AN INTRODUCTION TO ACCOUNTING Accounting is frequently called the “language of business” because of its ability to communicate financial information about an organization. Various interested parties, including internal users, such as a company's managers and employees, and external users, such as creditors, potential investors, governmental agencies, financial analysts, and labor unions, rely on a company’s financial information to help them make informed financial decisions. An effective accounting system, therefore, must include accurate collecting, recording, classifying, summarizing, interpreting, and reporting of information on the financial status of an organization. 3 © Không sao chép khi chưa được chấp thuận.
BÀI GIẢNG TIẾNG ANH CHUYÊN NGÀNH - KẾ TOÁN – TÀI CHÍNH In order to achieve a standardized system, the accounting process follows accounting principles and rules. Regardless of the type of business or the amount of money involved, common procedures for handling and presenting financial information are used. Incoming money (revenues) and outgoing money (expenditures) are carefully monitored, and transactions are summarized in financial statements, which reflect the major financial activities of an organization. Two common financial statements are the balance sheet and the income statement. The balance sheet shows the financial position of a company at one point of time, while the income statement shows the financial performance of a company over a period of time. Financial statements allow interested parties to compare one organization to another and/or to compare accounting periods within one organization. For example, an investor may compare the most recent income statements of two corporations in order to find out which one would be a better investment. People who specialize in the field of accounting are known as accountants. In the United States, accountants are usually classified as public, private, or governmental. Public accountants work independently and provide accounting services such as auditing and tax computation to companies and individuals. Public accountants may earn the title of CPA (Certified Public Accountant) by fulfilling rigorous requirements. Private accountant work solely for private companies or corporations that hire them to maintain financial records, and governmental accountants work for government agencies or bureaus. Both private and governmental accountants are paid on a salary basis, whereas public accountants receive fees for their services. Through effective application of commonly accepted accounting systems, private, public and governmental accountants provide accurate and timely financial information that is necessary for organizational decision-making.

One may ask himself “Where did my money go?” after counting the money in his purse. So before and after earning, spending and saving, people and businesses turn to paper and pencil – and now to computers – to plan what is going to happen with their money and account for what is happening or has happened to it. A financial plan is called a budget. 11 © Không sao chép khi chưa được chấp thuận.
BÀI GIẢNG TIẾNG ANH CHUYÊN NGÀNH - KẾ TOÁN – TÀI CHÍNH This universal problem affects not only the individual, but all entities – small businesses, big corporations, non-profit organizations, and the government. Many politicians have made many speeches about cost over-runs and budget deficits caused by expenses being greater than income. Husbands and wives worry about living within their means, and parents caution children about over-spending their allowances. A budget is, quite simply, a forecast of what the revenue will be (how much money will come in) and what the expenses will be (how much money will go out). Some expenses are the result of purchases, and accountants call these purchases expenditures. If the budget is for a profit-making entity, the revenue should exceed the expenses and the bottom line should show a profit. The family hopes to have a balanced budget, and politicians often demand the government balance its budget, too. Budgets are prepared for certain periods of time. For example, a 12-month accounting period is called a financial year. When the year begins, it then becomes the task of the bookkeeper to record or enter the income and expense in journals and ledgers. The accountant then counts up and analyzes the financial status and the financial progress of the entity. The financial status is shown in a balance sheet which shows the assets (what the business owns) and the liabilities (what the business owes) and the equities (how much capital the business has). The accountant also prepares a financial statement which has, in addition to the balance sheet, the income statement, which shows the important bottom line and the entity’s profit or loss.

