Product Costs

- All costs that are involved in acquiring or making a product. In the case of manufactured goods,

Period Costs

- Costs that are matched with the revenue of a specific time period and charged to expense as incurred.

How to identify implicit transactions

- No transfer of resources - No invoices or other paper documentation - No specific event or activity that clearly triggers a journal entry, just the passing of time - Judgement regarding when to record and how much to record

what are the stages of inventory?

- Raw materials - work in process inventory or WIP (includes labor and overhead costs) - finished goods inventory

difference between Deferred Tax Liability with Taxes Payable

- Taxes Payable - taxes you actually owe based on what the government says you owe - deferred tax liability is much more complex

Explicit Transactions

- Transactions that involve some activity, event, or exchange of resources from one party to another. - are often accompanied by invoices or other paper documentation that initiates the recording of the transaction.

Allowance for Credit Losses

- contra account - used when credit providers need to adjust their journal entries to recognize potential credit risks

Record this transaction recognizing there is tax to pay

- credit taxes payable - debit income tax expense - debit differed income asset ( think its opposite for liability)

Journal entry for amortization

- debit amortization expense - credit accumulated amortization

journal entry to record impairment - good will

- debit impairment loss - credit goodwill

Record this transaction payment of tax

- debit taxes payable - credit cash

if certain receivables are deemed uncollectible for sure, how to write them off form the balance sheet

- decrease the receivables account value (credit) - decrease allowance account value (debit)

benefits of utting accumulated depreciation into a separate account

- easily see the original cost of the asset so you can compare it to the current or replacement cost at any point in time - quick feel for how old the assets of the business are

Long-Lived Assets

- expected to provide value to the business for periods in excess of one year - physical assets: buildings, vehicles, or machines - intangible assets: patents or goodwill - sometimes referred to as fixed assets

Last-In, First-Out (LIFO)

- inventory valuation method - current units sold are the newest units placed into inventory - Last In First Out - leaves the lower costs in the inventory account - recognizes the latest, higher costs as an expense in Cost of Goods Sold

First In First Out (FIFO)

- inventory valuation method - current units sold are the oldest units remaining in the inventory - First In First Out - leaves the higher costs in the inventory account - recognizes the older, lower costs as an expense in Cost of Goods Sold

Amortization

- method for recognizing the expense of long-lived intangible assets over the life of the assets - usually calculated similar to straight-line depreciation - used by some companies, or they might just reduce the value of the associated asset

Depreciation

- method for recognizing the expense of long-lived physical (tangible) assets over the life of the assets

Periodic Inventory System

- method of determining the ending value of inventory and cost of goods sold - transactions are not recorded on a regular basis - physical count of inventory is performed periodically - cost of goods sold = value of counted inventory - goods available for sale

perpetual inventory system

- method of inventory tracking - all inventory purchases and movements are recorded when they occur - transactions ntered into an inventory tracking system which is integrated with the accounting system - value of inventory can be reported by the system at any time - caveat some businesses still perform inventory counts even if they use this system

What are the 4 basic types of adjusting journal entries

- recognizing expenses related to a prepaid asset - Recognizing revenues related to deferred revenue (also called unearned revenue) - Accruing of unrecorded expenses - Accruing of unrecorded revenues

Journal entry for asset disposal

- remove asset from the books: credit the amount of the asset for the full amount - remove accumulated depreciation associated with the asset: debit the account - record transaction for when the asset was sold: i.e cash, debit this - to balance: record gain on sale (credit) or loss on sale (debit)

Common methods for depreciation

- straight lined depreciation - double declining balance depreciation - others

Gross Book Value

- the amount for which a business records the asset in its books - the original cost of asset before deducting accumulated depreciation

units of measure depreciation

- used on assets that have a more fixed output potential - proportionate to the number of products that it produced

Deferred Tax accounts

- whether they are liabilities or assets, always relate to subsequent years

how to get allowance ending balance

Allowance Beginning Balance + Bad Debt Expense − Write‐offs = Allowance Ending Balance

Apple decides to allocate $950 of the purchase price toward the phone itself, and $50 toward the software updates they will provide over the next year. Before the sale, the phone was in Apple's inventory valued at $500. Create a journal entry for the date of the sale, October 1, 2018.

Apple needs to first note the receipt of cash and the loss of inventory by debiting Cash for $1000 and crediting Inventory for $500. Then they need to record the revenue: debit Cost of Goods sold by $500, credit Revenue for $950, and then credit Deferred Revenue (the software updates) for $50.

___________ are recorded so that the financial statements accurately reflect what amount of taxes relates to the current accounting period income, and what amount of taxes relates to income in other periods

Deferred taxes

Adjusting (Journal) Entries

Entries made to adjust the balances of asset and liability accounts to reflect changes in their values due to the passage of time or another implicit transaction.

what is the IS GAAP and IFRS take on an assets value to increase after loss on impairment has been recognized? i.e. the assets been repaired

GAAP - does not alow the value to be written back up once it has been impaired IFRS - will allow the revaluation of certain assets

how to calculate allowance for credit losses

Gross Loans Receivables − Estimated Collectible Receivables = Allowance for Credit Losses

Suppose customers collectively owed MF $120.0 million on 12/31/2020. As reported on the balance sheet, MF only expected to collect $83.6 million on that date. What was the implied allowance for credit losses as of 12/31/2020?

Gross Loans Receivables − Estimated Collectible Receivables = Allowance for Credit Losses $120.0M − $83.6M = $36.4M

how to calculate the value the company expects to receive from credit customers (borrowers)

Gross Receivables − Allowance for Credit Losses = Estimated Collectible Receivables

double declining balance depreciation

recognizes more depreciation expense in the early years and less in the later years compared to straight-line depreciation.

straight-lined depreciation

recognizes the expense for the asset in equal portions over the time period that the business expects to use the asset
