1、Lesson Two:The Balance Sheet and Double-entry.Aims:1.To construct a balance sheet in a format used by business.2.To identify the essential features of a record bookkeeping system.3.To apply the double entry rule to simple transactions of a sole trader.4.To understand the aim of the trial balance in

2、the bookkeeping system.5.To examine the inter-relationship between the daily business records and the final accounts.2.1Introduction All organizations must prepare financial statements periodically,usually at least once a year.These normally comprise three main financial statements:(1)The Balance Sh

3、eet;(2)The Income Statement;(3)The Statement of Cash Flow.2.2The Effect of Transactions on the Balance Sheet John starts a business,selling denim clothes,trading as“John Clothing Co.”.On January 1st John opens a business bank account with$60 000 of his own money.John Clothing Co.Balance Sheet As at

5、ess will affect TWO items on the Balance Sheet.In this example the two items are:(1)Asset:cash at bank;(2)Equity:Johns capital.2.4Business Entity For accounting purposes,the owner and the business are treated as two separate.On January 2nd,John buys a second hand delivery van for$16 000 paying with

8、n the Balance Sheet are ordered and classified.2.7The Classification of Assets Assets are listed on the Balance Sheet in terms of liquidity,which means the most temporary assets(cash)listed first.1 The assets on the Balance Sheet are classified into two categories:(1)Current Assets are acquired by a

9、 business to be converted into other assets or consumed,in the normal course of business,within one year.(2)Fixed Assets are long life assets normally acquired by a business to be used over more than one year in the production of goods and services.2.8The Classification of Liabilities The creditors

10、on the Balance Sheet are classified into two categories:(1)Creditors:amounts falling due within one year.These are sometimes called Current Liabilities.(2)Creditors:amounts falling due after more than one year.These are sometimes called Long Term Liabilities.2.9Working Capital Net Current Assets(Wor

11、king Capital)is the difference between current assets and current liabilities.2.10Janes Business On the business balance sheet,the assets owned by the business less the liabilities(creditors)owed by the business equal the capital,the owners stake in the business.2.11Recording Business Transactions T

12、he Balance Sheet and other final accounts of a business are drawn up at the end of the accounting period.All organizations will,however,need to record their transactions on a regular basis during the accounting period.For each transaction it will be necessary to record the following:(1)the amount($)

13、;(2)the date;(3)a description of the transaction.2.12Basic Rules for Recording Business Transactions The rules for recording business transactions are that every transaction will at least affect two items.2.13An Example of Dual Aspect Concept A motor vehicle is bought for cash of$16 000.The two item

14、s affected are:(1)Motor Vehicle(+$16 000);(2)Cash(-$16 000).Each item must have its own record i.e.“account”in the books(ledgers)of the business.2.14Double Entry Rule ASSETS e.g.and EXPENSES e.g.DebitCreditINCREASES(+)DECREASES(-)EQUITY,CREDITORS,INCOME and PROVISIONSDebitCredit DECREASES(-)INCREASE

16、ties and equity and decrease assets.2.17Application of the Double Entry Rule 1.Identify the two items involved in the transaction(e.g.Cash and Capital).2.Ensure there is an account for each item(e.g.Cash A/c).3.Taking each item independently:4.Repeat the process in 3 with the other item involved in

17、the transaction.5.Check that one account has been debited and the other has been credited.2.18An Example of the Double Entry Rule On January 1st John starts in business,trading as“John Clothing Co.”.He puts$60 000 of his own money into a business bank account.Cash&Bank AccountDebit(=+)$Credit(=-)$Ja
