INCOME STATEMENT Accounting ASW Summer 2007
Warning! • Income statement is the hardest concept in accounting – Seems intuitive – More subtle than it seems – Takes a while to really understand it • Litmus test: Why would we record: Rent Expense (I/S-Exp) Rent Payable (B/S-Liab) 100
Two ways to think about the income statement (1) Intuitively (and loosely) – Lists revenue firm earned • Even if not yet received (e. g. , credit sales) – Lists all costs incurred to earn revenues • Even if not yet paid (e. g. , rent on credit) – Calculate whether you were profitable (net income) • Even if not all cash (accrual accounting)
Two ways to think about the income statement (2) The “right” (and less intuitive) way – Income statement is part of the balance sheet Assets = Liab. + Contr. Cap. + Retained Earnings RE = RE + NI – Div. + Other Net Income = Revenues - Expenses Year End ‘ 07 Year End ‘ 06 In ‘ 07 In ’ 07 – Therefore, net income is a function of how you measured your balance sheet
Merchandise Sale Example Assume purchase at $80 Inventory Cash Sell for $100 Cash Inventory ? 80 80 100 80 20
What is the credit? Is an asset reduced? Is a liability created? Did investors contribute more capital? Therefore, is it retained earnings--residual of residual.
What are Retained Earnings? Retained Earnings is a permanent account (balance sheet) Measures equity which was created by the operations of the firm (not contributed) Not an asset (the associated assets are separately recognized)
How does it get to RE? Put into “temporary accounts” (measure only net income this period) Split into revenue and expense Cash Sales Revenue (Rev. )-RE Cost of Goods Sold (Exp. )-RE Inventory 100 80
What are revenues & expense accounts? Temporary accounts Part of Retained Earnings Used to track net income during the period Get folded into RE at the end of the period Begin and end with zero balances
Closing Entry Recorded at period end after preparing the income statement Sales Revenue--RE Cost of Goods Sold--RE Retained Earnings 100 Similar entry for other revenues & expenses 80 20
Measurement under Accrual Accounting Recognize revenues when earned Match expenses to revenues where possible Net income is revenue net of any associated costs, irrespective of cash flows
Revenue Recognition Have performed all (or a substantial portion) of service Have received an asset (cash or receivable) which can be measured Revenue may be adjusted for expected bad debts and sales discounts and allowances
Revenue Timing Issues Cash Now Cash Sales Revenue 100 Cash in future Accounts Receivable (Asset) 100 Sales Revenue Cash 100 Accounts Receivable Cash in past Cash 100 Adv. from Cust. (Liab. ) Advances from Customers 100 Sales Revenue Problem 3. 18 100 100 100
Expense Recognition Match to revenue to the extent possible--e. g. , product cost - Merchandising--cost of acquiring inventory - Manufacturing--cost of making product (including overhead) Otherwise charge to expense as consumed--e. g. , - selling general and administrative expense - research and development expense Measure on same basis as asset being consumed
Timing of Expenses Concurrent with cash flows Rent Expense Cash Prior to cash flow Rent Expense Rent Payable Cash After cash outflow Prepaid Rent Cash Rent Expense Prepaid Rent 100 100 100
Depreciation Special case of prepaid expenses Spread cost over period of benefit - just like other prepaids - typically spread straight-line - Depreciation Expense = (Cost - Estimated Salvage)/Estimated useful Life E. g. $1, 100 asset, 10 -year life, $100 salvage Depreciation Expense Accumulated Depreciation(PP&E Contra) Problem 3. 20 100
Types of Entries Transactions-based entries - know to record them based on a transaction - e. g. , receipt/payment of cash, credit sale, receipt of bill, etc. - recorded during the period
Adjusting entries - Cases in which there is no immediate notification (transaction) - Often necessitated by passage of time - Expense examples: depreciation, accrual of salaries, expiration of prepaid rent - Revenue examples: advances from customers earned, interest earned to be collected - Technically could be recorded every day, but typically wait until end of period (quarter) - Auditor doesn’t care if accounts are right until reporting date
Closing entries - Clear out all revenue and expense accounts to retained earnings - After completing income statement, before balance sheet - Problems 3 -31 and 3 -33
