Chapter 9 – Liabilities Blast from the past
BFTP9-1
You run a merchandising business and this is your second year of operations. A few of the transactions for the year are provided below. 1.
Your purchase 100 units of inventory for $10 each from a supplier, 2/10, n/30, FOB destination.
2.
You purchase a computer on account, n/45, for $1,500, plus HST.
3.
A customer has ordered a special product and provided a down payment of $500 cash.
4.
You borrow $20,000 from the bank at an interest rate of 3% for 2 years.
5.
Your accountant tells you that you owe Revenue Canada $6,000 of taxes on the income from the business. You have not paid any income taxes yet this year.
6.
You have decided that there is too much work for one person and you hire an employee at $12 per hour. They have worked for you for 37.5 hours this week and you need to determine how much to pay them.
Required:
Analyze the transactions using the critical and enhancing questions. What elements are affected and why? (See the example in Chapter 3 to remind yourself about how to analyze each transaction!)

What will you learn in this chapter?
If you answered BFTP9-1 you likely realized the topic of this chapter: liabilities. Assets on the balance sheet have been the focus of many of the previous chapters but understanding liabilities and their effect on business decisions is critical for the long term success of any business. This is because assets, such as the long-lived assets from Chapter 8, are often purchased on account (or for credit). This allows businesses to delay payment and better manage cash flows. Remember, if a business provides credit terms to their customers the cash inflow from sales is delayed. By also purchasing on account the business can delay outflows of cash. In addition, many businesses would not be able to expand without borrowing money from creditors and lenders (banks). Finally, as businesses expand they hire employees and that involves not just salary expense but other expenses that must be paid to the government on behalf of the employee. Overall, understanding and managing your liabilities is an important part of managing a business's cash flows.
What is the most frequently used liability account?
Accounts payable is a commonly used liability account. In Chapter 3 you recorded purchases
of office supplies and advertising material on account and in Chapter 5 you purchased inventory on account. Recall that Accounts Payable
is used when you purchase, from a supplier, either goods or services and you owe the supplier cash in the future, due to a past purchase. What about an example?
On May 1 your business, Educational Toys Inc., purchases 20 toys for $5 each, credit terms
n/30. On May 31 you pay the supplier the amount owning. Analyzing the May 1 transaction first, what did the business get? Toys, which are owned,
can be sold in the future for a higher price, and are due to a past purchase: an asset. You
record an increase in Inventory for the cost of the toys, $100 (20 * $5).
What did the business give away? An "I owe you" (IOU), a promise to pay your supplier cash in
the future: a liability. You record an increase in Accounts Payable, $100.
Analyzing the May 31 transaction next, what did the business get? You got back your IOU from the supplier, meaning that you do not owe anyone anything any more: Accounts Payable
decreases by $100.

Are accounts payable a current or a long term liability?
Recall from Chapter 4 that liabilities are divided into current and long term liabilities. Because accounts payable are generally paid within the upcoming 12 months (1 year) they are considered a current liability. They are always listed first under the heading "Current Liabilities" on the balance sheet.
Check your understanding (CYU9-1)
In June your business has the following transactions:
1. On June 1 you purchase supplies for $400, plus HST, using your credit card.
2. On June 12 you purchase inventory from a supplier for $8,350, credit terms 2/10, n/45.
3. On June 22 you pay the supplier for the purchase of inventory on June 12.
4. On June 30 you pay the balance on your credit card.
5. On June 30 a review of your supplies shows that you have only $250 of supplies remaining.
Record the above noted transactions into the expanded accounting equation using account names. You are required to provide the account names for this question. 4 | P a g e

What about the deferred revenue liability account?
Sometimes customers pay you in advance. An example would be a business that provides access to a gym (gym memberships) or a publishing business (magazine subscriptions). Many smaller businesses offer deals if a customer pays in advance, such as a dog walking service offering a cheaper price if you pay for 10 walks in advance. Advance payments from customers are NOT revenue because the business has not done their job YET but they WILL do their job in the future. Therefore, advance payments are considered liabilities because the business received cash but has provided nothing in return AS YET. Instead, the business will provide a good or a service at some point in the future. The account used for this type of
transaction is called Deferred revenue
: a good or service owed to a customer in the future which is due to the past receipt of cash from that customer.
What about an example?
On October 12 Educational Toys Inc. announces that 150 copies of a new book in the Harry Potter® series will be available for pre-order. To reserve a copy, customers must pay in advance and they are guaranteed to receive the book before December 15. Within hours all 150 copies have been pre-ordered for $35 each. On December 10 Educational Toys Inc. receives the books, purchasing them on account, n/30, for $15 each from the publisher. On December 11 the books are shipped to all 150 customers.

