Introduction
As the Commission supports DepEd’s implementation of Senior High School (SHS), it upholds the vision
and mission of the K to 12 program, stated in Section 2 of Republic Act 10533, or the Enhanced Basic
Education Act of 2013, that “every graduate of basic education be an empowered individual, through a
program rooted on...the competence to engage in work and be productive, the ability to coexist in
fruitful harmony with local and global communities, the capability to engage in creative and critical
thinking, and the capacity and willingness to transform others and oneself.”
To accomplish this, the Commission partnered with the Philippine Normal University (PNU), the National
Center for Teacher Education, to develop Teaching Guides for Courses of SHS. Together with PNU, this
Teaching Guide was studied and reviewed by education and pedagogy experts, and was enhanced with
appropriate methodologies and strategies.
Furthermore, the Commission believes that teachers are the most important partners in attaining this
goal. Incorporated in this Teaching Guide is a framework that will guide them in creating lessons and
assessment tools, support them in facilitating activities and questions, and assist them towards deeper
content areas and competencies. Thus, the introduction of the SHS for SHS Framework.
The SHS for SHS Framework, which stands for “Saysay-Husay-Sarili for Senior High School,” is at the
core of this book. The lessons, which combine high-quality content with flexible elements to
accommodate diversity of teachers and environments, promote these three fundamental concepts:
SAYSAY: MEANING
Why is this important?
Through this Teaching Guide,
teachers will be able to facilitate
an understanding of the value
of the lessons, for each learner
to fully engage in the content
on both the cognitive and
affective levels.
HUSAY: MASTERY
How will I deeply understand this?
Given that developing mastery
goes beyond memorization,
teachers should also aim for
deep understanding of the
subject matter where they lead
learners to analyze and
synthesize knowledge.
SARILI: OWNERSHIP
What can I do with this?
When teachers empower
learners to take ownership of
their learning, they develop
independence and self-
direction, learning about both
the subject matter and
themselves.
SHS for SHS
Framework

This Teaching Guide is mapped and aligned to the DepEd SHS Curriculum, designed to be highly
usable for teachers. It contains classroom activities and pedagogical notes, and is integrated with
innovative pedagogies. All of these elements are presented in the following parts:
1. Introduction
• Highlight key concepts and identify the essential questions
• Show the big picture and concept maps
• Present the relevant vocabulary
• Connect and review prerequisite knowledge
• Clearly communicate learning competencies and objectives
2. Motivation
• Give local examples and applications
• Engage in a game or movement activity
• Provide a hands-on/laboratory activity
• Connect to a real-life problem
3. Instruction/Delivery
• Give a demonstration/lecture/simulation/hands-on activity
• Show step-by-step solutions to sample problems
• Use multimedia and other creative tools
• Give applications of the theory
• Focus on a specific story using the case study method
4. Practice
• Discuss worked-out examples
• Provide easy-medium-hard questions
• Give time for hands-on unguided classroom work and discovery
• Use formative assessment to give feedback
5. Enrichment
• Provide additional examples and applications
• Introduce extensions or generalisations of concepts
• Encourage analysis through higher order thinking prompts and reflection questions
• Allow pair/small group discussions to summarize and synthesize the learnings
6. Evaluation
• Supply a diverse question bank for written work and exercises
• Provide alternative formats for student work: written homework, journal, portfolio, group/individual
projects, student-directed research project

As Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) welcome the graduates of
the Senior High School program, it is of paramount importance to
align Functional Skills set by DepEd with the College Readiness
Standards stated by CHED.
The DepEd articulated a set of 21st century skills that should be
embedded in the SHS curriculum across various subjects and tracks.
These skills are desired outcomes that K to 12 graduates should
possess in order to proceed to either higher education,
employment, entrepreneurship, or middle-level skills development.
On the other hand, the Commission declared the College
Readiness Standards that consist of the combination of knowledge,
skills, and reflective thinking necessary to participate and succeed -
without remediation - in entry-level undergraduate courses in
college.
The alignment of both standards, shown below, is also presented in
this Teaching Guide - prepares Senior High School graduates to the
revised college curriculum which will initially be implemented by AY
2018-2019.

Communicating learning objectives
1. Introduce the following learning objectives:
a. I will be able to define accounting.
b. I will be able to describe the nature of accounting.
c. I will be able to explain the functions of accounting in business.
d. I will be able to narrate the history/origin of accounting.

4. Relate the connection of accounting to our daily activities.
MOTIVATION (2 MINS)
Ask the learners “Is accounting important to you?”. Leave this question unanswered. Remind the learners that you will ask this question again
after you discuss the introduction to accounting.
INSTRUCTION (30 MINS)
Define accounting
“Accounting is the process of IDENTIFYING, RECORDING, and
COMMUNICATING economic events of an organization to interested
users.” (Weygandt, J. et. al)
Explain the three highlighted words in the graphic:
IDENTIFYING – this involves selecting economic events that are
relevant to a particular business transaction
The economic events of an organization are referred to as transactions.
Examples of economic events or transactions - In a bakery business:
• sales of bread and other bakery products
2
Teacher tip
Acknowledge the answers of the
learners. As an alternative, ask
the learners to write anything
they know about accounting on
the board.

• purchases of flour that will be used for baking
• purchases of trucks needed to deliver the products
RECORDING – this involves keeping a chronological diary of events that are measured in pesos. The diary referred to in the definition are the
journals and ledgers which will be discussed in future chapters.
COMMUNICATING – occurs through the preparation and distribution of financial and other accounting reports.
Discuss the nature of accounting
According to Accounting Theory (http://accountingtheory.weebly.com/nature-and-scope-of-accounting.html): “Accounting is a systematic
recording of financial transactions and the presentation of the related information to appropriate persons.” Based on this definition we can
derive the following basic features of accounting:
• Accounting is a service activity. Accounting provides assistance to decision makers by providing them financial reports that will guide them in
coming up with sound decisions.
• Accounting is a process: A process refers to the method of performing any specific job step by step according to the objectives or targets.
Accounting is identified as a process, as it performs the specific task of collecting, processing and communicating financial information. In
doing so, it follows some definite steps like the collection, recording, classification, summarization, finalization, and reporting of financial
data.
• Accounting is both an art and a discipline. Accounting is the art of recording, classifying, summarizing and finalizing financial data. The word
‘art’ refers to the way something is performed. It is behavioral knowledge involving a certain creativity and skill to help us attain some specific
objectives. Accounting is a systematic method consisting of definite techniques and its proper application requires skill and expertise. So by
nature, accounting is an art. And because it follows certain standards and professional ethics, it is also a discipline.
• Accounting deals with financial information and transactions: Accounting records financial transactions and data, classifies these and finalizes
their results given for a specified period of time, as needed by their users. At every stage, from start to finish, accounting deals with financial
information and financial information only. It does not deal with non-monetary or non-financial aspects of such information.
• Accounting is an information system: Accounting is recognized and characterized as a storehouse of information. As a service function, it
collects processes and communicates financial information of any entity. This discipline of knowledge has evolved to meet the need for
financial information as required by various interested groups.
Discuss the function of accounting in business
Ask the learners to comment on why accounting is considered as the language of business.
Accounting is the means by which business information is communicated to business owners and stakeholders. The role of accounting in
business is to provide information for managers and owners to use in operating the business. In addition, accounting information allows
business owners to assess the efficiency and effectiveness of their business operations. Prepared accounting reports can be compared with
3

industry standards or to a leading competitor to determine how the business is doing. Business owners may also use historical financial
accounting statements to create trends for analyzing and forecasting future sales.
Accounting helps the users of these financial reports to see the true picture of the business in financial terms. In order for a business to survive,
it is important that a business owner or manager be well-informed.
Let us now discuss the function of accounting in business.
Mr. Juan is a retired government employee who is good at baking. One day he decides to put up a bakery shop in your barangay. He
renovates a portion of his house to serve as the area for the production of bread. He purchases baking equipment and raw materials to
produce five different types of bread. Mr. Juan also hires Jose to help him with the baking and, at the same time, to be in-charge of
sales. Mr. Juan pays Jose on a weekly basis. Every day, Mr. Juan’s wife deposits the daily cash sales in their bank account at XY Savings
Bank. With the help of accounting, what possible decisions or questions of Mr. Juan can accounting provide an answer to?
Possible Answers:
• Is my business earning? (profitability)
• How much daily or monthly sales do I need in order to recover my fixed cost? (break-even)
• Do I need to hire additional workers to help me with my production?
• Can I afford to set up a new store in another place? Where do I get the funds?
• Can I afford to pay a bank loan?
Discuss the history of accounting
Accounting is as old as civilization itself. It has evolved in response to various social and economic needs of men. Accounting started as a
simple recording of repetitive exchanges. The history of accounting is often seen as indistinguishable from the history of finance and business.
Following is the evolution of accounting:
• The Cradle of Civilization
Around 3600 B.C., record-keeping was already common from Mesopotamia, China and India to Central and South America. The oldest
evidence of this practice was the “clay tablet” of Mesopotamia which dealt with commercial transactions at the time such as listing of
accounts receivable and accounts payable.
• 14th Century - Double-Entry Bookkeeping
The most important event in accounting history is generally considered to be the dissemination of double entry bookkeeping by Luca Pacioli
(‘The Father of Accounting’) in 14th century Italy. Pacioli was much revered in his day, and was a friend and contemporary of Leonardo da
Vinci. The Italians of the 14th to 16th centuries are widely acknowledged as the fathers of modern accounting and were the first to commonly
use Arabic numerals, rather than Roman, for tracking business accounts. Luca Pacioli wrote Summa de Arithmetica, the first book published
that contained a detailed chapter on double-entry bookkeeping.

• French Revolution (1700s)
The thorough study of accounting and development of accounting theory began during this period. Social upheavals affecting government,
finances, laws, customs and business had greatly influenced the development of accounting.
• The Industrial Revolution (1760-1830)
Mass production and the great importance of fixed assets were given attention during this period.
• 19th Century – The Beginnings of Modern Accounting in Europe and America
The modern, formal accounting profession emerged in Scotland in 1854 when Queen Victoria granted a Royal Charter to the Institute of
Accountants in Glasgow, creating the profession of the Chartered Accountant (CA).
In the late 1800s, chartered accountants from Scotland and Britain came to the U.S. to audit British investments. Some of these accountants
stayed in the U.S., setting up accounting practices and becoming the origins of several U.S. accounting firms. The first national U.S.
accounting society was set up in 1887. The American Association of Public Accountants was the forerunner to the current American Institute
of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA).
In this period rapid changes in accounting practice and reports were made. Accounting standards to be observed by accounting
professionals were promulgated. Notable practices such as mergers, acquisitions and growth of multinational corporations were developed.
A merger is when one company takes over all the operations of another business entity resulting in the dissolution of another business.
Businesses expanded by acquiring other companies. These types of transactions have challenged accounting professionals to develop new
standards that will address accounting issues related to these business combinations.
• The Present - The Development of Modern Accounting Standards and Commerce
The accounting profession in the 20th century developed around state requirements for financial statement audits. Beyond the industry's
self-regulation, the government also sets accounting standards, through laws and agencies such as the Securities and Exchange Commission
(SEC). As economies worldwide continued to globalize, accounting regulatory bodies required accounting practitioners to observe
International Accounting Standards. This is to assure transparency and reliability, and to obtain greater confidence on accounting information
used by global investors.
Nowadays, investors seek investment opportunities all over the world. To remain competitive, businesses everywhere feel the need to
operate globally. The trend now for accounting professionals is to observe one single set of global accounting standards in order to have
greater transparency and comparability of financial data across borders.

