FINANCIAL STATEMENTS: PERSONAL ACCOUNTING
Assessment Questions
AS-1 LO 1-1
Define accounting and describe the purpose of accounting. Accounting is a system to identify, measure and communicate all the financial activities of an individual or a business. The purpose of accounting is to allow interested users to make informed judgments based on accurately recorded information.
AS-2 LO 1-2
In simple terms, what are assets and liabilities?
Assets are what you own and liabilities are what you owe.
AS-3 LO 1-3
What are revenues and expenses? Provide an example of each in your personal life.
Revenues are increases in net worth caused by providing goods or services. In your personal life, one way revenue is earned is by working and earning a salary. Expenses are a decrease in net worth due to the costs of day-to-day activities. In your personal life, expenses include items such as rent and food.
AS-4 LO 1-2
Explain the role of the balance sheet.
The balance sheet is a document that is used to record what you own (assets) and what you owe (liabilities) on a specific date. The balance sheet provides a snapshot of your financial position. The difference between the value of what you own and what you owe represents your net worth.

Financial Statements: Personal Accounting

AS-5 LO 1-3
Explain the role of the income statement. The income statement is a record of transactions summarizing revenue and expenses. The purpose of this statement is to determine the change in net worth over a specific period of time.
AS-6 LO 1-3
Define surplus and deficit.
Surplus is the amount by which revenues exceed expenses for the period. Deficit is the amount by which expenses exceed revenues for the period. The amount is taken from the personal income statement. A surplus increases net worth and a deficit decreases net worth.
AS-7 LO 1-4
What are some advantages of using monthly accounting periods in your personal balance sheet?
The advantages include tracking regular monthly living expenses (e.g. rent, cell phone), frequently assessing
realistic expectations and helping reduce chances for errors.
AS-8 LO 1-5
What is the accounting equation in personal accounting?
Assets = Liabilities + Net Worth
AS-9 LO 1-2, 5
What is net worth?
Net Worth = Assets -
Liabilities. If all assets are cashed out to pay off outstanding liabilities, the remaining cash represents net worth.
AS-10 LO 1-6
Explain accrual-based accounting.
Accrual-based accounting means that revenues (increases in net worth) and expenses (decreases in net worth) are recognized in the time period in which they occur, regardless of when the cash payment is received or made.
Chapter 1
Financial Statements: Personal Accounting
3
AS-11 LO 1-6
Briefly describe the cash-based method of accounting.
Under the cash-based method of accounting, revenues and expenses are recorded only when the cash is received or paid.
AS-12 LO 1-7
True or False: When you borrow money, you have more cash but your net worth decreases.
False. Borrowing money does not change your net worth.
AS-13 LO 1-7
True or False: When you pay off the principal of a loan, your cash decreases and your net worth increases.
False. Repaying debt does not change your net worth.
AS-14 LO 1-8
True or False: Buying an asset has no impact on net worth.
True. When you buy an asset you simply exchange one asset (cash) for another asset (e.g. car, furniture).
AS-15 LO 1-8
Briefly explain the difference in net worth between buying an asset with cash and taking on a bank loan to buy the asset.
There is no difference in net worth. Buying an asset with cash involves exchanging one asset for another. Taking on a bank loan to buy an asset results in both an increase in an asset and an increase in a liability (loan), with no resulting impact on net worth.
AS-16 LO 1-9
What is capital?
Capital is an increase to net worth other than revenue (such as winning the lottery or receiving a gift).
AS-17 LO 1-9
What is the equation for calculating ending net worth for a period?
Ending Net Worth = Beginning Net Worth + Capital + Surplus (Deficit)

AS-18 LO 1-10
What is a T-account?
A T-account is used to record accounting transactions for individual items. It is a tool used to track the double entries for each transaction on opposite sides (increase or decrease) of each account.
AS-19 LO 1-10
Where do the opening balances of the assets and liabilities normally appear on T-accounts?
The opening balances of the asset accounts normally appear on the left side of the T-accounts (increase side). The opening balances of the liabilities and net worth normally appear on the right side of the T-accounts (increase side).

Darryl purchased a new laptop on January 1, 2022, worth $2,000. He paid the entire amount using cash. He also purchased a new cell phone worth $300 on account. How will these transactions affect Darryl’s net worth?
Net Worth = Assets −

Cash

Liabilities
?
Net Worth

Determine the total amount of liabilities.
Since Assets = Liabilities +
Net Worth, then Liabilities = Assets -
Net Worth.
Liabilities = ($35,000 + 58,000 + 100,000) -
$55,000 = $138,000
The total amount of liabilities is $138,000.

Analysis
Tamira notices that her cash has not increased by as much as her net worth has. Why is this the case?
Some transactions, such as purchasing assets or paying back debt, affect cash but not net worth. Tamira has not purchased any assets during the period. Her credit card debt has decreased by $500 and her car loan has decreased by $1,000. She used $1,500 cash to pay back her debts, which is why the increase in cash is $1,500 less than the increase in net worth.

