Proprietorships and partnerships receive favorable tax treatment compared to corporations and are easier to form than corporations. They are also owner controlled. Disadvantages of proprietorships and partnerships are unlimited liability (proprietors/partners are personally liable for all debts) and difficulty in obtaining financing compared to corporations. LO 1 BT: K Difficulty: E TOT: 1 min. AACSB: Knowledge AICPA BC: Governance Perspective 4. Yes.

LO 3 BT: K Difficulty: M TOT: 2 min. AACSB: Knowledge AICPA AC: Reporting 11. When a company pays dividends, it reduces the amount of assets available to pay creditors. Therefore, banks and other creditors monitor dividend payments to ensure they do not put a company’s ability to make debt payments at risk. LO 3 BT: C Difficulty: M TOT: 2 min. AACSB: Knowledge AICPA AC: Measurement Anallysis and Interpretation 12. Yes. Net income does appear on the income statement —it is the result of subtracting expenses from revenues. In addition, net income appears in the retained earnings statement —it is shown as an addition to the beginning -of-period retained earnings. Indirectly, the net income of a company is also included in the balance sheet. It is included in the retained earnings account which appears in the stockholders’ equity section of the balance sheet. LO 3 BT: C Difficulty: E TOT: 1 min. AACSB: Knowledge AICPA AC: Reporting 13. The primary purpose of the statement of cash flows is to provide financial information about the cash receipts and cash payments of a business for a specific period of time. LO 3 BT: K Difficulty: E TOT: 1 min. AACSB: Knowledge AICPA AC: Reporting 14. The three categories of 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 activities. LO 3 BT: C Difficulty: E TOT: 1 min. AACSB: Knowledge AICPA AC: Reporting 15. Retained earnings is the net income retained in a corporation. Retained earnings is increased by net income and is decreased by dividends and a net loss. LO 3 BT: C Difficulty: E TOT: 1 min. AACSB: Knowledge AICPA AC: Reporting 16. The basic accounting equation is Assets = Liabilities + Stockholders’ Equity. LO 3 BT: K Difficulty: E TOT: 1 min. AACSB: Knowledge AICPA AC: Reporting 17. (a) Assets are resources owned by a business. Liabilities are amounts owed to creditors. Put more simply, liabilities are existing debts and obligations. Stockholders’ equity is the ownership claim on net assets. (b) The items that affect stockholders’ equity are issuance of common stock and the components of retained earnings (dividends, revenues, and expenses). LO 3 BT: K Difficulty: E TOT: 2 min. AACSB: Knowledge AICPA AC: Reporting 18. The liabilities are (b) Accounts payable and (g) Salaries and wages payable. LO 3 BT: C Difficulty: E TOT: 1 min. AACSB: Knowledge AICPA AC: Reporting 19.