INTRODUCTION ( 5 MINUTES)
Introduce the following learning objectives:
• I will be able to differentiate the different branches of accounting
• I will be able to explain the types of services rendered on the different branches.
MOTIVATION (5 MINUTES)
Draw a big tree with eight branches. As you discuss the topic, write the particular branch of accounting you are discussing on each branch.
Label the root of the tree as ’Accounting’.
INSTRUCTION (30 MINUTES)
Discuss the branches of accounting: According to Investopedia, (http://www.investopedia.com/university/accounting/accounting2.asp:
“Accounting is divided into several branches to better serve the needs of different users with varying information needs. These branches
sometimes overlap and they are often closely intertwined.”
Financial Accounting
Financial accounting is the broadest branch and is focused on the needs of external users. Financial accounting is primarily concerned with the
recognition, measurement and communication of economic activities. This information is communicated in a complete set of financial
statements. It is assumed under this branch that the users have one common information need. Financial accounting conforms with accounting
standards developed by standard-setting bodies. In the Philippines, there is a Council created to set these standards.
Examples of these financial reports include:
• the balance sheet (statement of financial condition)
• income statement (the profit and loss statement, or P&L)
• statement of cash flows
Financial accounting is primarily concerned with processing historical data. Although financial accounting generally meets the needs of external
users, internal users of accounting information also use these information for their decision-making needs.
Management (or Managerial) Accounting
8

Management accounting emphasizes the preparation and analysis of accounting information within the organization. The objective of
managerial accounting is to provide timely and relevant information for those internal users of accounting information, such as the managers
and employees in their decision-making needs. Oftentimes, these are sensitive information and is not distributed to those outside the business
- for example, prices, plans to open up branches, customer list, etc.
Managerial accounting involves financial analysis, budgeting and forecasting, cost analysis, evaluation of business decisions, and similar areas.
Government Accounting
Government accounting is the process of recording, analyzing, classifying, summarizing, communicating and
interpreting financial information about the government in aggregate and in detail reflecting transactions and other
economic events involving the receipt, spending, transfer, usability and disposition of assets and liabilities. This
branch of accounting deals with how the funds of the government are recorded and reported.
Ask the learners the following questions:
• What are the sources of income of the government? Possible Answer: Taxes paid by Filipinos
• Where do these taxes go? Possible Answer: Roads, Hospitals, for education and others
Government accounting deals with these transactions, the recording of inflow and outflow of funds of the
government.
Auditing
There are two types of auditing: external and internal auditing. External auditing refers to the examination of financial statements by an
independent CPA (Certified Public Accountant) with the purpose of expressing an opinion as to fairness of presentation and compliance with
the generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The audit does not cover 100% of the accounting records but the CPA reviews a
selected sample of these records and issues an audit report.
Internal auditing deals with determining the operational efficiency of the company regarding the protection of the company’s assets, accuracy
and reliability of the accounting data, and adherence to certain management policies. It focuses on evaluating the adequacy of a company's
internal control structure by testing segregation of duties, policies and procedures, degrees of authorization, and other controls implemented
by management.
Tax Accounting
Tax accounting helps clients follow rules set by tax authorities. It includes tax planning and preparation of tax returns. It also involves
determination of income tax and other taxes, tax advisory services such as ways to minimize taxes legally, evaluation of the consequences of tax
decisions, and other tax-related matters.

Teacher tip
Introduce the the Bureau
of Internal Revenue and its
role in the administration
and implementation of our
tax laws.

Cost Accounting
Sometimes considered as a subset of management accounting, cost accounting refers to the recording, presentation, and analysis of
manufacturing costs. Cost accounting is very useful in manufacturing businesses since they have the most complicated costing process.
Cost accountants also analyze actual and standard costs to help managers determine future courses of action regarding the company's
operations.
Cost accounting will also help the owner set the selling price of his products. For example, if the cost accounting records shows that the total
cost to produce one can of sardines is PHP50, then the owner can set the selling price at PHP60.
Accounting Education
This branch of accounting deals with developing future accountants by creating relevant accounting curriculum. Accounting professionals can
become faculty members of educational institutions. Accounting educators contribute to the development of the profession through their
effective teaching, publications of their research and influencing students to pursue careers in accounting. Accounting teachers share their
knowledge on accounting so that students are informed of the importance of accounting and its use in our daily lives.
Accounting Research
Accounting research focuses on the search for new knowledge on the effects of economic events on the process of summarizing, analyzing,
verifying, and reporting standardized financial information, and on the effects of reported information on economic events. Researchers
typically choose a subject area and a methodology on which to focus their efforts. The subject matter of accounting research may include
information systems, auditing and assurance, corporate governance, financials, managerial, and tax. Accounting research plays an essential
part in creating new knowledge. Academic accounting research "addresses all aspects of the accounting profession" using a scientific
method. Practicing accountants also conduct accounting research that focuses on solving problems for a client or group of clients. The
Accounting research helps standard-setting bodies around the world to develop new standards that will address recent issues or trend in global
business.

4. “What if you are from a Local Government Unit (City/Municipality)? Do you think the Local Government ( City/Municipality) will be interested
with your accounting reports/records?” Leave this question hanging and introduce to the topic for this lecture. Emphasize to the learners
that the focus of your discussions are the users of accounting information and their information needs.
Discuss the internal users of accounting information.
“Who uses accounting data or information?”
There are two broad categories of users of financial information: internal and external users.
INTERNAL USERS
Internal users of accounting information are those individuals inside a company who plan, organize, and run the business. These users are
directly involved in managing and operating the business. These include marketing managers, production supervisors, finance directors,
company officers and owners
Engage the learners in a question-and-answer type lecture.
Ask the learners to give examples of internal users and follow up with a question: “what information will that user need that can be answered by
accounting?”
Internal users (Primary Users) of accounting information include the following:
Management
Information need: income/earnings for the period, sales, available cash, production cost
Decisions supported: analyze the organization's performance and position and take appropriate measures to improve the company
results. sufficiency of cash to pay dividends to stockholders; pricing decisions
Employees
Information need: profit for the period, salaries paid to employees
Decisions supported: job security, consider staying in the employ of the company or look for other employment opportunities
14

Owners
Information need: profit or income for the period, resources or assets of the business, liabilities of the business
Decisions supported : considerations regarding additional investment, expanding the business, borrowing funds to support any
expansion plans.
Accounting information is presented to internal users usually in the form of management accounts, budgets, forecasts and financial
statements. This information will support whatever decision of the internal users.
Discuss the external users of accounting information
EXTERNAL USERS
External users are individuals and organizations outside a company who want financial information about the company. These users are not
directly involved in managing and operating the business. The two most common types of external users are potential investors and creditors.
Potential Investors use accounting information to make decisions to buy shares of a company . Creditors (such as suppliers and bankers) use
accounting information to evaluate the risks of granting credit or lending money. Also included as external users are government regulatory
agencies such as Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR), Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE),
Social Security System (SSS), and Local Government Units (LGUs).
External users (Secondary Users) of accounting information include the following:
Creditors: for determining the credit worthiness of an organization. Terms of credit are set by creditors according to the assessment of their
customers' financial health. Creditors include suppliers as well as lenders of finance such as banks.
Tax Authorities (BIR): for determining the credibility of the tax returns filed on behalf of a company.
Investors: for analyzing the feasibility of investing in a company. Investors want to make sure they can earn a reasonable return on their
investment before they commit any financial resources to a company.
Customers: for assessing the financial position of its suppliers which is necessary for them to maintain a stable source of supply in the long term.
Regulatory Authorities (SEC, DOLE): for ensuring that a company's disclosure of accounting information is in accordance with the rules and
regulations set in order to protect the interests of the stakeholders who rely on such information in forming their decisions.
Engage the learners in a question-and-answer type lecture:
15

Ask the learners to give examples of external users. Follow up with a question: “what kind of information do users need that can be answered
by accounting?”.
Possible answers on examples of External Users:
potential investors –
banks
suppliers
BIR
DOLE
Possible answers on information provided by Accounting:
Income or profit of the business
resources or assets of the business
liabilities or amount owed by the business to its suppliers
taxes paid by the business
salaries and other benefits paid to employees
Possible answers on the decisions of external users that are supported by accounting information:
Potential Investors – Is it profitable for me to invest in this business?
Banks – If extend a loan to this company, will it be able to pay this loan? Does this company have sufficient resources to pay its loan?
Suppliers – Do I extend credit to this company? For how long?
BIR – Is the owner paying the correct taxes?
DOLE – Are the employees paid according to what the law states? Do they get the benefits required?
16

SUMMARY OF THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL USERS
Internal users of accounting information are those who are involved in planning, organizing and running the business. They need more detailed
information on a timely basis in order to support their decisions. Examples of these internal users are managers, employees and owners.
The external users of accounting information are those individuals or organizations outside a company who are interested in its financial
information. Examples of these external users are potential investors, suppliers and government agencies.
17

Boardwork
Divide the class into two groups. Require them to act out internal and external users of accounting information. Give them five to ten minutes
to meet and prepare for their presentation. Each group should be able to present the information needs of the different users and relate these
information to their decision-making process.
Go back to the unanswered question in the first part of your introduction. Is the Local Government Unit (LGU) interested in your accounting
reports?
Possible Answer:
Yes. The LGU will check whether you are paying your local taxes. As required, businesses must have a business permit before they are allowed
to operate in the city or municipality. This is renewed every year, with appropriate taxes paid. The local government may review your
accounting records to check whether you are declaring or paying the correct taxes.
Ask this follow-up question: “Are the officers of the Local Government Unit internal or external users? Why?
Answer: External. They are not directly involved in the operation or management of the business.
EVALUATION (5 MINUTES)
Give at least 3 internal users of accounting information.
Give at least 3 external users of accounting information.
Differentiate internal users from external users of accounting information.

• I will be able to identify the advantages and disadvantages of the four forms of business organizations.
1. Ask them the following questions:
How much is your daily allowance?
• How much is your daily allowance?
• Do you know that with your daily allowance you can own a company?
2. Link the answers of the learners.
Tell them their daily allowance can be used to buy shares of stock of a corporation and that they
will become the owner of such a company”.
3. Inform them of the subject matter of your lecture.
1. Discuss sole/single proprietorship.
“Suppose you want to open your own sari-sari store that will need PHP10,000 to start and you used your PHP10,000 savings to start the said
business. You are the sole owner of the said sari-sari store. This type of business is called sole/single proprietorship.”
a. Ask what is their idea of a sole/single proprietorship.
Possible responses:
• A form of business is owned by one person; the simplest, and the most common form of business organization
21
Teacher tip
• Acknowledge the answers of the learners
and use the amounts as your basis in asking
the second question.
• Inform the learners that size of capital is not
the only basis of owning a corporation.

• It is not separate from the owner. The business and the owner are inseparable
b. Discuss the advantages of sole/single proprietorship.
Possible responses:
• The owner keeps all the profits.
• The owner makes all the decisions.
• It is easy to form and operate.
c. Discuss the disadvantages of sole/single proprietorship.
• The life of the business is limited to the life of the owner. Once the owner dies,
the business will cease to operate under the name of the proprietor.
• The amount of capital is limited only by the wealth of the proprietor.
2. Introduce the concept of partnership by asking the following suggested questions:
“What if the needed amount to start your dream sari-sari store is PHP50,000 and you only have
PHP25,000 cash savings. You ask Juan, your friend if he is willing to invest his PHP25,000 and
become part owner of the sari-sari store. Assuming he agrees, what form of business organization
was created?”
a. Discuss partnerships
• A form of business owned by two or more persons. The details of the
arrangement between the partners are outlined in a written document called
articles of partnership.
• Profits are divided among partners based on their agreed sharing.
• The owner is called a partner.
b. Discuss the advantages of a partnership
• Higher capital because two or more persons will contribute to the common fund.
• It is easy to operate like a sole/single proprietorship
22
Teacher tip
Inform the class how the Department of Trade
and Industry is the government agency that
regulates the trade names of sole/single
proprietorship businesses.
Misconception:
Some learners may ask that in their community,
once a person dies the business is continued
by his relatives. Emphasize that upon death of
the old owner, the business legally ceases. The
one taking over is considered as the new
owner.
Ask learners to use actual names of their
friends. Other types of businesses other than a
sari-sari store may be used by asking the
learners.
Read the Civil Code of the Philippines Articles
1767 to 1867 to supplement your readings.

c. Discuss the disadvantages of a partnership
• The profits are divided among the partners.
• A partner can be held liable for the acts of the other partners.

contributions and may be used to answer for any liability of the partnership.
3. Introduce the concept of a corporation by asking the following suggested questions:
“Assuming your dream is to open a grocery store and not just a sari-sari store but you will need
PHP1,000,000 to start the said business. You have only PHP25,000, your friend Juan has
PHP25,000, and your mother is willing to invest her PHP50,000, but still these are not enough to
start your dream grocery store. Where will you get the money to raise the PHP1 million? You may
consider setting up a corporation?”
a. Discuss corporations
• A corporation is a business organized as a separate legal entity (artificial person) under the corporation law with ownership
divided into transferable shares of stocks
• Emphasize that it is the law (Corporation Code of the Philippines) that creates a corporation.
• The corporation begins its existence from the date the Articles of Incorporation is approved by the Securities and Exchange
Commission (SEC).
• The SEC (Securities and Exchange Commission) is the government agency primarily tasked to regulate private corporations in
the Philippines.
• The owners are called stockholders or shareholders.
• The word ‘Corporation/Incorporation/Corp./Inc.’ appears in the name of the entity.
• The voting rights of a shareholder is generally based on the percentage of ownership.
• The management of the business is delegated by the shareholders to the Board of Directors
• The ownership is divided into shares and the value of one share may be denominated at a smaller amount, for example at
PHP10 per share.
• The proof of ownership is evidenced by a stock certificate.
At this point, the teacher will share a sample of a stock certificate and articles of incorporation.
23
Teacher tip
Visit the Securities and Exchange Commission
(SEC) website or download the Corporation
Code of the Philippines to supplement your
readings.
Cite names of corporations in their locality or
ask the learners if they have any idea what a
corporation is before discussing the topic.
Download sample Articles of Incorporation to
be shown during the discussion.

b. Discuss the advantages of a corporation
• Can easily raise additional funds by selling shares of stocks to the public.

• Subject to several legal restrictions as listed in the Corporation Code of the Philippines
4. Discuss the nature of cooperatives by asking the following suggested questions:
“Assuming all the mothers in your barangay decided to open a sari-sari store where all the members can buy in cash or in credit. Some
mothers were also taught how to sew dresses and bags as part of the project of the group. These bags are then sold to a certain company.
Aside from that, the organization provides seminars to the members on various topics involving mothers and their roles. At the end of the year,
the profits are distributed among the members based on their capital contribution. The amount of their purchases in the sari-sari store during
the year is also computed and they receive something out of the profit/surplus based on their purchases. This form of business organization is
called a cooperative.
a. Discuss cooperatives
• A cooperative is a duly registered association of persons with a common bond of interest, voluntarily joining together to
achieve their social, economic and cultural needs.
• The owners are called members who contribute equitably to the capital of the cooperative.
• The members are expected to patronize their products and services.

