88. How would the company’s books be affected if the company’s accountant failed to make any closing entries?

ANSWER:   If closing entries were not made, after the first year it would be difficult to separate the revenue and expenses of one fiscal period from those of another fiscal period, because revenue and expenses would spill over from one period to another period. Also, it would not be possible to determine the current balance of the owner’s Capital account.

89. Compare and contrast a post-closing trial balance with a trial balance before closing.

ANSWER:   Both trial balances show whether or not the debits and credits are equal. The trial balance before closing contains the asset, liability, owner’s equity, revenue, and expense accounts. The post-closing trial balance is prepared after closing and contains only the real (permanent) accounts (asset, liability, and Capital accounts). The nominal (temporary) accounts are closed and do not have a balance. Also, the trial balance before closing does not have the current balance of the owner’s Capital account. The post-closing trial balance has an updated Capital account balance which includes net income (loss) and withdrawals.

90. Explain the differences between cash and accrual accounting methods.

ANSWER:   The cash basis of accounting records revenue when cash is received and expenses when cash is paid. Under the accrual method, revenues are recorded when earned, and expenses are recorded when incurred. This method is more complicated and time consuming than the cash method.
