    Basic Accounting Principle

    Business Entity ConceptThe accountant keeps all of the business transactions of asole proprietorship separate from the business owner'spersonaltransactions. For legalpurposes, a soleproprietorship and its owner are considered to be oneentity, but for accounting purposes they are considered tobe two separate entities.

  • 8/8/2019 373976_634072670604526285

    10/81

    Money Measurment ConceptEconomic activity is measured in U.S. dollars,and only transactions that can be expressed inU.S. dollars are recorded.

    Because of this basic accounting principle, it isassumed that the dollar's purchasing power hasnot changed over time. As a result accountants

    ignore the effect of inflation on recordedamounts. For example, dollars from a 1960transaction are combined (or shown with) dollarsfrom a 2009 transaction.

  • 8/8/2019 373976_634072670604526285

    11/81

    The Cost ConceptThe widely used principle of accounting for assetsat their original cost to the current owner.

    Going ConcernAn assumption by accountants that a businesswill operate in the foreseeable future unlessspecific evidence suggests that this is not a

    reasonable assumption.

  • 8/8/2019 373976_634072670604526285

    12/81

    Materiality ConceptThe significance of an item should be considered when it isreported. An item is considered significant when it wouldaffect the decision of a reasonable individual.

    Consistency Concept

    It means that the company uses the same accounting

    principles or rules from year to year.

  • 8/8/2019 373976_634072670604526285

    13/81

    The Accrual ConceptBusinesses are required to record and reportrevenue at the time it is earned and realized by

    the business, not when the cash for the revenueis received by the business. This method isknown as accrual basis accounting. The purposeof this principle is to actually show what work hasbeen completed and not what is to be done in the

    future.

  • 8/8/2019 373976_634072670604526285

    14/81

    Time-period Conceptimplies that the economic activities of an enterprise can bedivided into artificial time periods and can be genarted ontime like yearly

    Conservatism ConceptAssets and revenue should be stated at their lowest valueson the other side liabilites and expenses should be stated attheir highest value.

    Cash Base AccountingTransactions are recorded when cash is receivedor paid out

  • 8/8/2019 373976_634072670604526285

    15/81

    Disclosure ConceptThe accounting records of a business must be disclosed so that judgment

    about the financial status of a business can be easily made. However, the

    disclosure of accounting and financial information should not cause the

    business to accrue unreasonable expenses or cause erroneous opinions.

    Matching ConceptThis principle allows for real time analysis of the expenses and revenues.

    Using this principle will show just how well the business has done financially

    and how effective it was. Somewhat like the Accrual Principle, expenses in

    this case can only be recorded and reported when revenue is to which such

    expenses are related was earned.

    Revenue Recognition ConceptRequires companies to record when revenue is realized or realizable and

    earned, not when cash is received. This way of accounting is called accrual

    basis accounting

    Double Entry System

    Accounting information is based on the double entry

    system.

    An accountis an arrangement of transactions affecting a

    given asset, liability or other element.

    The Accounting Equation

    Assets = Liabilities + Owners Equity

    It is relatively easy to understand the formula and how it

    works. The worth of a business's liabilities is the total

    amount of money or resources the business paid out in

    order to acquire its assets. The worth of a business's

    assets is the total amount of money or products in

    possession of the business owner. The accounting

    equation is represented: worth of assets -worth of

    liabilities = total equity. The equation must be in

    balance after every recorded transaction in the system.

  • 8/8/2019 373976_634072670604526285

    34/81

    For an example of the accounting equation let usconsider ABC Cellular Phones. Last month thefollowing transactions took place:

    the owner invested $3,000 into his business

    paid $500 for his bills for the month

    received $1,000 from customer for purchases.

    The equation would look like this:assets ($3,000 + $1,000) - liabilities ($500) = $3,500 totalequity.

    Depreciation Defination

    Depreciation is the allocation of the tangible plant

    asset to expense in the periods in which services are

    received from the asset.

    The basic purpose of depreciation is to achieve thematching principle. That is, to offset the revenue of an

    accounting period with the costs of the good and

    services being consumed in the effort to generate that

    revenue

    Causes of deprecation

    There are two main causes of depreciation

    Physical deteriorationPhysical deterioration of plant asset results from

    use, as well as from exposure to sun , wind , and other climaticfactors. When the plant asset is carefully maintained, it is not

    uncommon for the owner to claim that the asset as good as new

    . Such statement are not literally true . Although a good policy

    may greatly lengthen the useful life of the machine , every

    machine eventually reaches the point at which it must be

    discarded in brief the making of repair does not lessen the need

    for recognition of depreciation.

    ObsolescenceThe term obsolescence means the process of becoming

    out of date or obsolete. An aeroplane , for example , maybecome obsolete even though it is in excellent physical

    condition; it become obsolete because better plans of superiordesigns and performance have became available. The usefulnessof plant assets may also be reduced because the rapid growth ofa company renders such assets inadequate. Inadequacy of a plantasset may necessitate replacement with the larger unit eventhough the asset is in good physical condition. Obsolescence and

    inadequacy are often closely associated ; both relate to theopportunity for economical and efficient use of an asset ratherthen to its physical condition.

    Depreciation process

    Deprecation is a process of cost allocation , not a process of

    valuation. Accounting records do not attempt to show the

    current market values of plant assets .the market value of a

    building ,for example , may increase during some accounting

    periods with in the building useful life the recognition ofdeprecation expense continuous, how ever, without regard to

    such temporary increase in market value. Accountants recognize

    that the building will render useful services only for a limited no

    of years , and th

    at th

    e full cost of th

    e building sh

    ould besystematically allocated to expense during these years.

    Methods of computing depreciation

    There are several alternative methods of computing

    depreciation

    Straight line method

    The simplest and most widely used method ofcomputing depreciation is straight line method. Under

    this method equal portion of the assets cost is

    recognized as depreciation expense in each period of

    assets useful life.

    75/81

    Unit-of-output method

    For certain kind of assets the more equitable

    allocation of the cost can be obtain by dividing the cost

    by the estimated units of output rather then by theestimated years of the useful life

    Accelerated deprecation methods

    The term accelerated depreciation means recognition ofrelatively large amounts of depreciation early years of

    use and reduced amount in the later years.

    76/81

    Sum of years digits methods

    Another form of accelerated depreciation is the sum-

    of-the-years-digits methods, sometimes called SYD. In

    this method, the depreciation rate is stated as a fraction,which get smaller every year. These shrinking

    fractions determine the percentage of the assets

    depreciable account charged to depreciable expense

    every year.

    77/81

    Fixed-percentage-of-declining-balance method

    The most widely used form of accelerated depreciation

    is the fixed-percentage of-declining-balance method.

    The method involves computing and accelerateddepreciation rate which is a specified percentage of the

    straight-line depreciation rate. It is computed each year

    by applying this accelerated depreciation rate to the

    remaining book value
