A tool for students to be more competent in comprehending and applying the knowledge taught in
Intermediate Accounting 2 theory classes is Accounting Lab. This course helps students to become
more actively involved by independent problem solving.
This module has been compiled in a way that these purposes might be achieved. It contains the key
elements of each chapter, followed by specific comprehensive exercises to be solved and discussed
each meeting with a lab assistant.
After accomplishing this course, we hope that students are able to apply and analyze accounting
principles in business activities and to be firmly ready for Advanced Accounting 1.
May God bless all of you and grant you wisdom throughout the journey.

Maju Jaya Construction Company has entered into a contract to construct a $5,500,000 bridge
at an estimated cost $5,000,000. The contract is start in July 2019, and the bridge is to be
completed in October 2021. The following data pertain to the construction period. ( Note that
by the end of 2020, Dolton has revised the estimated total cost from $5,000,000 to $5,050,000.)
2019 2020 2021
Costs incurred during the year $2,000,000 $1,916,000 $1,134,000
Estimated costs to complete 3,000,000 1,084,000 0

Cash collected during the year 1,750,000 2,750,000 3,000,000
Instructions:
a. Using the percentage-of-completion method, compute the estimated gross profit that
would be recognized during each year of the construction period.
b. Using the cost-recovery method, compute the estimated gross profit that would be
recognized during each year of the construction period.
Instructions:
a. Using the percentage-of-completion method, prepare schedules to compute the profit or
loss to be recognized as a result of this contract for the years ended December 31, 2019,
2020, and 2021. (Ignore income taxes.)
b. Using the cost-recovery method, prepare schedules to compute the profit or loss to be
recognized as a result of this contract for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2020, and
2021. (Ignore income taxes.)
Temporary difference (The cumulative tax amount will eventually balance out)
1. Deferred tax liability (happens because in pretax financial income we use accrual
method and for taxable income they use modified cash basis). Sometimes we find it
different because we have accounts receivable for our revenues.
Example: for 2011 in the book basis the revenue is $130,000 ($30,000 of it still on
account). The expense is $60,000, so the income for book basis is $70,000. Because in
tax basis the revenue that still on account doesn’t included yet, the income will be
$40,000 ($130,000-$30,000-$60,000) for tax basis. The tax rate is 40%.
The entry:
Income Tax Expense $28,000
Income Tax Payable $16,000
Deferred Tax Liability $12,000
Assuming the income tax payable is $100,000, so the income tax expense will be:
*deferred tax benefit: deferred tax asset at the beginning – at the end
The entry:
Income Tax Expense $80,000
It can be adjusted when that is probability that it will not realized. The entry:
Income Tax Expense xxx
Deferred Tax Asset xxx
Permanent Difference
(Some items are included in the pretax financial income but never into taxable income, or vice
versa). Thus the difference will be permanent and it should be adjusted into the pretax financial
income to revise the company’s Income tax expense.
Carry back
In 2010, A company incurs a NOL that it decides to carryback.
Tax benefit of loss carry back: $110,000 ($30,000 + $80,000).
The journal entry:
Since the $500,000 NOL for 2010 exceeds the $300,000 total taxable income from the two
preceding years, A carries forward the remaining $200,000 loss.
Carry forward
Tax benefit of loss carry forward: $200,000 (remaining amount of loss) x 40% = $80,000
(assuming future tax rate is 40%)
If the income for 2011 is $250,000, A will record the income taxes in 2011 as follow:
Income Tax Expense 100,000
Deferred Tax Asset 80,000
Income Tax Payable 20,000
If A didn’t recognize a deferred tax for loss carry forward, then he will record it in the time he
realized the deferred tax asset. Assume that he realize it in 2011, then the journal entry for loss
carry forward will be recorded in 2011.
Income Tax Expense 80,000
Deferred Tax Asset 80,000

A lessor may classify leases for accounting purposes as follows: (1) operating leases, (2) direct-
financing leases, and (3) sales-type leases. The lessor should classify and account for an
arrangement as a direct-financial lease or a sales-type lease if, at the date of the lease
arrangement, the lease meets one or more of the lease capitalization criteria.
The lessor classifies and accounts for all leases that fail to meet the criteria as operating leases.
Leases that are in substance the financing of an asset purchase by a lessee require the lessor to
substitute a “lease receivable” for the leased asset. “Lease receivable” is the present value of
the minimum lease payments plus the present value of the unguaranteed residual value.
Therefore, lessors include the residual value, whether guaranteed or unguaranteed, as part of
lease receivable.
The features of lease arrangements that cause unique accounting problems are (1) residual
values, (2) sales-type leases (lessor), (3) bargain-purchase options, (4) initial direct costs, (5)
current versus non-current, and (6) disclosure.
The disclosure requirements for lessees and lessors vary based upon the type of lease (finance
or operating) and whether the issuer is the lessor or lessee. These disclosure requirements
provide investors with the following information: (1) general description of the nature of
leasing arrangements; (2) the nature, timing, and amount of cash inflows and outflows
associated with leases, including payments to be paid or received in the next year, in years 2-5
and years thereafter; and (3) amounts receivable and unearned revenues under lease agreements
Residual Values
If the asset is not automatically passed to the lessee, or a bargain – purchase option is forgone
usually there would be a substantial amount of residual value that must be returned to the lessor.

By definition, a change in accounting policy involves a change from one accepted accounting
policy to another. Adoptions of a new policy in recognition of events that have occured for the
first time or that were previously immaterial is not a change in accounting policy. This type of
change is a correction of an error.
IASB requires that companies use the retrospective approach because it provides financial
statement users with more useful information than the cumulative effect or propective
approaches. The rationale is that changing the prior statements to be on the same basis as the
newly adopted policy results in greater consistency across accounting periods. Users can then
better compare results from one period to the next.
Illustration: Denson Company has accounted for its income from long-term construction
contracts using the cost-recovery method. In 2015, the company changed to the percentage-of-
completion method. Management believes this approach provides a more appropriate measure
of the income earned. For tax purposes, the company uses the cost-recovery method and plans
to continue doing so in the future. (Assume a 40 percent enacted tax rate.)
Direct Effects - IASB takes the position that companies should retrospectively apply the direct
effects of a change in accounting policy.
Indirect Effect is any change to current or future cash flows of a company that result from
making a change in accounting principle that is applied retrospectively.
Impracticability
Companies should not use retrospective application if one of the following conditions exists:
1. Company cannot determine the effects of the retrospective application.
2. Retrospective application requires assumptions about management’s intent in a prior
period.
3. Retrospective application requires significant estimates that the company cannot
develop.
ACCOUNTING ERRORS
Types of Accounting Errors:
1. A change from an accounting principle that is not generally accepted to an
accounting policy that is acceptable.
2. Mathematical mistakes.
3. Changes in estimates that occur because a company did not prepare the
estimates in good faith.
4. Failure to accrue or defer certain expenses or revenues.
5. Misuse of facts.
6. Incorrect classification of a cost as an expense instead of an asset, and vice
versa.
Building, 25-year estimated useful life, $4,500,000 cost, $350,000 residual value
Machinery, 10-year estimated useful life, $470,000 cost, no residual value
The building has been depreciated under the straight-line method through 2017. In 2018, the
company decided to switch to the double-declining balance method of depreciation for the
building. Neo Company also decided to change the total useful life of the machinery to 7 years,
with a residual value of $25,000 at the end of that time. The machinery is depreciated using the
straight-line method.
Instructions:
(a) Prepare the journal entry necessary to record the depreciation expense on the
building in 2018.
(b) Compute depreciation expense on the machinery for 2018.
