True/False


Topic: Users of Financial Statement Information
f f f f f

LO: 2
f f

1. Shareholders demand financial information primarily to assess profitability and risk whereas bankers
f f f f f f f f f f f

demand information primarily to assess cash flows to repay loan interest and principal.
f f f f f f f f f f f f f




Answer: True f

Rationale: While both shareholders and bankers are interested in all the information companies
f f f f f f f f f f f f

f f f f f f f f f f f f f f

solvency and creditworthiness.
f f f




Topic: Publicly Available Financial Reports
f f f f

LO: 2
f f

2. Publicly traded companies are required to provide quarterly financial reports directly to the public.
f f f f f f f f f f f f f




Answer: False f

Rationale: Companies provide electronic versions of quarterly financial statements to the SEC, which
f f f f f f f f f f f f

posts them to the Internet for the public to access them.
f f f f f f f f f f f




Topic: Users of Financial Statement Information
f f f f f

LO: 2

3. Publicly traded companies provide financial information primarily to satisfy the SEC and the
f f f f f f f f f f f f

tax authorities (that is, the Internal Revenue Service).
f f f f f f f f




Answer: False f

Rationale: Demand for information extends to many users; the regulators such as the SEC and the IRS

Topic: SEC Filings
f f

LO: 2
f f

4. Publicly traded companies must provide to the Securities Exchange Commission annual
f f f f f f f f f f

audited financial statements (10-K reports) and quarterly audited financial statements (10-Q reports).

Topic: Balance Sheet

LO: 3
f f

5. If a company reports retained earnings of $175.3 million on its balance sheet, it must also report
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f

$175.3 million in cash. f f f




Answer: False f

Rationale: The accounting equation requires total assets to equal total liabilities plus stockholders’
f f f f f f f f f f f f

equity. That does not imply, however, that liability and equity accounts relate directly to specific assets.

, Topic: Balance Sheet
f f

LO: 3
f f

6. A balance sheet shows a company’s position over a period of time, whereas an income statement,
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f

statement of stockholders’ equity, and statement of cash flows show its position at a point in time.
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f




Answer: False f

Rationale: The statement is reversed: A balance sheet shows a company’s position at a point in time,
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f

whereas an income statement, statement of equity, and statement of cash flows show its position over
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f

a period of time.
f f f f




Topic: Accounting Equation
f f

LO: 3
f f

7. Assets must always equal liabilities plus equity.
f f f f f f

Rationale: The accounting equation is Assets = Liabilities + Equity. This relation must always hold.
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f

f f

LO: 3
f f

8. The income statement reports net income which is defined as the company’s profit after all expenses
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f

and dividends have been paid.
f f f f f




Answer: False f

Rationale: The statement contains two errors. First, net income does not include any dividends during
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f

the period; these are a distribution of profits and not part of its calculation. Second, the income
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f

statement is prepared on an accrual basis and thus includes expenses incurred (as opposed to paid).
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f