Lecture
3 types of business organizations:
• Service Business
This type of business offers professional skills, advice and consultations.
Examples: barber shops and beauty parlors, repair shops, banks, accounting and law firms
• Merchandising Business
This type of business buys at wholesale and later sells the products at retail. They make a profit by selling the merchandise or products at
prices that are higher than their purchase costs. This type of business is also known as "buy and sell".
Examples are: book stores, sari-sari stores, hardware stores
• Manufacturing Business
This type of business buys raw materials and uses them in making a new product, therefore combining raw materials, labour and expenses into
a product for sale later on.
Examples are: shoe manufacturing businesses, car manufacturing plants
Additional information:
There are businesses that may be classified under more than one type of business. A bakery, for example, combines raw materials in making
loaves of bread (manufacturing), sells hot pan de sal (merchandising), and caters customers’ orders in small coffee table servings of ensaymada
and hot coffee (service).

Teacher tip
You may use your own way to
introduce the topic.
Suggested Introductory Statement :
Last time, we were able to learn that
Accounting is considered the
language of business. In order for
business entities to determine their
financial performance, accounting is
needed. There are different forms of
business entities according to its
organization and operations. A
business can be organized as a sole
proprietorship, a partnership or
corporation. A business can be
operated as a service, merchandising
and manufacturing entity. Sometimes
we want to determine our
performance compared to similar
companies, however, since there are a
lot of ways and assumptions to
present financial reports, we need to
have a generally accepted rule for
accounting.
The purpose of our lesson for this
session is for you to be able to
identify the different concepts and
principles of accounting and identify if
a specific situation follows or violates
an accounting principle.

Petness First Petshop
Juan dela Cruz opened his pet shop business called Petness First Petshop. He opened a bank account for his business and deposited
PHP500,000. The business earned PHP50,000 but he had doubts with the recorded expense of PHP60,000. He is not sure if he should include
the following items as expenses:
Salary expense 20,000
Rent expense 10,000
Utilities expense (at home) 15,000
Utilities expense (at the store) 10,000
Insurance expense 5,000
Withdrawals 10,000
TOTAL 60,000
4. Ask the students what they think should not be included as expenses. Then explain why.
Possible Responses :
Salary expense – it should be included since it is related to the operations of the business
Rent expense – it should be included since the rent is for the business
Utilities expense (home) – should not be included; it is a personal expense
Utilities expense (store) – should be included; it is an expense of the business
Insurance expense – should be included since the insurance is for the business
Withdrawals – should not be included since the withdrawal is for personal use
Follow up statement :
The activity is an application of the Business Entity Principle which is one of the most important principles in accounting. Other principles of
accounting will be discussed in the next section.
34

Give a lecture.
The following principles should be discussed. After each principle, give a practical example. Suggested examples are given below.
• Business entity principle – a business enterprise is separate and distinct from its owner or investor.
Examples :
o If the owner has a barber shop, the cash of the barber shop should be reported separately from personal cash.
o The owner had a business meeting with a prospective client. The expenses that come with that meeting should be part of the company’s
expenses. If the owner paid for gas for his personal use, it should not be included as part of the company’s expenses.
• Going concern principle – business is expected to continue indefinitely.
Example: When preparing financial statements, you should assume that the entity will continue indefinitely.
• Time period principle – financial statements are to be divided into specific time intervals.
Example :
o Philippine companies are required to report financial statements annually.
o The salary expenses from January to December 2015 should only be reported in 2015.
• Monetary unit principle – amounts are stated into a single monetary unit
Example :
o Jollibee should report financial statements in pesos even if they have a store in the United States.
o IHOP should report financial statements in dollars even if they have a branch here in the Philippines
• Objectivity principle – financial statements must be presented with supporting evidence.
Example :
o When the customer paid Jollibee for their order, Jollibee should have a copy of the receipt to represent as evidence.
35

o When a company incurred a transportation expense, a voucher should be prepared as evidence.
• Cost principle – accounts should be recorded initially at cost.
Example :
o When Jollibee buys a cash register, it should record the cash register at its price when they bought it.
o When a company purchases a laptop, it should be recorded at the price it was purchased.
• Accrual Accounting Principle – revenue should be recognized when earned regardless of collection and expenses should be recognized when
incurred regardless of payment. On the other hand, the cash basis principle in which revenue is recorded when collected and expenses should
be recorded when paid. Cash basis is not the generally accepted principle today.
Example:
When a barber finishes performing his services he should record it as revenue. When the barber shop receives an electricity bill, it should
record it as an expense even if it is unpaid.
• Matching principle – cost should be matched with the revenue generated.
Example:
When you provide tutorial services to a customer and there is a transportation cost incurred related to the tutorial services, it should be
recorded as an expense for that period.
• Disclosure principle – all relevant and material information should be reported.
Example:
The company should report all relevant information.
• Conservatism principle – also known as prudence. In case of doubt, assets and income should not be overstated while liabilities and expenses
should not be understated.
Example: In case of doubt, expenses should be recorded at a higher amount. Revenue should be recorded at a lower amount.
36

• Materiality principle – in case of assets that are immaterial to make a difference in the financial statements, the company should instead record
it as an expense.
Example:
A school purchased an eraser with an estimated useful life of three years. Since an eraser is immaterial relative to assets, it should be recorded
as an expense.

Connect and/or review prerequisite knowledge
• Review the accounting equation. Ask them to differentiate the following:
• assets – resources owned by the company
• liabilities – debt owed by the company
• equity – residual interest of the owners

Account.
Give local examples and applications:
Ask the learners how they understand assets, liabilities and equity by asking them to give examples of each.
Lecture Proper
1. Introduce the types of major accounts: Assets, Liabilities, Owner’s Equity, Income and Expense.
• Define Assets, Liabilities, Owner’s Equity, Income and Expense
• Assets are the resources owned and controlled by the firm.
• Liabilities are obligations of the firm arising from past events which are to be settled in the future.
• Equity or Owner’s Equity are the owner’s claims in the business. It is the residual interest in the assets of the enterprise after

Accounts Payable are amounts due, or payable to, suppliers for goods purchased on account or for services received on account.
Notes Payable are amounts due to third parties supported by promissory notes.
Accrued Expenses are expenses that are incurred but not yet paid (examples: salaries payable, taxes payable)l
Unearned Income is cash collected in advance; the liability is the services to be performed or goods to be delivered in the future.
Non-Current Liabilities
Loans Payable
Mortgage Payable
4. Owner’s Equity
• Discuss what Owner’s Equity is.
Owner’s Equity is the residual interest of the owner from the business. It can be derived by deducting liabilities from assets.

• A chart of accounts is a listing of the accounts used by companies in their financial records.
• The chart of accounts helps to identify where the money is coming from and where it is going.
• The chart of accounts is the foundation of the financial statements.
The following are the steps in the preparation of a basic chart of accounts:

INTRODUCTION (5 MINUTES)
• I will be able to understand the uses of the two books of accounts (journal and ledger) in recording
business transactions.
• I will be able to explain the use of the general and special journals to record business transactions.
• I will be able to discuss the use of the general and subsidiary ledgers to record business transactions.
Review the learners by asking the definition of accounting.
“Accounting is the process of IDENTIFYING, RECORDING, and COMMUNICATING economic
events of an organization to interested users.” (Weygandt et.al.)
!
Ask the learners, “from the definition, where do we record the transactions that we have identified? What are the tools that we use to
document these transactions? How important are these records in accounting?”
Leave these questions unanswered. Inform the learners that you will ask these questions again after the discussion of the subject matter.
66
Teacher tip
Require the learners to bring one
sheet of : two-column, 3- column
and five-column worksheets. These
can be purchased at any school
supplies store in your area.

INSTRUCTION/DELIVERY/DISCUSSION (100 MINUTES)
The two major types of books of accounts are journal and ledger.
1. Discuss the journal
Companies initially record transactions and events in chronological order (the order in which they occur).
Thus, the journal is referred to as the book of original entry. For each transaction the journal shows the
debit and credit effects on specific accounts.
There are two types of journals, the general journal and the special journal.
GENERAL JOURNAL
The general journal is the most basic journal. Typically, a general journal has spaces for dates, account titles
and explanations, references, and two amount columns.
The journal makes several significant contributions to the recording process:
• It discloses in one place the complete effects of a transaction.
• It provides a chronological record of transactions.
• It helps to prevent or locate errors because the debit and credit amounts for each entry can be easily
compared.
Shown below is an example of a general journal
67
Teacher tip
Take note that the objective of this
chapter is for the learners to
appreciate the various tools used in
recording transactions. Actual
recording and use of these tools will
be discussed in ABM 2.
Teacher tip
As you illustrate the use of the
general journal please explain that
the accounting equation will be
maintained as the debit entry will be
accompanied by a credit entry. The
total debits should always equal total
credits.
The accounting equation will be
discussed in ABM1 Chapter 10
(Business Transactions)
General Journal
Date Account Title and Explanation Ref Debit Credit

Journalizing process
Entering transaction data in the journal is known as journalizing. Companies make separate journal entries for
each transaction. A complete entry consists of:
• The date of the transaction which is entered in the Date column.
• The debit account title (that is, the account to be debited) which is entered first at the extreme left margin
of the column headed “Account Titles and Explanation,” and the amount of the debit is recorded in the
Debit column.
• The credit account title (that is, the account to be credited) which is indented and entered on the next line
in the column headed “Account Titles and Explanation,” and the amount of the credit is recorded in the
Credit column.
• A brief explanation of the transaction which appears on the line below the credit account title. A space is
left between journal entries. The blank space separates individual journal entries and makes the entire
journal easier to read.
• The column titled Ref. (which stands for Reference)which is left blank when the journal entry is made. This
column is used later when the journal entries are transferred to the ledger accounts.
To illustrate the recording of transactions in the general journal, let us use the following transactions as an
example:
• September 1, 2015 Mr. Ben Mabait invested PHP500,000 in a restaurant business by opening an account
with SuperBank.
• September 5, 2015 purchased kitchen appliances for his business amounting to PHP100,000 by issuing a check.
• September 6, 2015 started his operations a made a sales for that day amounting to PHP20,000.
68
Teacher tip
There are available books of this
format that can be bought in a
bookstore. All the learners have to
do is to fill it up. They can use a two-
column book for a general journal.
Teacher tip
Review the topic on Chart of
Accounts. The account title to be
used in the column provided should
coincide with the titles that are listed
in the Chart of Accounts.

We will now record the above transactions in the general journal.
Some entries involve only two accounts, one debit and one credit. An entry like these is considered a simple entry. Some transactions, however,
require more than two accounts in journalizing. An entry that requires three or more accounts is a compound entry. All of the transactions in the
above examples are simple entries. An example of a compound entry is the following:
On September 7, 2015, Mr. Mabait purchased a motorcycle costing PHP80,000. He pays PHP30,000 cash and agrees to pay the remaining
PHP50,000 on account (to be paid later). The compound entry is as follows:
69
General Journal
9/1/15 Cash
B. Mabait, Capital
To record investment of Mr. Ben Mabait
500,000 500,000
9/5/15 Kitchen Appliances
Cash
To record purchase of kitchen appliances
100,000 100,000
9/6/15 Cash
Sales
To record sales for the day
20,000 20,000
Teacher tips
• It is important to use correct and
specific account titles in
journalizing. The main criterion is
that each title must appropriately
describe the content of the account.
• Some practitioner or CPA uses
“Description or Particulars” instead
of Account Titles and Explanation.
• Remind the learners that for every
journal entry the total debits and
credit should always be equal. If
not, the entry is erroneous.

SPECIAL JOURNALS
Some businesses encounter voluminous quantities of similar and recurring transactions which may create congestion if these transactions are
recorded repeatedly in a single day or a month in the general journal. Take the case of our example above, if Mr. Mabait will record the sales
per day using the Official Receipt or Cash Sales Invoice issued, it would be unnecessary and impractical to credit “sales” account repeatedly. In
order to facilitate efficient and practical recording of similar and recurring transactions, a special journal is used.
The following are the commonly used special journals:
• Cash Receipts Journal – used to record all cash that has been received
• Cash Disbursements Journal – used to record all transactions involving cash payments
• Sales Journal (Sales on Account Journal) – used to record all sales on credit (on account)
• Purchase Journal (Purchase on Account Journal) – used to record all purchases of inventory on credit (or on account)
Cash Receipts Journal is used to record transaction involving receipt or collection of cash. The following illustrate the format of a cash receipts
journal:

Receivable
Sundry
Teacher tip
The format may vary depending on
the nature of business and the
frequency of transactions.