Toys pays the publisher in full. First let's analyze each of these business activities using the critical and enhancing questions and then record the results into the expanded accounting equation using account names.
On October 12 what did Educational Toys' get? Cash, which is an asset because it is owned, has future benefit for the business and is due to a past receipt from a customer. Cash increases by $5,250 ($35 * 150 customers).
What did Educational Toys give away? An "I owe you" (IOU) to the customers, an obligation to provide the book to customers on December 15. Deferred revenue increases by $5,250.
On December 10 Educational Toys Inc. receives the books, purchasing them on account, n/30, for $15 each from the publisher.
What did the business get? They received 150 books for $15 each so they record Inventory, increase $2,250 ($15 * 150 books). What did the business give away? An "I owe you" (IOU), an obligation to pay the supplier of the books in the future: Accounts Payable increases by $2,250.
On December 11 the books are shipped to all 150 customers. Remember, NO cash is received because the customers have already paid in advance.
What did the business get? They get back their IOUs from their customers (who they owed a
book to) because they have now provided the books to the customers so they don't owe them anything any more: Deferred revenue decreases by $5,250. What did the business give away? A product was delivered (the business did its job) so they have the right to claim revenue: Sales Revenue increases by $5,250. Is this the only transaction to record? No. Educational Toys sold a product (see Chapter 5!) so they have to record the inventory transaction.
What did the business give away? Inventory, so it no longer has future benefit for the business: Inventory decreases $2,250.
What did the business get? Not clear! Move on to the enhancing questions. What did they use, consume, or incur to generate revenue? They used inventory to help them generate revenue: Cost of Goods Sold increases (higher expenses) by $2,250.
On December 22 Educational Toys pays off their outstanding Accounts Payable. 7 | P a g e
What did the business get? The supplier returned the business's IOU so you no longer owe the supplier anything: Accounts payable decreases by $2,250.
What did the business give away? Cash, which has no further future benefit because it is gone: Cash decreases by $2,250.
All of these transactions should be recorded in the expanded accounting equation using account names.

Are deferred revenues current or long term liabilities?
Deferred revenues can be either current or long term: it depends on when the service or good is due to the customer. For instance, if a subscription to a magazine is for 3 years then
a portion would be current (the first 12 months of magazines) and the remainder would be long term (the next 2 years). However, generally
deferred revenues are considered current liabilities, meaning that the good or service will be provided to the customers within the upcoming 12 months.
Check your understanding (CYU9-2)
You run a dog walking service, Walk UR Dog. As a Christmas special you offer your customers a coupon book: 30 walks for $10 each, a total cost of $300. This is a $150 savings
on your usual charge of $15 per walk. Customers must pay in advance and they can collect one walk per day, weekdays only, any time over the next 6 months. You sell 8 coupon books on November 30 (a total of 240 walks), collecting cash from your customers. By December 31 you have provided a total of 80 walks to customers who have redeemed their coupons.

What happens if you borrow money from the bank?
As a business expands it often has to borrow money from creditors, called a loan. There are two concepts that must be understood about loans: principal and interest. The principal is the amount borrowed. Generally (although not always) it must be repaid on a specific date in the future. The date it is due (must be paid) is determined by the agreement with the creditor (such as a bank). Interest is the cost of borrowing money and it is similar to rent: you pay rent when you borrow space and you pay interest when you borrow cash. Interest is due AFTER you have used the cash for a period of time (for example, at the end of every month). The cost of borrowing, the interest rate, is again determined by the agreement with
the creditor. You never pay interest in advance.
When you borrow from a creditor there are two main types of loans: an operating line of credit and a traditional bank loan. An operating line of credit
is where the creditor sets a maximum loan amount and the business may borrow on the line of credit as needed
but only up to the maximum amount allowed. For instance, a creditor may provide the business with an operating line of credit to a maximum of $50,000. Say the business only needs, and borrows, $22,500. That means the business can still borrow an additional $27,500 ($50,000 -
$22,500) if it needs to, up to the maximum of $50,000. The business is REQUIRED to pay the interest when it is due but it does not need to pay back the principal at any specific date. Note that the business still owes the principal to the creditor and the creditor can REQUIRE them to repay it (so it is still a liability) but there is no specific date set to repay the amount borrowed. 9 | P a g e

