, ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS
1. Yes, this is correct. Virtually every organization and person in our society uses accounting
information. Businesses, investors, creditors, government agencies, and not-for-profit organizations
must use accounting information to operate effectively.
LO1 BT: C Difficulty: Easy TOT: 2 min. AACSB: None AICPA FC: Reporting


2. Accounting is the process of identifying, recording, and communicating the economic events of
an organization to interested users of the information. The first step of the accounting process is
therefore to identify economic events that are relevant to a particular business. Once identified
and measured, the events are recorded to provide a history of the financial activities of the
organization. Recording consists of keeping a chronological diary of these measured events in an
orderly and systematic manner. The information is communicated through the preparation and
distribution of accounting reports, the most common of which are called financial statements.
A vital element in the communication process is the accountant’s ability and responsibility to
analyze and interpret the reported information.
LO1 BT: C Difficulty: Easy TOT: 4 min. AACSB: None AICPA FC: Reporting


3. (a) Internal users are those who plan, organize, and run the business and therefore are officers
and other decision makers.
(b) To assist management, managerial accounting provides internal reports. Examples include
financial comparisons of operating alternatives, projections of income from new sales
campaigns, and forecasts of cash needs for the next year.
LO1 BT: C Difficulty: Easy TOT: 2 min. AACSB: None AICPA FC: Reporting


4. (a) Investors (owners) use accounting information to make decisions to buy, hold, or sell
ownership shares of a company.
(b) Creditors use accounting information to evaluate the risks of granting credit or lending money.
LO1 BT: C Difficulty: Easy TOT: 2 min. AACSB: None AICPA FC: Reporting


5. No, this is incorrect. Bookkeeping usually involves only the recording of economic events and
therefore is just one part of the entire accounting process. Accounting, on the other hand, involves
the entire process of identifying, recording, and communicating economic events.
LO1 BT: C Difficulty: Easy TOT: 2 min. AACSB: None AICPA FC: Reporting


6. Benton Travel Agency should report the land at $90,000 on its December 31, 2020 balance
sheet. This is true not only at the time the land is purchased, but also over the time the land is
held. In determining which measurement principle to use (cost or fair value) companies weigh the
factual nature of cost figures versus the relevance of fair value. In general, companies use cost.
Only in situations where assets are actively traded do companies apply the fair value principle.
An important concept that accountants follow is the historical cost principle.
LO2 BT: C Difficulty: Easy TOT: 4 min. AACSB: None AICPA FC: Reporting


7. The monetary unit assumption requires that only transaction data that can be expressed in terms
of money be included in the accounting records. This assumption enables accounting to quantify
(measure) economic events.
LO2 BT: K Difficulty: Easy TOT: 2 min. AACSB: None AICPA FC: Reporting


8. The economic entity assumption requires that the activities of the entity be kept separate and
distinct from the activities of its owners and all other economic entities.

,Questions Chapter 1 (Continued)

9. The three basic forms of business organizations are: (1) proprietorship, (2) partnership, and
(3) corporation.
LO2 BT: K Difficulty: Easy TOT:1 min. AACSB: None AICPA FC: Reporting


10. One of the advantages Helen Rupp would enjoy is that ownership of a corporation is represented
by transferable shares of stock. This would allow Helen to raise money easily by selling
a part of her ownership in the company. Another advantage is that because holders of the shares
(stockholders) enjoy limited liability; they are not personally liable for the debts of the corporate
entity. Also, because ownership can be transferred without dissolving the corporation, the corporation
enjoys an unlimited life.
LO2 BT: K Difficulty: Easy TOT: 4 min. AACSB: None AICPA FC: Reporting


11. The basic accounting equation is Assets = Liabilities + Owner’s Equity.
LO3 BT: K Difficulty: Easy TOT: 1 min. AACSB: None AICPA FC: Measurement


12. (a) Assets are resources owned by a business. Liabilities are claims against assets. Put more
simply, liabilities are existing debts and obligations. Owner’s equity is the ownership claim
on total assets.
(b) Owner’s equity is affected by owner’s investments, drawings, revenues, and expenses.
LO3 BT: C Difficulty: Easy TOT: 2 min. AACSB: None AICPA FC: Reporting


13. The liabilities are: (b) Accounts payable and (g) Salaries and wages payable.
LO3 BT: C Difficulty: Easy TOT: 1 min. AACSB: None AICPA FC: Reporting


14. Yes, a business can enter into a transaction in which only the left side of the accounting equation
is affected. An example would be a transaction where an increase in one asset is offset by
a decrease in another asset. An increase in the Equipment account which is offset by a decrease
in the Cash account is a specific example.
LO4 BT: C Difficulty: Moderate TOT: 3 min. AACSB: None AICPA FC: Reporting


15. Business transactions are the economic events of the enterprise recorded by accountants
because they affect the basic accounting equation.
(a) The death of the owner of the company is not a business transaction as it does not affect
the basic accounting equation.
(b) Supplies purchased on account is a business transaction as it affects the basic accounting
equation.
(c) An employee being fired is not a business transaction as it does not affect the basic
accounting equation.
(d) A withdrawal of cash from the business is a business transaction as it affects the basic
accounting equation.
LO4 BT: C Difficulty: Moderate TOT: 4 min. AACSB: None AICPA FC: Reporting


16. (a) Decrease assets and decrease owner’s equity.
(b) Increase assets and decrease assets.
(c) Increase assets and increase owner’s equity.

17. (a) Income statement. (d) Balance sheet.
(b) Balance sheet. (e) Balance sheet and owner’s equity statement.
(c) Income statement. (f) Balance sheet.
LO5 BT: C Difficulty: Easy TOT: 2 min. AACSB: None AICPA FC: Reporting


18. No, this treatment is not proper. While the transaction does involve a receipt of cash, it does not
represent revenues. Revenues are the gross increase in owner’s equity resulting from business
activities entered into for the purpose of earning income. This transaction is simply an additional
investment made by the owner in the business.
LO4 BT: C Difficulty: Moderate TOT: 3 min. AACSB: None AICPA FC: Reporting


19. Yes. Net income does appear on the income statement—it is the result of subtracting expenses
from revenues. In addition, net income appears in the owner’s equity statement—it is shown as
an addition to the beginning-of-period capital. Indirectly, the net income of a company is also
included in the balance sheet. It is included in the capital account which appears in the owner’s
equity section of the balance sheet.

(c) $94,000 – $53,000 = $41,000 (Liabilities).
