Questions

1. The basic summary device of accounting is the account.

It resembles the letter T, and its left side is called the
debit side and its right side the credit side.

2. The statement is false because debit means left and

credit means right. Debits and credits are used to record
increases and decreases in accounts, so debits can be
increases or decreases depending on the type of account
involved, and likewise for credits.

3. The three basic types of accounts are ASSETS,

LIABILITIES, and SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY. Two
additional types of accounts are REVENUES and
EXPENSES. They are most closely related to
shareholders’ equity; revenues increase shareholders’
equity and expenses decrease shareholders’ equity.

4. Transactions are events that affect the financial position

of the entity and that may be reliably recorded. They are
the raw material of accounting. Without transactions,
there would be nothing to account for.

5. Business → Source → Transaction → Entry → Posting to

1 h. Sale of service on account

7. Cash Common Shares

8. “Accounts Payable has a credit balance of $1,700” means

that the entity owes $1,700 to its creditors on a debt that
is not evidenced by a formal note payable.

9. The two business transactions are (1) Brown’s providing

laundry service and earning revenue and (2) Baylor’s
paying cash to Brown. Brown’s earning the revenue
increases the shareholders’ equity of the entity, and
Baylor’s payment of cash increases Brown’s cash.

10. Accountants prepare a trial balance to determine whether

the total debits equal the total credits.

11. The normal balance of an account is the side of the

account—debit or credit—that records an increase. Also,
an account’s normal balance is the side of the account
that usually has the account’s balance.

12. Account Type Normal Balance
Assets Debit
Liabilities Credit
Shareholders’ equity Credit
Revenues Credit
Expenses Debit

13. This error does not cause the trial balance to be out of
balance because both the total debits and the total
credits are overstated by the same amount, $4,500
($5,000 – $500).

14. Collecting cash on account has no effect on total assets

because the increase in cash, which increases total
assets, is offset by the decrease in accounts receivable,
which decreases total assets.

15. The advantage of “journal-less” transaction analysis is

the saving of time. Transactions are recorded directly in
the ledger without recording them in the journal.

Dear Nicole,

This trial balance lists the accounts of Mach-1 Inc. along with
their balances at December 31, 2005. The trial balance is an
internal document used by accountants. It is not the same as
a balance sheet and an income statement. The balance sheet
and the income statement are financial statements used by
managers, creditors, and investors for decision making.

The fact that the trial balance is in balance does not mean
that Mach-1 Inc. is a sound company. It merely means that
total debits equal total credits in the company ledger. This
says nothing about the soundness of the business. To
compute Mach-1 Inc.’s net income or net loss for the current
period, subtract total expenses from total revenue. During the
current period, Mach-1 Inc. earned a net income of $29,000
[service revenue of $86,000 minus total expenses of
$57,000($14,000 + $3,000 + $33,000 + $7,000)].

Note: Student responses may vary.

Req. 3

a. The business has $5,200 in cash. The cash balance takes

into consideration all amounts received from all sources,
including cash received from the issuance of shares. Share
issuances go into the Common Shares account, which has
nothing to do with Retained Earnings. Retained Earnings,
on the other hand, holds the amounts of the revenues and
expenses, which may or may not be received or paid in
cash. There is therefore no relationship between cash and
retained earnings.

b. The business’s total resources (total assets) are $26,500

($5,200 + $4,000 + $300 + $17,000). The business owes total
liabilities of $3,500, so Gerbing’s ownership interest in the
assets of the business is $23,000 ($26,500 – $3,500, or
$22,000 + $1,000).