Note that on an operating line of credit the creditor charges interest every day on the outstanding balance, whatever it happens to be. The interest rate is generally variable. What does that mean? It means that the interest rate changes when there are changes in the market interest rate. The rate may be 3.5% one day but, if the market interest rate changes, it may be 3.75% or 3.25% the next day. Variable interest rates are typically lower than a fixed interest rate (which stays the same for the period of the loan). This may sound attractive but there is risk involved because interest rates may increase or decrease at any time. Why would a creditor offer this type of loan to a business? Because businesses need cash to operate (run the business) and, by providing an operating line of credit, the creditor earns revenue in the form of interest. Creditors encourage their customers to use an operating line of credit: the business gets the cash it needs when it needs it and the creditors get the revenue (interest revenue) they need to be profitable.
A business may also take out a traditional bank loan
: a set amount of money with a due date (also called the maturity date) and an interest rate. The interest rate may be set for the
period of the loan (4.5% for 5 years) or variable (a 5 year loan where the interest rate changes as the market interest rate changes). As an example, assume the bank lends a business $80,000 for 9 months at 3% interest. The business will receive the full $80,000 immediately and be required to pay 3% interest on a monthly basis. At the end of every month the business would pay the bank $200 ($80,000 * 3% / 12 months). At the end of the 9 months the business must repay the principal amount: $80,000 is paid to the bank.
VERY IMPORTANT – the 3% rate is ALWAYS an ANNUAL rate. Did you notice that the 3% was
divided by 12 months? You always have to do this. The borrower does not pay 3% of $80,000 (i.e. $2,400) each and every month. $2,400 is the total interest paid in a year. 1/12 of that is paid each month. Also, the term, or length, of the loan, does not factor into this calculation. Regardless of which type of loan a business has, there is a promise to pay the bank the amount owed at some point in the future PLUS pay interest at the date specified by the creditor. When you borrow from the bank you must record a liability because you owe cash to the bank at some date in the future. You would use the account called Notes Payable
. This can also be Loan Payable or Bank Loan Payable
. Any of these terms are acceptable. Also, the Loan (or Notes, or Bank Loan) Payable account is for the principal amount only. If any interest is owing but not yet paid, use a separate liability account called Interest Payable.
10 | P a g e
What is the difference between Accounts Payable and Notes Payable? Both are liabilities, an obligation to pay cash in the future. However, an account payable
is an implicit (implied, unspoken, understood) agreement between a business and a supplier, so there is no signed contract. The only document backing up the transaction is the supplier’s invoice. In addition, unless you are overdue (you have not paid your supplier within the credit terms), no interest is charged on outstanding Accounts Payable amounts. Notes Payable (Loan Payable, Bank Loan Payable)
is more formal; it involves a signed agreement (contract) between two parties (the business, who is the borrower, and the bank,
who is the lender) with an interest rate (fixed or variable). If the loan is a traditional bank loan there will also be a set maturity date (when the amount must be paid back). Recall that there are two important amounts with regards to a loan: the principal and the interest. The principal
is the amount borrowed from the lender (bank). The interest
is the charge the borrower pays for the right to use someone else's (the creditor's) money. When interest is owed, it must be paid, but not until the date set by the agreement between
the borrower and the lender. That means you get to USE the principal for a while WITHOUT paying interest. You would pay it only when it is DUE. For example, say you borrow the principal on June 12 and your interest payments are due every month thereafter
(you never pay interest in advance of using the money, only AFTER you have used it). That means that your FIRST interest payment will be on July 12, AFTER you have USED the money for 30 days!
When you pay the interest the following accounts would be affected: Cash, decrease, and Interest Expense, increase (which would decrease Profit, decrease Retained Earnings, and decrease Equity). You have to record Interest Expense because you have incurred a cost to help you generate revenue.
What about at year end, when you publish your financial statements. Assume your year end is December 31. Do you have to record anything? First, consider when you last paid (December 12). Note that you have USED the borrowed cash from the December 12 (last time you paid interest) to December 31 BUT you have not, as yet, paid for that use. In that case the interest must be accrued. Accrued
means to gather together, so interest that is owed is "gathered" (calculated) and recorded as a liability when it is owed but not yet required to be paid. The account you would use is Interest Payable
: the amount owed in the future which is due to a past transaction (using the cash but not paying for that use as yet). Interest is generally due monthly although it depends on the arrangements made with the lender.
11 | P a g e
TESTING TIP:
Interest rates provided are ALWAYS annual interest rates, regardless of how long the loan is outstanding. For instance, assume you borrow $10,000 for 6 months at 3% interest. That interest rate, the 3%, is an annual interest rate
(3% over 12 months). Students often make the mistake of thinking that, because the loan is outstanding for less than a year, the interest rate given must be for ONLY the months outstanding (3% over 6 months). THIS IS INCORRECT
. Every interest rate you ever see is an annual interest rate, unless you are advised otherwise. In order to change the annual interest rate into a monthly interest rate you must ALWAYS divide by 12 (3% / 12 months = the monthly interest rate).
What about an example? On May 1 Educational Toys Inc. borrowed $20,000 from the bank at 3% interest. The loan has to be repaid in 5 years (so this is a traditional bank loan). Interest must be repaid on the
first day of every month. What did the business get? Cash, which is owned, can be used in the future to help the
business, and it is due to a past transaction: asset. You record an increase in Cash, $20,000.
What did the business give away? An "I owe you" (IOU), a promise to pay the bank cash in the future: liability. As noted above, the account you would use to record this liability is either Notes Payable or Bank Loan Payable (also Loan Payable). Record the business activity into the expanded accounting equation using account names.

Is a loan payable considered a current or long term liability?
That depends on when the loan is due to be paid: within 1 year or longer? If a loan is due to be paid within the upcoming 12 months then it would be considered a current liability. However, if the loan is due beyond the upcoming year, it is recorded as a long term liability. For Educational Toys Inc. the loan would be reported as a Long Term Liability on the Balance
Sheet because it is due in 5 years.
But what about the interest on the loan?
Interest is often difficult to understand so let's again use an analogy (an example that is similar, used to demonstrate an idea or concept) of rent.
When you rent an apartment you are borrowing a space that belongs to someone else. In return for the use
of that space you pay rent. Similarly, when you borrow money from a lender (like a bank) you have to pay interest in return for the use
of the bank’s cash. Interest
on a loan is similar to rent for an apartment - both involve the borrowing of something that does not belong to you and the payment of cash for the use
of what was borrowed. What is the only difference between rent and interest? You pay rent at the beginning of the month for the space you will rent for the upcoming month - you pay in advance. Interest on a loan is only paid AFTER you have had the use of the money for a period of time.
For instance, when you borrowed money from the bank on May 1 you would not pay any interest until June 1. The interest you pay on June 1 is for using the money for the PAST month, from May 1 to June 1! Interest is a factor of time and you only owe it AFTER you have had the use of the money.
How does interest affect the business's accounting records?
It is easier to understand using an example. Say a business has borrowed cash from the bank
on May 1 (Like Educational Toys Inc. did) and their year-end is December 31. They will have to pay interest on June 1, July 1, August 1, September 1, October 1, November 1, and December 1. Each time they pay interest they are paying for the USE of the cash for the PRIOR month. That means that, on June 1, when they pay, they are paying for the USE of the
cash for the month of MAY. On every one of the dates given above the business will record the payment in the expanded accounting equation: Cash decreases and Interest Expense increases. Remember that Interest Expense
is an expense account that is used to record the
interest charges that the business has incurred to help generate revenue. It therefore 13 | P a g e
belongs in the element expense. The business is now at December 31, their year-end. At that time they would have to produce financial statements and those statements must be free of error (faithful). The business last paid interest on December 1. When they paid on December 1 they were paying
for the use
of the money during the month of November. That means that, on December 31,
they have had the use of the money for the whole month of December but they have not, as yet, paid any interest for that use. They therefore have to accrue the interest owed but not, as yet, paid. 14 | P a g e
Let's see that on a timeline, just to be clear.
If you produce financial statements on December 31 you must record a liability for the interest that you owe the bank on December 31 (which you will pay on January 1). You would use the account called Interest Payable; a liability account which recognizes the interest that is owed to the bank in the future, in this case on January 1 of the next year. What about the other side of the transaction? You have had the USE of the money for the month of December, a cost which will help you to generate revenue. What element is defined as USED? Expense: you would record an Interest Expense
. Would interest payable only be recorded at the end of the year?
No. Businesses would have to record the Interest Payable and Interest Expense at the end of EVERY month if they were producing their financial statements on a monthly basis. Why? Because, at the end of every month, they OWE the interest (due in the future) for the USE of the money. The concept demonstrated above happens at the end of every single month.
What about an example?
Continuing with our example of Educational Toys Inc., recall that on May 1 they borrowed $20,000 from the bank at a 3% interest rate, maturing (due to be paid back) in 5 years. Interest is paid on the first day of every month. Assume that the current date is May 31. When was the last time the business paid interest? NEVER because they took out the loan on May 1! They OWE interest, which they will pay on June 1. But what about May 31, today's date? On May 31 the business has had the use of the cash for the month of May but they have not, as yet, paid it. They therefore have to accrue (gather together) that amount and record the interest owed. Let's analyze the transaction.
What did the business get? The USE of cash for the month, which is an expense as you used

