Accrual basis of accounting발음듣기

Let's now account for the same series of events, but instead of doing it on a cash basis, let's do it on an accrual basis.발음듣기

And the whole idea with accrual accounting is to match your revenues and expenses to when you actually perform the service.발음듣기

So it actually captures business activity, as opposed to just capturing when cash changes hands.발음듣기

So let's see what that actually means.발음듣기

So in month one, you cater an event where the cost to you was $100.발음듣기

The customer pays you $200 for your services.발음듣기

And what I'll do, I'll do the accrual accounting right here.발음듣기

So this is kind of the cash income statement.발음듣기

Let's do the accrual accounting income statement.발음듣기

So you actually provided the service of catering, you got $200 for your services.발음듣기

So I'll put $200 in for revenue.발음듣기

And the expenses associated with that service that you provided in month one is $100.발음듣기

And so your profit is $100.발음듣기

So at least for month one, the cash basis and accrual basis of accounting look exactly the same.발음듣기

And once again, you have $100 in cash.발음듣기

Now let's go to month two.발음듣기

You cater an event where the cost to you was $200.발음듣기

You and the customer agree that they can pay you $400 the next month.발음듣기

So now it gets interesting, because you performed the catering that month.발음듣기

And the catering that you performed that month is worth $400.발음듣기

So in the accrual basis of accounting, would say that you earned $400 of revenue, even though the customer did not pay you.발음듣기

They did not give you the cash.발음듣기

And the way that you account for that, is on your balance sheet you say that you are essentially owed $400.발음듣기

So this accounts receivable, this is essentially stuff that other people owe you.발음듣기

You need to receive this from other people.발음듣기

But it's an asset.발음듣기

Other people have an obligation to you.발음듣기

So you have an accounts receivable of $400.발음듣기

When they pay you the $400, it goes from accounts receivable to cash.발음듣기

And then the cost to you was $200.발음듣기

So here, all of a sudden, you performed the service, the revenues and expenses for that service are in that month.발음듣기

And now your profit here shows $200.발음듣기

So it is actually a better reflection of what you did it that month.발음듣기

Now, the reality is that you didn't get the cash for it, and you had to spend $200 of cash out of your pocket.발음듣기

So you're still, just like the cash accounting, you're still going to have negative $100 in cash.발음듣기

Now, let's go to month three.발음듣기

You get $400 from the customer the previous month.발음듣기

Now with cash basis, you would have added that to your revenue.발음듣기

But here we already accounted for it in the accounts receivable.발음듣기

We already took that revenue, but because you got the $400 in cash, it's going to just disappear from receivables and then go into cash, because you actually got it.발음듣기

You get $400 from the customer the previous month.발음듣기

You also get $200 in advance from a customer that you have to cater for the next month.발음듣기

So you did no catering in month three, and because you did no catering in month three, you have zero revenue in month three.발음듣기

And then you also have zero expenses.발음듣기

The way that you account for the $400 that you got, is that your accounts receivables goes to 0.발음듣기

And that goes to cash.발음듣기

So the negative $100, you add $400 to it, so it will become positive $300.발음듣기

And the way that you account for this $200 in advance from a customer, is you call that deferred revenue.발음듣기

You've got the cash there.발음듣기

So we went from negative $100, added $400 to $300.발음듣기

You get another $200 in cash, so that gives us $500 in cash again.발음듣기

But we didn't earn any revenue.발음듣기

That $200, that was a kind of a cash advance.발음듣기

So we put that right over here in deferred revenue.발음듣기

That's revenue that we're deferring to a future period.발음듣기

In the future, we will earn it.발음듣기

This is now a liability, because we are obligated to earn that revenue.발음듣기

And then in month four, we actually earn the revenue.발음듣기

So in month four, we can actually put it on our income statement at $200.발음듣기

And then we had $100 of expenses.발음듣기

So we have this $100 right over here.발음듣기

And so in month four, we earned $100.발음듣기

And once again, $100 went away from our cash balance.발음듣기

So we still have $400.발음듣기

So whether you do the cash basis or the accrual basis, you have the same exact amount of cash.발음듣기

But what's more interesting is how the profit relates in each of the periods.발음듣기

And I'll talk about that in a little bit more depth in the next video.발음듣기
