(1) The normal balance for Income Summary will be credit when there is a net income, debit when there is a net loss. The
Income Summary account does not appear on any fi nancial statement.
(2) If a periodic system is used, Inventory also appears on the income statement in the calculation of cost of goods sold.
The following is a sample chart of accounts. It does not represent a comprehensive chart of all the accounts used in
this textbook but rather those accounts that are commonly used. This sample chart of accounts is for a company that
generates both service revenue as well as sales revenue. It uses the perpetual approach to inventory. If a periodic
system was used, the following temporary accounts would be needed to record inventory purchases: Purchases,
Freight-In, Purchase Returns and Allowances, and Purchase Discounts.

From the Authors
Dear Student,
Why This Course? Remember your biology course in high school? Did you have one
of those “invisible man” models (or maybe something more high-tech than that) that
gave you the opportunity to look “inside” the human body? This accounting course
offers something similar. To understand a business, you have to understand the financial
insides of a business organization. An accounting course will help you understand
the essential financial components of businesses. Whether you are looking at a large
multinational company like TSMC or Apple or a single-owner software consulting business
or coffee shop, knowing the fundamentals of accounting will help you understand
what is happening. As an employee, a manager, an investor, a business owner, or a
director of your own personal finances—any of
which roles you will have at some point in your

timely, and accurate.
How to Succeed? We've asked many students and many instructors whether there is
a secret for success in this course. The nearly unanimous answer turns out to be not
much of a secret: “Do the homework.” This is one course where doing is learning. The
more time you spend on the homework assignments—using the various tools that this
textbook provides—the more likely you are to learn the essential concepts, techniques,
and methods of accounting. Besides the textbook itself, WileyPLUS and the book's
companion website also offers various support resources.
Good luck in this course. We hope you enjoy the experience and that you put to good
use throughout a lifetime of success the knowledge you obtain in this course. We are
sure you will not be disappointed.

Practice Made Simple
The Team for Success is focused on helping students get the most out of their
accounting course by making practice simple. Both in the printed text and the
online environment of WileyPLUS, new opportunities for self-guided practice
allow students to check their knowledge of accounting concepts, skills, and
problem-solving techniques as they receive individual feedback at the question,
learning objective, and course level.
Personalized Practice
Based on cognitive science, WileyPLUS with ORION is a personalized, adaptive
learning experience that gives students the practice they need to build
profi ciency on topics while using their study time most effectively. The
adaptive engine is powered by hundreds of unique questions per chapter,
giving students endless opportunities for practice throughout the course.
