2. The main purpose of the new accounts in the ledger is to provide essential information about
the progress of the business.
3. A ledger with only one equity account cannot answer the question, “How much profit or loss
was made during a financial period?”
4. In the expanded ledger, the procedure for preparing a trial balance does not change. You
still transfer the final balance of each account to the correct side of the trial balance and
total each column.
5. Three things an income statement does is to show a business’s revenue during a given time
period, its expenses during a given time period, and its profit or loss during a given time period.
6. The two equity accounts that are not included on the income statement are Capital
and Drawings.
7. The date on an income statement covers a period of time, such as a month or a year, while
the date on a balance sheet is for one day.
8. The “bottom line” is the net income or loss shown at the bottom of the income statement.
9. Revenue is an increase in equity resulting from the sale of goods or services.
10. An expense is a decrease in equity resulting from the costs of operating the business.
11. The purpose of an expense is to produce revenue or to help with revenue-making activities.
12. Net income is the difference between total revenues and total expenses when revenues are
more than expenses.
13. Owners are very interested in income statements because they use income statements to
determine the company’s profits, examine financial trends, set goals for the company, and
make business decisions.
14. Bankers are interested in seeing the income statement of a business that has a loan with
them to see whether the business is able to repay the loan.
15. Investors want to provide a business with cash because they can earn a profit on their money
if the business is successful.
19. This text uses a three-digit account numbering system. Assets are numbered in the 100s.
Liabilities are numbered in the 200s. Capital and Drawings are numbered in the 300s.
Revenues are numbered in the 400s. Expenses are numbered in the 500s.
20. An asset account normally has a debit balance. A liability account normally has a credit
balance. A Revenue account normally has a credit balance. An Expense account normally
has a debit balance. The Drawings account normally has a debit balance. The Capital
account normally has a credit balance.
21. The Capital account will normally contain the beginning equity figure and new investments
from the owner.

E. Sean should be encouraged by the income statement for July. It shows a net income of
$6001. That is 28.6% of revenue (6001 ÷ 21 000). With this healthy profit, Sean was able to
withdraw $4500 for personal living expenses (drawings), leaving $1501 of assets left over to
help grow the business.
2. You can be reasonably certain that revenue accounts will have a credit balance at the end of
the year because debits to a revenue account are rare. Once a sale amount is recorded in the
account, it usually remains there until year-end.
3. You might want to debit a revenue account when recording a sales return.
5. Before sending an invoice to a customer, the seller must fulfill its obligations to provide the
promised goods or services.
6. The IFRS allow a seller to record a sale without having delivered the goods so long as it is
probable that delivery will be made; the item is on hand, identified, and ready for delivery;
the buyer is aware of delayed delivery; and the usual payment terms apply.
7. When purchasing advertising on credit, equity decreases from the debit to the Advertising
Expense account even though no assets have left the business. This is due to the creditor
having an increased claim on the business’s assets. The owner’s claim on those assets has
less priority than the creditors’, so the owner’s claim must decrease.
8. Fiscal period is the period of time over which earnings are measured.
9. The student’s statement is accurate in the sense that expenses are expired costs—they have
no future value or role. They have “given up their lives.” Additionally, the mission of these
expired costs was to produce revenue or support revenue-making activities. When they are
subtracted from, or matched against, the revenues they produced or supported, net income
or loss is revealed.

4. You will find the beginning equity figure in the Capital account.
5. Changes to equity are recorded in the Revenue, Expense, and Drawings accounts.
Occasionally, changes will be entered directly in the Capital account, such as an
additional investment by the owner (debit Bank, credit Capital).
7. If Drawings are greater than net income, there will be an overall decrease in equity.
8. The statement is most often true. A net loss represents a decrease in equity from normal
business operations. Therefore, in most cases, equity would decrease with a net loss, even
if drawings are zero.
9. Equity could increase if there was a net loss if the owner invested additional funds in the
business.

At first glance, it appears that the business is not meeting Anna’s objective of a $2000 monthly
profit. Her claim on assets increased by $975 during the month after drawings of $600 and a net
income of $1575. The net income, however, was reduced by a loss on equipment of $750. If this
one-time, non-cash expense is ignored then the actual net income in October was $2375, a figure
that is slightly more than Anna’s goal.