Required
a) How much is Nicola’s furniture worth?
Nicola’s assets include a bicycle, car, television, cash and furniture. From her personal accounting information, the assets, excluding the furniture, are worth $5,000. Nicola’s total assets are $6,100, which means the furniture must be worth $1,100 ($6,100 − $5,000).
b) How much rent does Nicola owe?
Remember that Assets = Liabilities + Net Worth, also expressed as Liabilities = Assets -
Net Worth. Nicola’s total assets are $6,100 and her net worth is $3,350. Therefore, her total liabilities are $2,750. Nicola’s liabilities include her unpaid bills and overdue rent. Unpaid bills total $2,300, so she must owe $450 in rent.
Analysis
Nicola has worked 80 hours at her job as a bartender and earned $1,900 but will not get paid for another two weeks. According to accrual-based accounting, has Nicola’s net worth increased? Why or why not?
Accrual-based accounting states that net worth changes when activities occur, regardless of when cash is paid or received. In this case, Nicola has already earned her salary so her net worth has increased. An asset account could be created to record this.
AP-14A LO 1-5

AP-8B LO 1-3, 6 Amy Nikon is finishing her last year of accounting at college. Her personal budget is tight, so she decided to prepare a personal income statement for this month. Fill in the shaded cells below based on the information given.
• Earned monthly wages and tips of $1,200 from working in the college’s café
• Won $50 in a lottery
• Paid $200 for a concert on her student credit card

After completing her personal income statement, Amy noticed that she has a surplus, although she has a bank overdraft. Should she be concerned about her budget?
In spite of the bank overdraft, Amy has more revenue than expenses based on accrual accounting. She might have a negative cash balance, but accruals are the accumulation of amounts owed but not yet paid, and of amounts due but not yet received.

Lucia has total assets of $35,000 and total liabilities of $20,000. She owns a few pieces of gold jewellery that were originally purchased for $1,000 total. She recently purchased some additional jewellery for $3,000 cash. Which account balances will change from this transaction and by how much? Use the accounting equation to check your answer.
Before the additional jewellery purchase (balanced)
Assets = Liabilities + Net Worth
$35,000 = $20,000 + $15,000
After the purchase, decrease cash by $3,000 and increase jewellery by $3,000
Assets = Liabilities + Net Worth
$35,000 = $20,000 + $15,000
Net worth is not affected.
Analysis
Lucia wants to increase her net worth, so she decides to purchase a new car by getting a bank loan. Has her net worth changed as expected? Explain.
Lucia’s net worth will not increase simply by purchasing an asset. When she borrows money to buy a car, she increases the asset and increases the liability, with no change in net worth.

Required
a) What are Jess’s total assets?
Jess’s assets include appliances, jewellery, a cell phone and a car. Together, these assets total $7,400.
b) What is the amount of Jess’s family loan?
Remember that Assets = Liabilities + Net Worth, therefore Liabilities = Assets -
Net Worth. Jess’s total assets are $7,400 and her net worth is $4,500. Therefore, her total liabilities are $2,900. Her liabilities include her unpaid bills and her family loan. Unpaid bills total $350, so she must owe $2,550 to her family.
Analysis
Jess works as a teacher. She has agreed to work as a substitute during one day next week for extra wages. According to accrual-based accounting, has Jess’s net worth increased? Why or why not?
Accrual-based accounting states that net worth changes when activities occur, regardless of when cash is paid or received. In this case, Jess has not yet worked the extra day so her net worth has not changed.
AP-14B LO 1-5
Dex had the following transactions during the month of May.
1. Purchased a new laptop for $1,200 cash
2. Put $1,600 of car repairs on his credit card
3. Spent $80 on a steak dinner with his sister and paid with his credit card
4. Paid his son’s nanny $850 cash for her services of April
5. Received a salary of $5,500
How have these transactions affected Dex’s net worth?
Impact on Net Worth : +$5,500 -
$1,600 -
$80 -
$850 = $2,970
The costs of the repairs, the dinner and the nanny represent expenses that have decreased net worth, while the salary has increased net worth. Net worth has changed for an overall increase of $2,970. The laptop purchase involves changes in assets and does not affect net worth.

Analysis
Has Dex’s cash changed the same amount as his net worth? Why or why not?
Impact on Cash : +$5,500 -
$1,200 - $850 = $3,450
Dex’s cash has increased by $3,450, which is different from his increase in net worth. This is because there is not a direct relationship between cash and net worth. Some cash transactions affect net worth (if they involve expenses or revenue) and other cash transactions do not affect net worth (if they are matched with assets or liabilities).