Name some of the widely used accounts. 3. What are major activities involved in the accounting process? B. ĐỌC HIỂU SYSTEMS OF ACCOUNTS The accounting process identifies business transactions and events, analyzes and records their effects, and summarizes and presents information in reports and financial statements. The accounting process that focuses on analyzing and recording transactions and events follows these steps. Business transactions and events are the starting points. Relying on source documents, the transactions and events are analyzed using the accounting equation to understand how they affect company performance and financial position. These effects are recorded in accounting records, informally referred to as the accounting books, or simply the books. Additional steps such as posting and then preparing a trial balance help summarizes and classifies the effects of transactions and events. Ultimately, the accounting process provides information in useful reports or financial statements to decision makers. Source documents identify and describe transactions and events entering the accounting process. They are the sources of accounting information and can be in either hard copy or electronic form. Examples are sales tickets, checks, purchase orders, bills from suppliers, employee earnings records, and bank statements. An account is a record of increases and decreases in a specific asset, liability, equity, revenue, or expense item. The general ledger, or simply ledger, is a record containing all accounts used by a company. The ledger is often in electronic form. While most companies’ ledgers contain similar accounts, a company often uses one or more unique accounts because of its type of operations. Accounts are arranged into three general categories (based on the accounting equation), as shown below. Asset accounts 17 © Không sao chép khi chưa được chấp thuận.
BÀI GIẢNG TIẾNG ANH CHUYÊN NGÀNH - KẾ TOÁN – TÀI CHÍNH Assets are resources owned or controlled by a company and that have expected future benefits. Most accounting systems include separate accounts for the assets described here. A Cash account reflects a company’s cash balance. All increases and decreases in cash are recorded in the Cash account. It includes money and any medium of exchange that a bank accepts for deposit (coins, checks, money orders, and checking account balances). Accounts receivable are held by a seller and refer to promises of payment from customers to sellers. These transactions are often called credit sales or sales on account (or on credit). Accounts receivable are increased by credit sales and are decreased by customer payments. A note receivable, or promissory note, is a written promise of another entity to pay a definite sum of money on a specified future date to the holder of the note. A company holding a promissory note signed by another entity has an asset that is recorded in a Note (or Notes) Receivable account. Prepaid Accounts (also called prepaid expenses) are assets that represent prepayments of future expenses (not current expenses). When the expenses are later incurred, the amounts in prepaid accounts are transferred to expense accounts. Common examples of prepaid accounts include prepaid insurance, prepaid rent, and prepaid services (such as club memberships). Prepaid accounts expire with the passage of time (such as with rent) or through use (such as with prepaid meal tickets). When financial statements are prepared, prepaid accounts are adjusted so that (1) all expired and used prepaid accounts are recorded as regular expenses and (2) all unexpired and unused prepaid accounts are recorded as assets (reflecting future use in future periods). Supplies are assets until they are used. When they are used up, their costs are reported as expenses. The costs of unused supplies are recorded in a Supplies asset account. Supplies are often grouped by purpose - for example, office supplies and store supplies. Office supplies include stationery, paper, toner, and pens. Store supplies include packaging materials, plastic and paper bags, gift boxes and cartons, and cleaning materials. The costs of these unused supplies can be recorded in an Office Supplies or a Store Supplies asset account. When supplies are used, their costs are transferred from the asset accounts to expense accounts. Equipment is an asset. When equipment is used and gets worn down, its cost is gradually reported as an expense (called depreciation). Equipment is often grouped by 18 © Không sao chép khi chưa được chấp thuận.