the money to help you generate revenue. You record an increase in the Interest Expense
account.
What did the business give away? An "I owe you" (IOU), a promise to pay the bank cash in the future (June 1 actually), which meets the definition of a liability. As noted above, the account you would use to record this liability is Interest Payable
.
How do you calculate interest? The formula to calculate interest is as follows:
Principal Amount
*
Interest Rate
*
Period Outstanding
12 months
Remember that the principal
is the amount of cash borrowed. The interest rate
is the annual interest rate. Interest rates are always annual interest rates and must be divided by 12 months to change it into a monthly rate. The "Period Outstanding" is the number of months since the last time interest was paid.
Usually this is 1 month but, depending on the terms of the loan agreement, this may be every 3 months or 6 months or not until the loan matures. Therefore, on May 31, Educational Toys Inc. would calculate their interest due as follows:
$20,000
*
3%
*
1 month
12 months
The amount of the interest that Educational Toys Inc. owes on May 31 is $50, based on the formula given above. They will pay that amount on June 1. Why does the company have to record the interest payable on May 31 if they will pay it on June 1, the very next day? Because the external stakeholders want to know all the liabilities that a business has so they can make an informed decision. In addition, as a business owner, you would want to know what is owed by the business since that amount must be paid in a short period of time. By knowing what is due in the future you can make better decisions about the cash flowing in and out of the business.

What happens at the beginning of the next month?
On June 1 Educational Toys must pay the bank for the interest owed. When interest is paid to the bank the liability, Interest Payable, decreases because the business no longer has an obligation to repay the bank: Interest Payable decreases $50. What did you give away? You gave away cash to pay the interest, so your Cash account decreases $50. Let's add this last transaction to the chart.

You can see that, at the end of every month, a business would have to accrue (accumulate or gather together) the interest that is owed on the first day of the following month.
Is interest payable a current or long term liability?
Interest payable is considered a current liability because it will be paid off within the upcoming 12 months.
Check your understanding (CYU9-3)
You own a pet supply business, supplying retail stores in and around Toronto. You plan to expand and, in order to do so, you require a computer system that will scan the bar codes of all products coming in and shipped out. You borrow $36,000 from the bank on October 1 at an interest rate of 5%. The loan is due in 3 years and you pay interest on the 1st day of every month. Using that borrowed cash you purchase the computer system, including scanners, for $35,000, on October 1. The equipment is estimated to last 10 years with no residual value. Since you don't produce financial statements until the end of the year you do not accrue interest until year end. Your year end is December 31.
Provide all the entries, from October 1, required for the loan, including those required on December 31, your year end. (Hint: blast from the past...remember to make the entry for 18 | P a g e

What other liabilities should a business know about?
Income Taxes Payable
is another common liability account. It represents the amount of income tax that is owed to the government at a future date. The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) charges businesses income tax based on the profit they earn. This is very similar to individuals paying income tax on the amount of they earn in salary or wages. The CRA charges income tax at different rates depending on how high the business's profit (before income tax) is expected to be for the year. This is again similar to individuals paying income tax at rates which are based on how high their total salary for the year is.
As an example, say that Educational Toys Inc. has profit before income taxes of $16,880 at the end of the year. The business expects to pay 25% in income taxes but they have not, as yet, paid the CRA. Educational Toys has incurred a cost of doing business because the government will require them to pay their income taxes in the future. Do they owe
the government at this time, when they have earned $16,880? Yes they do. As soon as they have profit, even if it's only $1, they owe 25% of that amount to the CRA in income taxes. When the business earns profit they have to record the cost of earning that profit and one of those costs is the income taxes they will have to pay in the future. Therefore, at the end of every month, if the business has earned ANY profit, they will accrue (gather together) the
income taxes they will pay to the CRA in the future.
What about an example?
Educational Toys has profit (revenue less expenses) of $16,880 for the year ended December 31. Its tax rate is 25%. On June 28 Educational Toys pays the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) the income taxes owed on the business's prior year's profit. (Incorporated companies in Canada have to file their tax returns and pay their taxes six months after their year-ends. Many companies pay taxes in monthly or quarterly installments.)
At December 31 Educational Toys owes taxes and they must accrue them. Income Taxes Payable increases $4,220 ($16,880 * 25%). In addition, they must record Income Tax Expense,
which is the income tax incurred to help generate revenue. Income Tax Expense increases by $4,220.
Fast forward to June 28. At that date Educational Toys pays the CRA for the income taxes owed. What did it give up? It gave up cash so Cash decreases by $4,220. What did it get? It got back their IOU from the government because it has now paid off the obligation to pay income taxes in the future: Interest Payable decreases $4,220. 21 | P a g e

