Definition of Terms:
1. Accounting
It is a service activity, its function is to provide quantitative information, primarily financial in
nature, about economic entities, that is intended to be useful in making economic decisions
(Accounting Standards Council- ASC).

“Accounting as an Art”- Accounting is the art of recording, classifying, and summarizing in a

significant manner and in terms of money, transactions and events which are in part at least of
a financial character and interpreting the results thereof (American Institute of Certified Public
Accountants- AICPA).

Accounting is the process of identifying, measuring and communicating economic

information to permit informed judgment and decision by users of financial information
(American Accounting Association- AAA).

MODULE 1 – FABM 2 Subject Teacher: John Paul M. Lagao

Accounting Cycle:
In Figure no. 1, the accounting cycle was illustrated to give learners a bird’s eye view of the entire
accounting process that normally happens in a business. The Accounting Cycle is divided into three
(3) phases of the business operation or accounting period namely:
a. During the accounting period
b. At the end of the accounting period
c. At the start of the next accounting period

The Rules of Debit and Credit

1. The Debits must always EQUAL Credits. The two-fold effect of a transaction or an event is
always recorded in accounting as a debit and credit. For every debit, there must be a
matching credit. Hence, this recording method is called the “double entry system”.

2. An increase in asset and expense must be recorded as a debit (normal balance). An increase
in liability, capital, and revenue must be recorded as a credit (normal balance).

3. A decrease in asset and expense must be recorded as a credit. A decrease in liability, capital,
and revenue must be recorded as a debit.

Recording and Classifying of Transactions

The recording and classifying of transactions presented here is only to complete your understanding
of the rules of debit and credit and it’s connection to the accounting equation. Classifying phase
involves the posting of journal entries into the ledger accounts to determine the unadjusted balance
of accounts. The entries made in the journal are to be transferred to the same debits and credits in
the respective ledger of each account. To check the accuracy of the posting, a Trial Balance is to
be prepared.

Measurement of Accountable Transactions:

In accounting, measurement of accountable transaction is guided by this maxim:
“ Value received = Valued parted with ”

Rules in measurement:
A. If entity gives asset – use Historical Cost Principle
GR: Value of the asset received is measured at the book value of asset given up, if the entity
doesn’t receive assets in return.
Exception to the GR: If the entity receives another asset in exchange.
a) Non-Cash asset received is valued at the fair value of asset given up (FVAGU)
b) Cash received is always measured at its fair value which is equal to its face value.
B. In cases where entity doesn’t give asset – use the Fair Value Principle
a) Only rule – Value received shall be measured at the fair value of the item received since
there is no Value parted with.

Fair value, also known as the fair market value is the price at which an independent and
willing buyer and willing seller exchange items in arm’s length transaction. According to IFRS
13, it is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an
orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

Book values, also known as the carrying value, is defined as the recorded value of an asset in
the accounting books of the entity.

The order of priority in using measurement values should be fair value of asset given up
(FVAGU), fair value of asset received (FVAR) if this is more evident than the FVAGU, then book
value of asset given up (BVAGU) if FVAGU and FVAR can’t be determined or the exchange
has no commercial substance.

Adjusting phase in the Accounting Cycle

There are events that cause silent or gradual changes on the elements of financial statements but
they are not directly observable and not usually captured by the accountant or bookkeeper during
the accounting process. Accountants need to record these accountable events in the accounting
books thru adjustment called “adjusting entries”. Adjusting entries are made at the end of the
accounting period in order to have fairly presented financial statements. Each adjusting entry affects
a balance sheet account and an

Adjusting entries are required for the following items:

1) Accrual of income
2) Accrual of expense
3) Deferral of expense or prepayments
a. Asset method
b. Expense method
4) Deferral of pre-collection
a. Liability method
b. Income method
5) Bad debts expense/Doubtful accounts expense ☺
a. Based on revenue
b. Based on accounts receivable
c. Aging of accounts receivable
6) Depreciation expense (systematic allocation) ☺

Deferral – is the postponement of the recognition of “an expense already paid but not yet incurred”
or of “a revenue already collected but not yet earned”.

Accrual – is the recognition of “an expense already incurred but not yet paid”, or “revenue earned
but not yet collected”.

Illustration no. 4: Accrual of Income and expense

ECQ Co. gave GCQ Inc. a ₱100,000 promissory note which pays 12% interest P.A. on October 1,
2019. The note has a maturity of 6 months.
To analyze this problem, draw a timeline as your guide. Determine the important dates, the date of
the note, the maturity date of the note, the cut-off date (end of year or end of accounting period),
then mark these on the timeline.

Analysis: The amount of ₱6,000 will

be collected and recorded on
March 31, 2020. However, Under
the accrual basis of accounting
and realization concept, a portion
of the interest is already earned
from October 1 to December 31,
2019 that is called “accrued
income”. On the part of the
borrower, that portion is referred to
as “accrued expense”.

The adjusting entry to record accrual of income would be:

Dec. 31 Accrued Interest Income 3,000
Interest Income 3,000
To record accrued interest income

MODULE 1 – FABM 2 Subject Teacher: John Paul M. Lagao

The lender (GCQ Inc.) should recognize an income due to passage of time. The account title
“Interest Receivable” can be used in lieu of Accrued Interest Income which is an asset account.

The adjusting entry to record accrual of expense would be:

Dec. 31 Interest expense 3,000
Accrued Interest expense 3,000
To record accrued interest expense
The borrower (ECQ Co.) should recognize an expense due to passage of time. The account title
“Interest Payable” can be used in lieu of Accrued Interest expense which is a liability account.

Illustration: Deferral of pre-payment and pre-collection.

ECQ Co. paid GCQ Inc. an amount of ₱60,000 on October 1, 2019 as payment for Office Rental
covering a 6-month period.
Analysis: The amount of ₱60,000
was already collected and
recorded on October 1, 2019.
However, Under the accrual basis
of accounting and realization
concept, a portion of the rent
income is not yet earned
representing the rental from
January 1 to March 31, 2020 that is
called “deferred income”. On the
part of the lessee, that portion is
referred to as “pre-paid expense”.

Under liability method, the adjusting entry to record deferral of pre-collection would be:
Dec. 31 Deferred rent income 30,000
Rent income 30,000
To record deferred rent income
The lessor (GCQ Inc.) should adjust the liability account at the end of the accounting period. The
account title “Unearned rent income” can be used in lieu of Deferred rent income which is a liability
account.

Under income method, the adjusting entry to record deferral of pre-collection would be:
Dec. 31 Rent income 30,000
Deferred rent income 30,000
To record deferred rent income
The lessor (GCQ Inc.) should adjust the income account at the end of the accounting period. The
account title “Unearned rent income” can be used in lieu of Deferred rent income which is a liability
account.

Under asset method, the adjusting entry to record deferral of pre-payment would be:
Dec. 31 Rent expense 30,000
Pre-paid rent 30,000
To record deferral of pre-payment
The lessee (ECQ Co.) should adjust the expense account at the end of the accounting period.

Under expense method, the adjusting entry to record deferral of pre-payment would be:
Dec. 31 Pre-paid rent 30,000
Rent expense 30,000
To record deferral of pre-payment
