59 Ledger Questions And Answers

41⟩ Tell me should the Cash Discounts GL hit the Balance Sheet as per US accounting concept? If yes, then why and if No, then why?

I believe that cash discounts are taken into P&L and not to the B/S.

The journal would be :

Dr. Bank A/c 90

Dr. Cash Discount given A/c 10

Cr. S. Drs 100

So it is taken into P&L and adjusted in the Net profit itself..

Hence, you add the Net profit with your capital in B/S.

So, net effect is given there.

users cannot access the concurrent programs ( just like Forms) until unless the program is attached to a responsibility through a Request Group. Thus the responsibilities provide the complete security by restricting access to forms, reports, tables( through data-groups) and also to specific records ( through profile options like Set of Books Id, MO Org Id).

46⟩ Do you know what is an accrual?

Accrual basis of accounting means that the costs or revenues of events are recognized in the period in which they occur, though the cash flows may take place in another accounting period.

Like for a period of July 05 - October 05, if the organization was due to receive 1000K from an individual X but has not recieved yet for some reason, will recieve in November 05. It would be still be accounted for in the period July 05 - October 05 and not the period starting from November 05.

When company dispose there assets the following transaction takes place

Assets = Liabilities + Shareholders Equity

Suppose assets beginning balanceis $4900and accumulated depreciation is $1900

When you want sell, both of these should beeliminated from account book so asstes $4900 and accumulated depreciation debited by $1900,so both assetswill be clear.

54⟩ Explain why do companies need adjusting journal entries?

Current account balances may not represent correct balances due to following reasons:

a. Company made mistakes in preparing journal entries in the past.

b. Accounting records are not updated to reflect new transactions or amount changes in previous transactions.

Adjusting journal entries are usually prepared at the end of an accounting period to update account balances to reflect correct balances as of the balance sheet date (the date at the end of an accounting period).

The timing differences in recognizing revenues and expenses between accrual basis and cash basis accounting are frequently corrected by adjusting journal entries.
