d) True or False? For PW1: Assuming I followed the requirements, I will receive 0.5 mark for designing one MCQ on Topic 1 and 0.5 mark for designing one MCQ on Topic 2. Assuming I followed the requirements, I will receive 0.5 mark for answering five MCQs on Topic 1 and 0.5 mark for answering five MCQs on Topic 2.

QUESTION 3 (Revision of ACCTG 102)

To ensure you post and balance general ledger accounts correctly ACCTG 211, you must follow the three examples below. The treatment below is the same as ACCTG 102; refer to the summary illustration of journalising and posting on pages 106 to 107 of your ACCTG 102 textbook.  There is no GST in these examples. After you have worked through the three examples below in detail, go to the answer booklet and answer Question 3.

Example 1: Accounts receivable BEFORE it is balanced

Left side = Debit side

$ Dr side

Right side = Credit side

$ Cr side

01/3/23

Opening balance

60,000

31/3/23

Cash

688,000

31/3/23

Sales

700,000

31/3/23

Allowance for DD

3,200

Adds up to 760,000

Adds up to 691,200

Note: The debit side adds up to $760,000, and this is greater than the credit side of $691,200, a difference of $68,800.

The debit side > credit side by $68,800; therefore, a debit balance of $68,800 for reporting purposes

i.e., Accounts receivable is an asset; therefore, a debit balance.

The debit and credits of the three journal entries posted to the GL account above must have been:

Dr AR and Cr Sales for $700 000

Dr Cash and Cr AR $688 000

Dr Allowance for DD and Cr AR $3 200


Accounts receivable AFTER it is balanced

$

$

01/3/23

Bal b/d** = Opening balance

Note: The account starts with an opening balance of $60,000; this was the closing balance for February.

60,000

31/3/23

Cash

688,000

31/3/23

Sales

700,000

31/3/23

Allowance for DD

3,200

31/3/23

Bal c/d* = Closing balance

It makes the credit side add up to the larger debit side ‘total’

68,800

This is a TOTAL, not a balance

and it is underlined top and bottom

$760,000

This is a TOTAL, not a balance

and it is underlined top and bottom

$760,000

01/4/23

Bal b/d** = Opening balance

68,800

Note: The closing balance for 31 March is the opening balance for 1 April.

Note: The two TOTALS are on the same line/row.

Question 3 continued:

The debit side > credit side by $68,800; therefore, a debit balance of $68,800 for reporting purposes in the balance sheet as at 31 March 2023, i.e., Accounts receivable is an asset, hence, a debit balance.

*Historically, ‘Balance c/d’ (Bal c/d) was written here. It refers to the balance to be carried down (c/d) in the GL account. It is a balancing figure, i.e., the $68 800 amount needed to make the debit and credit columns total to the same figure of $760,000.

** ‘Balance b/d’ (Bal b/d) is the balance of the GL account. The term ‘balance b/d’ refers to the balance brought down, and this is the balance of the account.

Example 2 Share Capital BEFORE it is balanced.

Left side = Debit side

$ Dr side

Right side = Credit side

$ Cr side

01/3/08

Cash

45,000

Adds up to 0

Adds up to 45,000

Note: The debit side adds up to $zero, and the credit side adds up to $45,000.

The debit and credit of the one journal entry posted to the GL account above must have been:

Dr Cash and Cr SC $45 000

The credit side > debit side by $45,000, therefore, a credit balance of $45,000 for reporting purposes. Share capital is an equity account with a credit balance.

Share Capital AFTER it is balanced.

Left side = Debit side

$ Dr side

Right side = Credit side

$ Cr side

01/3/08

Cash

45,000

The cash amount of $45 000, from an issue of shares on 1 March 2008, will be the opening balance and the closing balance until there is another issue of shares.

When a permanent general ledger account only has activity on one side of the T- account from one transaction, the transaction amount = Total = the closing balance = opening balance for the next period. There is NO need to enter a closing balance and a total and an opening balance line.

In the summary illustration of journalising and posting on pages 106 to 107 of your ACCTG 102 textbook, there was no need to enter a closing balance and a total and an opening balance line for eleven of the twelve GL accounts. This is because only one transaction affected each of these eleven GL accounts.

Question 3 continued:

Example 3

Assume the following general journal entry had been posted to the GL:

20/3/23

Dr PPE – Land

1 200 000*

Cr Cash

300 000

Cr Loan

900 000
