,Chapter 1: Introducing Financial Accounting
True/False
Topic: Cost and benefits of disclosure
LO: 1
1. One reason companies are motivated to disclose financial information to external decision makers is
that it may lower financing and operating costs.
Answer: True
Rationale: For example, when a company applies for a loan, the bank uses the company’s financial
statements to help determine the appropriate interest rate. Without this financial information, a company
may have a higher cost of borrowing or not obtain the loan at all.
Topic: Demand for accounting information
LO: 1
2. Financial accounting is designed primarily for decision makers within the company.
Answer: False
Rationale: Financial accounting is designed primarily to provide information to decision makers outside
of the company, while managerial accounting is designed primarily for decision makers within the
company.
Topic: Investing activities
LO: 2
3. Investing activities are the acquiring and disposing of liabilities that a company needs in order to finance
its operating activities.
Answer: False
Rationale: Investing activities are the acquiring and disposing of assets that a company needs for the
production and sale of a company’s products and services.
Topic: Accounting equation
LO: 2
4. Assets must always equal liabilities plus stockholders’ equity.
Answer: True
Rationale: The accounting equation is Assets = Liabilities + Stockholders’ Equity. This relation must
always stay in balance.

6. Financing activities are defined as the acquiring and disposing of resources for the purpose
of selling products and services.

resources. Investing activities are defined as the acquiring and disposing of resources for the purpose

Topic: Retained earnings
LO: 3
8. Retained earnings are present on both the income statement and the statement of stockholders’ equity.
Answer: False
Rationale: Retained earnings are present in the statement of stockholders’ equity and the balance
sheet. The income statement represents current period earnings.
Topic: Balance sheet
LO: 3
9. If Beatty Company reports retained earnings of $242.6 million on its balance sheet, it will also
report $242.6 million in cash.
Answer: False
Rationale: The accounting equation requires total assets to equal total liabilities plus stockholders’
equity. That does not imply, however, that liability and equity accounts relate directly to specific assets.
