1. True. Virtually every organization and person in our society uses accounting information.
f f f f f f f f f f f


Businesses, investors, creditors, government agencies, and not-for-profit organizations must use
f f f f f f f f f f


accounting information to operate effectively.
f f f f f

2. Accounting is the process of identifying, recording, and communicating the economic events of
f f f f f f f f f f f f


an organization to interested users of the information. The first activity of the accounting process is
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f


to identify economic events that are relevant to a particular business. Once identified and
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f


measured, the events are recorded to provide a history of the financial activities of the organization.
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f


Recording consists of keeping a chronological diary of these measured events in an orderly and
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f


systematic manner. The information is communicated through the preparation and distribution of
f f f f f f f f f f f f


accounting reports, the most common of which are called financial statements. A vital
f f f f f f f f f f f f f


element in the communication process is the accountant’s ability and responsibility to analyze and
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f


interpret the reported information.

3. (a) Internal users are those who plan, organize, and run the business and therefore are officers and
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f


other decision makers.
f f f


(b) To assist management, accounting provides internal reports. Examples include financial
f f f f f f f f f


comparisons of operating alternatives, projections of income from new sales campaigns, and
f f f f f f f f f f f f


forecasts of cash needs for the next year.

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


(b) Creditors use accounting information to evaluate the risks of granting credit or lending money. f f f f f f f f f f f f f

5. False. Bookkeeping usually involves only the recording of economic events and therefore is just
f f f f f f f f f f f f f


one part of the entire accounting process. Accounting, on the other hand, involves the entire
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f


process of identifying, recording, and communicating economic events.

6. Harper Travel Agency should report the land at $85,000 on its December 31, 2022 balance sheet.
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f


This is true not only at the time the land is purchased, but also over the time the land is held. In
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f


determining which measurement principle to use (historical cost or fair value) companies weigh the
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f


factual nature of cost figures versus the relevance of fair value. In general, companies use historical
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f


cost. Only in situations where assets are actively traded do companies apply the fair value
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f


principle.

7. The monetary unit assumption requires that only transaction data capable of being expressed in
f f f f f f f f f f f f f


terms of money be included in the accounting records. This assumption enables accounting to
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f


quantify (measure) economic events.

10. One of the advantages Juana would enjoy is that ownership of a corporation is represented by
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f


transferable shares of stock. This would allow Juana to raise money easily by selling a part of her
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f


ownership in the company. Another advantage is that because holders of the shares (stockholders)
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f


enjoy limited liability, they are not personally liable for the debts of the corporate entity. Also,
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f


because ownership can be transferred without dissolving the corporation, the corporation enjoys an

unlimited life.

LO f 3, f BT: f K, f Difficulty: f Easy, f TOT: f 2 f min., f AACSB: f None, f AICPA f FC: f Reporting, f IMA: f Reporting

12. (a) Assets are resources owned by a business. Liabilities are creditor claims against assets— that
ffff f f f f f f f f f f f f f


is, existing debts and obligations. Stockholders’ equity is the ownership claim on total assets.
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f

and f


expenses.

14. Yes, a business can enter into a transaction in which only the left side of the accounting equation is
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f


faffected. An example would be a transaction where an increase in one asset is offset
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f


fbya decrease in another asset. An increase in the Equipment account which is offset by a decrease
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f


in the Cash account is a specific example.

18. No, this treatment is not appropriate. While the transaction does involve a receipt of cash, it does
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f


not represent revenues. Revenues are the gross increase in stockholders’ equity resulting from
f f f f f f f f f f f f f


business activities entered into for the purpose of earning income. This transaction is simply an

revenues. In addition, net income appears on the retained earnings statement—it is shown as an

addition to the beginning-of-period retained earnings. Indirectly, the net income of a companyis also
