Short Answer Questions
Q1: Why do we need adjustments when preparing financial statements?
Ans: Adjustments are needed in financial statements to show the true profit or loss of a business. This is because some money earned or spent may not be received or paid in cash during the year. If we do not make these adjustments, the financial statements will not reflect the real situation of the business.
Q2: What is the accrual basis of accounting?
Ans: The accrual basis of accounting means we record income when it is earned and expenses when they occur, not when cash is received or paid. This helps to give a clearer picture of a business's financial health, showing all money owed and owed to the business, even if not yet paid.
Q3: What are outstanding expenses?
Ans: Outstanding expenses are costs that a business has incurred but has not yet paid. For example, if a company uses electricity in December but pays the bill in January, that expense is outstanding for December and needs to be recorded in that month’s financial statements.
Q4: What are prepaid expenses?
Ans: Prepaid expenses are payments a business makes for goods or services it will receive in the future. For instance, if a company pays for a year's insurance in advance, that payment is a prepaid expense until the insurance coverage is used over the year.
Q5: What is the effect of not adjusting for accrued incomes?
Ans: If a business does not adjust for accrued income, it will understate its revenue. This means the financial statements will show less money earned than what the business actually made, leading to a misleading view of its profitability and financial position.