B. The clerk violated the matching principle (GAAP and ASPE) or the framework of reliability
under IFRS. The wage advance should be accounted for in the month it is earned so it can
be matched with the revenue it helped generate.
D. The net income in December would be higher if the matching principle was not followed.

3. There are usually only one or two revenue accounts because, in most cases, a business’s
revenue comes from only one or two sources. There are many expense accounts because there
are many different types of costs incurred when running a business.
4. A banker would be interested in the net income or loss on the income statement, which
would show the profitability of the business. A banker would also be interested in the assets
and liabilities on the balance sheet, which shows how much debt is owned by the business
compared to the value of its assets. These things will show the banker if the business can
honour its debts to the bank.
5. A company has to produce an annual statement because the government requires all
businesses to file income tax statements every year.
6. To determine the equity amount from the ledger, you could subtract the total of the
liability accounts from the total of the asset account (Assets − Liabilities = Equity). Or you
could add the capital and revenue accounts and then subtract the drawings and expense
accounts (Capital + Revenues – Drawings – Expenses = Equity).
9. The Bank account could have a credit balance if a company withdraws more than the actual
bank balance. This is allowed if the company has overdraft protection. A credit balance in a
Bank account is an exceptional balance.
10. Businesses prefer to purchase on credit because it leaves them with cash for other expenses,
they can inspect the goods before paying, and they can withhold payment if the goods are
unsatisfactory or damaged.
12. No, you cannot be sure who has the better earnings because you do not know how long each
person took to earn the money. If John took longer to earn the money or it was the same
time period, then Gary clearly earned more. But if Gary took longer to earn the money, John
might have earned more.
13. To make a larger profit, the revenue must be greater or the expenses must be lower, or both.
Bonanza Burger could sell cheaper burgers than Giant Burger and make a larger profit
because they sell more burgers per week, resulting in greater revenue. Or Bonanza Burger
could have a better deal with their suppliers so they pay less for their ingredients, resulting
in a lower per burger cost, which means they earn more profit on each burger sold. Another
possibility is that Bonanza Burger pays less rent or lower wages, resulting in lower overall
expenses.

2. Tom could record the revenue when the installments are paid. This is better than waiting
until the end of August to record the full $10 000, but it is not ideal. For instance, by the end
of July, Tom will have completed 90% of the work but will have only recorded 60% of the
revenue ($6000 ÷ $10 000). A better method is to tie the revenue recognition to the percent-
age of work completed. For example, instead of recording $3000 in June, Tom would record
$4000 (40% × $10 000).
3. If Tom uses installment payments, he should recognize $3000 of the revenue in July. If he
uses percentage of work completed, he should recognize 50% of the revenue or $5000 in July.
Student preferences will vary. It could depend on when income or sales taxes are due.
If either are due in June or July, waiting until the end of August to record revenue might
provide a temporary benefit.
3. To say that reporting income for taxation is based on the honour system is true because the
CRA trusts that you are accurately reporting your income. However, the statement is abso-
lutely true because the CRA has the right to examine all your records and ask you to prove
your income if it becomes suspicious of your claim. The CRA helps maintain the honour sys-
tem by imposing heavy fines and penalties, as it did in the Sushi case.
4. If the restaurant staff are paid in unrecorded cash, they will not report the employment
income they receive, so the government loses their personal income tax as well as income tax
from the restaurant. Payroll plans, such as Employment Insurance and the Canada Pension
Plan, also lose contributions. In addition, the restaurant will not pay the sales tax owed to
the government on the unrecorded revenue.
5. To confirm that sales-zapping has occurred at the restaurant, you could check the ledger
accounts for food and beverage purchases, and for wages. If the company is selling more
meals than it records then there should be a discrepancy between the food purchased from
suppliers and the food sales. If they are paying their staff in cash, the Wages Expense
account should be much less than normal for that type of restaurant.
6. Answers will vary. Students should weigh the short-term benefits of the cash with the long-
term consequences of cheating the government, especially if accounting is their chosen career.
The best course of action would be to use your accounting knowledge to show your aunt and
uncle how paying income tax is a benefit to them and your family (free healthcare, free or
reduced daycare, free schooling, clean air and drinking water, good roads, and so on). Also
suggest ways to increase the restaurant revenues and reduce expenses so that a good profit
can be earned honestly.