• The date of the transaction is entered in the date column.
• A brief explanation of the transaction is entered in the description column.
• The column titled Ref. (which stands for Reference) which is left blank when the journal entry is made. This column is used later when the
journal entries are transferred to the ledger accounts.
• The Debit Cash column represents the amount of cash received for a particular transaction.
• Major categories of receipts, such as cash sales and collection of accounts receivable are provided with separate columns. These
transactions are frequent and repetitive items, therefore a separate column is provided.
• The column sundry is used for various miscellaneous and less regular items, such as capital investment, receipt of loan proceeds, among
others.
The source document for this journal is the Official Receipts or Cash Receipts issued by the business.
Cash Disbursements Journal (CDJ)
The cash disbursements journal is the opposite of the cash receipts journal. It is the journal where all cash payments are recorded. An
example of a cash disbursement journal is shown below:
71
Cash Disbursements Journal
DATE DESCRIPTION (PARTICULARS) REF Check or Voucher
Number
Credit Debit Debit Debit Credit
Cash Accounts Payable Salaries Supplies Sundry

• A brief explanation of the transaction is entered in the description column.
• The Check or Voucher number represents the identifying number of the check issued for the related cash payment. Most of the time, a
check or cash voucher accompanies the disbursement. The voucher number may be used as the alternative for this column.
• The Debit Cash column represents the amount of cash received for a particular transaction.
• Major categories of receipts, such cash sales and collection of accounts receivable are provided with separate columns. These transactions
are frequent and repetitive items, therefore a separate column is provided.
• The column sundry is used for various miscellaneous and less regular items, such as capital investment, receipt of loan proceeds, among
others.
The source documents used to update this journal are the check voucher or cash voucher, cash receipts or official receipts from suppliers or
vendors.
Sales Journal (Sales on Account Journal)
The Sales Journal or Sales on Account Journal is used in recording several sales transactions on account. The source document for this
journal is the charge invoice or sales invoice (for credit transactions) to various customers or clients. An example of a sales journal is shown
below:
72
Sales Journal
DATE DESCRIPTION (CUSTOMER NAME) REF Charge

• A brief explanation of the transaction is entered in the description column or the name of the customer.
• The Charge Invoice Number or Sales Invoice Number represents the identifying number of the source document issued to the customer
when the sale was made.
• The Debit Accounts Receivable column represents the amount of the sale transactions indicated in the charge invoice.
• The Credit Sales column represents the amount of the sale transactions indicated in the charge invoice.
The source document for this journal is the Charge Invoice issued by the business.
Purchase Journal (Purchases on Account Journal)
The Purchase journal or the Purchases on Account Journal is used to record recurring transactions of purchases on account. The source
documents for purchase journal are the invoices from the supplier of the company. An example of a Purchase Journal is shown below:
• A brief explanation of the transaction is entered in the description column or the name of the supplier
73
Purchase Journal

• The Charge Invoice Number or Sales Invoice Number represents the identifying number of the source document issued by the supplier
when the items, goods or merchandise were delivered to the company when the purchase was made.
• The Debit Purchases column represents the amount of the goods purchases as indicated in the charge invoice from the supplier
• The Credit Accounts Payable column represents the amount of the goods or items purchased on credit from the supplier. The amount is
indicated in the charge invoice issued by the supplier.
The source document for this journal is the charge invoice from the supplier or vendor.
2. Discuss the ledger
The ledger refers to the accounting book in which the accounts and their related amounts as recorded in the journal are posted periodically.
The ledger is also called the ‘book of final entry’ because all the balances in the ledger are used in the preparation of financial statements. This
is also referred to as the T-Account because the basic form of a ledger is like the letter ‘T’.
There are two kinds of ledgers, namely; the general ledger and the subsidiary ledgers.
GENERAL LEDGER
The general ledger (commonly referred by accounting professionals as GL) is a grouping of all accounts used in the preparation of financial
statements. The GL is a controlling account because it summarizes all the activities that have taken place as recorded in its subsidiary ledger.
The format of a general ledger is shown below:
74
General Ledger
Account: Cash Account No.: 1000
Date Item Ref Debit Credit Balance

• The account portion refers to the account title for example: cash, accounts receivable.
• The account number is an assigned number for each account title to facilitate ease in recording and cross-referencing.
• The Date column identifies when the transaction happened.
• The item represents the source journal and the nature of the transactions
• The Reference identifies the page number of the general our special journal from which the information was taken.
• The Debit and Credit columns are used in recording the amount of transactions from the general journal or special journal.
• The Balance Column represents the running balance of the Account after considering the debit and credit amounts. If the running balance
amount is positive, the account has a debit balance whereas if it has a negative running balance, the accounts has a credit balance.
SUBSIDIARY LEDGER
A subsidiary ledger is a group of like accounts that contains the independent data of a specific general ledger. A subsidiary ledger is created or
maintained if individualized data is needed for a specific general ledger account. An example of a subsidiary ledger is the individual record of
various payables to suppliers. The total amount of these subsidiary ledgers should equal the balance in the Accounts Payable general ledger.
An example of a subsidiary ledgers are shown below:
• The upper portion indicates the name and address of the vendor or supplier.
• The vendor number is an assigned number for each vendor as reference in keeping the records of a supplier.
75
Accounts Payable
Subsidiar Ledger
Vendor/Supplier: Joy Food Corporation
Address: Jose St, Sampaloc, Manila
Vendor No.: 201

• The Date column identifies when the transaction happened.
• The description column describes the nature of transaction.
• The Reference identifies the page number of the general our special journal from which the information was taken.
• The Debit and Credit columns reflect the various effects of every transaction to the record of the supplier or vendor.
• The Balance column provides the running balance of every supplier.
Take note that the total running balance for all subsidiary ledgers should equal the Accounts payable general ledger.
At the end of this lecture, go back to the following questions posed in the motivation part:
“Accounting is the process of IDENTIFYING, RECORDING, and COMMUNICATING economic
events of an organization to interested users.”
Ask the learners, “from the definition, where do we record the transactions that we have identified? What are the tools that we use to
document these transactions? How important are these records in accounting?”
PRACTICE (30 MINS)
Identify what special journal that is applicable for the following transactions:
1. Collected PHP10,000 from a customer in payment of his account.
Answer: Cash Receipts Journal
2. Bought 100 pieces of mugs to be sold in the store amounting to PHP1,500 on account.
Answer: Purchase Journal.
3. Sold five pieces of mugs to X, PHP320 cash.
Answer: Cash Receipts Journal (the learner may answer Sales Journal (SJ), correct them as this transaction is a cash sale, SJ is applicable
only to “ on account” transactions.
76

4. Sold two pieces of mugs to Y, PHP112 cash
Answer: Cash Receipts Journal
5. Purchased office supplies for cash, PHP500.

Answer : Sales Journal
10. Purchase on account 1,000 pieces of mugs for PHP12,400
Answer: Purchase Journal
Recitation
1. Differentiate General Ledger from a Subsidiary Ledger
Suggested Answer:
A subsidiary ledger contains the details supporting the balance in the general ledger account. For example, a subsidiary ledger is maintained
for all receivables from customers; the sum of balances per customer should equal the balance of Accounts Receivable Account in the general
ledger account.
2. Differentiate General Journal from a General Ledger
Suggested Answer:
Accounting transactions are first recorded in the general journal and in order of their occurrence. A general ledger contains a summary at the
account level of every transaction that a business has engaged in.
The general journal records all the transactions whereas the general ledger the effect of these journal entries to every account title.
The general journal is called the book of original entry while the general ledger is called the book of final entry.
77

Exercise
Prior to this meeting, require the learners to bring two-column and three-column worksheets. Using these
columnar sheets, require the learners to prepare the format of general journal, cash receipts journal, cash
disbursement journal, sales journal, purchase journal, general ledger and subsidiary ledger. After
submission, the teacher will review if what they have prepared conforms to the format illustrated above.
Write comments or corrections if necessary and return to the learners. Discuss common errors committed.
Summarize the discussions made.
1. Types of transactions recorded in the cash receipts journal:
• cash received from a charge (on account) customer
• cash received from a charges (on account) customer less a cash discount
• cash sales
• cash received from sale of other assets.
• all other transactions that require the issuance of a Cash receipt or Official Receipt document
2. A sales journal is used when two conditions are met:
• merchandise is sold
• the sale is on account
3. A cash disbursements journal (cash payments journal) is used to record the following transactions:
• purchase of merchandise for cash
• payment to creditor, vendors or suppliers
• all cash payments
Ask the learners “how important are the journals and ledgers in accounting?”
78
Teacher tip
Discuss the common errors or
mistakes encountered by the learners
and inform them of the correct way of
preparing the journals and ledgers.

If the learners have access to Microsoft Excel, the teacher may ask the learners to prepare the journals and ledger using the excel format.
QUIZ
1. Enumerate all special journals. (4 points)
Answers:
• Cash Receipts Journal
• Cash Disbursement Journal
• Purchase Journal (Purchase Journal on account)
• Sales Journal (Sales Journal on account)
2. Why do companies use special journals?
(or What are the advantages of using a special journal)(7 points)
Suggested Answer:
Special journals are designed to facilitate the process of journalizing and posting transactions. They are used for most frequent transactions in a
business. For example, in merchandising businesses, companies acquire merchandise from suppliers frequently. To avoid repetitive journal
entries for these transactions, a special journal (in this case: the purchase journal) is used.
3. Identify the appropriate special journal to be used for every source document listed below: (4 points)
• Official Receipt issued by the company
Answer: Cash Receipts
• Charge Invoice issued by the company
Answer: Sales Journal
• Charge Invoice from a supplier

Review of types of businesses
Ask the learners to recall the discussion on types of businesses according to activities and ask them to
differentiate the following:
Post/show the following pictures and ask the learners to identify the type of business according to the
activity shown.
81
Teacher tip
Ask the learners what the picture is before
asking them the type of activities.
Modify the activity by picking different
industries and showing service,
merchandising, and manufacturing
businesses in that industry.
1. car mechanic / repair - service
2. car parts store - merchandising
3. car making - manufacturing

Examples of Service Businesses
Ask the learners to give examples of service businesses in their community.
Possible Answers:
• barbershop
• offices of practicing doctors, lawyers and other professionals
• repairs of TV and other electrical equipment
• auto repair shop
• laundry shop
• dressmaker
Review the discussion on five major accounts, namely: assets, liabilities, equity (capital), income,
expenses.
• Assets are resources owned by a business.
• Liabilities are claims against the assets of the business.
• Equity (capital) is the claim of the owner or owners.
• Income are increases in the equity or capital resulting from business activities entered into.
• Expenses are decreases in the equity or capital resulting from business activities. It may include
assets or services consumed in the process of earning income
After the review, inform the students about the importance of understanding these accounts in
recording transactions involving service businesses.
INSTRUCTION (420 MIN)
Discuss the nature of a service business
A service business provides a needed service for a fee. In general, service businesses actually have no
physical product sold to clients. Their services are designed to facilitate the work of clients and in return
are paid. Service businesses include salons or barbershops, laundry services, car repairs, medical
centers and services of professionals like lawyers and doctors. The revenue of a service business is
usually realized once the service has been substantially completed. Aside from the minor supplies, the
service business does not maintain a high level of inventory as compared to merchandising and
manufacturing businesses. In relatively small service businesses, all transactions are on cash payments.
This means sales are collected immediately while most expenses are paid outright in the form of cash
82
Teacher tip
An understanding of these major accounts
is needed in the discussion of the subject
matter.
Teacher tip
Ask the learners to recall the discussion on
types of businesses according to activities

or checks. The typical financial transactions recorded for a service company include collecting a deposit
from the customer, providing the service and receiving payment.
Ask the learners to assist you in walking through the operations of certain service business. Use a repair
shop of TVs and other electrical appliances as an example. Ask the learners what events or transactions
usually occur in a repair shop.
Discuss the accounting cycle of a service business
The accounting cycle is a continuous process of accumulating, summarizing and reporting financial
information. The steps include:
Step 1 - Transactions and/or Events
Identification and measurement of external transactions and internal events. At this stage, the
documents used by the business are analyzed whether it has financial impact or effect. Recall the rule
that only financial transactions are recorded and that the amount can be measured. These two
conditions must exist in order that a particular transaction is recognized or recorded. As defined,
financial transactions are those activities that change the value of an asset, liability or an equity.
Examples of financial transactions:
• Receipt of cash from a client as advance payment to repair a computer. In this case (asset) will
increase. At the same time, the advances from client (liability) will also increase. The advances from
client is a liability because the business has the obligation to render future service to the client.
• Payment of electric bill is a financial transaction. This will decrease the cash (asset) and reduce the
income of the business at the same time.
83
Teacher tip
In this chapter, the first four steps are
discussed. It is suggested that this figure is
posted on the board while discussing each
step discussed.

THE ACCOUNTING CYCLE

Examples of non-financial transactions:
• hiring and termination of employees
• recognition from the government as most outstanding business
• death of owner
The information needed when recording transactions are taken from forms used to document
these transactions. In a typical service business, the following are the business documents
used:
1. Official Receipt or Cash Receipt
This document is used when a business receives money or a check. An Official Receipt or
Cash Receipt is a document that acknowledges that money or a check have been
received.
2. Charge Invoice or Sales Invoice
A charge invoice is a document used when a service has been rendered, but the client
will be billed only after a certain number of days from the date of service. Often, a
company will issue a statement of account to a customer, with the charge or sales invoice
attached. For example: in a laundry business, a customer may avail of the services of the
business. However, that customer and the owner of the business had a prior agreement
that all services availed by the customer will be paid only after 30 days. In this case, a
charge invoice is issued on the day the client availed of the services.
3. Check or Cash Voucher
The check voucher is a document used when a check is issued to pay a certain supplier or
vendor. For example, in a laundry business, for the payment of monthly electricity bills,
the business may pay either in cash or check. But the company must prepare a cash or
check voucher to support this payment. This document will serve as a record of payment
and, at the same time, as proof that payment has been made by the company.

