,000 a month?
.
Lender
1. Is the business of the borrower liquid?; stable?
2. Can this borrower pay back his loan plus interest to me?
Employee
1. Considering the profitability situation of my employer, is a salary increase possible this year?.
There are hundreds of questions or situations that will require answers or decisions. For a manager to be
effective, he needs decision-making skills related to planning, organizing, investing, financing, and
controlling of the business. However, his skills are useless, unless there is available financial information
that he can use in making management decision.
Consequently, these managers would depend on the useful financial information provided by the
accounting system. This financial information must have value, not only in assessing what already
happened but also in predicting what may happen in the near future. These accounting data help in
evaluating the over-all profitability and solvency of a business enterprise.
Corporate financial accounting is the branch of accounting that is primarily concerned with the
measurement and communication of information that summarizes and reports the financial condition and
operating results of a profit oriented corporation. These financial data are supplied to both the direct
and indirect data-users, principally in the form of financial statements. An important requirement of
financial accounting is that information should be recognized measured, and reported in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles. These accounting principles apply to all types and all sizes of
business organizations. The application of theses accounting principles is helpful to decision makers as
they evaluate a wide range of financial issues related to the business enterprise.
Financial information is intended to be useful not only to management but also to various third party data-
users. Financial accounting provides, as objective as possible, the financial information needs of both the
R. Z. Palma Financial Accounting 8
internal and external data-users who may have conflicting interest in the business affairs. The examples
of conflicting interests are:
Financial information that is favorable from management’s point of view may be unfavorable from the
government’s point of view.
Financial information that is beneficial to the stockholders may not be beneficial to the labor union.
Financial accounting supplies the information needs of the various interest groups without favoring any
particular group.
Other financial data that are not provided in the financial statement are made available to the data-users
through some other form of financial reporting, such as annual reports, prospectus, letters and financial
reviews by management, sales catalogues and brochures, etc.
Financial information is very useful as top management performs its planning, coordination, investing,
financial and, controlling activities. It needs financial information in carrying out its daily responsibilities
related to the operations of the business. Since it does not have that much time to examine details of the
operating information, frequently, it relies on the summaries of data that are made available through the
accounting internal reporting system. Specific problems that are identifiable at different organizational
levels are solved with the help of financial information that is provided by this system.

Microsoft Corporation
Microsoft started as a partnership on April 4, 1975 by William H. Gates III and Paul Allen. Microsoft was
first to dominate the computer software market with its MS-DOS system and subsequently the Windows
platform. In four years, from 1978 to 1981, Microsoft exploded and the staff increased from 25 to 128.
Revenue shot-up from $4 million to $16 million. Because of the nature of partnership, it can solicit only
limited funds in spite of being very profitable. Because of this situation, there was no way but to
incorporate. As a corporation, it is easier to issue shares of stocks to fund its’ expansion. In the middle of
1981, Microsoft was incorporated. Gates was appointed as the President and Chairman of the Board
while Paul Allen was appointed as the Executive Vice President. By 1983, Microsoft is going global with
offices in Great Britain and Japan. By this time, it was estimated that 30%of the world’s computers were
using its software. In 1986, Microsoft went public and held an initial public offering (IPO). At the
beginning of the IPO, the shares started at $21 per share, and towards the middle of 1987, the market
price of Microsoft’s stocks shot-up to $90.75 per share. Gates held 45 percent of the company’s 24.7
million shares. Gates became an instant billionaire at the age of 31.
In 1990, Microsoft launched several versions of Microsoft’s Window platform and captured over 90% of
the market share of the world’s computer software. It is almost a monopoly. In 1999, with Microsoft’s
stock price at all time high and the stock splitting 8-folds since its IPO, Gates became the number one
billionaire. How Bill Gates did it with Microsoft Corporation is one of the best marketing, production, and
financial management lessons that everyone should study.
Bill Gates, married, with two children, was worth US$50 billion, in year 2000. He is the richest man in the
world at that time. His net worth mainly came from the market value of his shares of stocks in Microsoft.
But after the anti-trust trial of Microsoft, the market price of Microsoft’s stocks stumbled and Bill Gates
net worth went down to $38 billion. (History of Microsoft-Wikipedia; Fast Facts About Microsoft; Bill
Gates Biography; Internet- Google Search)
Paul Allen, the original partner of Bill Gates, single, resigned at Microsoft in 1983 after being diagnosed
with Hodgkin’s disease. He was able to sell a great amount of his Microsoft stocks to finance his other
investments in media and communications. He also owns the NBA basketball team, the Portland
Trailblazers and the NFL Seattle Seahawks. (Paul Allen Biography; Internet – Google Search.)
R. Z. Palma Financial Accounting 12
Forbes magazine’s list of 2014 billionaires showed that Bill Gates bounced back to being the number 1
billionaire with a net worth of $78.4 billion while the second place went to Carlos Slim, the Mexico
telecom tycoon, with a net worth of P$71.6 billion and the third is Warren Buffett with a net worth of
$64.4 billion. Paul Allen is also among the world’s billionaires with a net worth of $16.1 billion. (Forbes
Magazine, 2014)
In 2020, Jeff Bezos is number one at US$130 billion while Bill Gates is number two at US$ 110 billion.
As can be seen in the above Real World Example, all large and growing firms should choose the
corporate form for one reason: ease in raising capital. Because of the limited liability, the ease of
transferring ownership through the sale of common shares and the flexibility in dividing the shares, the
corporation is the ideal business entity in terms of attracting new capital. In contrast, the unlimited
liabilities of the sole proprietorship and general partnership are deterrents to raising equity capital. Also
the impracticality of having a large number of partners and the restricted marketability of an interest in a
partnership prevent this form of organization from competing effectively with the corporation.
Without question, the ease of raising capital is the major reason for the popularity of the corporate form.
While studying the process of raising capital, we first must look at the flow of capital through the financial
markets among the corporation, individuals, and the government.
Initially, the corporation raises funds in the financial markets by selling securities or shares of stocks.
Later on, the corporation receives cash in exchange of securities sold: 1. its own shares of stocks and 2.
debt securities such as bonds. Then, the corporation invests these cash inflows in profit generating assets
or projects. And finally, the net cash flow (profit) from those projects is then given back to the equity
investors and debt security investors and the balance is either reinvested by the corporation for new
product line or business expansion.
All laws and statutes pertaining to Corporations are found in the “CORPORATION CODE OF THE
PHILIPPINES” (Batas Pambansa Blg. 68, which became effective on May 1, 1980)
Attributes of a Corporation
a. Artificial being
b. Created by operation of law
c. Has the right of succession
d. Has the powers, attributes and properties expressly authorized by law or
incident to its existence.
A corporation is an artificial being because it is created by the operation of law. Since the corporation is
created by law, it is also called as a juridical person. As a juridical person, it possessed of a personality
distinct and separated from its owners called stockholders or members. It can acquire and posses
property of all kinds, as well as incur obligations and bring civil or criminal action, in conformity with the
laws and regulations of its organization.
R. Z. Palma Financial Accounting 13
A corporation is created and organized under a general law and is considered a legal body with rights and
powers. It is not created by agreement of persons just like partnership.
The corporation shall continue to exist for the period stated in the Articles of Incorporation, and the death
of any stockholder shall not dissolve the corporation. The corporate life of a corporation continues until
the term expires or unless sooner dissolved for other causes or its term extended in accordance with law.
By succession is not meant that the corporation is immortal. It simply means that the corporation has a
continuity of existence independent of its members or shareholders. This continued existence of a
corporation is, however, limited to the period stated in its Articles of Incorporation or in the act creating it.
The death or withdrawal of the members or shareholders of a corporation will not affect its corporate
existence.
“Section 11 of the Corporation Code of the Philippines states that " A corporation shall exist for a
period not exceeding 50 years from the date of incorporation unless sooner dissolved or unless such
period is extended. The corporate term, as originally stated in the Articles of Incorporation, may be
extended for periods not exceeding 50 years in any single instance by an amendment of the Article of
Incorporation, in accordance with the Code. Provided, that no extension can be made earlier than 5
years prior to the original or subsequent expiry date(s) unless there are justifiable reasons for an
earlier extension as may be determined by the Securities and Exchange Commission."
The powers of the corporation maybe express powers or incidental powers. As a creation of law, the
corporation can perform only such powers as it may be expressly or impliedly authorized to do in
accordance with its Articles and By laws, the Corporation Code, and such other laws pertinent to a
corporation. Incidental powers are those which, although not expressly stipulated by law are inherently
necessary in the exercise of its corporate powers in the pursuit of its corporate existence.
a. those expressly granted by law, (all the rights of a natural person in pursuing the growth of a
business)
b. power inherent to corporate existence, (sue and be sued) and
c. implied powers. (other rights under the law needed for its continued existence)
From the moment a corporation acquires its own legal existence, there develops its own nationality.
If the corporation is organized in accordance with Philippine laws, then it is a Domestic Corporation.
If the corporation is organized in accordance with the laws of countries other than the Philippines, then it
is a Foreign Corporation.
“SECTION 3. Classes of Corporation. Corporations formed or organized under this Code may be
stock or non-stock corporations. Corporations which have capital stock divided into shares and
are authorized to distribute to stockholders of such shares, dividends or allotment of the surplus
profits on the basis of shares held are stock corporations. All other corporations are non-stock
R. Z. Palma Financial Accounting 14
corporation.”
Corporators are the persons who owned the corporation which include the incorporators, the
stockholders, and/or members.
Stockholders or shareholders are corporators in a stock corporation. These are the persons who own
shares of stocks in the stock corporation.
Members are corporators in a non-stock corporation. These are the persons who own membership
certificates in a non-stock corporation.
Incorporators are the original founders and organizers of the corporation, stock or non-stock. The law
provides that incorporators must be at least five (5) but not more than fifteen (15).
Incorporators are considered as corporators but not all corporators are incorporators.
“SECTION 6. Classification of Shares. - The shares of stock of stock corporations may be divided
into classes or series of shares, or both, any of which classes or series of shares may have
such rights, privileges or restrictions as may be stated in the articles of incorporation: Provided,
that no share may be deprived of voting rights except those classified and issued as ”preferred”
or “redeemable” shares, unless otherwise provided in this Code: Provided further, that there
shall always be a class or series of shares which have complete voting rights. Any or all of the
shares or series of shares may have a par value or have no par value as may be provided for in
the Articles of Incorporation: Provided, however, that banks, trust companies, insurance
companies, public utilities, and building and loan associations shall not be permitted to issue no
par value shares of stock.
Preferred shares or redeemable of stock issued by any corporation may be given preference in
the distribution of the assets of the corporation in case of liquidation and in the distribution of
dividends, or such other preferences as maybe stated in the articles of incorporation which are
not violative of the provisions of this Code: Provided, that preferred shares of stock may be
issued only with a stated par value. The Board of Directors, where authorized in the articles of
incorporation, to fix the terms and conditions of preferred shares of stock or any series thereof:
Provided, that such terms and conditions shall be effective upon the filing of a certificate thereof
with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Shares of capital stock issued without par value shall be deemed fully paid and non-assessable
and the holder of such shares shall not be liable to the corporation or to its creditors in respect
thereto: Provided, that shares without par value may not be issued for a consideration less than
the value of five (P5.00) pesos per share: Provided further, that the entire consideration received
by the corporation for its no par value shares shall be treated as capital and shall not be available
for distribution as dividend.”
In the absence of any distinction in such rights and privileges accorded to preferred and
redeemable shares, all other shares shall be called common or ordinary shares. Common or
ordinary shareholders shall always have a complete voting rights. Common or ordinary
R. Z. Palma Financial Accounting 15
shareholders are the true owners of the corporation. Normally, preferred and redeemable shares
have no voting rights.”
The Philippines is following the International Accounting Standard Council pronouncements about
account tiles, so in accounting books, you might see these changes;
As the rule states, certain shares of stocks are subject to some restrictions as follows:
1. No shares may be deprived of voting rights except the preferred and redeemable shares;
2. There shall always be a class or series of shares which have complete voting rights;
3. Any or all of the classes of shares may have a par value or no par value as may be
provided in the articles of incorporation;
4. Banks, trust companies, insurance companies, public utilities companies, and building
and loan associations can not issue no par value shares; and
5. No par value shares may be issued at less than P5.00 per share as provided by law.
The new corporation code does not require any minimum authorized capital stock as long as the paid up
capital is not less than P5,000.
Characteristics of a Corporation
The legal definition of a corporation gives the attributes of a corporation. There are, however, important
characteristics of a corporation which distinguished it from other business organizations. Some of those
characteristics are:
1. Greater capital
2. Limited liability
Like a limited partner in a partnership, a stockholder has limited liability. This means that he is
liable to corporate creditors only up to this subscriptions, in case of liquidation.
3. Better management
R. Z. Palma Financial Accounting 16
4. Unlimited life
Unlike a partnership whose life is limited or which is dissolved upon death, withdrawal of
incapacity of any partner, a corporation of its right of succession has a more stable life. It shall
exist for a period stated in the articles of incorporation or longer as when its term is extended in
accordance with law. It is dissolved only upon the expiration of the corporate term or unless
sooner dissolved for other reasons. Thus, in a corporation, the element of continuity exists.
5. Transferability of interest
A characteristic of a corporation not found in the two other forms of business is the free and ready
transferability of ownership. Shareholders may transfer their shares of stock and all other rights
that accompany them even without the consent of the other shareholders.
6. Separate entity
A corporation is a person. It is expressly considered as a juridical person to which the law grants
a juridical personality separate and distinct from that of each shareholder, e.g. it can sue and be
sued, the obligation of the corporation is not the obligation of the shareholders and vice versa.