BÀI GIẢNG TIẾNG ANH CHUYÊN NGÀNH - KẾ TOÁN – TÀI CHÍNH its purpose - for example, office equipment and store equipment. Office equipment includes computers, printers, desks, chairs, and shelves. The Store equipment account includes the costs of assets used in a store such as counters, showcases, ladders, hoists, and cash registers. Buildings such as stores, offices, warehouses, and factories are assets because they provide expected future benefits to those who control or own them. Their costs are recorded in a Buildings asset account. The cost of land owned by a business is recorded in a Land account. The cost of buildings located on the land is separately recorded in one or more building accounts. Liabilities accounts Liabilities are claims (by creditors) against assets, which means they are obligations to transfer assets or provide products or services to other entities. An organization often has several different liabilities, each of which is represented by a separate account that shows amounts owed to each creditor. Creditors are individuals and organizations that own the right to receive payments from a company. If a company fails to pay its obligations, the law gives creditors a right to force the sale of that company’s assets to obtain the money to meet creditors’ claims. When assets are sold under these conditions, creditors are paid first, but only up to the amount of their claims. Any remaining money, the residual, goes to the owners of the company. Creditors often use a balance sheet to help decide whether to loan money to a company. A loan is less risky if the borrower’s liabilities are small in comparison to assets because this means there are more resources than claims on resources. Common liability accounts are described here. Accounts payable refer to oral or implied promises to pay later, which usually arise from purchases of merchandise. Payables can also arise from purchases of supplies, equipment, and services. Accounting systems keep separate records about each creditor. A note payable refers to a formal promise, usually denoted by the signing of a promissory note, to pay a future amount. It is recorded in either a short-term Note Payable account or a long-term Note Payable account, depending on when it must be repaid. Unearned Revenue refers to a liability that is settled in the future when a company delivers its products or services. When customers pay in advance for products or services (before revenue is earned), the revenue recognition principle requires that the seller consider this payment as unearned revenue. Examples of 19 © Không sao chép khi chưa được chấp thuận.
BÀI GIẢNG TIẾNG ANH CHUYÊN NGÀNH - KẾ TOÁN – TÀI CHÍNH unearned revenue include magazine subscriptions collected in advance by a publisher, sales of gift certificates by stores, and season ticket sales by sports teams. The seller would record these in liability accounts such as Unearned Subscriptions, Unearned Store Sales, and Unearned Ticket Revenue. When products and services are later delivered, the earned portion of the unearned revenue is transferred to revenue accounts such as Subscription Fees, Store Sales, and Ticket Sales. Accrued liabilities are amounts owed that are not yet paid. Examples are wages payable, taxes payable, and interest payable. These are often recorded in separate liability accounts by the same title. Equity accounts The owner’s claim on a corporation’s assets is called equity, stockholders’ equity, or shareholders’ equity. Equity is the owners’ residual interest in the assets of a business after deducting liabilities. Equity is impacted by four types of accounts: common stock, dividends, revenues, and expenses. When an owner invests in a company in exchange for common stock, the invested amount is recorded in an account titled Common Stock. Any further owner investments are recorded in this account. When the company pays any cash dividends it decreases both the company’s assets and its total equity. Dividends are not expenses of the business. They are simply the opposite of owner investments. A Dividends account is used in recording asset distributions to stockholders (owners). Revenues and expenses also impact equity. Examples of revenue accounts are Sales, Commissions Earned, Professional Fees Earned, Rent Earned, and Interest Revenue. Revenues increase equity and result from products and services provided to customers. Expenses decrease equity and result from assets and services used in a company’s operations.

Ownership in a company, called equity, is certified through pieces of paper - called shares or stocks - that state that "the holder of this share owns a part of this company."

When 27 © Không sao chép khi chưa được chấp thuận.
BÀI GIẢNG TIẾNG ANH CHUYÊN NGÀNH - KẾ TOÁN – TÀI CHÍNH the company loses money, however, the dividends are reduced or eliminated and the share price tends to fall. In the worst case, the company goes bankrupt, i.e. owing more than it can pay. The shares then become worthless and the owners lose all the money invested in them. A company's shareholders are paid last after the suppliers, after the banks, and after the bondholders. The risk is that there may be nothing left for stockholders after everyone else has been paid off. The reward is that when a company earns a lot, the stockholders get it all. With equity, there is higher risk but also the opportunity for greater reward. All investments involve a certain amount of risk, but a stock is generally considered much more risky than a bond, which is an agreement by the company to pay a specific amount of money at a specific time. In contrast to the fixed income of a bond, the return on an equity investment is unknown. To reward investors for this risk, equity tends to provide a higher return, either in the form of dividend payments or by an increase in value, when the company retains its earnings. Stocks often rise and fall in value rapidly, while bonds tend to be more stable. Bondholders are creditors of a company with a guaranteed return on their investment, whereas shareholders are owners, with all the risks and rewards ownership entails. International equity investment is not limited to the major financial center of London, New York, and Tokyo. Equity ownership can now mean a share of a fast- food store in Moscow, or it can mean a part of Thailand's booming manufacturing industry. It can be part ownership of a hotel in Rio de Janeiro or a light bulb company in Budapest. Equity means ownership, and ownership is now allowed in almost every country in the world. 1.

