2-3Journalizing and Posting to Accounts

Obj. 3

As illustrated, a transaction is first recorded in a journal. Periodically, the journal entries are transferred to the accounts in the ledger. The process of transferring the debits and credits from the journal entries to the accounts is called posting.

The December transactions of NetSolutions are used to illustrate posting from the journal to the ledger. By using the December transactions, an additional review of analyzing and journalizing transactions is provided.

A journal entry is shown. December 1 is the date indicated. Prepaid Insurance is debited with 2,400 shown in the Debit column. Cash is credited with 2,400 shown in the Credit column. A journal entry explanation is given below the journal entry: Paid premium on one-year policy. Below the journal form, the accounting equation impact is illustrated. The accounting equation is shown: Assets equals Liabilities plus Owner's Equity. Under Assets in the accounting equation, a T account for Cash is shown. The account number, 11, is shown in the top-right corner of the T account. On the right, in the Credit column of the Cash T account, a December 1 entry of 2,400 is shown. The Debit column of the Cash T account is blank. Under the Cash T account, a T account for Prepaid Insurance is shown. The account number, 15, is shown in the top-right corner of the T account. On the left, in the Debit column of the Prepaid Insurance T account, a December 1 entry of 2,400 is shown. The Credit column of the Prepaid Insurance T account is blank.Enlarge ImageDynamic Exhibit 2-1Copyright © Cengage Learning. All Rights Reserved

The posting of the preceding December 1 transaction is shown in Exhibit 5. Notice that the T account form is not used in Exhibit 5. In practice, the T account is usually replaced with a standard four-column account as shown in Exhibit 5.

Exhibit 5Diagram of the Recording and Posting of a Debit and a Credit Ledger, NetSolutionsA journal entry is shown on Page 2 of a journal form. The journal is broken in two to indicate that there are transactions not listed here that occurred before the entry shown. December 1 is the date indicated. Prepaid Insurance is debited with 15 shown in the Post. Ref. column and 2,400 shown in the Debit column. Cash is credited with 11 shown in the Post Ref. column and 2,400 shown in the Credit column. A journal entry explanation is given below the journal entry: Paid premium on one-year policy. The amounts in the Debit and Credit columns are highlighted in blue color font. Below the journal entry are two ledger accounts. The first ledger account shown is Prepaid Insurance. The account number, 15, is shown in the top-right corner. One transaction is listed. December 1, 2018 is the date indicated in the Date column. The year 2018 appears in small type above the word Dec. The Item column is blank, 2 is shown in the Post. Ref. column, and 2,400 is shown in the Debit column and the Debit Balance column. In the Debit column, 2,400 is highlighted in blue color font. The second ledger account shown is Cash. The account number, 11, is shown in the top-right corner. Three transactions are listed. In the first transaction, November 1, 2018 is the date indicated in the Date column; the Item column is blank; 1 is shown in the Post. Ref. column; and 25,000 is shown in the Debit column and the Debit Balance column. In the second transaction, November 30 is the date indicated in the Date column; the Item column is blank; 2 is shown in the Post. Ref. column; 2,000 is shown in the Credit column; and 5,900 is shown in the Debit Balance column. In the third transaction, December 1 is the date indicated in the Date column; the Item column is blank; 2 is shown in the Post. Ref. column; 2,400 is shown in the Credit column and is highlighted in blue color font; and 3,500 is shown in the Debit Balance column. Before the listings of the second and third transactions, the account is broken in two to indicate that there are transactions not listed here that occurred after the first transaction listed and before the second transaction listed here. In both ledger accounts, there is a small arrow pointing to Dec. 1 in the Date column with the words Step 1 written in bold type to the left of the arrow. In the journal entry, there is a small arrow going from the 2,400 in the Debit column to the 2,400 in the Debit column of the Prepaid Insurance ledger account with the words Step 2 written in bold type. In the journal entry, there is a small arrow going from the 2,400 in the Credit column to the 2,400 in the Credit column of the Cash ledger account with the words Step 2 written in bold type by the arrow. In both ledger accounts, a small arrow with the words Step 3 in bold type underneath the arrow points to the 2 in the Post. Ref. column. In the journal entry, there are two small arrows pointing to the 15 and 11 in the Post. Ref. column, with the words Step 4 in bold type to the left of each arrow.Enlarge Image

The debits and credits for each journal entry are posted to the accounts in the order in which they occur in the journal. To illustrate, the debit portion of the December 1 journal entry is posted to the prepaid insurance account in Exhibit 5 using the following four steps:

Step 1.The date (Dec. 1) of the journal entry is entered in the Date column of Prepaid Insurance.

Step 2.The amount (2,400) is entered into the Debit column of Prepaid Insurance.

Step 3.The journal page number (2) is entered in the Posting Reference (Post. Ref.) column of Prepaid Insurance.

Step 4.The account number (15) is entered in the Posting Reference (Post. Ref.) column in the journal.

As shown in Exhibit 5, the credit portion of the December 1 journal entry is posted to the cash account in a similar manner.

The remaining December transactions for NetSolutions are analyzed and journalized in the following paragraphs. These transactions are posted to the ledger later in this chapter (see Exhibit 6). To simplify, some of the December transactions are stated in summary form. For example, cash received for services is normally recorded on a daily basis. However, only summary totals are recorded at the middle and end of the month for NetSolutions.

Microsoft's Unearned Revenue

Microsoft Corporation develops, manufactures, licenses, and supports a wide range of computer software products, including, Word®, Excel®, and the Xbox® gaming system. When Microsoft sells its products, it also provides technical support and periodic updates on those products for a period of time. Thus, at the time of sale, a portion of the proceeds is unearned (deferred) for these services. As time passes and services are provided to customers, Microsoft records a portion of its unearned (deferred) revenue as revenue.

To illustrate, the following excerpt was taken from a recent financial statement of Microsoft:

Unearned revenue … include(s) payments for: post-delivery support and consulting services to be performed in the future; Xbox Live subscriptions and prepaid points; Microsoft Dynamics business solutions products; Office 365 subscriptions; Skype prepaid credits and subscriptions; Bundled Offerings; and other offerings for which we have been paid in advance….

During a recent year, Microsoft recognized as revenue $48,498 million of unearned revenue, which is 57% of its total revenues. For a recent year ending June 30, Microsoft also reported on its balance sheet a liability for unearned revenue of $33,909 million. Thus, the recording of unearned revenue is a significant item for Microsoft.

Computerized Accounting Systems

Computerized accounting systems are widely used by even the smallest companies. These systems simplify the record-keeping process in that transactions are recorded in electronic forms. Forms used to bill customers for services provided are often completed using drop-down menus that list services that are normally provided to customers. An auto-complete entry feature may also be used to fill in customer names. For example, type “ca” to display customers with names beginning with “Ca” (Caban, Cahill, Carey, and Caswell). And to simplify data entry, entries are automatically posted to the ledger accounts when the electronic form is completed.

One popular accounting software package used by small- to medium-sized businesses is QuickBooks®. Some examples of using QuickBooks to record accounting transactions are illustrated and discussed in Chapter 5.