recorded in the stock and transfer
book of the corporation.
Kinds of Corporations
A corporation is either public or private. When the intention of the organizers is to serve the people as
government-owned unit, the enterprise is known as a public corporation. Examples of this type are the
Government Service Insurance System (GSIS), the National Development Company (NDC), the Social
Security System (SSS), the Farm System Development Company (FSDC), and the National Power
Corporation (NPC). Under the old corporation law (Act 1459 Sec. 3), a public corporation is one organized
for the government or a portion of a state like a province, city or town. The officers of a public corporation
are appointed by the State or elected by the people. A private corporation is an agency or instrumentality
R. Z. Palma Financial Accounting 18
of private persons. It is created for private purposes, benefit, aim and profit. The officers of private
corporations are elected by stockholders and subject to the removal, also, by the stockholders.
Public corporations are those formed or organized for the government ( Securities and Exchange Commission
(SEC), Development Bank of the Philippines (DBP), or a portion of the state, such as town, city, province
and barangay.
Private corporations are those which are created, wholly or in part, for purposes of private benefit, profit, and
emolument. Examples: PLDT, Meralco, San Miguel Corporation, Bank of Philippine Islands, cooperatives,
religious and charitable institutions and others.
Stock corporations are those which have capital stocks divided into shares and are authorized to distribute to
the holders of shares dividends or allotments of the surplus profits on the basis of the shares held.
Non-stock corporation are those where there is no such stock, but the membership therein is otherwise
represented.
A non- stock corporation is generally non-profit in nature like religious and charitable institutions. Since no
stocks are issued, the owners are called members. This corporation may be organized for other purposes
under Sec. 88 of the Corporation Code. A Non-Stock Corporation can derive profit as long as no part of its
income will be distributed to its members. A stock corporation, which is the emphasis of this book, is
organized for the purpose of engaging in business. As such, it is profit oriented.
A corporation aggregate is composed of more than one member or stockholder, like the San Miguel
Corporation, PLDT, RCBC, Meralco and others.
A corporation sole is composed of a single member and his successors in office. Thus, for the administration of
the temporalities of any religious denomination, society or church, and the management of the state and
properties thereof, it shall be lawful for the bishop, chief priest, or presiding elder or any such religious
denomination, society or church to become a corporation sole, unless inconsistent with the rules, regulations
or discipline of his religious denomination, society, or church or forbidden by competent authority thereof.
A lay corporation is one established for temporal purposes and is comprised of laymen.
A de jure corporation is one created in strict or substantial conformity to the requirements of the law governing
corporation. Therefore, its right to exist cannot be successfully attacked in a direct proceeding for that
purpose by the State.
A de facto corporation is one so defectively created that its creation does not conform strictly or substantially
with laws governing corporation.
An eleemosynary corporation is created for purposes of charities, such as orphanage, hospitals, schools, and
the like. ( Bouvier's Law Dictionary)
R. Z. Palma Financial Accounting 19
A civil corporation is created to facilitate the transaction of business for profit. ( Bouvier's Law Dictionary)
7. As to nationality
A domestic corporation is a corporation created or existing under the laws of the Philippines.
A foreign corporation is a corporation created or existing under the laws of other States or countries other than
the Philippines.
An open corporation is one in which the general public may become a stockholder or members thereof.
A close corporation is one in which the stockholders or members are limited to a few persons such as the
members of a family only.
A parent or holding corporation is one which has the power to directly or indirectly own more than 50% shares
of voting stock of another corporation and can elect the majority of the Board of Directors of such other
corporation which is called subsidiary corporation.
A subsidiary corporation is one which is so related to another corporation that a majority of its directors can be
elected directly or indirectly by other such corporation called parent corporation. The parent corporation
owns more than 50% shares of the subsidiary corporation.
An affiliated corporation is one which has a significant influence in another corporation owning at least 20% but
not more than 50% of its outstanding common stock, or by a long term lease of its properties or other control
device.
A wasting assets corporation is one the sole purpose of which is to invest its capital in a specific property and
afterwards to consume that property or extract it's value at a profit, such as mining a property and oil or gas
well.
A government owned or controlled corporation is one organized by the government or of which the
government is the majority stockholder, such as the Philippines Railways, National Power Corporation, Land
Bank of the Philippines, and National Development Corporation . The fact that the government happens to
be a stockholder of a corporation does not make it a public corporation.
A corporation by estoppel is one which is not really a corporation but which has represented itself to the public
as a real corporation and which cannot now be permitted to deny such representation.
A quasi-public corporation is a private corporation which has accepted from the state the grant of a franchise
or contract involving the performance of public duties such as Meralco, PLDT, LRT, MRT. The mere fact that
the undertaking of the corporation is one which the state itself might enter as part of its public works does
not make it a public corporation.
A quasi corporation is an association of government or political institution or officers which is not a corporation
in the full sense but which is invested by law with some of the attributes of a corporation, such as the
capacity to sue or be sued as a corporate body, to have corporate existence unaffected by death or disability
of members, or to make particular contracts or hold particular property or rights as a corporation, such as
the Board of Accountancy and the Board of Nursing.
Owners of a Corporation
R. Z. Palma Financial Accounting 20
1. The incorporators are stockholders or members mentioned in the Articles of Incorporation as originally
forming and composing the corporation and who are signatories thereof.
6. A promoter is one who alone or with others undertakes the wish of the incorporators to form a
corporation and to obtain for it the rights, instrumentalities, and capital by which it is to carry out the
purposes, set forth in its charter, and to establish it as fully able to do its business.
7. An underwriter is one who, under the agreement with the corporation, is responsible to
sell original corporate shares to the public, and in the event the public will not take them, the underwriter
will be the one to buy them.
By provision of law , Filipino citizenship of a certain percentage of the capital stock or capital is
required in the following cases:
Stock Certificate
An investor who purchases shares of stock and who pays his subscription in full is issued a document
known as a stock certificate. It is usually the practice to issue one certificate for every block of stock
purchased. The certificate contains the name of the investor, the number and type of shares
purchased, as well as the par value per share.
Corporation Law provides that "the capital stock of a stock corporation shall be divided into shares for
which certificates signed by the president or vice-president, countersigned by the secretary, and
sealed with the seal of the corporation shall be issued in accordance with the by-laws.
Common stock as mentioned in the Philippine Corporation Code entitles the owner the power to
vote to elect a director in the Board and to a pro rata dividends, without any priority or preference
over any other stockholder. In accounting, the account title used to follow the International
Accounting Standard (IAS) is ordinary shares.
Preferred stock as mentioned in the Philippine Corporation Code is that class of stock which is
entitled to certain preferences over common stock such as over dividends and assets of the
corporation in case of liquidation. It maybe deprived of voting rights that should be stated in the
Articles of Incorporation. In accounting, the account title used to follow IAS is preference share.
The Philippine Corporation Code provides that "the shares of stock in corporations may be
divided into classes of series shares, or both, any of which classes of shares may have such
rights, privileges, or restrictions as may be stated in the articles of incorporation. To attract
investors, some corporations issue two types of shares, namely common and preferred.
Common shares entitle the owner to a pro-rata division of profits without any preference or
advantage over any class of stockholders. Preferred shares, on the other hand, entitle the owner
priority in the distribution of dividends as well as of assets of the corporation in case of
liquidation.
When we say preference over dividends, it means that although preferred shares are not
guaranteed to receive annual dividends, they are given priority over common shares, when
dividends are declared by the board of directors. Stocks which has preference as to dividends
may either be cumulative or non-cumulative and/or participating or non participating. There are
some classes of preferred shares on which payment of dividend is guaranteed and these are
called guaranteed shares.
In some cases, dividends are not declared for a certain period. This is known as a passed
dividend or dividend in arrears. If the preferred share is cumulative, it is entitled to passed
dividends or dividends in arrears. So, before dividends can be paid to common stockholders, the
corporation must first pay preferred shareholders for dividends pertaining to the previous year(s)
(dividend in arrears) that have not yet been paid as well as the current year's dividends . If the
preferred share , on the other hand, is non-cumulative, the corporation need not provide for
dividends that have passed. Thus, the stockholder is entitled only to the current year's dividends.
will proportionately be shared peso for peso by preferred and common stockholders ( if
preference shares are fully participating).
Non-participating preferred share, as the name implies, does not ( after it has received its
preferred dividends) share in the remainder of the dividend with common shares. Computation of
dividends per share is discussed in a later chapter.
When a stock is preferred as to assets, it has upon liquidation, prior claim over common shares in
the distribution of corporate assets. Shares with preference as to assets may be issued only at
par.
A voting stock is a class of stock which entitles the holder to vote in the meeting of the
corporation. This is the common stocks or ordinary shares.
A non-voting stock is a class of stock which is not entitled to vote in the meeting of the
corporation. This is normally called the preferred stock or preference share. It is expressly stated
in the articles of incorporation that it has no voting right.
Par value stock is a class of stock with a par value appearing on the face of the certificate of
stock
Non-par value stock is a class of stock without any nominal or par value on the face of the stock
certificate.
Preferred stock is required by law to have par value. However, should the corporation issue
preferred no-par value stocks, such stocks should always have stated values as required by
law.
A par value stock has a nominal value stated in the stock certificate. It serves as the minimum
amount a stockholder must pay to obtain one share of stock on its original issue.
Where the value of the property or consideration received in exchange for shares given is less
than par value on its original sale, the stock is said to be watered. Sale of watered stock is illegal
in the Philippines.
Under the Corporation Law, on its original sale, selling stock below par or at a discount is illegal.
The purchaser is held liable to the creditors of the corporation for the amount of the discount in
case of insolvency or dissolution of the corporation. Furthermore, "any director or officer of a
corporation consenting to the issuance of stock for a consideration less than its par shall be
solidarily liable with the stockholder concerned . "
4. Other classes
A formative stock is the starting minimum number of stocks to be subscribed as required by the
charter and not necessarily by the law.
R. Z. Palma Financial Accounting 23
An overissued or spurious stock is stock issued in excess of the authorized capital stock and
is therefore void.
A treasury stock is stock lawfully issued by the corporation and subsequently reacquired by it.
A watered stock is stock which has been issued by the corporation as fully paid up when in fact
it is not because it has been issued as bonus or otherwise, without any consideration at all, or for
less than par or for property, labor or services at an overvaluation.
A bonus stock is stock issued to persons who subscribe for bond of a corporation under the
condition that they shall receive an equal amount of ordinary shares therewith, and the money
paid on the subscription is payment for the bond alone.
A promotion stock is stock issued to those who, in the case of a mining company, may originally
own the mining ground or valuable rights connected therewith, in consideration of their deeding
the same to the mining company when the company is incorporated.
Shares in escrow are shares subject to an agreement under which the shares are deposited by
the grantor or his agent with a third person, to be delivered by the depository to the grantee
(buyer) or subscriber upon the happening of certain conditions. The issuance of share is subject
to suspensive condition. Title to the stock does not pass to the grantee until the conditions are
performed and delivered by the depository to the grantee. It does not retroact to the date of the
deposit of the stock.
A no par- value share has no normal value stated in the stock certificate. The corporation law
provides however, that no par stock may not be issued for an amount less that P5.00.
Another type of stock is the callable or redeemable preferred stock. This share can be redeemed
by the corporation at a specified rate, which is usually higher than par value or original issue
price. This is at the option of the corporation.
R. Z. Palma Financial Accounting 24
Convertible preferred stock is another type of stock which can be changed or converted to
another class of stock (usually common stock), at a certain price within a specified period of time
at the option of the holder.
1. Natural persons may form a corporation as provided by the law which states that, "any number of
persons not less than five (5) but not more than fifteen (15), all of legal age and majority of whom
are residents of the Philippines may form a private corporation. Each of them must own or be a
subscriber to at least one (1) share of the capital stock of the corporation."
Holding Corporations or parent corporations such as the San Miguel Corporation, Ayala
Corporation, and SM Holding Corporation have incorporated many wholly owned and majority
owned or subsidiary corporation for their own interest.
To form a corporation, the incorporators must file an application with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (SEC). (The SEC allows a corporation to be an incorporator of another corporation.)
Together with the application, they must submit their Articles of Incorporation duly notarized. A
temporary treasurer must execute an affidavit as to the amount of capital that has been subscribed
and paid. Once approved, and after the issuance of incorporation papers by the SEC, the
incorporators meet and elect the Board of Directors or Board of Trustees and pass the by-laws that
are to govern the affairs of the corporation. The Board of Directors or Board of Trustees later on
appoint a set of officers. These incorporators are also called stockholders for corporations that issue
shares of stocks to its owners and also called members for non-stock non-profit corporations. A
corporation may have more than 15 stockholders; thus, the corporation may sell shares of stocks to
as many persons as possible. At this point, the corporation’s activities may commence.
Articles of Incorporation
The articles of incorporation "enumerate the powers and restrictions conferred upon the corporation by the
government," and also constitute a contract among the incorporators. Section 14 of the Philippine Corporation
Code provides that "All corporations organized under this Code shall file with the Securities and Exchange
Commission articles of incorporation in any of the official languages duly signed and acknowledged by all of the
incorporators, containing substantially the following matters, except as otherwise prescribed by this Code or by
the special law:
R. Z. Palma Financial Accounting 25
The Securities and Exchange Commission shall not accept the articles of incorporation of any stock
corporation unless accompanied by a sworn statement of the Treasurer elected by the subscribers showing that
at least twenty-five (25%) percent of the authorized capital stock of the corporation has been subscribed, and at
least twenty-five (25%) percent of the total subscription has been fully paid to him in actual cash and/or property
the fair valuation of which is equal to at least twenty-five (25%) percent of the said subscription, such paid-up
capital being not less than five thousand (P5,000) pesos.
Corporation law also states that "unless otherwise prescribed by special law, the articles of incorporation of all
domestic corporations shall comply substantially with the following form:

By Laws
The by-laws of the corporation supplement the articles of incorporation. The by-laws usually
govern the internal administration of the organization. Included in the by-laws are matters
such as
1. The date, place and manner by which annual stockholders meetings are to be
called;
2. The manner of conducting meetings;
3. The manner of voting and the use of proxies;
4. The manner of electing the board of directors;
5. The term of office of the directors;
6. The duties of the directors;
7. The procedures for amending the articles of incorporation; and
8. The procedures for amending the by-laws.
The corporation law does not require a minimum authorized capital stock for a stock corporation,
except as specifically provided for by a special law. However, 25% of the total authorized capital
stock should be subscribed and 25% of the total subscriptions should be paid-up. And as stated
earlier, this total paid-up capital must not be less than P5,000.
The maximum number of shares that a corporation may issue as stated in its articles of incorporation
multiplied by par value is called the authorized capital stock. The firm may sell shares amounting to
less than the authorized capital stock but not more than such amount. The corporation may,
however, amend the articles of incorporation to increase/decrease authorized capital stock. But
because of the tedious process of amending the articles of incorporation, it is a usual practice to set
in the articles of incorporation a reasonable number of shares to be issued.
Illustrative Problem 1
On January 5, 2016, A, B. C, D and E formed a corporation named Alphabet Co. Inc. and filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission its Article of Incorporation for approval. It has an authorized
capital of 10,000 ordinary shares with a par value of P 100 per share or a total of P1,000,000.
Answer.
R. Z. Palma Financial Accounting 29
The authorized capital stock is equivalent to the maximum number of shares as stated in the
articles of incorporation times the par value.
10,000 shares x P100 par = P1,000,000
Question 2. How much is the minimum amount to be subscribed by the incorporators as prescribed by
the SEC?
Answer.
The incorporators must subscribe to at least 25% of the authorized capital stock of P 1,000,000
amounting to P 250,000. But this amount need not be divided equally among the incorporators.
Question 3. How much of the subscribed amount must be paid up in cash or other property?
Answer.
At least 25% of the subscribed capital of P 250,000 must be paid up. The total paid up capital
should be a minimum of P62,500. This does not mean that each of the incorporators be required
to comply with the 25% paid up requirement. There is enough legal compliance as long as the
total paid up capital is equivalent to 25% of the total subscribed capital.
Let us assume that the par value shares of a proposed corporation are divided into different
series:
Answer.
The authorized capital stock is equivalent to the maximum number of shares of each series as
stated in the articles of incorporation times the par value.
Question 2. How much should the minimum subscriptions by the incorporators be?
R. Z. Palma Financial Accounting 30
Answer.
The incorporators must subscribe to at least 25% of P 750,000 or P 187,500. But this amount
need not be divided equally among the incorporators.
Question 3. How much of the subscribed amount must be paid in cash or other property?
Answer.
At least 25% of P 187,500 must be paid up. The total paid up capital should be P46,875. This
does not mean that each of the incorporators will be required to comply with the 25% paid up
requirement. There is enough legal compliance as long as the total paid up capital is equivalent
to 25% of the total subscribed capital.
When shares with par value are sold, the proceeds should be credited to share capital accounts to
the extent of the par value of the shares with any excess being reflected as share premium or
additional paid in capital ... if shares are issued for a consideration other than cash, the proceeds
should be measured by the fair value of the consideration received. When shares are issued for
services received, then the measure should be the value of such services.
At the time the subscription contract is entered into, Subscriptions Receivable is debited and the
account credited is Subscribed Share Capital . Upon collection from the subscriber, Cash is debited
and Subscriptions Receivable is credited. When a subscription is paid in full, the subscriber is issued
a certificate. The Corporation code states that "no certificate of stock shall be issued to a subscriber
until the full amount of his subscription has been paid, " such shares are then known as issued
capital stock or issued share capital.
Subscriptions which are not yet paid in full are known as subscribed capital stock. In accounting,
the account title is subscribed share capital.
Unpaid subscriptions, may, under the Corporation Code, vote in stockholders meetings
and shall be entitled to dividends, unless such shares are declared delinquent. Unpaid
subscriptions are considered as outstanding shares although not yet issued.
In accounting, a share of stock is issued when its stock certificate is already in the hand of the
stockholder. Issued shares of stock are always outstanding shares in accounting and in law.
However, in law, once a share has been subscribed for, it is already outstanding although its stock
certificate had not been issued. Therefore, for purposes of distribution of dividends, even if the
R. Z. Palma Financial Accounting 31
shares have not been fully paid, as long as it was subscribed and with an official subscription
agreement, it will get its share of the dividend.
In accounting, recording of journal entries is based on the date of subscription, date of payment, and
date of issuance of stock certificate. A share of stock becomes issued and outstanding only upon
issuance of a certificate which is an evidence as to full payment of the subscription price.
The law will prevail over accounting practices. Therefore, when computing for outstanding shares,
add the total shares issued and the total shares subscribed minus the number of treasury shares.
When a corporation purchases back its own issued shares of stock such share are called
treasury shares. In case of a treasury share, it is said to be issued but not outstanding. It is a
deduction in the number of outstanding shares and does not receive dividend. A treasury share is
also called treasury stock.
Legal Capital
For par value shares, legal capital is that amount equal to the aggregate of all issued and
subscribed par value shares times its par value.
For no-par value shares, legal capital is the aggregate of cash or fair value of non-cash assets
received as compensation for all issued no-par value shares.
On January 5, 2016, A, B. C, D and E formed a corporation named Alphabet Co. Inc. and filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission its Articles of Incorporation for approval. It has an
authorized capital of 10,000 ordinary shares with a par value of P 100 per share or a total of
P1,000,000.
On February 5, 2016, the Securities and Exchange Commission approved the Articles of
Incorporation showing the following information:
Question 1. How much is the authorized share capital? Answer: P1,000,000 (given)
(10,000 shares x P100 par)
Question 2. How much is the issued share capital ? Answer: P250,000 (given)
(2,500 shares x P100 par)
Question 3. How many shares of stock have been issued? Answer: 2,500 shares (given)
If not given, it can be computed: P250,000 / P100 par = 2,500 shares
Question 4. How many shares of stock are still unissued? Answer: 7,500 shares.
Authorized share capital minus issued equals unissued.
Question 5. How many shares are subscribed? Answer: 3,000 shares (given)
If not given, it can be computed: Subscribed share capital / par value = no. of shares subscribed
P300,000 / P100 par = 3,000 shares
Outstanding shares includes all issued shares plus subscribed shares less treasury
shares. Therefore, all issued shares (2,500 shares) are outstanding and subscribed shares (3,000
shares) by law are also outstanding, there is no treasury share, so there are 5,500 shares
outstanding. (2,500 shares + 3,000 shares = 5,500 shares)
Question 7. How many shares are issued and outstanding? Answer: 5,500 shares
The answer is the same as no. 5 because subscribed shares are also considered as outstanding:
Question 8. How many shares are unissued and yet outstanding? Answer: 3,000 shares
Answer: The subscribed shares, 3,000 shares is unissued and yet outstanding. According
to the law even if the shares are not yet issued, as long as there is a valid subscription
agreement, the shares are outstanding. Only outstanding shares shall receive dividends
declared. Subscribed shares shall receive dividends together with those issued shares but
treasury shares do not receive dividends as they are not considered as outstanding shares.
Question 9. How much is the total paid up capital or contributed capital? Answer: P555,000
Contributed capital equals: issued share capital + subscribed share capital – subscription receivable +
share premium (The total amount received from shareholders of the corporation.)
Answer:
Share Capital (issued) P 250,000
+ Subscribed share capital P 300,000
Subscription receivable ( 50,000)
Partial payment 250,000
+ Share premium 55,000
Total Contributed Capital or paid up capital P 555,000
Question 10. How much is the premium per share on share capital issued and subscribed?
Answer: P10 per share
Answer.
Total share premium P55,000
Divided by total shares issued and subscribed 5,500
Equals: Share premium or additional paid in capital per share P 10

