...Questions: 2. State two generally accepted accounting principles that relate to adjusting the accounts. Matching Principle and Accrual basis Matching Principle - This accounting principle requires companies to use the accrual basis of accounting. The matching principle requires that expenses be matched with revenues. For example, sales commissions expense should be reported in the period when the sales were made (and not reported in the period when the commissions were paid). Wages to employees are reported as an expense in the week when the employees worked and not in the week when the employees are paid. If a company agrees to give its employees 1% of its 2008 revenues as a bonus on January 15, 2009, the company should report the bonus as an expense in 2008 and the amount unpaid at December 31, 2008 as a liability. (The expense is occurring as the sales are occurring.) Accrual basis - of accounting (as opposed to the cash basis of accounting), revenues are recognized as soon as a product has been sold or a service has been performed, regardless of when the money is actually received. Under this basic accounting principle, a company could earn and report $20,000 of revenue in its first month of operation but receive $0 in actual cash in that month. 3.

...Financial Statements The fundamental language of business is accounting which defines the flow of funds in clear terms so that it can be correctly understood and used for the good of the company. Accounting condenses information like funds paid or received by a business or a person and presents the information in reports and statements. Accounting that is to the point helps the business administration make precise decisions. Together with defining the four basic financial statements, I will explain how they are interrelated and why they are useful to all aspects of a business. Companies prepare four financial statements from the summarized accounting figures, each providing applicable financial information for in-house and external users. The first is an income statement which shows the revenues and expenses with the resulting net income or net loss of a company for a specified period of time. This statement lists revenues first, followed by expenses. This report does not include investment or dividend transactions between the stockholders and the business because it would be judged as a decrease in retained earnings which would decrease the stockholders’ equity. The income statement is sometimes referred to as a statement of operations, an earnings statement, or a profit and loss statement. The second financial statement is a retained earnings statement. This report summarizes the reasons why earnings increased or decreased during a specific period of time. The next...
