Sample Questions

Q1) Under the accrual basis, some accounts in the ledger require updating at the end of the period. Discuss the three main reasons for this updating and give an example of each.

Answer: 1. Some expenses are not recorded daily. For example, the daily use of supplies would require many entries with small amounts. Also, the amount of supplies on hand on a day-to-day basis is normally not needed.

2. Some revenues and expenses are incurred as time passes rather than as separate transactions. For example, rent received in advance (unearned rent) expires and becomes revenue with the passage of time. Likewise, prepaid insurance expires and becomes an expense with the passage of time.

3. Some revenues and expenses may be unrecorded at the end of the accounting period. For example, a company may have provided services to customers that it has not billed or recorded at the end of the accounting period. Likewise, a company may not pay its employees until the next accounting period even though the employees have earned their wages in the current period.

Q2) On January 1, Power House Co. prepaid the annual rent of $10,140. Prepare the journal entry to record this transaction.