After studying Chapter 3, the students should be able to:
Financial Statements
The financial information being provided to users are called financial statements. These financial
statements are general purpose financial statement. General purpose financial statements are prepared
at least annually and are directed toward the common needs of a wide range of users who are not in the
position to demand reports tailored to meet their particular information need. General purpose financial
statements are prepared by all commercial, industrial, and business reporting entities, whether in the
public or private sectors. A reporting entity is an entity for which there are users who rely on the financial
statements as their major source of financial information about the entity.
According to PAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statement (revised 2007), paragraph 10, a complete set
of financial statements comprises:
Every businessman must know the full potential of his company and be thoroughly aware of the means
by which this potential can be realized before he can guide his organization to ultimate success. And no
manager can consider himself entirely informed about the position of his company, his competitors, or
his industry unless he understands financial statements and the information they contain. He cannot rely
upon general impressions of financial structure or vague notions of the competitive climate to provide
him with an adequate background for making the exact decisions which successful operations demand.
Precise financial knowledge is absolutely essential in making the right decisions, and this knowledge is
within the grasp of every manager who understands how to use the income statement, balance sheet,
cash flows statements and financial statements analysis.
The chief executive officer (CEO) or any corporate officers considered as among those belonging to the
top management echelon, need not be an accountant, an auditor, or a CPA. He can master fundamental
financial management skill and make major policy decision with assurance if:
1. He knows the meaning of each asset and liability account on his balance sheet and
and the meaning of each major item appearing on the income statement;
2. He is thoroughly familiar with the financial ratio analysis of his financial statements so that
he can accurately assess his company’s position and draw meaningful conclusions when
comparing the results of his company with those of its competitor and industry
The objective of financial statements is to provide information about the financial position, financial
performance, and cash flows of an entity that is useful to a wide range of users in making economic
decisions.
Financial statements prepared for this purpose meet the common needs of most users. However,
financial statements do not provide all the information that users may need to make economic decisions
since they largely portray the financial effects of past events and do not necessarily provide non-financial
information.
Financial statements also show the result of the stewardship of management, or the accountability of
management for the resources entrusted to it. Those users such as share holders, who wish to assess
the stewardship or accountability of management do so in order that they may make economic
decisions; these decisions may include, for example, whether to buy some more or hold or sell their
investment or whether to reappoint or replace the management.
a. assets;
b. liabilities;
c. equity;
d. income and expenses, including gains and losses;
e. changes in equity; and
f. cash flows.
“Financial statements shall present fairly the financial position, financial performance and cash
flows of an entity. Fair presentation requires the faithful representation of the effects of transactions,
other events and conditions in accordance with definitions and recognition criteria for assets,
liabilities, income and expense set out in the Framework.
The application of the International Financial Reporting Standard (IFIRS), with additional disclosure
when necessary, is presumed to result in financial statements that achieve a fair presentation.”
The management of an entity is primary responsible in the preparation and presentation of its financial
statements. The Board of Directors reviews and authorizes the financial statements for issuance to the
stockholders of the entity and to the public.
As required by the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Bureau of Internal Revenue, all
audited financial statements should include the Statement of Management Responsibility, which state
that the management of the company is primarily responsible for the preparation of the financial
statements being audited. (Show the students an example, see appendix.)
Accounting evolve through time with the needs of society and because of this, accountants develop rules,
procedures, and conventions that become the generally accepted accounting principles. These GAAP is
the accounting standard being followed in the preparation of financial statements.
In the Philippines, the development of GAAP was initially formalized through the creation in 1981 of the
Accounting Standard Council (ACS). The accounting standards promulgated by ASC constitute the GAAP
in the Philippines.
From the start of the accounting profession up to 1995, the Philippines is developing its accounting
standard following the standard setting body in the USA, the Financial Accounting Standard Board
(FASB). But beginning 1996, the Philippines have started to develop new accounting standard or GAAP
based from another international organization based in London, the International Accounting Standard
Board (IASB). The pronouncements of IASB are called “International Financial Reporting Standard”
(IFRS). Today, there are professional accounting bodies from 115 countries, including the Philippines,
whose financial reporting and measurement standards are aligned with the International Accounting
Standard Board (IASB).
Republic Act 9298 otherwise known as the Accountancy Act of 2004 was passed and approved with the
objective of standardization and regulation of accounting education and practices in the Philippines.
Today, the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) includes those principles regarding the
recognition criteria for assets, liabilities, income and expense set out in the PAS ‘s Framework for the
Preparation and Presentation of Financial Statement.
The following are the various GAAPs as presented in the Framework for the preparation of
financial statements:
Accrual accounting refers to the recording of revenues of a company as these are earned and
expenses as these are incurred, even when no money has changed hands yet. Under this basis,
the effects of transactions and other events are recognized, when they occur (and not as cash or its
equivalents is received or paid) and they are recorded in the accounting records and reported in
the financial statements of the periods to which they relate.
3. Cost Principle
The financial statements shall be prepared on the basis of historical cost, except when a Standard
or Interpretation permits, and do not take into account changing market prices and current cost of
non-current assets. Assets are recorded at the amount of cash or cash equivalents paid or the fair
value of the consideration given to acquire them at the time of their acquisition.
receipts, promissory notes and others. An omission can cause information to be false or
misleading and thus unreliable.
Neutrality Principle
This is one of the elements of reliability. To be reliable, the information contained in the financial
statements must be neutral, that is free from bias.
Completeness Principle
This is an element of reliability. To be reliable, the information in the financial statements must be
complete within the bounds of materiality and cost. An omission can cause information to be false
and misleading and thus unreliable and deficient in terms of its relevance.
7. Matching Principle
Expenses are recognized in the period in which the related revenue was earned. The cost of
inventory sold, therefore, is charged from income in the period when the sale (revenue) was made.
Cost that are difficult to match with revenues earned during the period, or whose benefit in future
periods is uncertain or indeterminable, are immediately recognized as expense such as research
and development expenses. This is also called Matching cost against revenue principle.
1. Timeliness
Financial statements should be reported to users within a shortest period of time. If there is undue
delay in the reporting of information, it may lose its relevance to users. It may be necessary to
report the financial statements even before some immaterial transaction or other event are known,
An entity whose financial statements comply with generally accepted accounting principles shall make
an explicit and unreserved statement of such compliance in the notes to the financial statements.
Financial statements shall not be described as complying with GAAP unless they comply with the
Philippine Accounting Standard or all the requirements of each applicable Philippine Financial
Reporting Standard (PFRS).