You can see that, at the end of every month, a business would have to accrue (accumulate or gather together) the income taxes that are owed and will be paid at some point in the future. In the new period (month or year) the business has to record the payment of the tax that was recorded as owed in the past.
Is income taxes payable a current or long term liability?
Income taxes payable is considered a current liability. This means that the taxes will be paid
to the CRA within the upcoming 12 months.
Check your understanding (CYU9-4)
Pets4U is a pet supply company. On November 30 they had revenues of $65,400 and operating expenses of $54,000 for the month of November. They are charged a 25% tax rate. They accrue their income taxes at the end of every month and pay them on the 12
th
of
the following month (December 12 in this case). Record the income tax entries for Pets4U for November 30 and December 12.

What about liabilities such as salaries payable?
As noted in BFTP9-1, many businesses hire employees once the business begins to grow. For
large businesses, particularly those providing services, salaries are the largest expense on the
income statement. Accounting for that cost is important for business owners to understand.
Even though many small businesses start out with only one employee (YOU, the owner), if a business wants to expand its operations it will, eventually, have to hire more people. Note that the process of hiring an employee is an event and not a transaction. Say you hire a new employee on Wednesday, November 2. The employee will start working the following Monday, November 7. On Wednesday, November 2, nothing is measurable as the employee
hasn't done any work yet. (What did you get? Nothing! What did you give away? Nothing!) Once employees begin to work for the business you are USING their services (remember, use
means expenses). At that time entries have to be recorded because you have used
the services of your employees AND you owe your employees for that service. It is a transaction because it is both measurable and realized (happened in the past). Employees work for you with the understanding that they will be paid in the future for the services they are providing to your business. You might pay your employees weekly, bi-
weekly (every 2 weeks), monthly (on the last day of every month) or bi-monthly (on the 15th
and the last day of every month). Employees may be paid wages
, which means that the employees are paid only for the hours they work. When employees are paid wages there is a delay between when they work and when they are paid. That's because the employer (you!)

has to calculate how many hours the employee has worked. A calendar might help you understand this better.
Say that you hire an assistant and he works 7.5 hours a day from November 7 to November 11 (Monday to Friday). He is paid weekly, every Friday. When would his first payday be? Would it be on November 11, after he works his first week? The answer is no. His first payday would be Friday, November 18. That's because the total hours he worked from November 7 to November 11 are not known on November 11. There is a delay of one week between the time he works and the date he is paid. This is always the
case when employees work, and are paid, only for the hours they work.

What about when employees are paid salary
? When an employee is a salaried employee it means that they have a yearly salary (amount) which is divided over the year. An example might help here too.
Say that you hire an assistant. She will work Monday to Friday, 7.5 hours a day, for the year. You offer her a salary of $31,200 per year. How much is she paid every week? $31,200 / 52 weeks = $600 per week. Assume that your assistant starts on November 7 and will be paid weekly. When is her first payday? November 18, similar to an employee who earns wages based on the hours they work?
The answer is no. Their first payday would be on November 11. Sunday

Notice that she is paid ON the Friday FOR the Friday - the same day that she works, she is being paid. That is because the assistant is a salaried employee and she earns $120 a day ($600 / 5 days). There is no question about how many hours she worked since she is not paid by the hour. Instead, she gets the same amount every single day (although she is required to work the 7.5 hours to earn it!) She can therefore be paid on the Friday FOR Friday's work since she is expected to work that day for 7.5 hours anyway.
How are employees paid?
Many business owners who have never hired an employee think that it is a simple transaction: employees work for you and you pay them a salary (or wages) for that work. However, as an employer, you have a responsibility to withhold various taxes from the employee's salary on behalf of the government. That means you are an agent of the government and you must pay those amounts to the government on a monthly basis. In addition, as an employer, you must help to pay for the future welfare of your employees. This is an additional expense over and above what you pay your employees in salary.
Employees are definitely needed to grow your business but the cost of employees is a far more complex concept than most business owners realize. What about an example?
Assume you hire an employee to work for you. You pay him $12 per hour (wages) and he works 37.5 hours during the week.
What will you pay him for that 1st week of work?
37.5 hours * $12 / hour = $450

