CHAPTER 1 – INTRODUCTION TO ACCOUNTING

ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS

1. Advantages of company structure are limited liability (shareholders not being
personally liable for corporate debts), indefinite life, easy transferability of ownership
(through selling shares), and greater ability to raise funds. Disadvantages of a
company are the establishment costs and ongoing fees and increased government
regulations.

2. External users are those outside the business who have an interest in knowing about
the activities of the entity as resource providers, recipients of goods or services or
parties performing a review of oversight function. Examples include investors,

6. The three categories in the statement of cash flows are operating activities, investing
activities and financing activities. The categories were chosen because they
represent the three principal types of business activity.

7. Retained earnings is the profit retained in a company. Retained earnings is increased
by profit and is decreased by dividends and by losses.

8. The going concern principle lends credibility to the cost principle; otherwise items