Chapter 4
Income Statement and Statement of Financial Position
Learning Objectives
After studying Chapter 4, the students should be able to:
PAS 1 is effective for annual financial statement periods beginning on or after January 1, 2005.
Income Statement
Income statement is that financial statement that shows the financial performance of the entity during
a given period of time, usually a year. The financial performance is also called the result of operation
during a given period of time. Income statement measures the profitability of the entity considering its
resources. Sometimes it is also called Profit and Loss statement.
Income
The conceptual framework defines income as an increase in economic benefit during the accounting
period in the form of inflows or enhancements of assets or decreases of liabilities that result in increases
of equity, other than those relating to contributions from equity participants. According to PAS 1,
R. Z. Palma Financial Accounting 65
paragraph 74 to 77, the term income includes revenues and gains. Revenue arises in the course of
the ordinary activities of an entity that include sales of products, professional fees, service income,
interest income, dividend income, royalty income and rent income. Gains represent other items that
meet the definition of income and may, or may not, arise in the course of ordinary activities of the
enterprise. Gains represent increases in economic benefits and as such are no different in nature from
revenue. Gains are incidental income from peripheral transaction of the entity. Gains include, for
example, those arising on the disposal of non-current assets, those unrealized gains arising on the
revaluation of marketable securities and those resulting from increases in the carrying amount of long
term assets. It is normally reported as other income .
Expense
Expense is the opposite of income. The conceptual framework defines expense as a decrease in
economic benefit during the accounting period in the form of outflow or depletion of assets or incident of
liabilities that result in the decrease of equity, other than those relating to distributions to equity
participants. According to PAS 1, paragraph 78 to 80, the definition of expenses encompasses losses
as well as those expenses that arise in the course of the ordinary activities of the entity. Expenses that
arise in the course of ordinary activities of the entity include, for example, cost of sales, wages and
depreciation. They usually take the form of an outflow or depletion of assets such as cash and cash
equivalents, inventory, property, plant and equipment. Losses represent other items that meet the
definition of expenses and may, or may not, arise in the course of the ordinary activities of the entity.
Losses include, for example, those resulting from disasters such as fire, flood, as well as those arising
on disposal of non-current assets. It also includes unrealized losses arising from the effects of increases
in the rate of exchange for a foreign currency in respect of the borrowings of an entity in that currency.
When losses are recognized in the income statement, they are usually displayed separately because
knowledge of them is useful for the purpose of making economic decisions. Losses are often reported
net of related income, for example, fire losses are reported net of proceeds from insurance company.
Losses are usually reported as other expenses.
4. Other expenses
R. Z. Palma Financial Accounting 66
Other expenses are expenses or losses from peripheral or incidental transaction of the entity such
as loss on sale of investments, property, plant and equipment, loss due to flood, loss due to fire,
loss on foreign exchange, loss on revaluation of trading securities, loss from expropriation and
others of the same nature.
PAS 1, paragraph 81 states that, the revaluation or restatement of assets and liabilities gives rise to
increases or decreases in equity. While these increases or decreases meet the definition of income and
expenses, they are not included in the income statement under certain concept of capital
maintenance. Instead these items are included in equity as capital maintenance adjustment or
revaluation reserves. For example, the revaluation increment of land and the unrealized income (losses)
from revaluation of long term investments.
PAS 1 states that an entity shall present on the face of the income statement an analysis of expenses
using classification based on either the function of expenses or the nature of expenses whichever
provides information that is reliable and more relevant.
The function of expense method is the most commonly used form of income statement, because it is
more reliable and more relevant. It is also called the cost of sales method. It classifies expenses as to
function such as cost of goods sold, selling expenses, administrative expenses, financing cost, and other
income and other expenses. To the Filipinos, this is the common form that they are used to and
therefore easily understood, thus will give more relevant information to them.
The revised SFAS Bulletin No. 1 is based on International Accounting Standard that recommends the
use of income statement presented at the minimum using line items with supporting notes for the details
is shown below.
An example Income Statement for a Corporation using the Function of Expense Method or Cost of
Sales Method with notes is shown below:

The Statement of Financial Position, commonly known as the balance sheet, is that financial statement
that shows the financial position and condition of an entity as of a particular date. It shows the three
elements of balance sheet: assets, liabilities, and equity and with proper analysis, it will show the
company’s ability to pay current and long-term obligations as well as the management’s efficiency in
using the company’s resources.
R. Z. Palma Financial Accounting 70
The three elements of financial position: assets, liabilities and equity are explained below:
1. Assets.
Assets are economic resources owned by the entity as a result of past transactions and events from
which future economic benefits are expected to flow to the entity.

cycle is not clearly identifiable, its duration is assumed to be twelve months.
Current assets are also called liquid assets, and presented in the statement of financial position
(balance sheet) in the order of liquidity or nearness to cash.
Cash comprises cash on hand and cash in bank, petty cash fund, change fund, etc..

R. Z. Palma Financial Accounting 71

current assets are non-current assets.
a. Property, plant and equipment such as: land; building; furniture and fixtures; office equipment;
delivery equipment; factory machinery and equipment; tools, molds and dies; and their
corresponding contra – asset account, accumulated depreciation. This is also called fixed assets
b. Long term investments such as: investment in stock; investment in bonds; investment in
subsidiary; investment in associates, accounted for by the equity method; cash surrender value;

containers deposit for oxygen and acetylene tanks and soft drinks)
2. Liabilities (Debts)
Liabilities are present obligations of an entity arising from past transactions or events, the settlement of
which is expected to result in an outflow of economic resources from the entity. An amount owed to
another person to be paid in the future.
Current liabilities are obligations that are expected to be settled within one year or the entity’s normal
operating cycle whichever is longer. The entity does not have an unconditional right to defer the
settlement of the liabilities for at least twelve months after the balance sheet date
Current liabilities are presented in the balance sheet in the order of maturity or nearness to date of
payment. The sub-classification of current liabilities are:
a. Payables:
Trade payables are current obligations that arise directly to the acquisition of inventories and non-
current assets used in the operation and uses such accounts as: accounts payable; notes payable
– trade, advance deposit from customers, installment payable, current portion.
Non-trade payables are current obligations that are not included in the definition of trade payables
and uses such accounts : dividend payable; bank over drafts; SSS payable, withholding tax

e. Current portion of long term debt, such as the current portion of a long term installment
payable; and
f. Current tax liability such as income tax payable, VAT payable and percentage tax payable.
All liabilities that will mature beyond one year from balance sheet date are non-current liabilities. In
short, all liabilities that are not considered as current are non-current liabilities.
3. Shareholders’ Equity
The shareholders’ equity is the residual interest in the assets of the corporation after deducting all its
liabilities.
The shareholders' equity section of the balance sheet has four sub-classifications, presented as follows:
4. Treasury shares, the re-acquired owned shares of stock previously issued. (Deduction)
Share Capital
Under paragraph 76, of PAS 1, share capital should disclose in the notes for each class of capital
stock the following:
Reserves
Reserves should disclose the description of the nature and purpose of each reserve. The following
account titles are included in the reserve portion:
2. Appropriation reserves - those appropriated from retained earnings for a specific purpose. This
reserve is also called restricted retained earnings or appropriated retained earnings.
Examples are:
a. Appropriated for Plant Expansion
b Appropriated for Retirement of Preference shares
c. Appropriated for Contingencies
d. Appropriated for Treasury Stock acquisition
e. Appropriated for Bond Redemption
4. Unrealized gain (loss) of non-current investment, for temporary increase or decline in value.
Retained Earnings
Retained Earnings account is the accumulated profits minus losses, and dividend distribution from the
inception of the corporation. It is also called the Surplus Profit. Only the retained earnings at the end of
the period will be shown on the face of the balance sheet and should include only the free or
R. Z. Palma Financial Accounting 74
unappropriated retained earnings. The appropriated retained earnings is included in the reserves
portion.
Treasury Share
Treasury Share or treasury stock is the account title used to denote the acquisition of the corporation’s
own shares of stocks that have previously been issued. This is normally debited at cost. When the
corporation reacquires issued shares from the stockholders, these reacquired shares are called treasury
shares or treasury stocks. When the corporation does not formally retire or cancel these reacquired
shares or treasury share, the share is said to be issued but not outstanding. Therefore, treasury shares
does not earn dividend. This is a deduction from the Shareholders’ Equity.
The revised SFAS Bulletin No. 1 is based on International Accounting Standard that recommends the

Cash means that it must be readily available for use for payment of operational expenses and all current
obligations and therefore unrestricted in use. It includes the following: 1) cash on hand (cash in the
office vault, cash collections awaiting deposit); 2) cash in bank (savings and current deposit which are
unrestricted as to withdrawal and use; 3) cash fund, set aside for current purpose (petty cash fund,
change fund, payroll fund, dividend fund)
PAS 7 defines “cash equivalents” as short-term and highly liquid investments that are readily
convertible into cash and so near their maturity that they represent insignificant risk of changes in value
because of changes in interest rates. The standard also states that only highly liquid investments that
are acquired 3 months before maturity can qualify as cash equivalent.

Office supplies inventory and store supplies inventory, if there are any, are always classified as prepaid
expense because of materiality principle. Normally, all purchases of office supplies and store supplies
are expensed out immediately.
Land-Appraisal increment (debit) is an additional value for land and therefore a non-current asset, in
Plant, property and equipment section, but the Revaluation increment in property-land (credit) is a
Shareholder Equity account to be included in Reserve.
Cash surrender value is the amount that the insurance company will pay upon the surrender and
cancellation of the life insurance policy at the end of the third year or time thereafter. It is classified as a
long-term investment.
Plant expansion fund is a cash item but restricted for its use. It was set aside specifically for plant
expansion and cannot be use for other purposes. Therefore, not included as current asset but non-
current asset. It is classified as long term investment because it is directly related to PPE to be
constructed or built and not yet operational. PPE are included in the investing activities portion of Cash
Flow Statement. Other funds included in this category are: sinking fund, preferred stock redemption fund,
contingency fund, insurance fund, fund for acquisition of property.
Idle land, to be sold 10 years from now, is a non-current asset, but not included in the PPE because it is
not used in operation. It was acquired precisely for the purpose of investment and not for use in the
operation of the business.
Note receivable, long term portion is a non-current trade receivable from customer. When working capital
is used to lend and earn interest, it is an investing activity in the cash flow statement and therefore
should be classified as long term investment.

