In Illustration 5, we present a classified income statement that would probably be distributed only to the company’s managers because of the details that it includes. The sales and cost of goods sold sections are the same as the calculations presented earlier in the chapter. The difference between the net sales and cost of goods sold is the gross profit for the year.

Also notice that the operating expenses section classifies the expenses into two categories. Selling expenses include the expenses of promoting sales through displaying and advertising the merchandise, making sales, and deliv­_ulfil goods to customers. General and administrative expenses support the overall operations of a business and include the expenses of such activities as accounting, human resource management, and financial management.

Some expenses may be divided between categories because they contrib­ute to both activities. For example, Illustration 5 reflects the fact that Meg’s Mart divided the total rent expense of $9,000 for its store building between the two categories. Ninety percent ($8,100) was selling expense and the remaining 10% ($900) was general and administrative expense. The cost allocation should reflect an economic relationship between the prorated amounts and the activities. For example, the allocation in this case could be based on relative rental values.

In Illustration 6, we use the multiple-step income statement format that would probably be used in external reports. The only difference between this format and the one in Illustration 5 is that it leaves out the detailed calcula­tions of net sales and cost of goods sold. The format is called multiple-step because it shows several intermediate totals between sales and net income.

In contrast, we present a single-step income statement for Meg’s Mart in Illustration 7. This simpler format presents only one intermediate total for total operating expenses.

In practice, many companies use combination formats that have some of the features of both the single- and multiple-step statements.

Closing Entries for Merchandising Companies

To help understand how information flows through the accounting system into the financial statements, we now discuss the process for closing the tem­porary accounts of merchandising companies. The process is demonstrated with data from the adjusted trial balance for Meg’s Mart in Illustration 8. In addition, the accountant knows from a physical count that the cost of the end­ing inventory is $21,000.

The trial balance includes these unique accounts for merchandising activ­ities: Merchandise Inventory, Sales, Sales Returns and Allowances, Sales Dis­counts, Purchases, Purchases Returns and Allowances, Purchases Discounts, and Transportation-In. Their presence in the ledger causes the closing entries to be slightly different from the ones described in Chapter 4. However, the process still consists of four steps.

Step 1—Record the Ending Inventory and Close the Temporary Accounts That Have Credit Balances

The first step accomplishes two goals: First, it adds the $21,000 cost of the ending inventory to the balance of the Merchandise Inventory account. Sec­ond, it closes the temporary accounts that have credit balances, including the Sales account and the two contra-purchases accounts. The first closing entry for Meg's Mart is

Dec. 31 Merchandise Inventory…………………..21,000.00

Sales.............. ……………….. 321,000.00

Purchases Returns and Allowances…… 1,500.00

Purchases Discounts ………………. 4,200.00

Income Summary ………………. 347,700.00

To close temporary accounts with credit

balances and record the ending inventory

Posting this entry gives zero balances to the three temporary accounts that had credit balances in the adjusted trial balance. It also momentarily increases the balance of the Merchandise Inventory account to $40,000. How­ever the next entry reduces the balance of this account.

Step 2—Remove the Beginning Inventory and Close the TemporaryAccounts That Have Debit Balances

The second step also accomplishes two results: First, it subtracts the cost of the beginning inventory from the Merchandise Inventory account. Second, it closes the temporary accounts that have debit balances, including the ex­pense accounts, the two contra-sales accounts, the Purchases account, and the Transportation-In account. The second closing entry for Meg’s Mart is

Dec. 31 Income Summary.. ………………………326,200.00

Merchandise Inventory……………………… 19,000.00

Sales Returns and Allowances………………. 2,000.00

Sales Discounts..... ……………………… 4,300.00

Purchases ............ ……………………… 235,800.00

Transportation-In.. ……………………… 2,300.00

Depreciation Expense, Store Equipment….. 3,000.00

Depreciation Expense, Office Equipment…. 700.00

Office Salaries Expense 25,300.00

Sales Salaries Expense………………………. 18,500.00

Insurance Expense ……………………… 600.00

Rent Expense, Office Space………………… 900.00

Rent Expense, Selling Space………………. 8,100.00

Office Supplies Expense…………………… 1,800.00

Store Supplies Expense…………………… 1,200.00

Advertising Expense 2,700.00

To close temporary accounts with debit balances and

to remove the beginning inventory balance

Posting this entry reduces the balance of the Merchandise Inventory account down to $21,000, which is the amount produced by the physical count at De­cember 31,19X2. It also gives zero balances to the 14 temporary accounts that had debit balances.

The following Merchandise Inventory account shows you how the first two closing entries create an ending balance equal to the $21,000 cost provided by the physical count:

Merchandise InventoryAcct. No. 119
Date Explanation Debit Credit Balance
19X1
Dec. 31 Ending balance for 19X1 19,000.00
19X2
Dec. 31 First closing entry 21,000.00 40,000.00
31 Second closing entry (Ending balance for 19X2) 19,000.00 21,000.00

As mentioned earlier in the chapter, this account has the $21,000 balance throughout 19X3 until the accounts are closed at the end of that year.

Step 3—Close the Income Summary Account to the Owner’s Capital Account

The third closing entry for a merchandising company is the same as the third closing entry for a service company. Specifically, it closes the Income Summary account and updates the balance of the owner’s capital account. The third closing entry for Meg’s Mart is

Dec. 31 Income Summary………………………………….. 21,500.00

Meg Harlowe, Capital………………………. 21,500.00

To close the Income Summary account

The amount in the entry equals the net income reported on the income statement.

Step 4—Close the Owner’s Withdrawals Account to the Owner’s Capital Account

The fourth closing entry for a merchandising company is the same as the fourth closing entry for a service company. Specifically, it closes the owner’s withdrawals account and reduces the balance of the owner’s capital account to the amount shown on the balance sheet. The fourth closing entry for Meg’s Mart is

Dec. 31 Meg Harlowe, Capital …………………4,000.00

Meg Harlowe, Withdrawals ………………. 4,000.00

To close the withdrawals account

When this entry is posted, all the temporary accounts are cleared and ready to record events in 19X3. In addition, the owner’s capital account has been fully updated to reflect the events of 19X2.

A Work Sheet for a Merchandising Company

Illustration 9 presents a version of the work sheet that the accountant for Meg’s Mart could prepare in the process of developing its 19X2 financial state­ments. It differs in two ways from the 10-column work sheet described in Chapter 4.

Totals 347,700 347,700 79,700 79,700

The first difference is the deletion of the adjusted trial balance columns. This simplification has nothing to do with the fact that Meg’s Mart is a retail business. This commonly used format is designed to simplify the work sheet by reducing its size. The omission of the columns causes the accountant to first compute the adjusted balances and then extend them directly into the finan­cial statement columns.
