Accounting Two Weekly Study Cycle
Consistent steps each week lead to stronger skills and better results.
Image summary: A circular flow chart illustrates a six-step weekly study cycle with days of the week mapped to specific actions. The cycle begins on Sunday with previewing next week's chapters and moves through Monday attending lectures, Tuesday reviewing and organizing, Wednesday attending lectures, Thursday practicing problems, and Friday self-testing, ending with a cumulative review on Saturday. At the center, a callout emphasizes that review, practice, understanding, and repetition lead to big results.
- Best practice: Watch Learning Objective One and Learning Objective Two in Connect, getting that subscription started, and answer the reading questions. Complete the CompleteBook before coming to your next class.
- Bring your reading questions to class.
Start a Study Cycle:
- Step one is to preview before class.
- Step two is to attend class actively.
- Step three is to review within twenty four hours.
- Step four is to practice problems.
- Step five is to self-test.
- Step six is the weekly cumulative review.
Vocabulary:
- The Income Statement reflects revenues and expenses for a certain time period. The excess of revenues over expenses is referred to as net income.
- The Statement of Retained Earnings reflects net income accumulated over multiple years as well as dividends that have been paid out during the current year.
- The Balance Sheet reflects the assets, which are the resources of a business, as well as the liabilities, which are claims of third parties against assets, and the equity, which are claims of shareholders against assets. It follows the accounting equation where assets equal liabilities plus equity. The balance sheet contains only permanent accounts.
Balance Sheet:
The balances in these accounts are recorded in permanent, or real, accounts that remain open from period to period.
- Assets are probable future economic benefits obtained or controlled as a result of past transactions.
Image summary: A graphic illustrates the fundamental accounting equation showing that Assets equal Liabilities plus Equity.
- Liabilities are probable future sacrifices of economic benefits.
- Equity is the residual interest in the assets of an entity that remains after deducting liabilities.
Income Statement:
These transactions are reflected in temporary, or nominal accounts that are closed to equity at the end of every period. Further, revenues, expenses, gains and losses are all the result of transactions between the entity and third parties.
- Revenues are inflows or other enhancements of assets from delivering or producing goods or services that are related to the entity's ongoing or central operations.
- Expenses are outflows of assets or incurred liabilities during a period from delivering goods or services that are related to the entity's ongoing or central operations.
- Gains are increases in equity from peripheral or incidental transactions of an entity. Examples of such transactions are gains from sales of fixed assets or securities.
- Losses are decreases in equity from peripheral or incidental transactions of an entity. Examples of such transactions are losses from sales of fixed assets or securities.
L.O 13 to 1: Record business events in T-accounts using debit/credit terminology.
Debit and Credit Terminology
- An account form known as a T-account is a good starting point for learning how to describe increases and decreases with debit and credit terminology.
- The left side of the vertical bar is the debit side, and the right side is the credit side.
Image summary: A diagram illustrates T-accounts for Assets, Liabilities, and Stockholders' Equity. For Assets, a debit increases the balance and a credit decreases it. For Liabilities and Stockholders' Equity, a debit decreases the balance and a credit increases it.
- Whether a debit or credit represents an increase or a decrease depends on the element, such as asset, liability, or stockholders' equity, in question.
The Accounting Equation
The basic equation is Assets equals Liabilities plus Stockholders' Equity.
Image summary: A diagram illustrates the expanded accounting equation and its debit and credit rules. It shows Assets equals Liabilities plus Common Stock plus Retained Earnings, minus Dividends, plus Revenues, minus Expenses. Below each account is a row showing the effect of debits and credits: Assets increase with debits and decrease with credits, while all other accounts follow the opposite pattern, increasing with credits and decreasing with debits, except for Dividends and Expenses which increase with debits.
Debits and Credits Summary
Image summary: This diagram summarizes the effect of debits and credits on different account types. For assets and expenses, a debit increases the balance and a credit decreases it. For liabilities, equity, and revenue, a credit increases the balance and a debit decreases it.