Chapter 5
Statement of Cash Flows
Learning Objectives
After studying Chapter 5, the students should be able to:
1. Prepare the cash flow statement using the direct method; and
2. Prepare the cash flow statement using the indirect method;
PAS 7 becomes effective for financial statements covering period beginning on or after January 1, 2005.
(Equivalent to International Accounting Standard 7)
The objective of this Standard is to require the provision of information about the historical changes in
cash and cash equivalents of an entity by means of a cash flow statement which classifies cash flows
during the period from operating, investing and financing activities.
Information about the cash flows of an entity is useful in providing users of financial statements with a
basis to assess the ability of the entity to generate cash and cash equivalents and the needs of the entity
to utilize those cash flows. The economic decisions that are taken by users require an evaluation of the
ability of an entity to generate cash and cash equivalents and the timing and certainty of their generation.
Cash flow statement is an integral part of an entity’s financial statements for each period for which
financial statements are prepared.
A cash flow statement is very useful when used in conjunction with the rest of the financial statements,
provides information that enable users to evaluate the changes in net assets of an entity, its financial
structure (including its liquidity and solvency) and its ability to affect the amounts and timing of cash
flows in order to adapt to changing circumstances and opportunities.
Definition of Terms
Cash equivalents are short term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts
of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.
R. Z. Palma Financial Accounting 102
Cash flows are inflows and outflows of cash and cash equivalents.
Inflow of cash means cash is received by the company or there is an increase in amount of cash
account. Inflow of cash is also called cash receipt.
Outflow of cash means cash is paid by the company or there is a decrease in the amount of cash
account. Out flow of cash also called cash payment.
Cash flow statement was originally called the Statement of Sources and Uses of Cash.
There are two methods in presenting operating activities: direct method and indirect method.
Direct Method
The direct method converts individual cash receipts and cash payments to cash inflows (sources of
cash) and cash outflow (usage of cash).
Indirect Method
The indirect method makes the necessary adjustments to net income to arrive at the net cash flow from
operating activities. The process necessitate the analysis of changes in balance sheet accounts.
1. Cash flows from operating activities – Income Statement, Current Asset, Current Liabilities.
2. Cash flows from investing activities - Non-current asset or capital expenditures (CAPEX), short-
term investment and long term investment.
3. Cash flows from financing activities – Non-current liabilities , Shareholders equity, bank loan.
Cash flows from operating activities are the principal revenue-producing activities of the entity and
other activities that are not considered as investing or financing activities. This is essentially the
conversion of income statement items to inflow and outflow of cash. Operating activities are cash flows
that involves income statement accounts, current assets accounts (except cash and cash equivalents and
short term investments) and current liabilities accounts. This is the cash flow from the result of
operation.
Cash flows from investing activities are the acquisition and disposal of long-term assets and short term
and long term investments, not included in cash equivalents. Investing activities are cash flows that
involves, all investment accounts (short-term and long term), and buy and sell of all non-current assets.
Cash flows from financing activities are activities that result in changes in the size and composition of
the contributed equity and borrowings of the entity. Financing activities are cash flows that involve, all
non-current liabilities accounts, bank loans and equity accounts.
The direct method shows where the cash comes from (inflows) and where the cash is used (outflows)
specifically as shown below:
Financing 1. Cash proceeds from bank loan 1. Cash payments for the principal
where the company is the borrower of the loan where the company is the
borrower
2. Cash receipts from the sale of 2. Cash payments for dividends to
Of new shares of stocks the company’s own shareholders
( par value + premium)
3. Cash receipts from sale of 3. Cash payments for purchase of
treasury shares treasury shares. (buy back)

Indirect Method
Indirect method may be used for cash flows from Operating Activities only. Indirect method is not used
for cash flows from investing and financing activities. The direct method is always used for cash flows
from investing and financing activities.
When indirect method is used, according to GAAP, it is called Reconciliation of net income to net
cash flows of operating activities. This reconciliation is called the indirect method of cash flow from
operating activities.
The indirect method is easier to prepare because it involves: 1) non-cash expenses, such as
depreciation expense, depletion expense, amortization expense of intangible assets, amortization of
premium on bond investment, amortization of discount on bond investment and 2) changes in the
balances of each current assets and current liabilities account, except cash and current investments,
from last year to this year. All we have to do is to note down the increase or decrease of each accounts
and we can now prepare the indirect method of cash flows on operating activities.
Inflow or Outflow
R. Z. Palma Financial Accounting 109
Explanation:
When the company bought merchandise inventory for cash, there will be an increase in
Merchandise inventory account, consequently, there will be payment, an out flow of cash.
When the company collected its accounts receivable account, there was a decrease
in accounts receivable. Thus, there was be an inflow of cash.
3. Increase in current liabilities
When the company made a short-term borrowing (note payable, for example) from
the bank, the notes payable account will increase, consequently, the company have
received cash from the bank, an inflow.
When the company paid its accounts payable to suppliers, the accounts payable
decreased, and thus, there was an outflow of cash.
5. Net result with the simultaneous increase in current assets and increase in current
liabilities
When the company bought merchandise inventory on account, there will be an increase in
merchandise inventory account. Since the term is on account, there will be an
increase in accounts payable account. The result is a simultaneous outflow and an
inflow resulting in a no cash flow at all because they will offset each other.

from last year to this year. All we have to do is to note down the increase or decrease of each accounts
and we can now prepare the indirect method of cash flows on operating activities.
An increase in current assets (except cash account and marketable or trading securities) is an
outflow. Consequently, a decrease in current assets (except cash account and marketable or
trading securities) is an inflow.
Explanation:
When the company bought merchandise inventory for cash, there will be an increase in
Merchandise inventory account, consequently, there will be payment, an out flow of cash.
When the company collected its accounts receivable account, there was a decrease
in accounts receivable. Thus, there was be an inflow of cash.
When the company made a short-term borrowing (note payable, for example) from
the bank, the notes payable account will increase, consequently, the company have
received cash from the bank, an inflow.
When the company paid its accounts payable to suppliers, the accounts payable
decreased, and thus, there was an outflow of cash.
5. Net result with the simultaneous increase in current assets and increase in current
liabilities
When the company bought merchandise inventory on account, there will be an increase in
merchandise inventory account. Since the term is on account, there will be an
increase in accounts payable account. The result is a simultaneous outflow and an
inflow resulting in a no cash flow at all because they will offset each other.

