$ 3,900
$ 0.26
*Note to instructor: It is worth noting that including both depreciation and the principal portion of the car
loan would be double-counting the purchase price of the car. Depreciation issues are introduced in
Chapter 4.
b. Although you spent no money during this trip, you incurred significant costs. For example,
you have used much of the gasoline in your tank. Also, the more miles you drive, the higher
your repair and maintenance costs, depreciation, and insurance. Assuming that it cost you
about 26 cents per mile to own and operate your vehicle, about $26 would be a reasonable
estimate of your driving expenses.
Note to instructor: Most employers do base their reimbursement of driving expenses on an average cost per
mile. In a sophisticated class, you may want to point out that the incremental costs of this trip are much less
than the average cost. Thus, employees usually benefit somewhat in the short-term when they are
reimbursed for using their own cars.

Owners equity was $200,000 at the beginning of the year ($300,000 - $100,000), and $225,000 at the end of
the year ($335,000 - $110,000). Thus, owners equity increased by $25,000 during the year. Net income (or
loss) for the year can be computed as follows:

Ex. 310 a. An investment by stockholders does not constitute revenue. Although this investment causes
an increase in owners equity, this increase was not earned. It did not result from the
rendering of services or sale of merchandise to outsiders.
b. The collection of an account receivable does not increase owners equity and does not
represent revenue.
c. The borrowing of money from a bank creates a liability; it does not increase the owners
equity and does not represent revenue.
d. The interest was earned in May and represents revenue of that month, despite the fact that no
withdrawals were made from the bank.
e. This fee was earned in May and represents revenue of that month, despite the fact that
collection will not be made until June.
Ex. 311 a. Purchase of a copying machine does not represent expense. The asset Cash is exchanged for
the asset Office Equipment, without any change in owners equity. The purpose of the
transaction was to obtain the use of the copier over a number of years, rather than to generate
revenue only during the current period. (Evergreen will recognize depreciation expense on
this asset throughout its useful life, but the purchase does not represent an expense in March.
Depreciation issues are introduced in Chapter 4.)
b. Gasoline purchased is an expense because it is ordinarily used up in the current period. These
purchases decrease the owners equity and are for the purpose of generating revenue.
c. Payment to an employee for services rendered in March is a March expense. Such a payment
is made to generate revenue and decreases owners equity.
d. The payment to the attorney for services rendered in a prior period reduced an existing
liability but did not affect the owners equity. The payment was not an expense.
e. The dividend does not constitute an expense. Unlike payments for advertising, rent, and
supplies, dividends do not generate revenue. Dividends constitute a return to stockholders of
a portion of their equity in the business.

Ex. 313 a. The companys balance sheet is dated December 31. Thus, it is apparent that its financial year
coincides with the calendar year.
b. 1998: $487,423 = $90,966 + $396,457
1999: $529,416 = $98,770 + $430,646
c. The companys cash (and cash equivalents) increased from $80,744 at the beginning of the
year, to $88,504 at the end of the year. Thus, it had to have posted more debits than credits to
cash (and cash equivalents). Note that these figures are stated in thousands of dollars.

c. The realization principle requires that revenue be recorded when it is earned, even if cash for the goods
or services provided has not been received.
d. The matching principle requires that revenue earned during an accounting period be matched (offset)
with expenses incurred in generating this revenue. Testing supplies are recorded as an asset when they
are first purchased. As these supplies are used in a particular accounting period, their cost will be
matched against the revenue earned in that period.

As shown below, the business was not profitable in its first month
of operations:
Veterinary service revenue
Less: Advertising expense
Salary expense
Net loss
Note to Instructor: It is not uncommon for new small businesses
to initially report a net loss from operations. In this particular
situation, there were so few revenue and expense transactions in
May that it is difficult, if not impossible, to draw any conclusions
about the expected performance of the veterinary clinic in the future.
