In Fundamentals of Accountancy, Business and Management 1, you were introduced to the Accounting
Equation and the five (5) major elements of the accounting equation or most commonly known as the
five (5) major accounts.
Can you write the Accounting Equation on the board and list the 5 major accounts?
Good job!
Now, can you remember the particular accounts under the five major accounts? Can you write them in
the boxes below?
Learning Activity
Get a clean sheet of paper!
After you have done that, get the total amount of the things you
own and the amount you owe.

How much did you get? What do you call the amount left?
Let’s go!
Financial experts say that it is a snapshot of the financial condition of a business as of a given time. It
means that it shows what the business owns, what it owes and the claim of the owners in the business.
The balance sheet lists in detail the assets and liabilities of the business and shows the residual
interest of the owner as of a specific date.
The accounts in the Balance Sheet or Statement of Financial Position (SFP) are real accounts or
permanent accounts and contra asset accounts.
Real accounts or permanent accounts are retained and are forwarded in the succeeding accounting
period. The ending balance of real accounts in an accounting period becomes the beginning balance
of the succeeding or next accounting period.
They are called permanent because these accounts are maintained until their balances become zero.
Contra Asset accounts on the other hand are deductions from the business’ asset accounts. These
contra asset accounts are Allowance for Bad Debts or Doubtful Accounts and Accumulated
Depreciation.
Allowance for Bad Debts account is a deduction from the Accounts Receivable.
Accumulated Depreciation is a reduction on the fixed assets of the business. It is the added or the
build up of the cost of wear and tear of fixed assets.
Among the list of the fixed assets above, Land is the only fixed asset that
does not depreciates. In fact, it is an asset the appreciates over time.
It appreciates because of the economic development that happens around it.
Let us look at the accounts in the balance sheet or statement of financial position.
ASSETS
➢ resources owned and/or controlled by the enterprise from which future economic benefits are
expected
➢ things of value and rights owned by the business
Classification of Assets:
• Current Asset
• Investments
• Property, Plant or Equipment (or Fixed Assets or Non-current Assets)
• Other Assets (Intangible Assets)
Current Assets
An asset shall be classified as current when it satisfies any of the following criteria:
• It is expected to be realized in, or is intended for sale or consumption in the entity’s normal
operating cycle.
• It is held primarily for the purpose of being traded.
• It is expected to be realized within 12 months after the balance sheet date.
• It is cash or cash equivalent (as defined in IAS 7 Cash Flow Statements), unless it is restricted
from being changed, or used to settle a liability for at least 12 months after the balance sheet
data.
Investments
These are assets not directly identified with the operating activities of a company (as distinguished from
inventories, supplies, plant, property and equipment). They are expected to contribute to the success
of the business by making independent contributions to earnings or exercising a certain favorable effect
upon the sales and operation of the company.

use of current assets or the creation of other current liabilities.

In a merchandising busines the main activity is the buying and selling of goods.
There is another account which is the Merchandise Inventory account.
Merchandise Inventory refers to the goods that a seller or reseller are offering to the market or to the
consuming public.
An example will be, if the business is engaged in the trading or buying selling of school and office
supplies then the bond paper, ballpen, notebooks are considered merchandise inventory.
If the business is a grocery or sari-sari store, then the canned goods, candies, softdrinks, juices, etc are
merchandise inventory.
Another example is a pharmacy, the medicine that it sells are considered merchandise inventory.
Learning Activity
Look at the pictures below, name the merchandise of the business.
Can you give other examples of inventory?
There are two methods or systems of maintaining merchandise inventory: a) Periodic and b)
Perpetual.
Periodic Inventory
Periodic inventories do not maintain an ongoing balance of the quantities and overall valuation of the
inventory on hand. The amounts on hand and valuation are only determined at the point a physical
inventory is taken. That valuation is used to update the inventory balance in the General Ledger.
Perpetual Inventory
Perpetual inventories maintain an ongoing balance of the quantities and overall valuation of the
inventory on hand. This is done by keeping detailed records of each item held in stock and increasing
the quantity and valuation of the item when stock is purchased or otherwise added, and reducing the
quantity and valuation of each item when stock is sold or returned to vendors.

If the business is using the Periodic Inventory system, every time the business buys/purchase inventory
they use the account “Purchases”. The account Purchase is debited. If there are items that are
defective and need to be returned or there are items that are slightly defective and will require
reductions in cost then the account Purchase Return and Allowances are credited since they are
decrease or reduction on Purchases.

Fashion by Anne S. and delivered the ordered items together with the sales invoice.