Step 2 - Preparation of Journal Entries (journalization)
Through the use of specialized journals (such as those for sales, purchases, cash receipts, and cash
disbursements) and the general journal, transactions and events are entered into the accounting
records. These are called the books of original entry.
Debits and Credits are an integral part of the journalization process. In accounting, debits or credits are
abbreviated as DR and CR respectively.
When to Debit and when to Credit: An increase in an asset account is called a debit and an increase in
a liability or equity account is called a credit. Likewise, if we decrease an asset account we credit that
account. On the other side of the equation, if we decrease a liability or equity account we debit those
accounts.
Rules on Debits and Credits
• The name of the account to be debited is always listed first. The debited account is listed on the
first line with the amount in the left side of the register.
• The credited account is listed on the second line and is usually indented. The credited amount is
recorded on the right side of the register.
• The total amount of debit should always equal the total amount of credit.
Recall the discussion on the Chart of Accounts
The Chart of Accounts is a listing of all account titles used in the business to record all the transactions.
It is arranged according to the order of their appearance in the financial statements. Refer to Table X

TABLE X. SAMPLE CHART OF ACCOUNTS

Let us take the case of Pedro Matapang, a computer technician. Pedro decided to open his computer
repair shop on February 14, 2016, naming it Matapang Computer Repairs. Pedro knows that business
transactions should be separated from personal finances. Thus, he decided to invest PHP200,000 in this
business. He deposited the amount with Nation Bank.
Entry:
Notice that we have debited Cash, an asset account and credited Matapang, Capital, an equity
account.
February 15, 2016 - Pedro purchased one computer unit from XY Computer Store to be used for the
business. He issued check number 001 amounting to PHP25,000.
Entry:
Notice that the debit to office equipment increased the asset account and the credit to cash decreased
the asset account.
February 16, 2016 - Pedro hired Juana Magaling, an experienced secretary.
Entry: No entry. This is not a financial transaction.

Journal Entries in a Corporate Set-up
The example above assumed that the business is a sole proprietorship. How are transactions recorded if
the owner of the business is a Corporation? Basically, the same entries are made, except for transactions
affecting capital or equity accounts. To illustrate, let us take the following case:
Sweeper Corporation was established to provide janitorial services to clients for a fee. The corporation
issued 5,000 shares of common stock, at PHP100 par value to shareholders. The issue price paid by the
shareholders on January 3, 2016 equal the par value. The entry to record this transaction is:
In the above example, if the issue price is PHP120 per share, what is the entry?

To record issuance of 5,000 shares at Php120 per share, Php100 par value

Step 3 – Posting
The summary (in specialized journals) or individual transactions (in the general journal) are then posted
from the journals to the general ledger (and subsidiary ledgers). Nothing should ever get posted to the
ledgers without first being entered in a journal.
Recall the lesson on the general ledger. We will now post the previous transactions of Pedro to the
general ledger. For purposes of discussion, we will be using the three-column ledger.

Step 4 - Unadjusted Trial Balance
At the end of an accounting period (for example, one month or one year) the working trial balance is
prepared. This involves copying each account name and account balance to a worksheet (working trial
balance). The resulting first two columns of the worksheet are called the unadjusted trial balance.
In the preparation of the unadjusted trial balance, the balances in all the general ledgers at the end of
the reporting date are forwarded to the appropriate column. The unadjusted trial balance for the
transactions in our example from Step 3 is the following:

This is the end of the first four steps. The
next four steps will be discussed in Chapter
11.

Review of the Accounting Equation
The basic accounting equation is what drives double-entry bookkeeping. The equation reflects the
accounts reported in the balance sheet. The basic accounting equation is as follows:
ASSETS = LIABILITIES + OWNERS' EQUITY
This is a very simple algebraic equation that reflects how the assets of an entity must be supported by
either debt or equity. As in algebra, if we add or subtract something from one side of the equation we
must add or subtract the same amount from the other side. For example, if we were to increase cash
(an asset) we might have to increase note payable (a liability account) so that the basic accounting
equation remains in balance.
PHP 500 = PHP 500 .
Applying, the formula to our transactions in Step 3 above, the effects of these transactions to the
equation are shown below:
Notice that at all times, the effects of the transaction to the right and left side of the formula should be
equal. If not, the journal entry is erroneous.

ENRICHMENT (30 MIN)
Compound Journal Entry
What has been discussed in the above illustration required the learners to prepare a simple journal entry. A
simple journal entry has one account title on the debit side and one account title on the credit side. However,
there are instances where in one particular transaction, two or more accounts on either the debit or credit
side are affected. In this case, the business may prepare a compound journal entry. A compound journal entry
combines one or more accounts on the debit side or the credit side.
95
Required Task
Using the following format, identify the effects of
above transactions to the accounting equation:
Example:
+200 = + 200 .
To illustrate, assume that Jose Magalang decided to open a
barbershop business in Makati City. He invested his old computer and
PHP25,000 for this venture with a fair value of PHP15,000 to start the
business. Notice that two account titles, Office Equipment and Cash,
were debited in this entry.
General Journal
Cash 25,000

Teacher Tip
Ask the learners to differentiate a
simple entry from a compound entry
after the discussion of this part.
On September 7, 2016, Jose purchased various store equipment to be
used in the business. The total cost of the equipment is PHP150,000.
The supplier required Jose to pay 30% as down payment, with the
balance payable 30 days after. Notice that you have two account
titles, Cash and Accounts Payable, affected on the credit side.

MOTIVATION (5 MINS)
Examples of Service Businesses
Ask a learner to give examples of a service business. Acknowledge all possible answers and correct
them if necessary. Get one example of a service business from those enumerated by the learner. Ask
the learners to imagine the possible transactions that may occur in that particular business.
Relate the answers of the learners to the subject matter of this chapter.
Discuss Steps 5 to 8 of the Accounting Cycle
Step 5 - Worksheet
This step is simply about plotting the items in the unadjusted trial balance on the worksheet.
In a manual accounting system, a worksheet is a large columnar sheet of paper specifically designed to
conveniently arrange all the accounting information required at the end of a period. The worksheet is
used to check whether ledger accounts are balanced and adjusted. The satisfactory completion of a
worksheet provides assurance that all the details of the end-of-period accounting procedures were
properly brought together. The worksheet serves as the source in the preparation of financial
statements and other closing and adjusting entries.
The body of the worksheet contains five pairs of money columns. A sample of a worksheet is shown

Recall our example in Chapter 10, about Pedro Matapang who
started his Matapang Computer Repairs business on February 14,
2016. The following transactions transpired in February 2016:
1. February 14, 2016 - Pedro Matapang invested PHP200,000 into
his Matapang Computer Repair business.
2. February 15, 2016 - Pedro purchased one computer unit from
XY Computer Store to be used for his business. He issued check
number 001 amounting to PHP25,000.
3. February 16, 2016 - Pedro hired Juana Magaling, an
experienced secretary.
4. February 17, 2016 – Repaired the computer of Jean and
collected PHP10,000.
5. February 18, 2016 – Repaired the computer of Mike; however,
Mike will pay PHP15,000 only on March 18, 2016.
6. February 19, 2016 – Pedro purchased Office Supplies from MM
Merchandise amounting to PHP5,000 on account. Pedro will
pay this on March 30, 2016.
7. February 25, 2016 – Paid the salary of Juana amounting to
PHP4,000.

Recall that after posting to the general ledger, the unadjusted trial balance was:
This now represents the first two money columns in the worksheet.
Step 6 – Adjusting Entries
At the end of the accounting period, some accounts in the general ledger would require updating. The
journal entries that bring the accounts up to date are called adjusting entries. One purpose of adjusting
entries is for income and expenses to be reported in the correct period.
Adjusting entries ensure that both the revenue recognition and matching principles are followed.
Prior to your lecture, recall the previous discussion on accounting principles and concepts, specifically
the matching principle.

Teacher tip
The business of Pedro Matapang will be
used throughout the discussion of this
subject matter so that the teacher will find it
easy to trace the transactions and complete
the accounting cycle of a service business.

Revenue Recognition – accounting standards require that revenue is recognized when it is earned and the amount
can be measured reliably. To illustrate:
• Assume that you are preparing the financial statements for Feb 2016. Matapang Computer Repairs rendered
services amounting to PHP25,000 for the repair of the computer units of Mr. Tamad on Feb 26, 2016. However,
the payment for these services of Matapang will be made on Mar 15, 2016.
Question: when should you recognize the PHP25,000 as revenue or income, in February or March? Applying the
revenue recognition principle, it should be reported as revenue for February 2016.
• Assume that you are preparing the financial statements for February 2016. On February 28, 2016, Matapang
Repairs received payment from Mr. Tamad amounting to PHP25,000. This payment is for the repair of the
computer units of Mr. Tamad on March 5, 2016.
Question: when should you recognize the PHP25,000 as revenue or income, in February or March? Applying the
revenue recognition principle, it should be reported as revenue in March 2016. Take note that since the service
will be rendered in March, the revenue should also be earned in March. What about February 2016? The amount
is recorded as a liability because Matapang Repairs has the obligation to render this service in the future.
Matching Principle - this principle directs a business to report an expense on its income statement within the same
period as its related income. To illustrate:
• Assume that you are preparing the financial statements for February 2016. The business gives a commission of
10% service income to its employees. The commission is paid the following month. On February 2016, the total
service income for the month is PHP100,000. Thus, the employees are entitled to a commission of PHP10,000.
This amount will be paid on March 12, 2016. Question: when should the commission expense be recorded in the
book of accounts of the business, in March or in February? Applying the matching principle, the answer is in
February.
Adjusting entries are made at the end of each accounting period. Adjusting entries make it possible to report correct
amounts on the statement of financial position and on the income statement. All adjusting entries affect at least one
income statement account and one statement of financial position account. Thus, an adjusting entry will always
involve an income or an expense account and an asset or a liability account. There are five basic sources of adjusting
entries:
1. Depreciation expense
2. Deferred expenses or prepaid expenses
3. Deferred Income or unearned income
4. Accrued expenses or accrued liabilities
5. Accrued income or accrued assets
103
Teacher tip
The revenue recognition and
matching principle were
discussed in ABM 1 Chapter
6 (Accounting Concepts and
Principles)

#1 Depreciation. Depreciation is a method of allocating the cost of an asset to an expense over the
accounting periods that make up the asset’s useful life. Examples of assets subject to depreciation are:
Store, Office, Building, and Transportation equipment. These types of assets lose their ability to provide
useful service as time passes. Depreciation can also be referred to as the decrease in the usefulness of
these types of assets. Take note that Land is not subject to depreciation because the value of land
mostly increases as time passes.
Exercise on Adjusting entries to record Depreciation
Recall that Matapang acquired office equipment on February 15, 2016 for his repair shop business. The
cost of the equipment is PHP25,000. It was estimated to have a useful life of five years. It is estimated
that after five years, the office equipment can be sold at a scrap value of PHP1,000. The company uses
the straight line method of depreciation.
Depreciation is a means of allocating the cost of an asset to an expense over the accounting period
that will benefit the use of the asset. In the exercise above, the equipment will be used by Matapang
for five years. Proper accounting procedures dictates that the cost of PHP25,000 should be spread over
five years.
There are several methods or formulas to compute the amount of depreciation. The simplest is the
straight line method. The formula is Annual Depreciation : ( Acquisition Cost – Salvage or Residual
Value) / Useful Life. Applying this formula to the exercise:
Annual Depreciation = (25,000-1,000) / 5
= PHP4,800
If the accounting period being reported by Matapang is for the month ending February 29, 2016, the
adjusting entry to record this depreciation in the books of Matapang is:
The depreciation expense of PHP200 was derived by computing the monthly depreciation of PHP400
(Annual Depreciation of PHP4,800/12 months) and multiplying the PHP400 by one-half since the
equipment was acquired in the middle of February.

Cash or Accounts Payable - 50,000
Teacher tip
There are other methods of depreciation,
but straight line is the simplest and easiest
to apply. Tell the learners that the other
depreciation methods will be discussed in
higher accounting subjects.

#2 Deferred Expenses or Prepaid Expenses. These are items that have been initially recorded as
assets but are expected to become expenses over time or through the operations of the business.
Exercise - Adjusting entries to record deferred expenses or prepaid expenses
Recall that on February 19, 2016 Matapang purchased PHP5,000 worth of office supplies on account.
By the end of the month, PHP2,000 worth of these supplies are still unused.
The February 19, 2016 entry to record the purchase on the account of office supplies was already
posted to the general ledger and included in the balances, as shown in the unadjusted trial balance
above. The entry was shown only for illustration purposes.
The “Supplies” account debited on February 29, 2016 above is an asset account and represents the
value of supplies unused as of the end of February 2016. If these journal entries are posted to the
general ledger, the following should be the balance of each account:
105
General Journal
To record the purchased of office supplies on account
2/29/16 Supplies 2,000
To set-up the value of unused supplies
Teacher tip
In higher accounting subjects, this approach
is referred to as the expense method of
recording, where the expense account is
initially used to record the transaction.
Supplies 2,000
Teacher tip
In higher accounting subjects, this approach
is referred to as the asset method of
recording, where the asset account is
initially used to record the transaction.