The amount, $450, is called the employee’s gross pay: the total amount the employee EARNED by working for the business. However, that is not the amount the employee will be paid. Why not? Because there are amounts that you, the employer, "withhold at source". You, the employer, withhold it (take it) from the employee’s earnings before you pay him. Businesses are required by the government to withhold (hold back, not pay) these amounts and to pay (remit) them to the government.
Why does the government require employees to pay part of their salary to them? Everyone in Canada is required to pay for the services that the government provides (such as health care, national defence and security, and taking care of the highways between cities). Everyone also has to pay into the pension plan that will, eventually, pay them an income when they retire. Finally, everyone has to pay into a safety fund: if you lose your job you can apply to that safety fund to get support while you look for another job (Employment Insurance). If you are taking this course at a university or college the amounts you pay out of your salary to the government are helping to pay for your education (income taxes that are deducted from your pay cheque are used to fund universities and colleges!) What amounts are withheld at source?
The three statutory (that is, legally required) amounts are: Canada Pension Plan (CPP), employment insurance (EI) and Employee Income Taxes (EIT). Let’s look at each individually.
The Canada Pension Plan (CPP)
is a retirement savings plan that is managed and controlled by the government. Everyone who works pays into this pension plan and, in return, when you retire, you will get an income from the pension plan. For instance, if you retire at 65, AND you have worked full time for 35 years, you will receive a payment from the government every single month, up to a maximum amount which is indexed to inflation. You pay into the CPP plan your whole working life and, when you reach 65, you get to collect
your pension.
Employment insurance (EI)
is also deducted from an employee’s salary. Employment insurance benefits are paid to individuals who lose their jobs. If someone become unemployed and they can't find another job they can apply for employment insurance benefits and receive financial help (money) while they look for work or receive training. Benefits under employment insurance can last between 14 and 45 weeks, depending on the circumstances. The amount individuals can receive depends on their earnings before they 26 | P a g e

lost their jobs. Individuals benefit from employment insurance only if they need it. Many individuals pay into EI their whole lives but never apply for employment insurance benefits.
Employee Income taxes (EIT)
are the income taxes everyone pays on their personal income. The income taxes paid benefit everyone in Canada as these amounts support services such as health care, public libraries, and universities, to name just a few. The government requires employers to withhold a portion of the employee's salary for income taxes based on
what they estimate the employee will earn over the year. Rather than waiting till the end of the year to collect income taxes, the government requires everyone who earns a salary (or wages) to pay income taxes out of every pay cheque. At the end of the year everyone files an income tax return so the government can check that you paid enough. If you paid too much you get a refund.
To summarize: when employees work for an employer they earn their salary (or wages), called the gross pay
. Employers don’t pay the gross amount to employees. Instead, employers withhold CPP, EI, and EIT amounts from the employees’ pay cheques. The employees earn the gross amount, the employer holds back the amounts "withheld at source," and the employees are paid the difference, called net pay
.
What happens to the amounts that the employer withholds at source?
The employer has to pay those amounts to the government! Yes, like HST that a business collects and then pays to the government, the amounts an employer withholds at source has
to paid to the government, by the 15
th
of the following month.
What about an example?
Say an employer has to pay their employee $100 salary (gross pay) on May 12. CPP is $3, EI is $2.00, and EIT is $5. What does the employee get? The net pay
, $90 (100 – 3 – 2– 5). But what about the amounts withheld at source, the $10 (3 + 2 + 5)? The business has to remit (pay) this amount to the government, on a monthly basis. After it is collected from employees but before it is paid to the government, the amounts withheld at source are OWED to the government. You therefore have to record payables: CPP Payable, EI Payable and
EIT Payable
. These amounts, between the time they are withheld and the time they are paid to the government, are liabilities. Let’s record the payment of the salary to the employee in the expanded accounting equation, using account names.

To summarize: employees EARN their gross pay
but the amount they get to take home, after all deductions, is a smaller amount called the net pay.

What about a more realistic example?
Say you run your own business and you hire Joe Bleaue to work for you. Joe has worked 37.5 hours this week and he earns $12 per hour. Joe works Monday to Friday, May 2 - May 6. Since Joe is paid wages you pay him on Friday, May 13 (one week delay).
What is Joe's gross pay
? $12 * 37.5 hours = $450
What is Joe's net pay
? You, as Joe's employer, will have to withhold the following amounts: CPP, $22.28, EI, $7.69, EIT, $76.50. Joe would therefore only receive $343.53 as his net pay (450.00 - 22.28 - 7.69 - 76.50). The amounts withheld from Joe will be paid to the government by Joe's employer, which is you.
Let’s record that into the expanded accounting equation with account names.

Your employee, Joe, received his net pay, $343.53, but you now owe $106.47 (22.28 + 7.69 +
76.50) to the government. Add the two together (what you paid Joe and what you WILL pay the government in the future) and you get $450, the same as the Wages Expense. So employees are the only ones who fund government services?
Well, no, that's not true. When employers hire employees they also have to pay into the Canada Pension Plan and Employment Insurance on behalf
of their employees. Employers have to match the CPP amount and pay 1.4 times the EI contribution. That means that you, 29 | P a g e

as Joe's employer, withhold the CPP amount of $22.28 from Joe but you would also have to record the same amount owed to the government by your business. The CPP Payable would therefore be $22.28 * 2 = $44.56. Half would come from the employee, Joe, and half from the employer, you. In addition, as Joe's employer, you would have to pay 1.4 times the EI amount paid by Joe: $7.69 + (7.69 * 1.4) = $18.46. Joe would pay $7.69 and you, as his employer, would pay $10.77. Basically there are employee contributions (Joe paid 22.28 + 7.69) and employer contributions (you, the employer, will pay $22.28 + (1.4 * 7.69) to both CPP and EI.

Why does the employer have to pay for CPP and EI? Employers have to pay those amounts because they are responsible for helping employees plan for the future: the pension (CPP) they will collect when they retire and employment insurance (EI) benefits the employee will receive if they lose their job.

What does that mean for employers? It means that hiring employees is expensive, both because of the salary you have to pay them and because of the employee benefits you have to pay on their behalf. So why would anyone hire employees? Because you can't do all the work yourself if you want to expand. You expand to generate more profit and you can't earn
profit without incurring expenses.
Let’s fast forward to the end of the month. You, the employer, has to pay the amount you owe to the government. You will pay the total amount owed to the government: CPP, EI, and EIT, a total of $139.52.

