CHAPTER 1 k




INTRODUCTION TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS k k k




CHAPTER LEARNING OBJECTIVES k k




1. Identify the forms of business organization and the uses of accounting information. A
k k k k k k k k k k k k



sole proprietorship is a business owned by one person. A partnership is a business owned by
k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k



two or more people associated as partners. A corporation is a separate legal entity for which
k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k



evidence of ownership is provided by shares of stock. Internal users are managers who need
k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k



accounting information to plan, organize, and run business operations. The primary external
k k k k k k k k k k k k



users are investors and creditors. Investors (stockholders) use accounting information to
k k k k k k k k k k k



decide whether to buy, hold, or sell shares of a company‘s stock. Creditors (suppliers and
k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k



bankers) use accounting information to assess the risk of granting credit or loaning money to a
k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k



business. Other groups who have an indirect interest in a business are taxing authorities,
k k k k k k k k k k k k k k



customers, labor unions, and regulatory agencies.
k k k k k k




2. Explain the three principal types of business activity. Financing activities involve collecting
k k k k k k k k k k k



the necessary funds to support the business. Investing activities involve acquiring the
k k k k k k k k k k k k



resources necessary to run the business. Operating activities involve putting the resources of
k k k k k k k k k k k k k



the business into action to generate a profit.
k k k k k k k k




3. Describe the four financial statements and how they are prepared. An income statement
k k k k k k k k k k k k



presents the revenues and expenses of a company for a specific period of time. A retained
k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k



earnings statement summarizes the changes in retained earnings that have occurred for a
k k k k k k k k k k k k k



specific period of time. A balance sheet reports the assets, liabilities, and stockholders‘ equity of
k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k



a business at a specific date. A statement of cash flows summarizes information concerning
k k k k k k k k k k k k k k



the cash inflows (receipts) and outflows (payments) for a specific period of time. Assets are
k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k



resources owned by a business. Liabilities are the debts and obligations of the business.
k k k k k k k k k k k k k k



Liabilities represent claims of creditors on the assets of the business. Stockholders‘ equity
k k k k k k k k k k k k k



represents the claims of owners on the assets of the business. Stockholders‘ equity is
k k k k k k k k k k k k k k



subdivided into two parts: common stock and retained earnings. The basic accounting equation
k k k k k k k k k k k k k



is Assets = Liabilities + Stockholders‘ Equity. Within the annual report, the management
k k k k k k k k k k k k k



discussion and analysis provides management‘s interpretation of the company‘s results and
k k k k k k k k k k k



financial position as well as a discussion of plans for the future. Notes to the financial
k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k



statements provide additional explanation or detail to make the financial statements more
k k k k k k k k k k k k



informative. The auditor‘s report expresses an opinion as to whether the financial statements
k k k k k k k k k k k k k



present fairly the company‘s results of operations and financial position.
k k k k k k k k k k




*4. Explain the career opportunities in accounting. Accounting offers many different jobs in
k k k k k k k k k k k k



fields such as public and private accounting, governmental, and forensic accounting.
k k k k k k k k k k k



Accounting is a popular major because there are many different types of jobs, with unlimited
k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k



potential for career advancement
