Chapter 25 - Share based Compensation (Analysis of
Journal Entries)
1. Reference to page 904 of your textbook with the given accounting entry below, why was the
reversal of the accrued salaries payable credited to Gain on reversal of share appreciation right?
Can we alternatively credit Salaries expense here? Please cite the relevant or applicable accounting
principle(s) to support your answer.
Accrued salaries payable 600,000
Gain on reversal of share appreciation right 600,000
The reversal of the accrued salaries payable (liability account) was credited to gain on
reversal of share appreciation right (equity account) because of the absence of
appreciation. This is to conform to the need to cancel out the adjusting entries that were
made to accrue revenues and expenses from the previous accounting period. This is also in
correspondence to the matching principle and the recognition of accrued revenues in
accounting. We can not alternatively credit Salaries expense account here because this
would make an abnormal balance in the T account and violate the said principles.
