Objectives:

1.      Introduce chapter on recording adjusting and closing entries for a service business and objectives of the chapter.

2.      Define terms associated with recording adjusting and closing entries, including adjusting entries, permanent accounts, temporary accounts, closing entries, post-closing trial balance, and accounting cycle.

3.         Record adjusting entries for a service business organized as a proprietorship.

 

Procedures:

1.      Greet students and take attendance:

Good morning/afternoon.  It's good to see everyone again.  Let's get started by quickly taking attendance so we can begin discussing chapter 9.

2.         Introduce Chapter:

Please open your books to page 198 so we can review the terms that we need to be familiar with.  We have used some of the terms in previous chapters, such as temporary accounts, permanent accounts, and the accounting cycle.  But adjusting and closing entries are new, as well as the post-closing trial balance. 

Define terms with students.

3.      Preview chapter objectives:

When we complete this chapter, each of you should be able to:

6.      Define the accounting terms related to adjusting and closing entries for a service business organized as a proprietorship.

9.      Record closing entries for a service business organized as a proprietorship.

10. Prepare a post-closing trial balance for a service business organized as a proprietorship.

4.      Explain the "why" of adjusting entries:

Last week we learned how to prepare worksheets and financial statements, these will tie into our adjusting entries because that is where we get the information for our entries.  So we have already done the hard part of analyzing and planning the adjustments, now we just have to do the proper recording of the adjustments.  The reason we make adjusting entries is to record in a journal and post to the ledger the adjustment data from the worksheet in order for the account balances to be updated.

5.      Review Worksheet & Make Adjusting Entries from Work Together problem on page 202:

View transparency on overhead.  Point out adjustments on worksheet and make adjusting entries to journal on transparency, complete general ledgers (use 4-step procedure).

6.      Seat Work:

Have students complete adjusting entries for On Your Own problem on page 202 using working papers.  Check solutions for accuracy and understanding.

7.      Contingency Plan:

Use flash cards to review terms and concepts.

8.      Assignment (2 minutes):

Your assignment for tomorrow will be to complete application problem 9-1 on page 217, which involves journalizing and posting adjusting entries.