Chapter 6
BUDGETING
Learning Objectives
At the end of this chapter, the student should be able to:
b. compute for expected value of sales estimates, and budgeted figures for
production volume, materials usage, materials purchases, materials cost, labor hours, direct labor
cost, fixed and variable factory overhead cost, inventories, cost of goods manufactured, cost of
good sold, operating expenses, and financing charges; and finally
c. state how budgeted financial statements are used in controlling operations activities.
Corporate Planning
In any task, to attain an objective, an intelligent forecasting is necessary to visualize what will happen in
the future. Also, in order to ascertain what one wishes to attain, the first thing to do is to determine the
activities and resources needed to achieve those intended results. The second thing to do is to determine
how much cash is needed and if there is a need to borrow. If the process is complex, the means to
achieve those results should be documented because of the human tendency to forget and the difficulty
of mentally processing many facts and relationship at the same time.
One of the most important tool of management of large and growing corporation is the PLANNING
PROCESS. Planning is the cornerstone of effective management, and effective planning requires that
managers must predict, with reasonable precision, the key variables that affect company performance
R. Z. Palma Financial Accounting 129
and condition. These predictions provide management a foundation for effective resource allocation and
effective control of operation.
Strategic Planning
Strategic planning is the process of making long term organizational goals. Managers who plan on a long-
range basis (5 to 10 years) are engage in strategic planning. During the strategic planning process,
managers agreed on a long-range organizational goals and objectives and on how to achieve them.
Normally, long term goals are stated in an abstract and qualitative achievements such as: 1. “To become
the market leader in 5 years”; 2. “To become the biggest company in the Philippines in terms of assets in
10 years”
An example is the San Miguel Corporation. In the nineties, San Miguel Corporation strategic plan was to
be the biggest food company in the Philippines. They were able to attain its goal. Last decade, San
Miguel Corporation strategic plan is to diversify into energy, infrastructure, telecommunications and
transportation industry. They are now in energy, expressways, airports, and even tried to buy the
Philippine Air Lines from Lucio Tan but failed. It seems they are doing good with their strategic plan. Their
bottom line is getting better and the market price of their shares of stocks are increasing in the stock
market. The stockholders are very happy with the performance of the present top management.
On the other hand, long term objectives are stated as desired quantifiable results to attain such long
term goals just like the following: 1. “To increase the production capacity of a particular product to
1,000,000 units per month within 5 years”; 2. “To increase our branches from 10 branches, at present, to
50 branches in 4 years.”
Tactical Plan
After setting up the strategic plan, the next step is to divide this period into short term period, normally a
year. Each year is the stepping stone toward the long-term goals and objectives, this is the tactical plan.
Tactical planning is the process of making short term organizational goals and objectives. During the
tactical planning process, managers will come up with a tactical strategy to attain its tactical plan. A
tactical plan is an annual strategy. It is an integration of all organization’s important marketing, operations
and financial policies and programs into a cohesive whole to attain its annual goals and objectives. The
tactical plan shall marshal and allocate the organization’s limited resources into a viable posture to best
achieve its objectives considering its weakness and strengths relative to expected opportunities and
potential threats in the immediate future. A tactical plan is adopted in anticipation of the potential acts and
responses of an intelligent competitor. According to Webster’s Ninth New Collegiate Dictionary, on page
1201, “tactical” means: “ (1) of or relating to small-scale actions serving a larger purpose; (2) made or
carried out with only limited or immediate end in view.”
The different levels of management in an organization are involved in tactical formulation for it is
imperative that each department’s strategy fits into the total organization’s tactical plan. Thus the Sales
department must have a marketing tactical plan, the Operations department must have a production
tactical plan for volume of production as well as product research and development, and finally, the
Finance department must have its cash tactical plan to determine the sufficiency of cash for the whole
year.
Budgeting
Budgeting is a process of forecasting of financial results and financial position of a company for one or
more years in the future. It involves computation of estimated future sales, future purchases, future
expenses, and future cash collections and payments.
R. Z. Palma Financial Accounting 130
When tactical plans are converted into a financial plan, or when all activities and transactions in the
tactical plan are translated into equivalent monetary income and expenses and cash collections and
payments, the process is called budgeting process.
Objectives of Budgeting
1. Planning. It is the process of estimating the cost of future activities of each department concerned
and its effect on the company’s profit plans, in the form of budgeted income statement.
2. Coordination. It brings about coordination and cooperation between sales department and
production department, production department and planning and control department, and among all
other departments.
Budget Manual
When the company is large and the budgeting process is complicated, a budget manual is desirable. The
budget manual is a set of written policies, instructions and guidelines to serve as a reference in the
implementation of an operating program. In general, it contains its objectives, definition of terms,
functions, authority, responsibility, and duties of those involved in the budget process, procedures of
budgetary preparation, budgeting time and schedule, and how to obtain budgetary approval.
The use of a budget manual helps in gaining the cooperation of the people in the different management
levels in an enterprise and promotes coordination of effort.
Budgeting Process
1. Zero-Base Budgeting
In the appraisal of a new corporate project such as the opening of a new branch or the formation of a
subsidiary corporation, or the introduction of a new product or product line, a technique in planning has
come into existence which is called the zero-base budgeting.
Zero-base budgeting (ZBB) has been defined as a management process, which provides systematic
consideration of all programs projects and activities from scratch. This is the process used in preparing
feasibility studies of a new business. It is research based. There is no historical basis for estimating future
revenues and expenses. In other words, it refers to the process of estimating the total project cost and
how to allocate these financial and human resources to arrive at the expected result. It identifies
marketing and operations activities, analyze them and decide the best way to do it,
The term “zero-base” connotes, the budget is prepared starting with clear slate or with a zero starting
point. The preceding year’s budget is not used as base in allocating resources for the current year. Thus,
the budget for advertising and promotion expense last year was zero because sales was assumed to be
zero and the budget for this year’s advertising and promotion expense should be based on the projected
R. Z. Palma Financial Accounting 131
sales revenue. Also, the budget for material cost last year was zero because production is assumed to be
zero. The budgeted material cost this year should be based on the projected production volume.
For example, assuming that budgeted sales revenue this year is P4,000,000, advertising and promotion
expense budget may be a fraction of sales revenue say 1% of sales or P40,000.. Advertising and
promotion expense may be estimated and directed toward various class of customers so P30,000 worth
of advertising will be spent towards C, D and E class of customers and only P10,000 of advertising will be
spent for class A and B.
Incremental Budgeting
Incremental budgeting is also called the traditional approach to budgeting . It is used by the majority of
small, medium and large companies, even by the government, and it uses the actual figures of the
current and previous years as the base or starting point in determining the budget for the following year.
Before the start of the budgeting process, all cost and expense items in the actual income statement
should be classified into fixed costs and expenses, variable costs and expenses and mixed costs
and expenses. It will facilitate the preparation of budgeted income statement. The variable costs and
expenses in the income statement are: 1) commission of salesmen and delivery expenses (the basis is
peso sales or quantity (units) sold), 2) direct materials, direct labor, and variable factory overhead (the
basis is production volume (units) ). The rest will be fixed costs and expenses. If there is a big amount of
mixed or semi-variable expenses, separate the variable portion and the fixed portion using the high and
low method. After separation, only the variable and fixed costs cost and expenses will remain.
Definition of terms:
Variable costs and expenses are costs and expenses that changes in direct proportion to the volume of
sales or volume of production as the case maybe. Salesmen’s commission is a variable expense based
on sales volume or amount, while direct materials and direct labor is a variable cost based on production
volume.
Fixed cost and expenses are costs and expenses that do not change regardless of the volume of sales
or volume of production within the relevant range. For example, depreciation expense using the straight
line method, real estate tax paid every year to the city hall, fixed security agency expense, rent expense
of the store, and others.
Mixed cost and expenses, (sometimes called semi-variable) are costs and expenses that contain both
fixed and variable element. An example is when the factory has only one electric meter used for
administrative and production expenses. The electricity for administrative expenses is almost fixed
because electricity is used every working day from eight o’clock in the morning to five o’clock in the
afternoon while electricity for production is variable because they use electricity only when they have
production activities. The two can be separated using several methods, the easiest of which is the High
and Low method. For our illustrations, we will use the High and Low Method.
Arimunding-munding Enterprise is a merchandising concern. It buys its lone product “Sexy dress” from a
lone supplier and sells the same to the public for a profit.
Before preparing the budget for 2021, the following historical data are taken from the accounting records:
4. There is no interest expense last year because no borrowing was made during the year.
1. The purchasing department projected that there will be no increase in the cost of merchandise that
will be purchased..
2. The sales department projected also that there will be no increase in the unit selling price of the
product.
3.The sales department projected an increase in its sales volume by 20%, from 10,000 units to
12,000 units.
4. The rate of variable cost and expenses will remain the same.
5. Fixed expenses will increase by P50,000 because of estimated increase in employees’ salaries and
wages.
6. No borrowings during 2021 so no interest expense.
7. Income tax rate is 30%.
Required: Prepare the Budgeted Income Statement for the year 2021.
Using the accounting information and assumptions above, the budgeted Income Statement for
2021 is shown below:
Arimunding-munding Enterprises
Budgeted Income Statement
For 2021
Operating expenses:
Variable operating expenses :
Salesmen’s commission (2,400,000 x 4%) ( 96,000)
Delivery expense (2,400,000 x 1%) ( 24,000)
Total variable operating expenses ( 120,000)
Interest expense 0
Budgeting process follows the tactical plan with the end in view of translating those plans into a monetary
plan or financial plan.
The actual budgeting process of a medium or large corporation are shown below:
The first step is to see the following year’s economic horizon. The company will invite a well known
economist for a lecture. The lecture process will be economic lecture about the economic scenario for the
following year first and then followed by questions from managers and corporate officers related to this
work and responsibility.
1.1. Inflation
The economist will discuss about the expected rate of inflation for the incoming year according to the
government and according to his personal opinion. Based on this rate of inflation, he will have to
estimate any rate of price increase of local materials and supplies to be used in budgeting. He, also,
will give an opinion about any increase in minimum wage pay.
The National Sales Manager will call a meeting with all of his Regional Sales Manager and tell them to
prepare the budgeted sales, of their regional area, volume only. (Why, volume only? Because they are
waiting for the result of costing of each products to determine if there will be any increase in cost and will
it warrant an increase in unit selling price.) As guideline; the budgeted quantity should increase by not
less than the rate of increase in GNP. Some large companies divide the Philippines into five (5) parts:
1) the National Capital Region (NCR); 2) the central and northern Luzon region; 3) the southern Luzon
region, including Bicol and Palawan; 4) the Visayas region; and 5) the Mindanao region.
The Regional Sales Manager will call all of his Salesmen and tell them to prepare their Sales Volume
Budget and indicate the same in the Sales Budget Form that will be given to each one of them. The Sale
Budget Form has the following information: 1. Name of current customer; 2. Actual quantity sold (to each
customer this current year); 3. The Sales Volume budget of each customer next year; 4. Increase in
volume; 5. Rate of increase in volume; 6. Name of new customers; 7. Sales volume budget for each new
customer.
The Salesmen are given more or less two months to prepare the Sales Volume Budget and submit it to
the Regional Sales Manager for approval.
Once the Sales Volume Budget of each Salesman is approved, the Regional Sales Manager shall
summarize the approved Sales Volume Budget and submit it to the National Sales Manager for approval
also.
Once the National Sales Manager had approved the Sales Volume Budget of each region, he will
summarize them into a National Sales Budget for the budget year that include already the unit selling
price. He will analyze the National Sales Budget (volume and amount) and submit the same to the
President for approval. The terms of sale is also submitted for approval. The terms of sale will be the
basis for the computation of the budgeted Accounts Receivable.
(Note: Even before the approval by the President of the National Sales Budget. The projected cost of
each products shall have been prepared by the Cost Accounting Department and submitted to the
National Sales Manager and the President as basis for approval of Units Selling Price for each product.)
Once the President approved the National Sales Budget, it is disseminated to all departments as the
basis for their own expense budgets.
The Budget department is in charge of distributing budget forms to all departments. The Sales and
Marketing department, Operations’ department and all Administrative departments are given their
respective Expense Budget Form and Capital Expenditure Budget Form to be submitted within one
month from receipt.
Based on the approved Sales Budget, the Operations department prepares the Budgeted Production
Volume and the related desired finished goods inventory at the end of each month. The desired
material inventory at the end of each month is also prepared and submitted. The computation of the
R. Z. Palma Financial Accounting 135
desired finished goods inventory and the desired material inventory normally is based on a written
company policy such as: a) the ending inventory of all locally purchased supplies and materials inventory
should be good for, fifteen (15) days or half months’ usage. b) the ending inventory of all imported
materials from Japan should be good for forty five (45) days, the number of days before the materials
arrived c) the ending inventory of all imported materials from Europe and USA should be good for sixty
(60) days, the number of days before the materials arrive.
Based on their time and motion study of production processes, the Operations Department shall compute
the total direct labor hours based on Budgeted Production Volume and then prepares the Direct Labor
Cost Budget.
They will also compute all variable factory indirect expenses called Variable Factory Overhead Budget
or Variable Manufacturing Expense Budget. The Accounting department shall prepare and submit all
Fixed Factory Overhead Budget.
The Purchasing Department prepares the Budgeted Material Purchases (Purchasing Plan) based from
Budgeted Production Volume and desired inventory end. The Purchasing department shall indicate also
the related terms of payment to suppliers. The terms of payment will be the basis for the computation of
the budgeted Accounts payable account.
The master budget is a consolidation of all the budgets of all the different sub-units in an enterprise and
is the management’s principal vehicle for coordinating the plans of the firm. As such, it consist of the
Operating Budget, Cash Flow Budget, Financial Resource Budget and the Capital Expenditure Budget
(CAPEX).
A. Operating Budget. This refers to plan of operations where details of revenues, expenses and net
income are shown and which takes the form of budgeted income statement. It is a consolidation of
the budgets for the different functions of the enterprise, namely the projections for:
B. Capital Expenditure Budget. This is a statement of the planned procurement and disposal of
of plant, property and equipment.
C. Financial Resources Budget. The refers to the projections of the effects of the planned
operating budget on the financial resources of the enterprise. It consists of the following:
1. Cash Budget. This shows the effects of management’s plans on cash inflows (cash receipts)
and cash outflows (cash disbursements).
2. Budgeted Statement of Financial Position (balance sheet). It shows the planned assets,
liabilities and equity levels.
3. Budgeted Cash Flow Statement. Convert the cash budget into a cash flow statement that
includes any plan of borrowings when cash balance at the end in the cash budget is negative
or below the required minimum cash balance.
For planning purposes, the budget department coordinates the efforts of those involved in the budget
preparation, prepares the master budget and all supporting schedules and distribute the approved
budgets to all responsibility centers concerned.
At the start of actual operation, the budget department issues periodic reports on actual performance of
each responsibility center and compared it against the approved budget. The difference is called
R. Z. Palma Financial Accounting 137
variance. A variance maybe favorable or unfavorable. Favorable variance means it results to an increase
in the net income of the company. For example, if the actual sales amount is P4,600,000 and the
budgeted sales is P4,000,000, the variance is P600,000 favorable or a 15% favorable variance. Another
example; if the actual administrative expenses was P300,000 while the approved budgeted administrative
expenses was P250,000, the variance of P50,000 is an unfavorable variance because it will decrease the
net income. Unfavorable variance means it will tend to reduce the net income. The variance between the
budgeted figures and actual performances is reported to the president of the company and to all
concerned departments. All department heads explains the reason for the variances and recommends
remedial measures in case of unfavorable variances and how to maintain or how to still improve all
favorable variances.
Revisions of Budgets
If the management perceived that the budget is unrealistic, revisions are recommended and will be based
on immediate actual performance.
The Sales Forecast is a passive statement of the expected volume of sales. It is the primary basis for the
preparation of the master budget so that it is considered as the cornerstone of budgeting. The
management approves the planned sales volume based on sales forecast by the Sales department and
this serves as basis in the preparation of the other budgets. The sales budget refers to the planned
volume and sales amount approved by management to serve as basis in the financial planning of all sub-
units in an enterprise.
Sales forecast may be made on the analysis of general business conditions, sales trend in the past and
market conditions. This analysis is supplemented by internal forecast whereby opinions of executives and
salesmen are considered. A company engaged in the manufacture of shoes may estimate its sales
volume based on the population and population of school children and students in a particular locality.
In using regression analysis, sales of services forecast is made based on the cause and effect
relationship between sales and the variable factor assumed to be affecting sales volume.
Example: Based on accumulated data, the annual service income of a small hotel at Pagsanjan, Laguna
amounts to at least P1,000,000 a year and that a P0.50 increase may be expected for every foreign
tourist arrival in the country in excess of 2,000,000 tourist. According to the Department of Tourism the
projected arrivals of foreign tourists for the 2021 is 7,000,000 tourists.
The expected value of sales estimates is arrived at by multiplying the different sales estimates by their
corresponding probability percentages.
For example: A manufacturing concern is launching a new product “”Product X in the market. The sales
department stated in its estimate that the sales volume (units) would be between 11,000 unit and 15,000
units. They invited 2 product experts and ask them the percentages of sales probability of the new
product. This is the result of their expert opinion:
PERCENTAGE OF PROBABILITY
VOLUME OF SALES Expert No. 1 Expert No. 2 Average
(Units)
11,000 10% 0% 5%
12,000 20% 20% 20%
13,000 30% 40% 35%
14,000 30% 30% 30%
15,000 10% 10% 10%
100% 100% 100%
When it comes to new products, the sales estimates for the first year is an educated guess and estimates
are opinion or gut feel of persons who know the business. Sometimes sales estimates are made using the
R. Z. Palma Financial Accounting 139
BOP (best or most likely, optimistic and pessimistic estimates) method. Based on the normal curve
distribution, most likely or best estimates are given a weight of four (4) so that a devisor of (6) is used.
Example: The president of the company ask the sales manager, “Using the BOP Method, which is the
Best or most likely, most optimistic, and most pessimistic if you choose figures between 10,000 units and
20,000 units to be sold.
The sales manager said,” We will be very lucky if we can sell 16,000 units. It is unlikely or very
unfortunate if we can sell only 10,000 units and in my best estimate, the sale would be around 14,000
units.
Expected value O + 4B + P
of sales = ----------------
6
The sales forecast of 13,667 units may be rounded off to 13,700 units. This planned level of sales shall be
the basis in the preparation of the master budget.
Just like in the incremental budgeting, first, let us classify cost and expenses according to its behavioral
pattern:
A company, with its current plant facilities and personnel is capable of producing a maximum of 100,000
units a month and incurs total fixed costs and expenses of P80,000 a month. The relevant range for this
amount of fixed costs and expenses is from 1 to 100,000 units a month. Beyond that volume, the
company must increase its production capacity by acquiring additional fixed assets and hire additional
employees and these will give rise to additional fixed costs.
Assuming that the company’s fixed cost a month is P80,000 while its variable cost rate and expenses per
unit of finished product is P3. The relevant range or maximum capacity is 100,000 units.
Determine the budgeted total cost at various levels of production: 1) at 20,000 units, 2) at 40,000 units,
3) at 75,000 units and 4) at 90,000 units.
As shown above, it is easy to compute total cost if total fixed cost, variable rate and quantity of production
is given.. However, there are some costs and expenses that are considered as mixed or semi-variable
costs. In this regard, the mixed costs should be split into fixed and variable expenses. The split fixed cost
will be added to other given fixed cost and expenses while the split variable cost and expenses will be
added to other variable costs and expenses. By then, we will know the total fixed cost and expenses, and
the total viable cost and expenses. From the total variable costs and expenses, we can now compute the
variable rate per unit, how?, by dividing the total variable costs and expenses by the normal production
volume. Some examples of mixed costs are: 1) cleaning material used, both in production and in
administrative offices; 2) The electricity consumed, when there is only one electric meter and the building
housed both the administrative office and factory or production department. The different methods of
splitting semi-variable costs are (a) high and low point method, (b) least square method and (c) use of
scatter-graph. Only the high and low method will be taken up in this book because of its simplicity.
To illustrate the high and low point method, use the above mentioned data about the mixed cost of a
factory supplies:

