Transactions
Chapter Opening Critical Thinking Challenge Questions*
Alexandre Bilodeau experienced a huge setback in achieving his goal of winning gold in
the 2006 Olympics. In the face of this challenge, he reflected on the experience, set his
personal goal and had a daily action plan to achieve it. These same steps can be applied
to your life. For instance, you may experience a setback in this accounting course. For
instance, you may not perform as well on a homework assignment or exam as you would
have liked. Like Alexandre Bilodeau, take a moment to understand why you may have
experience this setback, commit to a personal goal and have a detailed action plan to
achieve it. This may include reading the chapters before class, setting aside a few hours
each day to work on the homework, meeting up with a friend once a week to discuss
challenging topics and going to office hours. You can also learn from Alexandre
Bilodeau’s determination in pursuing your career and in facing challenges in the
workplace.

Concept Review Questions
1. Welcome to Lululemon! We are happy to have you as a co-op student. The
fundamental steps in the accounting process are those involved in the accounting
cycle: Analyze transactions to determine if an economic exchange has taken place
and, if so, journalize and post the transaction. An unadjusted trial balance is then
prepared to help identify potential adjustments. Appropriate adjusting entries are
journalized and posted and an adjusted trial balance is generated from which the
financial statements are prepared. Closing entries are then journalized and posted.
Finally, a post-closing trial balance is prepared.
The accounting cycle helps Lululemon keep track of its business activities. These
business transactions include buying fabric, selling yoga clothing and paying
employees. The accounting cycle helps produce financial statements which provide
Lululemon the information to make good business decisions.
2. An account receivable is an amount due to a company, but the amount can be
increased by the customer (debtor) by making additional purchases. An account
receivable is not a single document but represents the result of several written, oral,
or implied promises to pay the creditor. A note receivable is a formal document that
specifies the fixed amount due to a company on a fixed date or on demand.
3. Four different asset accounts would include any of the following from Danier’s June
28, 2014 balance sheet: Cash, Accounts receivable, Income taxes recoverable,
Inventories, Prepaid expenses, Property and equipment, Computer software and
Deferred income tax asset. Three different liability accounts would include any of the
following: Payables and accruals (same as Accounts payable and accrued
primedocs
liabilities), Deferred revenue, Sales return provision and Deferred lease inducements
and rent liability.
4. A debit will decrease and a credit will increase the following accounts: Accounts
Payable, Owner’s capital and Revenue. Answers will vary, but can include liability
(accounts payable, notes payable, unearned revenue and bank loan), owner’s capital
and revenue accounts.
5. Three debit balance accounts from WestJet’s December 31, 2014 balance sheet might
include any of the following: Cash and cash equivalents; Restricted cash; Accounts
receivable; Prepaid expenses, deposits and other; Inventory; Assets held for sale;
Property and equipment; Intangible assets; or Other assets. Three credit balance
accounts might include any of the following: Accounts payable and accrued liabilities;
Advance ticket sales; Non-refundable guest credits; Current portion of maintenance
provisions; Current portion of long-term debt; Maintenance provisions; Long-term
debt; Other liabilities; Deferred income tax; Share capital; Equity reserves; Hedge
reserves; or Retained earnings.

6. When a company sells services or goods, they will exchange their service or good
for cash. When the company sells services or goods, they earn revenue. In the
account equation, Cash (Asset) increases and Revenue (Equity) increases. If the
customer does not pay today, the company records an accounts receivable instead
of cash. Accounts receivable holds value for the company because it is a promise
from the customer to pay in the future. When the customer pays cash, the company
no longer has an accounts receivable. With the accounting equation, Accounts
receivable (Asset) increases and Revenue (Equity) increases.
Account (1) Type of (2) Normal (3) Financial (4) Time period

Accounts Asset Debit Balance Sheet A specific point in

7. Owner’s withdrawals are when a business owner takes out money that was earned
in the business for personal use. An example is when an owner needs to take out
money for a personal vacation. An expense occurs when a cost is needed to run the
normal operations of the business. An example is that a business needs to pay its
employees for selling clothes at a retail store.

8. Debited accounts are recorded first. The credited accounts are indented.
9. A transaction should first be recorded in a journal to create a complete record of the
transaction in one place. Then the transaction is posted to the ledger where entries
are summarized by type, i.e., cash, accounts payable, interest expense, etc., to
enable analysis by account. This arrangement also means that fewer errors will be
made in the accounts.
10. Accounting software is a tool that makes recording accounting transactions easier.
You are still the “brain” behind the accounting. You will need to decide when to
record a transaction, how to record the transaction, how to interpret the financial
statements and what business decisions to make. Knowing how to record
accounting manually will help you understand the entire accounting process and
what happens behind the software. There are errors in software programs. Over
relying on a software program can result in large errors. When you are writing a
report using the computer, you still need to know how to write paragraphs and how
to explain your content. Just like accounting software, the computer is only a tool.
11. Not preparing a trial balance can cause errors in the financial statements. The trial
balance helps to identify and correct errors. If the debits do not equal the credits in
the trial balance, this is a clue that errors need to be corrected.
