Document Summary

Adjustments are end of year journal entries to update account balances (only at the end of the year) Going-concern and periodicity dictate that nancial statements be prepared periodically. Faithful representation (accurate information) requires updating account balances. Ending supplies = beginning supplies + supplies purchases - supplies expense. A/r + credit sales - collection from customers. A/p + purchases on account - payments to suppliers. Depreciation is a direct application of the matching principle. That is depreciation is the expense used to match revenue generated from the use of long-term assets. Therefore depreciation is de ned as the systematic allocation of the assists cost over its useful life. Dep. expense = (cost - salvage vale)/ useful life. Accumulated depreciation is a contra asset account that is reported with a negative sign on the asset side of the balance sheet. Accursed expense (unrecorded expense) expenses incurred but not yet pair in cash or recorded until the end of period.