What about another example?
Let’s do another example just to be sure you understand the issue of salaries and amounts withheld at source.
Andersen Ltd. gross pay is $10,000. The employee portion of CPP is $495 and of EI is $175. EIT is $2,330. Andersen Ltd. pays its employees on September 20 and pays the government the amount owed on October 8. Record both entries.

Always record the employees’ salary first. Andersen used the services of its employees so it records Salary Expense of $10,000. It withholds CPP, EI, and EIT from its employees’ pay cheques, a total of $3,000 (495 + 175 + 2,330) which it owes to the government. Andersen will set up CPP Payable for $495, EI Payable for $175 and Employee Income Taxes Payable for $2,330. The employees will get their net pay, $7,000, in cash. This is calculated by taking the gross pay and subtracting the CPP, EI and income taxes (10,000 – 495 – 175 - 2,330). 32 | P a g e

What about HST?
HST stands for harmonized sales tax and it is charged on most goods and services sold in Ontario. So far in this textbook, in the examples used, businesses have not charged their customers HST. However, when you bought something, such as office supplies, you PAID HST and it became a part of the cost of the asset. That is because this textbook assumes that the businesses were "small suppliers". This means that, in our examples, the business never had revenues of more than $30,000 per year (remember that is revenue, not profit).
When a business has revenues of less than $30,000 per year they don’t have to register for HST.
This means they don’t charge their customers HST and they don't get an HST credit when they pay HST on the goods and services they buy for the business. What happens if a business has revenues greater than $30,000 in a year?
In the month after the month that the business earned greater than $30,000, the business MUST register for HST. From that point forward (even if they make less than $30,000 in revenues the following year) the business has to charge their customers HST. Businesses that register for HST have to collect HST on all taxable goods and services they sell to their customers. They are required to have a HST registration number and must file special HST returns on a regular basis – monthly, quarterly, or annually.
What about the HST they pay on their purchases? They get an "HST credit" (actually it’s called an ‘input tax credit’) for the amounts they pay on their purchases. What do they pay to the government? The difference between what they collected from their customer and the amounts they paid on their purchases. What about an example?
Say a business has revenues of $120,000. HST is 13% in Ontario, so their customers would actually pay them $135,600 ($120,000 + (120,000 * 13%)). That means that the business owes the government $15,600 ($135,600 - $120,000). However, assume that, during this same period, the business BOUGHT goods and services worth $58,000. That means they actually paid
their suppliers $65,540 ($58,000 + (58,000 * 13%)). The business has paid $7,540 in HST ($65,540 - $58,000). How much do they owe the government? They owe them the difference: $8,060 ($15,600 - $7,540). This amount would be recorded as HST Payable
, a liability that would be remitted (paid) to the government in the future. If the business paid out more HST then they collected 35 | P a g e

from their customer it would be recorded as an HST Receivable
, an asset that they would receive from the government in the future.
Businesses generally have an HST Payable at the end of every period which they must remit to the government at a future date. Businesses that file monthly HST returns have 30 days to pay.
How do you register for an HST account?
You can register online at http://www.cra-arc.gc.ca
. Check your understanding (CYU9-6)
You start a snow shoveling/lawn mowing business. During your first year you generated $20,000 in revenue. Do you need to charge your customer HST? Why or why not? How are liabilities presented on the financial statements?
As noted in Chapter 4, liabilities are divided between current (due in the upcoming 12 months)
and long-term liabilities (due after 1 year) on the balance sheet. They are shown in order of when they are due. Under current liabilities, Accounts Payable is always listed FIRST, followed by all the other current liabilities. If there is no information about when the other current liabilities are due then their order can be random, as long as accounts payable is listed first.
For long term liabilities the order is again based on when they are due. For instance, if you have two loans, one due in 2 years and one due in 10 years, the one due in 2 years would always be listed first.
An example of the liabilities section of the balance sheet is provided below. Check back to Chapter 4 for more detailed information about the structure of the balance sheet.

Balance Sheet (Partial)
At December 31, Year 1
On the income statement, if it is a single step, all of the expenses, including employee benefits and interest expense, are listed together. If your business uses a multiple step income statement employee benefits would be included in operating expenses but the interest expense would be included under Other Revenues and Expenses. For the structure of the income statement, check back to Chapter 4 (single step) and Chapter 5
(multiple step). A partial balance sheet (liabilities only) is provided below.
There is one error on the balance sheet above. Did you catch it? We’ll tell you what it is at the bottom of the next page.
Putting it all together!
A business’s liabilities are an important element that stakeholders have to consider when making decisions about a business. Liabilities must be paid as they come due and, if businesses don’t have the necessary cash to pay off their debts, they often end up in financial difficulty. In addition, if a business wants to expand it will have to borrow money from creditors. Being allowed to borrow money is only possible if the business has the ability to pay interest on its debts and, eventually, pay off the principal portion. If businesses don’t understand what liabilities they have and when they are due they can 37 | P a g e

quickly reach a point where they are unable to make the necessary payments. Liabilities are therefore an important consideration for every business.
Going forward!
You have finished analyzing assets and liabilities, the two main elements on the balance sheet. Although equity is also present on the balance sheet you already know what makes up equity: the contributions owners make to the business and retained earnings. You now know about the individual accounts for each element and how important that knowledge is for business decision making. You also know that the details about individual accounts can lead to even better decision making. What, then, is left to learn? Business owners must be able to put it all together: look at their financial statements over time
and use that information to make decisions about the future.
In the next, and final, chapter you will be analyzing the financial statements as a whole. By looking at the financial statements over time (called comparative financial statements) business
owners can better understand how their business has done in the past and how to use this information to determine what to do in the future.
What’s the error on the balance sheet on the previous page? Did you notice that the year-end date is December 31, Year 1? The first note payable is due in Year 2 – so it should be a current liability, not long term! This was on a final exam not so long ago, and a lot of students missed it. Be careful and mind the details!