BÀI GIẢNG TIẾNG ANH CHUYÊN NGÀNH - KẾ TOÁN – TÀI CHÍNH A company with more debts than money to pay them, or in other words more liabilities than assets, is insolvent and if a creditor takes the matter to court the company may be declared bankrupt. This situation can arise even if the company has wonderful sales figures. How is this possible? Some people say that it is not money that makes the world go round, but credit. Getting orders is tough enough, but getting paid can be even tougher. If the company's cash is tied up in stocks of materials and credit to customers it may not have enough cash to pay short-term expenses. It has a cash-flow problem. Managerial accountants and financial directors know that what distinguishes an efficiently managed business from a poorly managed one is the way it controls credit and manages cash-flow, in other words the skill with which a company can make its creditors wait and put pressure on its debtors. So how can credit be controlled, and the risk of bad debt be minimized? The ideal solution would be to make the customer pay up front, but the goodwill of your customers is vital to securing their business in the future. Charge interest on outstanding debts and again you risk alienating your customers. Debts do of course show up in a company's assets, but it is hard cash, not promises to pay, that finances new projects. Promises are often forgotten, and creditors have better memories than debtors.

BÀI GIẢNG TIẾNG ANH CHUYÊN NGÀNH - KẾ TOÁN – TÀI CHÍNH TỪ VỰNG 1 – Từ vựng theo ngữ cảnh ANALYZING TRANSACTIONS The first step in the accounting process is to analyze every transaction (economic event) that affects the business. The accounting equation (Assets = Liabilities + Owner's Equity) must remain in balance after every transaction is recorded, so accountants must analyze each transaction to determine how it affects owner's equity and the different types of assets and liabilities before recording the transaction. Assume Mr. J. Green invests $15,000 to start a landscape business. This transaction increases the company's assets, specifically cash, by $15,000 and increases owner's equity by $15,000. Notice that the accounting equation remains in balance. Mr. Green uses $5,000 of the company's cash to place a down-payment on a used truck that costs $15,000, and he signs a note payable that requires him to pay the remaining $10,000 in eighteen months. This transaction decreases one type of asset (cash) by $5,000, increases another type of asset (vehicles) by $15,000, and increases a liability (notes payable) by $10,000. The accounting equation remains in balance, and Mr. Green now has two types of assets ($10,000 in cash and a vehicle worth $15,000), a liability (a $10,000 note payable), and owner's equity of $15,000. 33 © Không sao chép khi chưa được chấp thuận.
BÀI GIẢNG TIẾNG ANH CHUYÊN NGÀNH - KẾ TOÁN – TÀI CHÍNH Given the large number of transactions that companies usually have, accountants need a more sophisticated system for recording transactions than the one shown on the previous page. Accountants use the double-entry bookkeeping system to keep the accounting equation in balance and to double-check the numerical accuracy of transaction entries. Under this system, each transaction is recorded using at least two accounts. An account is a record of all transactions involving a particular item. Companies maintain separate accounts for each type of asset (cash, accounts receivable, inventory, etc.), each type of liability (accounts payable, wages payable, notes payable, etc.), owner investments (usually referred to as the owner's capital account in a sole proprietorship), owner drawings (withdrawals made by the owner), each type of revenue (sales revenue, service revenue, etc.), and each type of expense (rent expense, wages expense, etc.). All accounts taken together make up the general ledger. For organizational purposes, each account in the general ledger is assigned a number, and companies maintain a chart of accounts, which lists the accounts and account numbers. Account numbers vary significantly from one company to the next, depending on the company's size and complexity. A sole proprietorship may have few accounts, but a multinational corporation may have thousands of accounts and use ten- or even twenty-digit numbers to track accounts by location, department, project code, and other categories. Most companies numerically separate asset, liability, owner's equity, revenue, and expense accounts. A typical small business might use the numbers 100– 199 for asset accounts, 200–299 for liability accounts, 300–399 for owner's equity accounts, 400–499 for revenue accounts, 500–599 for cost of sales expense accounts, and 601–699 for operating expense accounts.

