ACCOUNTING IN ACTION EK EK
CHAPTER LEARNING OBJECTIVES EK EK
1. Identify the activities and users associated with accounting. Accounting is an information syst
EK EK EK EK EK EK EK EK EK EK EK EK
em that identifies, records, and communicates the economic events of an organization to interested
EK EK EK EK EK EK EK EK EK EK EK EK EK
users. The major users and uses of accounting are as follows: (a) Management uses accounting in
EK EK EK EK EK EK EK EK EK EK EK EK EK EK EK EK
formation to plan, organize, and run the business. (b) Investors (owners) decide whether to buy, h
EK EK EK EK EK EK EK EK EK EK EK EK EK EK EK
old, or sell their financial interests on the basis of accounting data. (c)Creditors (suppliers and ban
EK EK EK EK EK EK EK EK EK EK EK EK K
E EK EK EK
kers) evaluate the risks of granting credit or lending money on the basis of accounting informa
EK EK EK EK EK EK EK EK E K E K EK EK EK EK EK
tion. Other groups that use accounting information are taxing authorities, regulatory agencies, cus
EK EK EK EK EK EK EK EK EK EK EK EK
tomers, and labor unions. EK EK EK
2. Explain the building blocks of accounting: ethics, principles, and assumptions. Ethics are the
EK EK EK EK EK EK EK EK EK EK EK EK
standards of conduct by which actions are judged as right or wrong. Effective financial reporting
EK EK EK EK EK EK EK EK EK EK EK EK EK EK EK E
depends on sound ethical behavior.

Generally accepted accounting principles are a common set of standards used by accountants. The
EK EK EK EK EK EK EK EK EK EK EK EK EK
primary accounting standard-
EK EK EK
setting body in the United States is the Financial Accounting Standards Board.
EK EK EK EK EK EK EK EK EK EK EK
3. State the accounting equation, and define its components. The basic accounting equation is:
EK EK EK EK EK EK EK EK EK E K EK EK
Assets = Liabilities + Owner's Equity
EK EK EK EK EK
Assets are resources a business owns. Liabilities are creditorship claims on total assets.Ow
E K E K E K E K E K E K E K E K E K E K E K E K K
E
ner's equity is the ownership claim on total assets.
EK EK EK EK EK EK EK EK
The expanded accounting equation is:
EK EK EK EK
Assets EK EK Liabilities + Owner's Capital EK EK EK EK EK Owner's Drawings + Revenues EK EK EK EK
Expenses
Investments by owners (assets the owner puts into the business) are recorded in a category called
EK EK EK EK EK EK EK EK EK EK EK EK EK EK EK E
Kowner‘s capital. Owner‘s drawings are the withdrawal of assets by the owner for personal use. Re
EK EK EK EK EK EK EK EK EK EK EK EK EK EK EK
venues are the gross increase in owner‘s equity from business activities for the purpose of earning
EK EK EK EK EK EK EK EK EK EK EK EK EK EK EK
income. Expenses are the costs of assets consumed or services used in the process of earning
EK EK EK EK EK EK EK EK EK EK EK EK E K E K E K E K E K
revenue. Owner‘s equity is increased by an owner‘s investmentsand by revenues from busine
E K E K E K E K E K E K E K E K K
E EK EK EK EK
ss operations. Owner‘s equity is decreased by an owner‘s withdrawals of assets and by expenses.
EK EK EK EK EK EK EK EK EK EK EK EK EK EK
4. Analyze the effects of business transactions on the accounting equation. Each businesstransac
EK EK EK EK EK EK EK EK EK EK EK K
E
tion must have a dual effect on the accounting equation. For example, if an individual asset increa
EK EK EK EK EK EK EK EK EK EK EK EK EK EK EK EK
ses, there must be a corresponding (1) decrease in another asset, or (2) increase in a specific liabili
EK EK EK EK EK EK EK EK EK EK EK EK EK EK EK EK EK
ty, or (3) increase in owner's equity.
EK EK EK EK EK EK
5. Describe the four financial statements and how they are prepared. An income statement prese
EK EK EK EK EK EK EK EK EK EK EK EK EK
nts the revenues and expenses, and resulting net income or net loss for a specific period of tim
EK EK EK EK EK EK EK EK EK EK E K EK EK E K EK EK EK
e. An owner's equity statement summarizes the changes in owner's equity for a specific period of t
EK EK EK EK EK EK EK EK EK EK EK EK EK EK EK EK
ime. A balance sheet reports the assets, liabilities, and owner's equity at a specific date. A stateme
EK EK EK EK EK EK EK EK EK EK EK EK EK EK EK EK
nt of cash flows summarizes information about the cash inflows (receipts) and outflows (payments)
EK EK EK EK EK EK EK EK EK EK EK EK EK
for a specific period of time.
