QUESTIONS

1- 1. a. The AICPA is an organization of CPAs that prior to 1973 accepted the
gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh



primary responsibility for the development of generally accepted
gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh



accounting principles. Their role was substantially reduced in 1973
gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh



when the Financial Accounting Standards Board was established.
gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh



Their role was further reduced with the establishment of the Public
g h gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh



Company Accounting Oversight Board was established in 2002.
gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh




b. The Financial Accounting Standards Board replaced the
gh gh gh gh gh gh



Accounting Principles Board as the primary rule-making body for
gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh



accounting standards. It is an independent organization and
gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh



includes members other than public accountants.
gh gh gh gh gh gh




c. The SEC has the authority to determine generally accepted
gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh



accounting principles and to regulate the accounting profession. The
gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh



SEC has elected to leave much of the determination of generally
gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh



accepted accounting principles to the private sector. The Financial
gh gh gh gh gh gh gh g h gh



Accounting Standards Board has played the major role in
gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh



establishing accounting standards since 1973. Regulation of the
gh gh gh gh gh g h gh gh



accounting profession was substantially turned over to the Public
gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh



Company Accounting Oversight Board in 2002.

1- 2.
gh Consistency is obtained through the application of the same
gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh



accounting principle from period to period. A change in principle
gh gh gh gh gh gh g h gh gh gh



requires statement disclosure.

1- 3.
gh The concept of historical cost determines the balance sheet valuation of
gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh



land. The realization concept requires that a transaction needs to occur for
gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh



the profit to be recognized.

,1- 6.
gh Generally accepted accounting principles do not apply when a firm does
gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh



not appear to be a going concern. If the decision is made that this is not
gh gh gh gh gh gh gh g h gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh



a going concern, then the use of GAAP would not be appropriate.
gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh




1- 7.
gh With the time period assumption, inaccuracies of accounting for the entity,
gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh



short of its complete life span, are accepted. The assumption is made that
gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh



the entity can be accounted for reasonably accurately for a particular period
gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh



of time. In other words, the decision is made to accept some inaccuracy
gh gh g h gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh



because of incomplete information about the future in exchange for more
gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh



timely reporting. The statements are considered to be meaningful because
gh gh g h gh gh gh gh gh gh gh



material inaccuracies are not acceptable.
gh gh gh gh gh




1- 8. g h g hIt is true that the only accurate way to account for the success or failure
gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh



gh of an entity is to accumulate all transactions from the opening of business
gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh



gh until the business eventually liquidates. But it is not necessary that the
gh gh gh gh g h gh gh gh gh gh gh



gh statements be completely accurate in order for them to be meaningful.

1- 9. a. A year that ends when operations are at a low ebb for the year.
gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh




b. The accounting time period is ended on December 31.
gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh




c. A twelve-month accounting period that ends at the end of a month
gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh



other than December 31.
gh gh gh gh




1-10. Money.

1-11. g h g hWhen money does not hold a stable value, the financial statements can
gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh



gh lose much of their significance. To the extent that money does not remain
gh gh gh gh g h gh gh gh gh gh gh gh



gh stable, it loses usefulness as the standard for measuring financial
gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh



gh transactions.

1-12. No. There is a problem with determining the index in order to adjust the
g h gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh



statements. The items that are included in the index must be
gh g h gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh



representative. In addition, the prices of items change because of various
gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh



factors, such as quality, technology, and inflation.
gh gh gh gh gh gh gh




Yes. A reasonable adjustment to the statements can be made for inflation.
gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh




1-13. False. An arbitrary write-off of inventory cannot be justified under the
g h gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh



conservatism concept. The conservatism concept can only be applied
gh gh g h gh gh gh gh gh gh



where there are alternative measurements and each of these alternative
gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh



measurements has reasonable support.
gh gh gh gh




1-14. Yes, inventory that has a market value below the historical cost should be
gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh



written down in order to recognize a loss. This is done based upon the
gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh g h gh gh gh gh gh



concept of conservatism. Losses that can be reasonably anticipated
gh gh gh g h gh gh gh gh gh



should be taken in order to reflect the least favorable effect on net
gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh

, income of the current period.
