Question

appliances and sells them to a number of

mass merchandisers, such as Jaya Jusco,Carrefour, etc. In reading the financial

statements for these customers, why would

the going concern assumption be importantto you?



Assets and services

acquired

should be recorded

at their actual cost.

The Cost Principle

accounting records to reflect ownership of this land?

$60; therefore, the firm spent $6,000,000. By the end of the

fiscal period, the stock had a fair market value of $65 per share.

What Makes Accounting Information

Useful?



Accounting Limitation (Constraints)

• Information limited to quantitative terms.- Matters such as morale of workforce and skill not included

• Largely confined to analysis of past events

- Financial forecast maybe unreliable

• Accounting not an exact science – Financial statementsinvolve the exercise of judgment and maybe less reliable tousers e.g. estimate remaining useful life of machine or theability of customer who owes the business to pay up

• The financial statement is expressed in monetary unit subjectto changing in value especially in time of high inflationwhere the price of goods become very high.



What is an Account?

• A record used to summarise all increases

and decreases in particular asset, such as

cash, or any other type of asset, liability,owners equity, revenue or expenses

• The famous accounting equation:-

Assets = Capital + Liabilities



.

Assets:-Assets are possessions or resources

owned by an entity; includes physical or

tangible possessions such as property, plant,machinery, stock, cash. Intangible Assets such

as copyright and patent rights and debts owed.

Capital:- The amount owners have invested

in an entity

Liabilities:- Amount owed by the entity to

outside parties. Include loans, bank overdrafts,

creditors



The Dual-Aspect Concept Slide 2-10

Ms. Jones opens a bank account for

the business by depositing $40,000.

Assets = Liabilities + Owners’ equity Assets = Equities

+ $40,000 + $40,000 =




The business borrows

$15,000 from the bank.

+ $40,000 = $40,000

Assets = Liabilities + Owners’ equity

+ 15,000 + 15,000



Assets = Liabilities + Owners’ equity


Assets = Equities

+ $40,000 = $40,000

+ 15,000 + 15,000

$55,000 $15,000 $40,000



Economic

Resources

Claims to

Economic

Resources

The Accounting Equation

Assets = Liabilities + Owner’s Equity



Assets are economic resources

which are owned by a business

and are expected to benefit

future operations.

The Accounting Equation Slide 1-10

Assets = Liabilities + Owners’ Equity



The Accounting Equation

Liabilities are obligations

of the entity to outsideparties who have

furnished resources

Slide 1-11

• It is what’s left of the assets after liabilities

have been deducted.

– the same as net assets

– the owner’s claim on the entity’s assets

Owner’s Assets = Liabilities + Equity

1) Cash +RM30,000 +RM30,000

2) Cash – 20,000Land + 20,000

3) Supplies + 500 + 500

4) Cash + 5,500 + 5,500

5) Receivable + 3,000 + 3,0006) Cash – 3,100 – 3,100

7) Cash – 300 – 300

Totals + RM35,600 + 200 +RM35,400


Transactions

balance.

• Each transaction affects at least twoaccounts, sometimes more.

• Some transactions affect only one side of

the equation; some affect both sides.

as follows:

• The business collected $1,000 from theclient.

• She sold some land at cost for $9,000.
