Correct!
True
Businesses add value by converting financial, physical, and labor resources into
goods and services that consumers want. For example, a homebuilder may borrow
$150,000 from a bank and spend the money to buy labor and materials to build a
house. The house may sell for $180,000 because a completed house is more
valuable than unconverted labor and materials. In this case, the profit is $30,000

Question 4
pts

statements in accordance with a reporting framework (e.g. GAAP).
True
Correct!
False
The primary purpose of managerial accounting is to assist mangers within the
Company in determining how much it costs to acquire resources and convert them
into saleable goods and services. There are no official rules for managerial
accounting; the type and quantity of information collected and used by
management is at their discretion. In contrast, financial accounting information is
prepared in accordance with a reporting framework (e.g. G.A.A.P.) and primarily
utilized by investors and creditors that are external to the Company. These parties
rely on financial information to assist them in deciding whether to provide resources
to the Company.
Question 5
pts
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) are designed to provide
guidance for
Correct!
financial accounting
Financial accounting reports are prepared for external users. Since the users
operate outside the confines of a company they are not privy to the way
management chooses to report accounting events. For example, suppose a
company provides a service to a customer in year one but does not collect cash
from its customer until year two. One company may decide to report revenue when
the company earned it while another company may decide it is better to wait until
the company receives the cash in year two. An external user would need to know
how each company chooses to report its earnings in order to make comparisons
between the companies. This is just one example of many alternative reporting
,methods that may be used to report on a variety of accounting transactions. To
promote comparisons between companies, users need a standardized set of
reporting rules. The rules that have evolved over time are called Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles (GAAP). Since internal users are familiar with their company’s
reporting practices, there is no need to establish a set of rules for reporting
managerial accounting practices. Tax rules are established by laws not GAAP and
audit rules cover audit practice not financial reporting.