ĐỌC HIỂU Debits and Credits A T-account represents a ledger account and is a tool used to understand the effects of one or more transactions. Its name comes from its shape like the letter T. The layout of a T-account is the account title on top, a left, or debit side, and a right, or credit, side. The left side of an account is called the debit side, often abbreviated Dr. The right side is called the credit side, abbreviated Cr. To enter amounts on the left side of an account is to debit the account. To enter amounts on the right side is to credit the account. The terms debit or credit does not mean increase or decrease. Whether a debit 35 © Không sao chép khi chưa được chấp thuận.
BÀI GIẢNG TIẾNG ANH CHUYÊN NGÀNH - KẾ TOÁN – TÀI CHÍNH or a credit is an increase or decrease depends on the account. In an account where a debit is an increase, the credit is a decrease; in an account where a debit is a decrease, the credit is an increase. The difference between total debits and total credits for an account, including any beginning balance, is the account balance. When the sum of debits exceeds the sum of credits, the account has a debit balance. It has a credit balance when the sum of credits exceeds the sum of debits. When the sum of debits equals the sum of credits, the account has a zero balance. Double-Entry Accounting Double-entry accounting requires that each transaction affect, and be recorded in, at least two accounts. It also means the total amount debited must equal the total amount credited for each transaction. Thus, the sum of the debits for all entries must equal the sum of the credits for all entries, and the sum of debit account balances in the ledger must equal the sum of credit account balances. The system for recording debits and credits follows from the usual accounting equation. Two points are important here. First, net increases or decreases on one side have equal net effects on the other side. For example, a net increase in assets must be accompanied by an identical net increase on the liabilities and equity side. Second, the left side is the normal balance side for assets, and the right side is the normal balance side for liabilities and equity. This matches their layout in the accounting equation where assets are on the left side of this equation, and liabilities and equity are on the right. Equity increases from revenues and owner investments and it decreases from expenses and owner withdrawals. These important equity relations are conveyed by expanding the accounting equation to include debits and credits in double-entry form. Increases (credits) to capital and revenues increase equity; increases (debits) to withdrawals and expenses decrease equity. The normal balance of each account (asset, liability, capital, withdrawals, revenue, or expense) refers to the left or right (debit or credit) side where increases are recorded. Understanding these diagrams and rules is required to prepare, analyze, and interpret financial statements. 36 © Không sao chép khi chưa được chấp thuận.
BÀI GIẢNG TIẾNG ANH CHUYÊN NGÀNH - KẾ TOÁN – TÀI CHÍNH Journalizing and Posting Transactions Processing transactions is a crucial part of accounting. Step 1 analyzes a transaction and its source document(s) and applies double-entry accounting to identify the effect of a transaction on account balances. Step 2 requires that we record transactions in a record called a journal before recording them in accounts. This is to avoid the potential for error and the difficulty in tracking mistakes. A journal gives us a complete record of each transaction in one place. It also directly links the debits and credits for each transaction. The process of recording transactions in a journal is called journalizing. Step 3 is to transfer (or post) entries from the journal to the ledger. The process of transferring journal entry information to the ledger is called posting. Step 4 requires the preparation of a trial balance to check whether debit and credit account balances are equal. 38 © Không sao chép khi chưa được chấp thuận.