The alternative entries to record the above transactions are:
If these entries are posted in the general ledger, the following should be the balances of each account:
Notice that even with the different approaches in recording the transactions in the journal entries, the
balances in the general ledger will always be the same whether you used the first approach or the
second approach.
106
General Journal
2/19/16 Supplies 5,000
To record the purchased of office supplies
Supplies 3,000
To set up the value of unused supplies
Supplies 2,000

#3 Deferred Income or Unearned Income. These are items that have been initially recorded as
liabilities but are expected to become income over time or through the operations of the business.
Exercise – Adjusting entries to record deferred or unearned income
On February 15, 2016 Matapang entered into a contract with Makisig to maintain the computers of
Makisig for two months starting on February 15, 2016 up to April 15, 2016. On the same date, Makisig
paid the total contract amount of PHP40,000 in full. The entries to record and adjust the books are:
In the February 29, 2016 entry above, as of end of February 2016, Matapang has already earned the
service revenue for the first 15 days, thus an adjusting entry is recorded.
#4 Accrued Expenses or Accrued Liabilities. These are items of expenses that have been incurred
but have not been recorded and paid.
Exercise – Adjusting entries to record Accrued expenses or accrued liabilities
On February 29, 2016, Matapang received the electric bill for the month of February amounting to
PHP3,800. Matapang will pay this bill on March 2016.
The electric bill represents the cost of electricity used (or incurred) for February. Although the said bill is
still unpaid and thus was not recorded, the matching principle and accrual basis of accounting dictates
that the same should be recorded in February. Otherwise, your expense will be understated and thus
the company will be reporting an overstated income (or an erroneous income). Needless to say,
erroneous information may lead to wrong decisions.
The entry to record the accrual of this expense is:
107
General Journal
2/15/16 Cash 40,000
Unearned Service Revenue 40,000
To record receipt of full payment for the two-month
service contract with Makisig
2/29/16 Unearned Service Revenue 10,000
To record service income earned from Feb 15-29,
2016; P40,000 x (1/2 month /2 months)
Teacher tip
The “Unearned Service Revenue” account
was not included in the Chart of Accounts
illustrated in ABM1 Chapter 8 (Types of
Major Accounts). Additional account titles
maybe added to this chart if the need
arises. Unearned Service Revenue will fall
under the liabilities classification. For future
purposes, assign account code 2400 for
this.
Teacher tip
In this case, the teacher may emphasize the
value of generating accurate information for
the users of accounting information. The
wrong information may lead to wrong
decisions. Emphasize also that one of the
reasons for adjusting entries is to reflect the
correct information in the financial
statements.
In higher accounting this is commonly
referred to as the accrual process.

#5 Accrued Income or Accrued Assets
These are income items that have been earned but have not been recorded and paid by the customer.
In short, these are receivables of the business.
Exercise – Adjusting entries to record accrued income or accrued assets
On February 28, 2016, Matapang repaired the computer of Pedro for PHP15,000. Pedro was on an out-
of-town trip so he could not pay Matapang . He told Matapang that he will pay for their services on
March 1, 2016.
Matapang has already earned the PHP15,000 but was not paid as of the end of February 2016.
Therefore, an income should be properly recognized in February 2016 for this transaction. The entry to
record this is:
108
General Journal
2/29/16 Utilities Expense 3,800
Utilities Payable 3,800
To accrue the cost of electricity incurred for the
month of February.

Step 7 - Preparation of the Financial Statements.
Using the information from the worksheet, the financial statements are
prepared.
The following are the financial statements to be prepared:
1. Statement of Financial Position (SFP) - Also known as the balance sheet. This
statement includes the amounts of the company’s total assets, liabilities and
owner’s equity which in totality provides the financial position of the
company on a specific date.
2. Statement of Comprehensive Income (SCI) – Also known as the income
statement. Contains the results of the company’s operations for a specific
period of time. This can be prepared on a monthly, quarterly or yearly basis.
3. Statement of Changes in Equity (SCE) - This statement is prepared prior to
preparation of the Statement of Financial Position in order to obtain the
ending balance of the equity to be used in the SFP. All changes, whether
increases or decreases to the owner’s interest on the company during the
period, are reported here.
4. Cash Flow Statement - Provides an analysis of inflows and/or outflows of
cash from/to operating, investing and financing activities.
The income statement is prepared first so that net income can then be recorded
in the statement of changes in equity. The statement of changes in equity is then
prepared to determine the ending balance of equity or capital account. Once the
ending balance is determined, the statement of financial position is prepared. The
cash flow statement is prepared last. Based on the worksheet on the right, the
income statement of Matapang for February 2016 should appear as follows:

Total Expenses 11,000
NET INCOME 39,000

Step 8 - Journalize the Closing Journal Entries
The income, expense, withdrawal (equity) accounts are called temporary accounts or nominal accounts. They are called temporary because they
accumulate the transactions of only one accounting period. At the end of this accounting period, the changes in owner’s equity accumulated in
these temporary accounts are transferred into the owner’s capital account. This process serves two purposes: (1) to update the balance of the
owner’s capital; and (2) it returns the balance of the temporary accounts to zero, so that they are ready to measure the income, expenses and
drawings of the next accounting period again. The owner’s capital account and other statement of financial position accounts are referred to as
permanent or real accounts because their balances continue to exist beyond the current accounting period. Closing the books is the process of
transferring the balances of the temporary accounts to the owner’s permanent capital account.
The closing journal entries should consist of the following:
• All of the nominal revenue accounts should be closed to the income summary account by a Debit to revenue and a Credit to income
summary.
• All of the nominal expense accounts should be closed to the income summary by a Credit to expense and a Debit to income summary.
• The balance in the income summary account should now reflect the net income for the accounting period. The next journal entry should
close the income summary account to the equity or capital account. If there is a net profit this entry will be a Debit to income summary and
a Credit to owner’s capital account.
• Once the closing journal entries have been entered into the general journal, the information should be posted to the general ledger. When
this is accomplished, all of the nominal accounts in the general ledger should have zero balances. To double check on this, we should
prepare another trial balance based on the new balances in the general ledger. If we have any nominal accounts with positive balances, a
mistake was made along the way and will need to be corrected before proceeding to the next accounting period.
To illustrate:

General Journal
2/29/16 Service Revenue 50,000

After the above entries, the balance for these accounts are:
Notice that the ending balance of the Income Summary Account amounting to PHP39,000 credit represents the net income for the period of
Matapang. The balance of the Income Summary Account is then closed to the Capital Account by this entry:

Exercise 2 (Depreciation)
Compute the depreciation expense for the following independent cases. Use the straight line method of depreciation.
1. Pedro Reyes purchased a delivery vehicle on January 1, 2016 amounting to PHP250,000. It is estimated that the vehicle will be useful for 10
years. The vehicle can be sold for PHP10,000 at the end of its useful life. If the accounting period being reported by Pedro is one (1) year
from January – December 2016, how much is the depreciation expense?
Solution:
Annual Depreciation = (Acquisition Cost – Salvage or Residual Value) / Useful Life
Annual Depreciation = (250,000 -10,000) / 10
Answer = PHP24,000
2. Pedro Reyes purchased a delivery vehicle on April 1, 2016 amounting to PHP250,000. It is estimated that the vehicle will be useful for 10
years. The vehicle can be sold for PHP10,000 at the end of its useful life. If the accounting period being reported by Pedro is one (1) year
from January-December 2016, how much is the depreciation expense?
Solution:
Annual Depreciation = (250,000 -10,000) / 10
Annual Depreciation = PHP 24,000
Multiply the Annual Depreciation of PHP24,000 to the number of months in used/12, thus 24,000 x (9/12)
Where the ‘9’ represents the number of month from April to December.
Answer = PHP18,000
3. Pedro Reyes purchased a delivery vehicle on January 1, 2016 amounting to PHP250,000. It is estimated that the vehicle will be useful for 10
years. The vehicle can be sold for PHP10,000 at the end of its useful life. If the accounting period being reported by Pedro is one (1) month
(January 2016), how much is the depreciation expense for the month?
Solution:
Annual Depreciation = (250,000 -10,000) / 10 = P24,000
Answer = PHP24,000 / 12 = PHP2,000 for January 2016

Teacher tip
The accounting cycle for a service business
is the same with that of a merchandising
business.

MOTIVATION (5 MINS)
Ask the learners if they want to start a merchandising company. Engage them in a discussion related to
the merchandising business that they want. Ask the learners what are the possible activities or
transactions in a merchandising business set-up.
Possible answers:
• buying of stocks or items for resale
• payment of expenses related to operations
• purchase of equipment
• obtaining a loan to finance the business
• investment of owners
Ask the learners of any merchandising business in their community.
Possible answers:
• supermarkets
• pharmacies
• grocery stores

to the learners.
Teacher tip
types of businesses according to activities.

Ask the learners to give you examples of merchandising businesses in their communities. For examples:
• Mercury Drug
• Puregold
• ACE Hardware
• grocery stores
Merchandise (or merchandise inventory) refers to goods that are held for sale to customers in the
normal course of business. This includes goods held for resale. For example:
• Candies, canned goods, noodles sold at a grocery stores
• Juice, biscuits sold in a grocery store
• Medicines sold in a pharmacy
If a grocery store decided to sell an old computer used in the office, this would not be merchandise
because grocery stores do not normally sell computers and the store is simply selling off old office
equipment. But a computer would be merchandise for a computer store who resells computer units.
Merchandise for one firm may be a fixed asset (or property and equipment) for another.
In another example, a pharmacy decided to sell a table used in their display area. This table is not
merchandise of a pharmacy. However, to a retail furniture store a table is merchandise because the
business of a furniture store involves the buying and selling of tables.
A merchandiser’s primary source of revenue is sales revenue or sales.
Expenses for a merchandising company are divided into two categories:
1. Cost of goods sold (COGS) – the total cost of merchandise sold during the period; and
2. Operating expenses (OP) - expenses incurred in the process of earning sales revenue that are
deducted from gross profit in the income statement. Examples are sales salaries and insurance
expenses.
123
Teacher tip
The learners may think that merchandise
inventory is only used to refer to small
items. To a car dealer, a car is part of the
merchandise inventory.
Teacher tip
There are furniture stores who manufacture
their own products being sold. These
furniture stores are manufacturing
businesses and not merchandising
businesses. In the example given,
emphasize the word ‘retail’.

Gross profit (GP) is equal to Sales Revenue less the Cost of Goods Sold.
Income measurement process for a merchandiser follows as:
The Operating Cycles for a merchandiser:
Merchandising Company operating cycle (cash to cash) involves:
1. buy merchandise inventory
2. sell inventory
3. obtain Accounts Receivable
4. receive cash
JOURNALIZING THE TRANSACTIONS IN A MERCHANDISING BUSINESS
Prior to the discussion on the journal entries, recall the first step in the accounting cycle discussed in
previous chapters (specifically Chapter 10) on financial and non-financial transactions.
In step 1, transactions are identified and measured. At this stage, the documents used by the business
are analyzed to see whether these transactions have financial impact or effect. Recall the rule that only
financial transactions are recorded and that the amount can be measured. These two conditions must
exist in order for a particular transaction to be recognized or recorded. As defined, financial
transactions are those activities that change the value of an asset, liability or equity.
Step 2 is the Preparation of Journal Entries (Journalization)
A merchandising company may use special and general journals to record its transactions.
SPECIAL JOURNALS
Some businesses encounter voluminous quantities of similar and recurring transactions, which may create congestion if these transactions are
recorded repeatedly in a single day or monthly in the general journal. The use of special journals will eliminate this problem.
Sales - COGS = Gross Profit - Operating Exp. = Net Income (Loss)
124
Teacher tip
Recall the discussion on Chapter 9 (Books of
Accounts).

The following are the commonly used special journals:
1. Cash Receipts Journal –used to record all cash that had been received
2. Cash Disbursements Journal –used to record all transactions involving cash payments
3. Sales Journal (Sales on Account Journal) –used to record all sales on credit (on account)
4. Purchase Journal (Purchase on Account Journal) –used to record all purchases of inventory on credit (or on account)
INVENTORY SYSTEMS
Maintaining inventory items is a unique set-up in a merchandising business. There are two methods of accounting for inventory, namely:
Perpetual Inventory System and Periodic Inventory System.
Merchandising entities may use either of the following inventory systems:
1. Perpetual System — Detailed records of the cost of each item are maintained, and the cost of each item sold is determined from records
when the sale occurs. For example, a car dealership has separate inventory records for each vehicle.
• Record purchase of Inventory.
• Record revenue and record cost of goods sold when the item is sold.
• At the end of the period, no entry is needed except to adjust inventory for losses, etc.
2. Periodic System — Cost of goods sold is determined only at the end of an accounting period. This system involves:
• Record purchase of Inventory.
• Record revenue only when the item is sold.
• At the end of the period, you must compute cost of goods sold (COGS):
1. Determine the cost of goods on hand at the beginning of the accounting period (Beginning Inventory = BI),
2. Add it to the cost of goods purchased (COGP),
3. Subtract the cost of goods on hand at the end of the accounting period
4. (Ending Inventory = EI) illustrated as follows:
BI + COGP = Cost of goods available for sale - EI = COGS
125
Teacher tip
The perpetual inventory system will be
discussed in the “enrichment” portion of
this guide.

