Accounting Fundamentals II
Course Syllabus
Accounts Payable
In this lesson, you will learn all about accounts payable. You will be journalizing and posting your company’s purchases and preparing a Schedule of Accounts Payable. This lesson will give you the tools you need to successfully track those accounts.
Accounts Receivable
In this lesson you will take a close look at accounts receivable. After completing this lesson, you will know how to enter charge sales into your Sales Journal and then post them to your General Ledger. You will have also learned how to journalize payments on account received from your charge customers.
Uncollectible Accounts Receivable
In this lesson you will learn about uncollectible accounts receivable. While many believe customers will always pay what they owe, that is not always the case. You will learn how to account for long overdue receivables that probably won’t ever be paid.
Plant Assets and Depreciation
In this lesson, you will learn about plant assets and depreciation. Just like your car, business assets depreciate over time, so you will need to know how to account for that expense in your records. You will also need to record these assets and calculate their depreciation in a timely manner.
Notes Payable and Notes Receivable
This lesson is all about notes payable and notes receivable. You will learn all you need to know about accounting for these situations as you learn how to record the issuance and payment of these notes payables and notes receivables.
Accrued Income and Accrued Expenses
In this lesson, you will learn how to deal with accrued income and accrued expenses. Accrued income is money that the company earns in one fiscal period but doesn’t receive until after another fiscal period begins.
Dividends and Starting the Year-End Worksheet
In this lesson, you will be dealing with dividends, which is money paid to the company’s stockholders on their investment. You will learn how the business accounts for the dividends it pays to its stockholders. You will also look at retained earnings, or the amount of profit the corporation retains for future use.
Complete Year-End Worksheet With Adjustments
In this lesson, you will determine whether your business has a net income or a net loss by completing the worksheet started in the previous lesson. Because many General Ledger accounts change throughout the fiscal period, you will also need to bring these accounts up to date.
End-Of-Fiscal-Period Financial Reports
It’s time to begin wrapping up your books for the end of the fiscal period. In this lesson, you will learn how to compile most of the various financial reports a corporation needs to complete at the end of the fiscal period.
Adjusting and Closing Entries and Post Closing Trial Balance
In this lesson, you will get the books all caught up and ready for the next fiscal period. You will go back and journalize those adjusting entries you entered into your worksheet, then you will enter closing entries into your journal.
Preparing a Payroll
This lesson covers every employee’s favorite subject: Payroll. You will learn about various mandatory and voluntary deductions from employees’ pay, as well as how to journalize and post an entire payroll. As an added bonus, after this lesson, you will be able to check the accuracy of your own paycheck.
Preparing Federal Tax Deposits and Year-End Tax Reports
The final lesson focuses on preparing a variety of end-of-year tax reports. Here’s your chance to go step-by-step through a multitude of IRS forms with instructions that are much easier to understand. You will fill out the federal Form 941, then learn how to make federal income tax deposits.