1. Compute for variable cost rate per unit first, using the format below: the answer is P3.00
Variable Rate
Quantity Amount per unit
High 120,000 P440,000
Low 20,000 140,000
Difference 100,000 P300,000 = P3.00
Steps:
a. Fill in the data from the problem.
b. Deduct the low quantity and amount from the high quantity and amount to get the difference.
1. Divide the difference in amount (P300,000) by difference in quantity (100,000 units) and the answer
is the variable rate per unit (P3.00)
2. Compute the total variable cost at 120,000 units = 120,000 x P3 = P360,000.
3. Compute the total variable cost at 20,000 units = 20,000 x P3 = P 60,000
Take note: the fixed cost of P80,000 is the same for both 120,000 unit level and 20,000 unit level.
At any level of production, the fixed cost will be P80,000.

ASSETS
Cash 60,000
Accounts receivable (net) 40,000
Merchandise inventory 75,000

Total assets 375,500
Task:
Prepare the: 1. 2021, Budgeted Income Statement
2. 2021, Budgeted Statement of Cash Flows (Direct Method)
3. 2021, Budgeted Statement of Financial Position.
Explanation:
a. The quantity of cost of sales is always the quantity of sales account, therefore, 100,000 units.
To compute the quantity of purchases: cost of sales (units) plus desired merchandise inventory,
end (units) minus merchandise inventory, beg. (units) equals purchases (units)
(100,000 units + 15,000 units – 7,500 units = 107,500 units)
b. Indicate the unit costs. Purchases – P12.00; Merchandise inventory, beg. – P10.00;
merchandise inventory, end – P12.00. ( using FIFO)
c. Multiply the quantity by the unit cost.
Operating Activities
Collection on sales P 1,825,000
Payment of purchases ( 1,050,000)
Payment of operating expenses ( 540,000)
Payment of interest expense ( 22,000)
Payment of income tax ( 50,000)
Net inflow (outflow) 162,500
Investing Activities
Payment of additional equipment ( 250,000)
Sale of old furniture at book value 60,000
Net inflow (outflow) ( 190,000
Financing Activities
Payment of loan principal ( 110,000)
Payment of cash dividend ( 50,000)
Issuance of share of stocks (80 @ P600) 48,000
Net inflow (outflow) ( 112,000)
Since the cash balance end is negative of P79,500 and the minimum cash balance requirement is
P20,000, it is imperative for the company to borrow from a financial institution.
Amount of Loan: But the company can borrow only with multiple of P10,000, so the amount of loan
should be P120,000.
Adjustments
Because of this P120,000 loan, adjustments have to be made as follows:
Sales P 2,000,000
Cost of sales ( 1,185,000)
Gross Profit 815,000
Operating expenses ( including depreciation expense
amounting to P75,000) ( 650,000)
Net income from operation 165,000
Interest expense (22,500 + 14,400) ( 36,900)
Net income before tax 128,100
Income tax expense (P128,100 x 30%) ( 38,430)

Another way of preparing the above Budgeted Financial Statements is the Journal Entry Method.
By preparing the journal entry for all transactions above, you can prepare the Budgeted Income
Statement, the Budgeted Statement of Cash Flows and Budgeted Statement of Financial Position.
Here are the complete journal entries, and if you post them in a T-account and compute the balance of
each account, you will find that all balances are the same as that in the Budgeted Income Statement,
Budgeted Statement of Cash Flows and Budgeted Statement of Financial Position.

Before you can prepare both budgeted cost of sales and budgeted cost of goods manufactured, the
following accounting information should be available:
2. Assumed terms of collection for the purpose of computing the budgeted Accounts receivable at the end
of the year as well as the total collection for the whole year..
Actual Desired
3. Inventories: Beginning Ending Ending
Qty UC Qty Unit Cost
Material inventory xxx @ Pxx xxx Using FIFO method, it is assumed
that the unit cost is the same as the
purchasing projected cost for the
following year
Work in process inventory xxx @ Pxx xxx for budgeting purposes, this
inventory is assumed to be zero
and no cost
Finished goods inventory xxx @ Pxx xxx use unit cost from the budgeted
Cost of goods manufactured.
4. Projected unit cost of each direct material used – Pxx/ unit of measure (from purchasing department)
Terms of payment should be stated also to be able to compute the Accounts payable amount in the
balance sheet as at the end of the budget year.
5. Quantity of direct materials per unit of finished product - xxx /unit (from production department)
6. Average direct labor rate per hour – Pxxx/ direct labor hour (data from HRD)
7. Direct labor hours per unit - man-hours/ unit (data from a time and motion study)
8. Factory overhead
(Various factory overhead expenses are list down in details and classified into fixed and variable.
Variable factory overhead is divided by the production quantity to arrive at the variable rate per unit.)
Total Fixed factory overhead Pxxxx
Total Variable factory overhead (production volume x rate) xxxx
Total factory overhead Pxxxx
Divided by production volume xxx units
Factory overhead rate per unit P xx
Production plan is a detailed computation of how many finished products should be manufactured
during a given period of time after considering the desired finished goods at the end.
9.2. Budgeted material needed = Budgeted production volume x standard material needed
9.3 Budgeted material cost = Budgeted materials needed x material unit cost
9.4 Budgeted direct labor hour needed = Budgeted production volume x standard direct labor
Hours
Standard direct labor hours are measured in terms of man-hours. Man-hours means the number
of hours a man can complete the task of production of a finished product.
Example: 1 hour direct labor hour = 1 man-hour
30 minutes direct labor hour = 0.50 man-hour
1 hour and 15 minutes = 1.25 man-hour
9.5 Budgeted direct labor cost = Budgeted direct labor hours needed x Budgeted direct labor rate
9.6 Budgeted variable factory overhead cost = Budgeted production volume x budgeted variable
factory overhead per unit
9.7 Budgeted factory overhead cost = budgeted variable factory overhead cost + budgeted fixed
factory overhead cost.
9.8 Budgeted factory cost or manufacturing cost = budgeted material cost + budgeted direct labor
cost + budgeted factory overhead cost.
9.9 For budgeting purposes, it is assumed that work in process is zero.
9.10 Budgeted factory cost will the same as the budgeted cost of goods manufactured.
9.11 Budgeted manufactured finished product cost per unit = cost of goods manufactured divided by
the total production planned volume.
9.12 Budgeted quantity of material purchases = production volume + desired material inventory,
end – material inventory, beg.
9.13 Unit buying cost of direct materials
9.14 Budgeted amount of material purchases = quantity of material purchases x unit buying cost
10. We can now present the standard variable cost of each unit of production.
Purpose: this is to facilitate computation of cost of goods manufactured and sold.
Note 1 Budgeted direct material cost = Budgeted production volume x standard unit cost
Note 2 Budgeted direct labor cost = Budgeted production volume x standard direct labor rate
