Peachtree Tips You must complete Chapters 9 and 10 before starting Chapter 11. To check that you have completed Chapter 10, display Mark Foltz Designer’s general ledger trial balance. Compare it to the one shown on page 347. This is the trial balance at the end of October. If any of the account balances are incorrect on the general ledger trial balance, follow the steps for Editing Journal Entries on page 346. Then, reprint the trial balance. 11 -4

Peachtree Tips (concluded) If you do not get the correct year-to-date amounts on the Income Statement (pages 373 and 390) and Statement of Cash Flow (page 392), you probably set your chart of accounts beginning balances in Chapter 9 incorrectly (refer to steps 1 -8, pages 302 -307, Entering Chart of Accounts Beginning Balances). The Select Period window, From 9/1/12 through 9/30/12, is shown on page 304 below step 3. To check that your beginning balances were set up correctly, display the September 30, 2012 balance sheet (refer to pages 307 -308). 11 -5

Analysis Questions, p. 410 1. When using Peachtree, why is it important to change accounting periods? (Hint: Do a search on Peachtree’s Help window for Change Accounting Period. ) Accounting Periods define segments of your fiscal year. Peachtree permits you to operate within two open fiscal years. The Change Accounting Period window serves two purposes. First, it informs you of your company's current fiscal year and payroll tax year setup. Second, this window permits you to move to an alternate accounting period. Typically, you'll do this at the beginning of each new accounting period. 11 -15

Analysis Questions, p. 410 2. 3. Does the balance in retained earnings differ on the adjusted trial balance and the postclosing trial balance? How does the postclosing trial balance differ from the adjusted trial balance? (Answer to #2 and #3 below) The adjusted trial balance shows all accounts in the general ledger that have account balances. This includes the revenue and expense accounts. Since the revenue and expense accounts have not been closed, there is no balance in Account No. 3910, Retained Earnings, on the adjusted trial balance. At the end of the fiscal year, the temporary owner’s equity accounts (revenues, expenses, and drawing) are closed to a permanent owner’s equity account. In Peachtree, there are two permanent owner’s equity accounts: the owner’s capital account and the Retained Earnings account. Peachtree closes the temporary accounts to the Retained Earnings account. After the fiscal year is closed, a postclosing trial balance is printed. Only permanent accounts appear on the postclosing trial balance. All temporary accounts (revenues and expenses) have been closed. The postclosing trial balance shows a balance in Account No. 3910, Retained Earnings. The retained earnings account balance is net income minus the account balance in the drawing account. The Retained Earnings balance on the postclosing trial balance agrees with Peachtree’s Statement of Retained earnings. 11 -16