Joey purchased his car using 0% financing. This means there is no interest on the loan. What is the effect on net worth after each car payment? Would the effect be any different if the loan had interest? Explain.
With an interest-free loan, each payment reduces the loan by the full amount of the payment. Net worth is not affected because the payment is going directly toward the cost of the asset, not interest. If a loan has interest, then each payment reduces the loan by an amount smaller than the payment. The remainder is interest and is recorded as an expense, which reduces net worth.

Analysis
The net worth account is updated only at the end of an accounting period. Revenue and expense accounts, and the net worth account, track changes in net worth during the period. For each transaction affecting net worth, determine whether revenue, expense or net worth (directly) is used to track the change.

Case Study
CS–1 LO 1-10
After taking the first part of this financial accounting course, you excitedly tell your friend Jordan what you have learned. You tell him about assets, liabilities and net worth and how they increase and decrease in value with every financial transaction. Jordan decides to start getting organized and apply accounting principles to his personal finances. He compiles everything that he thinks is important and calculates his net worth. He then asks you to look over what he has done to make sure it is correct. His important financial items are listed below, along with his version of the T-account records.
1.
He had $1,000 in his bank account at the beginning of the month.
2.
He had a $2,300 balance on his credit card at the beginning of the month.
3.
He estimates that he had about $2,000 worth of “stuff” in his apartment at the beginning of the month (TV, sound system, computer and furniture).
4.
He deposited his salary of $2,500.
5.
He paid his rent for the month with $1,400 cash.
6.
He paid $1,300 to pay off a portion of the credit card bill.
7.
He purchased a new video game system for $550 with his credit card.
8.
He bought $90 worth of food with cash.
9.
He got hired at a second job. He will start next month and will earn $1,000 per month.
10.
He spent $300 cash on movies, stage plays and other entertainment.

a) What are some immediate problems that you see with what Jordan has prepared?
There are not enough accounts to track all of the assets.
He has not prepared an income statement; instead he combined everything into net worth. The accounting equation does not balance.
There are some items in net worth that are not part of net worth.

After you show Jordan the corrected version, he asks a number of questions.
c) Why did you use all of these accounts when I only used three (Cash, Unpaid Accounts and Net Worth)?
The balance sheet provides a snapshot of what you own (assets), what you owe (liabilities) and your net worth. By keeping details about everything you own and owe, it is easier to see the value of your assets and liabilities. The income statement tracks what you earn (revenue) and all of your everyday costs (expenses). By keeping it separate, it is easier to see the details of the transactions. Net worth then gets updated when the income statement is updated.

Financial Statements: Personal Accounting

d) Why is the $2,000 worth of “stuff” not considered net worth?
The $2,000 worth of “stuff” is comprised of items such as electronics and furniture. These items are considered assets because they are owned and provide benefits now and in the future. Net worth is what you would have left if you sold everything and paid off all your debts. If you sold your stuff, you would get $2,000 cash to add to what you already have ($1,000). You would still have to pay your credit card debt, which reduces your net worth by $2,300. Thus, your net worth is really $700. e) I was having trouble figuring out how to record my second job which I start next month. They are going to be paying me $1,000 a month! I figured it will increase my net worth, but I didn’t know where else to put it. I knew it couldn’t be cash, because they haven’t paid me yet. What did you do with it and why?
The salary from next month does not get recorded anywhere right now. It is true that it will increase your net worth, but that will only happen once you have earned it and been paid. Since you have not started the job and have not received any money, it cannot be recorded anywhere.
f) I forgot to tell you that the $1,300 credit card payment included $100 of interest. I didn’t think it mattered since the total payment amount is the same. This won’t change anything, right?
It will change how the payment is applied, and a T-account for interest expense should have been added too. It this case, you only reduced your debt by $1,200, not $1,300. The $100 of interest is actually recorded as an expense on the income statement, which will decrease your net worth.
g) You may have noticed that I am running low on cash. Any suggestions on how I can raise more cash?
The second job that you will start next month is an ideal way to raise more cash because it is through day-to-
day activities and will increase net worth.
Another way to raise cash is to sell some of your investments or assets. This is not ideal because you will lose any benefits those assets provided. All of the contents of home account appear to be somewhat essential, so selling them is not an option.
A third way to raise cash is to borrow money through a loan. This does not increase your net worth because eventually the money must be repaid. If interest is being charged on the loan, net worth will decrease as you make interest payments.
h) This is very useful and I would like to do this more often. I can do it this weekend, then two weeks from now once I finish my exams, then probably not for another month after that. I’m going on a well-
deserved vacation after my exams, so I won’t be around to look after it. Do you think this will work out well?
Actually, you should do this on a regular basis. If you do the financial analysis in a haphazard manner, you will not be able to properly compare one income statement to the next. You should do this once a month. This will give you an opportunity to compare one month of revenues and expenses to another. It will also allow you to monitor the value of your assets, liabilities and net worth. By performing these steps on a regular basis, you can estimate what your surplus will be each month and plan for larger purchases, such as a car or a vacation.