C.
Provide all the entries necessary to demonstrate your understanding of how to use the Accounts Payable account.
D.

G.
Record all the entries required when borrowing money from a creditor (such as a Note Payable). H.
Demonstrate how interest is calculated. Record the interest payments made on the loan as well as the amounts that must be accrued. I.
Explain why incomes taxes payable is a liability account. What is it used for?
J.
Demonstrate your understanding of the entries made to the income tax payable account. When are they made and why?
K.
Why is the hiring and paying of employees important for any business to understand?
L.
Define CPP, EI, and EIT. M.
Record the appropriate entries related to paying your employees, including the amounts
withheld at source.
N.
What are employee benefits? Who pays them and why? What entries must be recorded?
O.
What is HST? When do businesses have to register their business for an HST number? What is HST Payable and when would a business record HST Receivable?
P.
How are liabilities presented on the balance sheet? How is interest expense presented on the income statement?
Watch out for
....
Remember that CPP withheld is matched but EI withheld is multiplied by 1.4 – not the other way around. Also - students often struggle with the issue of interest on loans. They forget that interest rates are always annual rates and must be divided by 12, regardless of how long the loan is outstanding. In addition, they treat interest that is paid at the beginning of the month as
interest for the upcoming month (paid in advance) rather than the month that just passed. Remember that interest is a factor of time and it is owed only AFTER the cash that was borrowed has been used.

You start a snow shoveling/lawn mowing business. During your first year you generated $20,000 in revenue. Do you need to charge your customers HST? Why or why not?
Not unless you are already registered for HST!
Businesses can CHOOSE to register for HST even if they don't have revenue greater than $30,000.
If they have CHOSEN to register for HST they would have to charge HST on their sales, even if their revenues are less than $30,000.
If the business has NOT CHOSEN to register for HST early then they do not have to charge their customers HST.
Why not? Because they have not reached $30,000 of revenues at this time.
In the month after they reach revenues of $30,000 the business will have to register for
HST and then start charging their customers HST.
NOTE: from that point forward, regardless of their revenues, they will have to charge HST to their customers.

Holden Inc. receives an advance payment of $1,600 from a customer for services to be performed next year. You, the accountant, record an increase in Cash and an increase in Service Revenue in the current year. Name the qualitative characteristic that you think applies and indicate if the qualitative characteristic has been VIOLATED (not followed) or FOLLOWED. Be sure to explain WHY you think that is true! -
Violated the qualitative characteristic faithful as the records are not free of error -
When you were paid in advance you have not completed the work so you can’t recognize the revenue
-
Instead you have an obligation to provide the goods or the service in the future which is a liability called deferred revenue PQ9-2
In order to meet their objectives, stakeholders have questions they need answered. Which stakeholder would most likely have the question "Does the business have existing loans? If so, what is the total value of the existing loans and when are they due?" Why would the stakeholder want this information? -
Creditors (a bank for instance) would want this kind of information about existing debts -
They would want to assess the business’s ability to pay existing loans and determine if the business is able to take on additional debt -
They would also want to determine if the business can make the interest payments 80 | P a g e

Explain why Ankita Ltd. shipped the return chairs on July 7 using FOB shipping point instead of FOB destination. Why did this make sense?
The original order on July 7 was FOB destination point. That means that TAM wholesaler the seller owned the inventory and was responsible for it while it was in transit. When 2 of the chairs were damaged in transit it was TAM wholesaler’s problem. Ankita Ltd. should not be required to pay for the returned inventory that they were not responsible for. Therefore it makes sense that Ankita Ltd. ships the damaged goods back FOB shipping point, making TAM wholesaler responsible for the returned shipping costs. If Ankita Ltd. did not make the entries on July 31 what qualitative characteristic would they violate? Explain why you think that qualitative characteristic applies.
Faithful as the financial statements would be wrong. (assets overstated, expenses understated, equity overstated as profit it too high) Ankita Ltd. has monthly sales of approximately $15,000. It is in its 4th year of operations. Does Ankita charge their customers HST on the sale of chairs? Support your answer with reasoning.
15,000 x 12 = $180,000 in revenue. Yes, Ankita would have to register for HST as soon as the company’s revenue is greater than $30,000 and then it would have to begin to charge its customers HST. 86 | P a g e

PQ9-10, continued If you calculate the outstanding accounts receivable as a percentage of net sales that were made on credit, what percentage of credit sales has not, as yet, been collected? Calculation:
145,000/947,000 = 15.31%
Assume the percentage you calculated in the past two years was 12.3% in Year 2 (last year) and 11.6% in Year 1 (two years ago). Would this concern you? Why or why not? Yes, this would concern me as the percentage has increased steadily over the last 3 years. The concern is the higher the accounts receivable balance and the slower we collect the cash the more likely it is that we will never be able to collect the outstanding A/R. The balance sheet of Hickle Inc. would show:
Accounts receivable $145,000
Less AFDA (17,400)
Net realizable value 127,600 What would be the profit for Hickle Inc. after
the entries have all been made? Show your calculations.
Before adjustments $236,000 Less bad debt expense 16,040
$219,960 Note that bad debt expense reduces the profitability of the business! It is the cost of selling on credit. 94 | P a g e