Additional Considerations:
• Perpetual systems have traditionally been used by companies that sell merchandise with high unit values such as automobiles, furniture, and
major home appliances. With the use of computers and scanners, many companies now use the perpetual inventory system.
• The perpetual inventory system is named because the accounting records continuously — perpetually —show the quantity and cost of the
inventory that should be on hand at any time. The periodic system only periodically updates the cost of inventory on hand.
• A perpetual inventory system provides better control over inventories than a periodic inventory, since the records always show the quantity
that should be on hand. Then, any shortages from the actual quantity and what the records show can be investigated immediately.
Note: The periodic inventory system will be used in all illustrations of this chapter while the perpetual system will be included in the
“enrichment” portion of this guide.
PERIODIC INVENTORY SYSTEM
Recording purchases and related transactions under the Periodic Inventory System
PURCHASES OF MERCHANDISE: PERIODIC SYSTEM
1. When merchandise is purchased for resale to customers, the account, Purchases, is debited for the cost of goods purchased.
2. Like sales, purchases may be made for cash or on account (credit).
3. The purchase is normally recorded by the purchaser when the goods are received from the seller.
• Each credit purchase should be supported by a purchase invoice.
• A purchase invoice received by the buyer is actually a sales invoice or a charge invoice prepared by the supplier or vendor.
• Note that only purchases of merchandise are debited to the ‘Purchase’ account. Acquisition (purchases) of other assets: supplies,
equipment, and similar items are debited to their respective accounts.
TO ILLUSTRATE:
Magaling Computer Store started its operations on January 2, 2016. The store is located in Sikat Mall in Bicol. The owner invested
PHP500,000 to start the business. On January 3, 2016, Magaling purchased 20 units of computers on account for PHP10,000 each. Upon
delivery of the units, the supplier, Delta, Inc., issued Charge Invoice No. 145 to Magaling.
126

Entry :
PURCHASE RETURNS AND ALLOWANCES
• A purchaser may find the merchandise received to be unsatisfactory because the goods are:
• damaged or defective
• of inferior quality
• not in accord with the purchaser’s specifications
• The purchaser initiates the request for a reduction of the balance due through the issuance of a debit memorandum. The debit
memorandum is a document issued by a buyer to inform a seller that the seller’s account has been debited because of unsatisfactory goods.
• A return of the merchandise (a deduction from the purchase price when unsatisfactory goods are kept) is shown by the entry where
Accounts Payable is debited and Purchase Returns and Allowances is credited to show that the purchaseswas reduced with a return or an
allowance.
• The Purchase Returns and Allowances account is a “contra purchases” account when merchandise is returned to a supplier.
TO ILLUSTRATE:
Out of the 20 computer units purchased last January 3, 2016, it was found after inspection on the same day that one unit was damaged during
shipment. Magaling issued a debit memorandum (DM 01) and informed the supplier that it will return the one damaged item.

Entry :
ACCOUNTING FOR FREIGHT COSTS
The sales agreement should indicate whether the seller or the buyer is to pay the cost of
transporting the goods to the buyer’s place of business. The two most common arrangements for
freight costs are FOB SHIPPING POINT AND FOB DESTINATION.
FOB Shipping Point:
• Goods placed free on board (FOB) the carrier by seller.
• Buyer pays freight costs.
• Freight-In is debited if buyer pays freight.
• Cash is credited if the goods come on cash on delivery (COD), for example, and was paid
immediately. Accounts Payable would be credited if on account.
• Ownership over the goods is transferred to the buyer once it is out of the premises of the
seller.
FOB Destination
• Goods placed free on board (FOB) at buyer’s business.
• Seller pays freight costs.
• Delivery Expense is debited if seller pays freight on outgoing merchandise to a buyer. This is an operating expense to the seller.
• Ownership over the goods is transferred to the buyer once the goods are delivered and received by the buyer.

TO ILLUSTRATE:
Assume the supplier of Magaling is based in Manila. In order to bring the 20 computer units to Bicol, it will cost PHP3,000 to deliver the goods.
If the terms is FOB Shipping Point, the entry to record, assuming Magaling paid the common carrier in cash on January 4, 2016 is :
Entry:
If the terms is FOB Destination, no entry is recorded in the books of Magaling. The PHP3,000 will be paid by the seller, in this case Delta, Inc.
PURCHASE DISCOUNTS:
• Credit terms (specify the amount of cash discount and time period during which a discount is offered) may permit the buyer to claim a cash
discount for the prompt payment of a balance due. If the credit terms show 2/10, n/30 means a 2% discount is given if paid within 10 days
(called the discount period); otherwise, the invoice is due in 30 days.
• The buyer calls this discount a purchase discount.
• A purchase discount is normally based on the invoice cost less returns and allowances, if any.
TO ILLUSTRATE
The credit terms for the purchase of 20 computer units (total cost PHP200,000) is 2/10, n/30. This means that if Magaling pays on or before
January 13, 2016, it is entitled to a 2% discount, otherwise Magaling will have to pay the full amount on or before February 4, 2016 (30 days
after purchase). On January 10, 2016, Magaling paid the account in full with Delta.

SALES TRANSACTIONS: REVENUE ENTRIES FOR A MERCHANDISER
• Revenues are reported when earned in accordance with the revenue recognition principle, and in a merchandising company, revenues are
earned when the goods are transferred from seller to buyer.
• All sales should be supported by a document such as a cash register tape (to provide evidence of cash sales) or cash receipt, or office
receipt for cash sales, and charge invoice for credit sales, or sales on account.
• One entry is made with each sale:
Debit — Accounts Receivable (if a credit sale) or Cash (if a cash sale) which increases assets for the sales amount
Credit — Sales which increases revenues
• The sales account is credited only for sales of goods held for resale. Sales of assets not held for resale (such as equipment, buildings, land,
etc.) are credited directly to the asset account.
TO ILLUSTRATE :
For the month of January, Magaling made the following sale:
1/10/2016 Official Receipt (OR) No. 001 Sold two units for cash to Marie Cruz for PHP36,000 (PHP18,000 per unit), FOB Destination
1/15/2016 Charge Invoice (ChI) No. 001 Sold five units on account to Rafael Reyes for PHP97,500 (PHP19,500 per unit) with terms 3/10, n/

FREIGHT TERMS: FOB DESTINATION — SELLER PAYS FREIGHT
• An entry is made when seller pays the freight to deliver goods to a customer or buyer. If the buyer
will pay for the freight, no entry is made.
• Debit — Delivery Expense and credit — Cash or Accounts Payable
TO ILLUSTRATE:
On January 10, 2016 Magaling paid MM Express, PHP500 to deliver the two units to Marie Cruz.
Take note that no entry will be made regarding the sale to Rafael Reyes since the term is FOB Shipping Point.

Teacher tip
When the learners ask why companies do
not avail of discounts, say that there are
times when companies do not have
sufficient cash to settle the liability.
Inform the students that sometimes it is
best to avail of the discount because this
will lower the cost and therefore increase
the profit of the business.

SALES RETURNS AND ALLOWANCES:
• Sales Returns result when customers are dissatisfied with merchandise and are allowed to return the goods to the seller for credit or a
refund.
• Sales Allowances result when customers are dissatisfied, and the seller allows a deduction from the selling price.
• To grant the return or allowance, the seller prepares a credit memorandum to inform the customer that a credit has been made to the
customer’s account receivable.
• Sales Returns and Allowances is a contra revenue account to the Sales account. A contra account is a reduction to a particular account.
• A contra account is used, instead of debiting sales, to disclose the amount of sales returns and allowances in the accounts.
• This information is important to management as excessive returns and allowances suggest inferior merchandise, inefficiencies in filling
orders, errors in billing customers, and mistakes in delivery or shipment of goods.
• The normal balance of Sales Returns and Allowances is a debit.
• One entry is made with each sales return and allowance:
The entry to record the sales return or allowance:
• Debit — Sales Return and Allowances which decreases revenues for the amount of the sale
• Credit — Accounts Receivable (if a credit sale) or Cash (if a cash sale) which decreases assets
TO ILLUSTRATE:
On January 16, 2016, Rafael Reyes returned one unit of the computers purchased last January 15, 2016 under Charge Invoice 001. The unit
returned was in good condition. However, Rafael Reyes returned the unit because it is one unit more than what they need. The return was
approved and accepted by Magaling. The price will be deducted from the account of Rafael Reyes.

SALES DISCOUNTS
1. A sales discount is the offer of a cash discount to encourage customers to pay the balance at an earlier date.
2. An example of a discount term is commonly expressed as: 2/10, n/30, which means that the customer is given 2% discount if payment is
made within 10 days. After 10 days there is no discount, and the balance is due in 30 days.
3. Sales Discounts is a contra revenue account with a normal debit balance.
TO ILLUSTRATE:
Assume that Magaling purchased on cash, five units of computers at PHP10,000 per unit from a supplier on January 17, 2016. These units
were subsequently sold to Jun Cruz on January 18, 2016 under Charge Invoice (ChI) No. 002 amounting to PHP90,000 (PHP18,000 per unit)
with terms 2/10, n/30, FOB Shipping Point. On January 23, 2016, Cruz paid the said account in full.
Notice in the entry on January 23, 2016 that the cash received from Jun Cruz was net of the 2% discount because he made the payment within
the discount period. Take note that the discount period in this case was from January 19, 2016 to January 28, 2016 (10 days).

Determining Cost of Goods Sold under Periodic Inventory System
The Cost of Goods Sold under the periodic inventory system is determined at the end of the period (monthly or yearly) by a short
computation, as follows:
In a periodic inventory system, separate ledger accounts are maintained for various items composing the cost of goods sold (Purchases,
Purchase Returns & Allowances, Freight-In, Purchase Discounts). At the end of the accounting period, a physical count of inventory is necessary
to establish the ending balance of the inventory.
Cost of goods sold:
Merchandise Inventory, Beginning 100,000
Purchases 250,000
Less: Purchases returns and allowances 5,000
Purchases discounts 2,000 7,000

Step 4 & 5– Prepare the unadjusted trial balance, and preparation of worksheet. The balances in the general ledger for each account will be
extended to the first two money columns of the worksheet. The unadjusted trial of Agila is:

Step 6 – Prepare adjusting entries. Recall in Chapter 11, the five basic sources of adjusting entries:
1. Depreciation expense
2. Deferred expenses or prepaid expenses
3. Deferred income or unearned Income
4. Accrued expenses or accrued liabilities
5. Accrued income or accrued assets
Identify transactions in the books of Agila that will require adjustments:
• Depreciation of transportation equipment purchased on January 2, 2016
Monthly Depreciation = (Cost – Salvage or Residual Value) / 120 months
= (150,000-0) / 120
= 1,250
Adjusting entry : Depreciation Expense 1,250
Accum. Deprn- Transpo Eqpt 1,250
• Deferred or Prepaid Expenses
In the cash disbursement journal, the rental payment made on January 2, 2016 is for the month of January and February 2016 amounting to
PHP10,000. The entire amount was charged to rental expense which is not proper because one half (1/2) of the said payment is considered as
an advance payment of rental. Thus, an asset should be recognized. The adjusting entry is:
Advertising Expense 4,800
823,312 823,312
143

Note: With this entry, the correct rental expense of PHP5,000 and a prepaid expense of PHP5,000 ( an asset account) are recognized.
• Accrued Expenses
On January 30, 2016, fuel expenses incurred amounting to PHP2,180 should be recorded as an expenses and liability. The entry to adjust is:
Fuel Expenses 2,180
Accrued Expenses 2,180

Step 7 - Preparation of Financial Statements. The first statement prepared is the income statement. All income statement accounts are
extended to the appropriate column. Using the periodic inventory system, the beginning balance of merchandise inventory account is also
extended to the debit side, while the result of the physical count to determine the ending inventory is reflected on the credit side. The total
debit and total credit are determined and if credit balance is higher than the debit side, the difference is added to the debit side. The
difference is actually the income for the period. However, if the total debit side exceeds the total credit side, the difference is added to the
credit side and this is the net loss of the business. The statement of financial position is then prepared. All assets, liabilities and equity
accounts are extended. The ending merchandise inventory is extended to the debit side.
The worksheet for these two financial statements are presented below:

Step 8 – Closing Entries. The closing journal entries consist of the following:
• All of the nominal revenue accounts should be closed to the income summary account by a Debit to revenue and credit to income summary.
• All of the nominal expense and cost of goods sold accounts should be closed to the income summary by a Credit to expense and a debit to
income summary.
148
Teacher tip
Remind the learners that the
Merchandise Inventory, Ending
is established by conducting a
physical count at the end of
the reporting date. In the
periodic inventory system,
physical count is a must.