BÀI GIẢNG TIẾNG ANH CHUYÊN NGÀNH - KẾ TOÁN – TÀI CHÍNH Journalizing Transactions The process of journalizing transactions requires an understanding of a journal. While companies can use various journals, every company uses a general journal. It can be used to record any transaction and includes the following information about each transaction: (1) date of transaction, (2) titles of affected accounts, (3) amount of each debit and credit, and (4) explanation of the transaction. A complete journal entry gives us a useful description of the transaction and its effects on the organization. Posting Journal Entries To ensure that the ledger is up to date, entries are posted as soon as possible. This might be daily, weekly, or when time permits. All entries must be posted to the ledger by the end of a reporting period. This is so that account balances are current when financial statements are prepared. Because the ledger is the final destination for individual transactions, it is referred to as the book of final entry. When posting entries to the ledger, the debits in journal entries are copied into ledger accounts as debits, and credits are copied into the ledger as credits. For each journal entry, the usual process is to post debit(s) and then credit(s). The steps in posting are: (1) identify the ledger account that was debited in the journal entry, (2) enter the date of the journal entry in this ledger account, (3) enter the source of the debit in the PR column, both the journal and page - the letter G shows it came from the General Journal, (4) enter the amount debited from the journal entry into the Debit column of the ledger account, (5) compute and enter the account’s new balance in the Balance column, (6) enter the ledger account number in the PR column of the journal entry. 39 © Không sao chép khi chưa được chấp thuận.
BÀI GIẢNG TIẾNG ANH CHUYÊN NGÀNH - KẾ TOÁN – TÀI CHÍNH Posting in Computerized Systems Computerized systems require no added effort to post journal entries to the ledger. These systems automatically transfer debit and credit entries from the journal to the ledger database. Journal entries are posted directly to ledger accounts. Many systems have programs that test the reasonableness of a journal entry and the account balance when recorded. Trial Balance A trial balance is a list of accounts and their balances at a point in time. Account balances are reported in the debit or credit column of the trial balance. The trial balance is used to check whether debit and credit account balances are equal and used as an internal report for preparing financial statements. Preparing statements is easier when we can take account balances from a trial balance instead of searching the ledger. We know that one or more errors exist when a trial balance does not balance (when its columns are not equal). When a trial balance does balance, the accounts are 40 © Không sao chép khi chưa được chấp thuận.
BÀI GIẢNG TIẾNG ANH CHUYÊN NGÀNH - KẾ TOÁN – TÀI CHÍNH likely free of the kinds of errors that create unequal debits and credits. Yet errors can still exist. One example is when a debit or credit of a correct amount is made to a wrong account. This can occur when either journalizing or posting. The error would produce incorrect balances in two accounts but the trial balance would balance. Another error is to record equal debits and credits of an incorrect amount. This error produces incorrect balances in two accounts but again the debits and credits are equal. We give these examples to show that when a trial balance does balance, it does not prove that all journal entries are recorded and posted correctly. In a computerized accounting system, the trial balance would always balance. Accounting software is such that unbalanced entries would not be accepted by the system. However, errors as described in the last paragraph can still exist in a computerized system. Câu hỏi phần đọc hiểu 1. What is a T-account like? 2.

They provide information on the financial condition of a company. The balance sheet, one type of financial statement, provides a summary of what a company owns and what it owes on one particular day. Assets represent everything of value that is owned by a business, such as property, equipment, and accounts receivable. On the other hand, liabilities are the debts that a company owes – for example, to supplier and banks. If liabilities are subtracted from 56 © Không sao chép khi chưa được chấp thuận.
BÀI GIẢNG TIẾNG ANH CHUYÊN NGÀNH - KẾ TOÁN – TÀI CHÍNH assets (assets – liabilities), the amount remaining is the owners’ share of a business. This is known as owners’ or stockholders’ equity. One key to understand the accounting transactions of a business is to understand the relationship of its assets, liabilities, and owners’ equity. This is often represented by the fundamental accounting equation: assets equal liabilities plus owners’ equity. Assets = Liabilities + Owners’ Equity (Shareholders’ Equity) These three factors are expressed in monetary terms and therefore are limited to items that can be given a monetary value. The accounting equation always remains in balance; in other words, one side must equal the other. The balance sheet expands the accounting equation by providing more information about assets, liabilities, and owner’s equity of a company at a specific time (for example, on December 31, 2009). It is made up of two parts. The first part lists the company assets, and the second part details liabilities and owners’ equity. Assets are divided into current and fixed assets. Cash, accounts receivable and inventories are all current assets. Property, building, and equipment make up the fixed assets of a company. The liabilities section of the balance sheet is often divided into current liabilities (such as accounts payable, and income taxes payable) and long-term liabilities (such as bonds and long-term notes). The balance sheet provides a financial picture of a company on a particular date, and for this reason, it is useful in two important areas. Internally, the balance sheet provides managers with financial information for company decision-making. Externally, it gives potential investors data for evaluating the company’s financial position. 57 © Không sao chép khi chưa được chấp thuận.

