    @pigeonwing9172 4 роки тому +1

    Hi James, if you go to 4:05 in the video you can see it's blank in AB in September for expenses. What if you continually buy loads and loads of supply in a month only to have not seen your continually increasing expenses till the next month or the month after that because the product has not yet been sold? Then, what if your product does not get sold out because the consumer reneges on the deal. I see this is a disadvantage of AB, but how do you deal with this if you use AB? (accruals basis)
    Also, can you confirm that this is a disadvantage of AB, that if consumers renege on deals, businesses are screwed due to no logging of expenses?

    • @pigeonwing9172
      @pigeonwing9172 4 роки тому

      Nevermind, I see that revenue is also, on the flipside in generation, only ecognised as transactions occur therefore you won;y buy that much till you actually have laready made sells

    • @AccountingStuff
      @AccountingStuff  4 роки тому

      You've spotted a major risk in the balance sheet. Anything that is recognised as an 'Asset' is a debit which needs to be justified. If an Asset isn't expected to bring any future economic benefit then the debit should be transferred to the income statement i.e. written off as an expense. In reality business's make provisions against inventory that could potentially be obsolete and eventually write them off

      @@AccountingStuff Thanks for this video. I'm just also wondering what happens under the accruals basis if you have stock you buy and expect to hold and sell in the medium to long term. Is there a particular way you can record this so that you can claim the expense in the immediate term rather than months and years ahead?

    Recession is most likely the result of an external factor. For the first time in decades, the United States is losing its clout as a federal reserve currency. They don't have any more economies to use to control inflation, and less money is being spent on stock and oil trading than in the past. They all lend support to the idea that a new multilateral world order is in the works.

    Hi James. I found your videos two days ago and have been binge watching ever since. I'm a new bookkeeper and am learning so much from you. I have a question about my client who owns a restaurant. She wants to use the accrual basis for her books, she's an S Corp, and her CPA files income tax on cash basis. My question is this: at the end of a month if she buys a big order of food ingredients, how can I possibly know how much of that food is used for meals sold that month vs. meals sold in the first week of the next month? Do people really do that. She buys so much food and beverage and if it's done late enough in the month you can bet that some of it gets used in the next period. How do people do that? Thank you.
