To determine

Ascertain the amount for the given equations at the end of the January 2014.

Answer to Problem 10E

For the equation$\text{Revenues}-\text{Expenses}=\text{Net income}$:

$\begin{array}{c}\text{Revenue}-\text{Expenses}=\text{Net income}\\ \text{\$19,850}-\$16,900=\$2,950\end{array}$

For the equation$\text{Assets}=\text{Liabilities}+\text{Stockholders' equity}$:

$\begin{array}{c}\text{Assets}=\text{Liabilities}+\text{Stockholders' equity}\\ \$82,470=\$60,640+\$21,830\end{array}$

Explanation of Solution

Accrual basis of accounting:

Accrual basis of accounting refers to recognizing the financial transactions during the period in which the event occurs, even if the cash is not exchanged.

Working note:

Calculate the revenues:

$\begin{array}{c}\text{Revenues}=\text{Rebuilding fees revenue}+\text{Rent from revenue}\\ =\$19,000+\$850\\ =\$19,850\end{array}$ (1)

Calculate the expenses:

$\begin{array}{c}\text{Expenses}=\text{Wages expenses}+\text{Utilities expenses}\\ =\$16,500+\$400\\ =\$16,900\end{array}$ (2)

Calculate the net income:

Particulars	Amount($)	Amount ($)
Revenues	(1)19,850
Less: Expenses	(2)16,900
Net income		$2,950

Table (1)

Accounting equation:

Accounting equation is an accounting tool expressed in the form of equation, by creating a relationship between the resources or assets of a company, and claims on the resources by the creditors and the owners. Accounting equation is expressed as shown below:

$\boxed{\text{Assets = Liabilities + Stockholders' Equity}}$

Calculate the amount for the accounting equation:

Assets	=	Liabilities	+	Stockholders’ Equity
$12,090		$7,700		$1,700
$24,800		$4,440		$7,820
$2,460		$48,500		$9,360
$10,420				$2,950
$7,400
$25,300
$82,470	=	$60,640	+	$21,830

To determine

Calculate the net income under cash basis of accounting and explain the reason in which manner the net income differ from accrual basis of accounting.

Answer to Problem 10E

Net income of Company SPR under cash basis of accounting is $7,890.

Explanation of Solution

Cash basis of accounting:

Cash basis of accounting refers to the recognition of financial transactions only when the cash is received or paid.

Calculate the net income under cash basis accounting:

Particulars	Amount($)	Amount ($)
Cash receipts	(3) 27,650
Less: Cash payments	(4) 19,760
Net income		$7,890

Table (3)

Calculate the cash receipts:

$\begin{array}{c}\text{Cash receipts}=\left(\text{Rebuilding fees revenue}\right)+\left(\text{Deposits received}\right)\\ +\left(\text{Rent revenue}\right)+\left(\text{Accounts receivable}\right)\\ =\$19,000+\$600+\$850+\$7,200\\ =\$27,650\end{array}$ (3)

Calculate the cash payments:

$\begin{array}{c}\text{Cash payments}=\text{Accounts payable}+\text{Wages expenses}+\text{Payments for supplies}\\ =\$2,300+\$16,500+\$960\\ =\$19,760\end{array}$ (4)

• According to the cash basis of accounting, the net income is higher than the accrual basis of accounting.
• The recording of the expenses and revenues differ from the accrual basis of accounting.
• Hence, the net income is different for the accrual basis of accounting and cash basis of accounting.