Also called a Statement of Earnings or a Statement of Operations, the income statement compares a company's revenues with its expenses during a specific period. Although income statements measure revenues, expenses, etc. in terms of dollars, these figures do not necessarily correspond to specific amounts of cash a company has. 58 © Không sao chép khi chưa được chấp thuận.
BÀI GIẢNG TIẾNG ANH CHUYÊN NGÀNH - KẾ TOÁN – TÀI CHÍNH For example, a company most likely does not have the amount of cash corresponding to its net income on an income statement. Instead, this figure represents both the actual cash the company has received as well as promises from customers and clients to pay the company for products and services purchased on credit. Nevertheless, companies record revenues when they earn them and expenses when they incur them, not when they actually receive cash. This practice is referred to as the accrual basis of accounting. The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) establishes the definitions of key elements of the income statement, such as revenues, expenses, gains, and losses. Revenues (sales) refer to the total amount of money a business earns by selling its products or by providing its services during a specific period. Revenues also include money earned from dividends, and interest. Expenses refer to the total costs a company incurs for doing business in a specific period, such as the cost of materials, supplies, labor, leases, and utilities. In addition, expenses must directly relate to generating revenues for a company. Materials and utilities are obvious expenses, because a company needs both materials and utilities to manufacture and sell products. 59 © Không sao chép khi chưa được chấp thuận.
BÀI GIẢNG TIẾNG ANH CHUYÊN NGÀNH - KẾ TOÁN – TÀI CHÍNH Gains are increases in the excess of what a company owns over what it owes (owners' equity) from peripheral or incidental transactions of a business entity and from all other transactions and events affecting the company during the accounting period, except those that result from revenues or investments by owners. Examples are a gain on the sale of a building and a gain on the early retirement of long-term debt. Losses are decreases in owners' equity from peripheral or incidental transactions of a business entity and from all other transactions and events affecting the entity during the accounting period, except those that result from expenses or distributions to owners. Examples are losses on the sale of investments and losses from litigation. Net income, or the "bottom line," is the excess of all revenues and gains for a designated period over all expenses and losses of that period. Conversely, net loss is the excess of expenses and losses over revenues and gains for a designated period. The income statement can be prepared using either the single-step or the multiple-step format. The single-step format lists and totals all revenue and gain items at the beginning of the statement. All expense and loss items follow the revenue and gain items. Finally, the total expenses and losses are deducted from the total revenues and gains, yielding the net income. A sample income statement in the single- step format would look like this: 60 © Không sao chép khi chưa được chấp thuận.
BÀI GIẢNG TIẾNG ANH CHUYÊN NGÀNH - KẾ TOÁN – TÀI CHÍNH The multiple-step income statement, on the other hand, presents operating revenue at the beginning of the statement and non-operating gains, expenses, and losses near the end of the statement. Various items of expenses, however, are deducted throughout the statement at intermediate levels, providing useful subtotals along the way. The statement is arranged to show explicitly several important amounts, such as gross margin on sales, operating income, income before taxes, and net income. At the first step, the cost of products sold is deducted from the net revenues. At the second step, operating expenses are deducted. At the final step, non-operating revenues are added and non-operating expenses are subtracted resulting in the net income. Each format of the income statement has its advantages. The advantage of the multiple-step income statement is that it explicitly displays important financial and managerial information that the user would have to calculate from a single-step income statement. The single-step format has the advantage of being relatively simple to prepare and to understand. Here is a sample income statement in the multiple-step format: 61 © Không sao chép khi chưa được chấp thuận.
