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

2. Accounting is the process of identifying, recording, and communicating the economic events of an
n n n n n n n n n n n n n
organization to interested users of the information. The first activity of the accounting process is to identify
n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n
economic events that are relevant to a particular business. Once identified and measured, the events are
n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n
recorded to provide a history of the financial activities of the organization. Recording consists of keeping a
n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n
chronological diary of these measured events in an orderly and systematic manner. The information is
n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n
communicated through the preparation and distribution of accounting reports, the most common of
n n n n n n n n n n n n n
nwhich are called financial statements. A vital element in the communication process is the accountant’s
n n n n n n n n n n n n n n
ability and responsibility to analyze and interpret the reported information.

3. (a) Internal users are those who plan, organize, and run the business and therefore are officers and other
n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n
decision makers. n n
(b) To assist management, accounting provides internal reports. Examples include financial comparisons
n n n n n n n n n n
of operating alternatives, projections of income from new sales campaigns, and forecasts of cash
n n n n n n n n n n n n n n
needs for the next year.

5. False. Bookkeeping usually involves only the recording of economic events and therefore is just one part of
n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n
the entire accounting process. Accounting, on the other hand, involves the entire process of identifying,
n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n
recording, and communicating economic events.

6. Harper Travel Agency should report the land at $85,000 on its December 31, 2022 balance sheet. This is
n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n
true not only at the time the land is purchased, but also over the time the land is held. In determining which
n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n
measurement principle to use (historical cost or fair value) companies weigh the factual nature of cost
n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n
figures versus the relevance of fair value. In general, companies use historical cost. Only in situations where
n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n
assets are actively traded do companies apply the fair value principle.

7. The monetary unit assumption requires that only transaction data capable of being expressed in terms of
n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n
money be included in the accounting records. This assumption enables accounting to quantify (measure)

economic events.