Debit and Credit Terminology
In every transaction, the total dollar value of all debits equals the total dollar value of all credits.
Image summary: An accounting equation diagram shows that Assets equal Liabilities plus Stockholders' Equity. Assets increase with a debit and decrease with a credit, while Liabilities and Stockholders' Equity decrease with a debit and increase with a credit.
Image summary: A detailed table breaks down the accounting equation further. It confirms that for Assets, a debit is an increase and a credit is a decrease. Conversely, for both Liabilities and Stockholders' Equity, which are categorized as Claims, a debit is a decrease and a credit is an increase.
Accrual-Based Accounting, not Cash Basis
Transaction Analysis.
- The heart of accounting and financial statement preparation is transaction analysis. A company may incur hundreds, thousands, or millions of transactions each day that require attention to the rules of accounting to provide integrity to the financial statements.
From accounting we know that transaction analysis is a process where we are trying to answer the following questions:
- What accounts are involved?
- For each account involved, what type of account is it, such as an asset, liability, or stockholders' equity?
- Is the account balance increasing or decreasing as a result of the transaction?
We know that each transaction will involve a minimum of two accounts. It can certainly be more, but no less than two.
One other important rule to remember is that for each transaction the accounting equation must be in balance, where Assets equals Liabilities plus Stockholders Equity.
- Debits increase assets, dividends, and expenses.
- Credits increase liabilities, stockholders' equity, and revenues.
The general ledger is a collection of T-accounts that are arranged in the order of assets, liabilities, stockholders' equity, revenues and expenses.
What is the Accounting Cycle?
- Transactions lead to journal entries.
- Journal entries go into the general journal.
- Information is summarized into a general ledger.
- This leads to a trial balance.
- Then financial statements are produced.
Image summary: A T-account diagram for Accounts Payable shows the debit side is empty, while the credit side contains a beginning balance and an ending balance, reflecting the normal credit balance of a liability account.
Accountants initially record data from source documents into journals, which can be special or general journals. Moving information from the journal to the ledger is called posting.
L.O 13 to 2: Record transactions using the general journal format.
The Rules of Debits and Credits
- Debits increase asset accounts, while credits decrease asset accounts.
- Debits decrease liability and stockholders' equity accounts, while credits increase liability and stockholders' equity accounts.
- Debits decrease the total amounts of stockholders' equity, and credits increase the total amount of stockholders' equity.
How I approach a Journal Entry
- What accounts do I need to use?
- What type of account am I using, such as Asset, Liability, Equity, Revenue, or Expense?
- Is this a Contra Account?
- Do I want the account to increase or decrease?
- Most common Journal Entries seem to involve cash. Did we gain cash, for example, someone paid us, we earned interest, or we received a check? Or did we spend cash, for example, we had to pay someone else, pay interest, or write a check?
- A gain in cash will be a debit to increase cash.
- A loss in cash will be a credit to decrease cash.
Double-Entry Accounting
Let's see how debits and credits work by looking at transactions for Collins Brokerage Services.
The General Journal
- Accountants initially record data from source documents into journals, which can be special or general journals.
- Providing services for one thousand dollars in cash on August 1 would be recorded in general journal format as follows:
Image summary: A journal entry table for August 1 shows a debit to the Cash account for one thousand dollars and a credit to the Service Revenue account for one thousand dollars.

L.O 13.2: Record transactions using the general journal format.
The General Journal
- To simplify record keeping, businesses rely on source documents, such as cash register tapes, as the basis for entering transaction data into the accounting system.
- Accountants further simplify record keeping by initially recording data from source documents into journals.
- Journals are books of original entry.
- Companies may use different special journals to record specific types of recurring transactions. For example, a company may use one special journal to record sales on account, another to record purchases on account, a third to record cash receipts, and a fourth to record cash payments.
- Transactions that do not fall into any of these categories are recorded in the general journal.