• The Merchandise Inventory, Beginning is closed to Income summary account by a debit to Income Summary and a credit to Merchandise
Inventory.
• The Merchandise Inventory, Ending is set up in the books by a debit to Merchandise Inventory, Ending and a credit to Income Summary.
The amount that will be used is the result of the physical count.
• The balance in the income summary account should now reflect the net income for the accounting period. The next journal entry should
close the income summary account to the equity or capital account. If there is a net profit this entry will be a debit to income summary and a
credit to owner’s capital account.
Once the closing journal entries have been entered into the general journal, the information should be posted to the general ledger. When this
is accomplished, all of the nominal accounts in the general ledger should have zero balances. To double check on this, we prepare another trial
balance based on the new balances in the general ledger. If we have any nominal accounts with positive balances, a mistake was made along
the way and will need to be corrected before proceeding to the next accounting period.
The closing entries of Agila are:
GENERAL JOURNAL

1/30/16 Sales 83, 562
Purchases 459,750

Teacher tip
No closing entry was made for the
Merchandise Inventory, Beginning
because it was the first month of
operations and the inventory
beginning has zero value.

After these entries, the income summary account has a balance of:
Total Credits (82,152 + 438,700) = 520,852
Total Debit = 83,910
Net (credit balance) 36,942
The last closing entry is to close the balance of income summary to the capital account:
Depreciation Expense 1,250
Fuel Expense 2,180
To close nominal expense and cost of goods
sold account accounts

Teacher tip
The net credit balance of the
income summary is equal to the
net income as computed.
Inform the students that the net
income will result to an increase in
capital of the owner.

As mentioned above, there are two methods in accounting for inventory: the periodic inventory system
and perpetual inventory system.
PERPETUAL INVENTORY SYSTEM
Recording Purchases and related transactions under the Perpetual Inventory System
PURCHASES OF MERCHANDISE: PERPETUAL SYSTEM
• When merchandise is purchased for resale to customers, the account, Merchandise Inventory, is debited for the cost of goods purchased.
• Like sales, purchases may be made for cash or on account (credit).
• The purchase is normally recorded by the purchaser when the goods are received from the seller.
• Each credit purchase should be supported by a purchase invoice.
• A purchase invoice received by the buyer is actually a sales invoice or a charge invoice prepared by the supplier or vendor.
• Note that only purchases of merchandise are debited to Merchandise Inventory. Purchases of other assets: supplies, equipment, and
similar items) are debited to their respective accounts.
TO ILLUSTRATE: Magaling Computer Store started its operations on January 2, 2016. The store is located in Sikat Mall in Bicol. The owner
invested PHP500,000 to start the business. On January 3, 2016, Magaling purchased 20 computer units on account for PHP10,000 each. Upon
delivery of the units, the supplier Delta, Inc. issued a Charged Invoice No. 145 to Magaling.
Entry:
151
Teacher tip
To avoid confusion, discuss periodic and
perpetual separately. Afterwards, compare
these two systems.
Notice that all the examples used under the
perpetual method are the same with the
periodic method presented above.
GENERAL JOURNAL
1/3/16 Inventory (Merchandise Inventory) 200,000
To record purchase of 20 units of computers at PHP10,000 per unit
from Delta Inc., as per Charge Invoice 145

PURCHASE RETURNS AND ALLOWANCES
• A purchaser may be dissatisfied with merchandise received because the goods are:
• damaged or defective
• of inferior quality
• not in accordance with the purchaser’s specifications
• The purchaser initiates the request for a reduction of the balance due through the issuance of a debit memorandum. The debit
memorandum is a document issued by a buyer to inform a seller that the seller’s account has been debited because of unsatisfactory goods.
• A return of the merchandise (a deduction from the purchase price when unsatisfactory goods are kept) is shown by the entry where
Accounts Payable is debited and Merchandise Inventory is credited to show that the cost of the Merchandise Inventory is reduced with a
return or an allowance.
TO ILLUSTRATE:
Out of the 20 units of the computers purchased last January 3, 2016, it was found out after inspection on the same day that one unit was
damaged during shipment. Magaling issued a debit memorandum (DM 01) and informed the supplier that it will return the one damaged unit.
Entry :
ACCOUNTING FOR FREIGHT COSTS
The sales agreement should indicate whether the seller or the buyer is to pay the cost of transporting the goods to the buyer’s place of
business. The two most common arrangements for freight costs are FOB SHIPPING POINT AND FOB DESTINATION.
152
GENERAL JOURNAL
Inventory 10,000
To record return of 1 unit computer, PHP10,000 unit from Delta, Inc.
as per DM 01

FOB Shipping Point
Goods placed free on board (FOB) the carrier by seller.
• Buyer pays freight costs.
• Merchandise Inventory is debited if buyer pays freight.
• Cash is credited if the goods come on cash on delivery (COD), for example, and was paid immediately. Accounts Payable would be
credited if on account.
• Ownership over the goods is transferred to the buyer once it is out of the premises of the seller.
FOB Destination
• Goods placed free on board (FOB) at buyer’s business.
• Seller pays freight costs.
• Delivery Expense is debited if seller pays freight on outgoing merchandise to a buyer which is an operating expense to the seller.
• Ownership over the goods is transferred to the buyer once the goods are delivered and received by the buyer.
TO ILLUSTRATE:
Assuming the supplier of Magaling is based in Manila and in order to bring the 20 computer units to Bicol it will cost PHP3,000 to deliver the
goods.
1. If the terms is FOB Shipping Point, the entry to record, assuming Magaling paid in cash the common carrier on January 4, 2016 is :
Entry:

2. If the terms is FOB Destination, no entry is recorded in the books of Magaling. The PHP3,000 will be paid by the seller, in this case Delta,
Inc.
PURCHASE DISCOUNTS:
• Credit terms (specify the amount of cash discount and time period during which a discount is offered) may permit the buyer to claim a cash
discount for the prompt payment of a balance due. If the credit terms show 2/10, n/30 means a 2% is discount is given if paid within 10
days (called the discount period); otherwise the invoice is due in 30 days.
• The buyer records this discount as a reduction to Merchandise Inventory.
• A purchase discount is normally based on the invoice cost less returns and allowances, if any.
TO ILLUSTRATE
The credit terms for the purchased of 20 computer units (total cost PHP200, 000) is 2/10, n/30. This means that if Magaling pays on or before
January 13, 2016, it is entitled to a 2% discount. Otherwise, they will have to pay the full amount on or before February 4, 2016 (30 days after
purchase). On January 10, 2016, Magaling paid in full the account with Delta.
Entry:
Assuming that instead of paying on January 10, 2016, Magaling paid on February 4, 2016, thus forfeiting the 2% discount, the entry to record
is:

Recording of Sales and related transactions under the Perpetual Inventory System
SALES TRANSACTIONS: REVENUE ENTRIES FOR A MERCHANDISER
• Revenues are reported when earned in accordance with the revenue recognition principle; and in a merchandising company, revenues are
earned when the goods are transferred from seller to buyer.
• All sales should be supported by a document such as a cash register tape (provide evidence of cash sales) or cash receipt or office receipt
for cash sales, and charge invoice for credit sales or sales on account.
• Two entries are made with each sale:
• The first entry records the sale:
• Debit — Accounts Receivable (if a credit sale) or Cash (if a cash sale) which increases assets for the sales amount
• Credit — Sales which increases revenues
• The second entry records the cost of the merchandise sold:
• Debit — Cost of Goods Sold which increases expenses
• Credit — Merchandise Inventory which decreases assets
• The sales account is credited only for sales of good held for resale. Sales of assets not held for resale (such as equipment, buildings, land,
etc.) are credited directly to the asset account.
TO ILLUSTRATE :
Assume that no freight costs were incurred when the 20 computer units were purchased.

FREIGHT TERMS: FOB DESTINATION — SELLER PAYS FREIGHT
• An entry is made when seller pays the freight to deliver goods to a customer or buyer. If the buyer will pay for the freight, no entry is made.
• Debit — Delivery Expense and credit — Cash or Accounts Payable.
TO ILLUSTRATE:
On January 10, 2016 Magaling paid MM Express, PHP500 to deliver the two units to Marie Cruz.
Take note that no entry will be made as to the sale to Rafael Reyes since the term is FOB Shipping Point.
SALES RETURNS AND ALLOWANCES:
• Sales Returns result when customers are dissatisfied with merchandise and are allowed to return the goods to the seller for credit or a
refund.
• Sales Allowances result when customers are dissatisfied, and the seller allows a deduction from the selling price.
• To grant the return or allowance, the seller prepares a credit memorandum to inform the customer that a credit has been made to the
customer’s accounts receivable.
• Sales Returns and Allowances is a contra revenue account to the Sales account. A contra account is a reduction to a particular account.
• A contra account is used, instead of debiting sales, to disclose in the accounts the amount of sales returns and allowances.
• This information is important to management, as excessive returns and allowances suggest inferior merchandise, inefficiencies in filling
orders, errors in billing customers, and mistakes in delivery or shipment of goods.
• The normal balance of Sales Returns and Allowances is a debit.
• Two entries are made with each sale return and allowance:
• The first entry records the sales return or allowance:
157
GENERAL JOURNAL
1/10/16 Delivery Expense 500
Cash 500

• Debit —Sales Return and Allowances which decreases revenues for the amount of the sale
• Credit — Accounts Receivable (if a credit sale) or Cash (if a cash sale) which decreases assets
• The second entry records the increase in Merchandise Inventory:
• Debit — Merchandise Inventory which increases assets
• Credit — Cost of Goods Sold which decreases expenses
TO ILLUSTRATE:
On January 16, 2016, Rafael Reyes returned one unit of the computers purchased last January 15, 2016 under Charge Invoice 001. The unit
returned was in good condition. However, Rafael Reyes returned the unit because it is one unit more than what they need. The return was
approved and accepted by Magaling. The price will be deducted from the account of Rafael Reyes.
Entry:
SALES DISCOUNTS
1. A sales discount is the offer of a cash discount to a customer to encourage them to pay the balance at an earlier date.
2. An example of a discount term is commonly expressed as: 2/10, n/30, which means that the customer is given 2% discount if payment is
made within 10 days. After 10 days there is no discount, and the balance is due in 30 days.

TO ILLUSTRATE:
Assume Magaling purchased five units of computers on cash for PHP10,000 per unit from a supplier on January 17, 2016 that were
subsequently sold to Jun Cruz on January 18, 2016 under Charge Invoice (ChI) No. 002 amounting to PHP90,000 (PHP18,000 per unit) with
terms 2/10, n/30, FOB Shipping Point. On January 23, 2016, Cruz paid the said account in full.

Notice in the entry on January 23, 2016 that the cash received from Jun Cruz was net of the 2% discount because he made the payment within
the discount period. Take note that the discount period in this case is from January 19, 2016 to January 28, 2016 (10 days).
What If Jun Cruz paid the account on January 30, 2016 instead of January 23, 2016? The entry should be:
Determining Cost of Goods Sold under the Perpetual Inventory System
The Cost of Goods Sold under the perpetual inventory system is determined by getting the running balance in the general ledger of the
account. Recall the previous discussion on posting the journal entries to the general ledger. At any point in time, you can determine the
cumulative cost of goods sold under the perpetual inventory system because in this system a separate general ledger for “Cost of Goods Sold”
is maintained.
THE FLOW OF INVENTORY COSTS
Under the periodic inventory system, physical count is necessary to determine the ending balance of merchandise inventory. After the count,
the costs of these inventory items will be computed. There are instances that the unit prices for merchandise purchased are different. Consider
this scenario:
Geo San is in the business of buying and selling canned sardines. On January 2016, Geo had the following transactions:
1/1/16 Merchandise inventory on hand 1,000 cans @ PHP10/can PhP 10,000
1/10/16 Purchased 5,000 cans @ PHP11 /can 55,000
1/20/16 Purchased 4,000 cans @ PHP12/can 48,000
Total PhP 113,000
160
GENERAL JOURNAL
1/23/16 Cash 90,000
To record collection of accounts receivable from Jun Cruz.

During the month of January the total sales in units is 7,000. Therefore, the ending inventory in units is 3,000 cans of sardines
(1,000+5,000+4,000-7,000). The problem now is the unit cost that will be used to determine the value of the ending inventory. This is where
the cost flow assumption is needed.
The two most commonly used cost flow assumptions are:
• Average Cost
Using the above example, average unit cost is simply computed by dividing the total cost (PHP113,000) by total quantities (1,000+5,000+4,000)
11,000. Average unit cost is PHP11.30
The cost of merchandise inventory ending is 3,000 x PHP11.30 = PHP33,900
• First in, First Out (FIFO)
As the name implies, FIFO involves the assumption that goods sold are the first units that were purchased - that means the oldest goods on
hand. Thus, the remaining inventory is comprised of the most recent purchases.
Applying this to the problem above, the 7,000 units sold were taken from:
1,000 @ PHP10
5,000 @ PHP11
1,000 @ PHP12
———————-
7,000 units
Therefore, the ending inventory will come from the January 20 purchases: 3,000 @ PHP12 = PHP36,000
1. A company had the following transactions during December:
