Chapter 1
Financial Statements and Business Decisions
Revised: November 23, 2025
ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS
1. Accounting is a system that collects and processes (analyzes, measures, and records)
financial information about an organization and reports that information to decision
makers.
2. Financial accounting involves the preparation of the basic financial statements and related
disclosures for external decision makers. Reporting is generally on a quarterly and annual
basis. Managerial accounting involves the preparation of detailed plans, budgets, forecasts,
and performance reports for internal decision makers. Reporting is on an ongoing basis.
3. Financial reports are used by both internal and external groups and individuals. The
internal users are the various managers of the entity, e.g. marketing, credit, and
purchasing. The external groups include the owners, investors, creditors, governmental
agencies, other interested parties, and the public at large.
4. Investors purchase all or part of a business and hope to gain by receiving part of what the
company earns and/or by selling their share of the company in the future at a higher price
than they paid. Creditors lend money to a company for a specific length of time and hope
to gain by charging interest on the loan.
5. An accounting entity is the organization for which financial data are to be collected. Typical
accounting entities are a business, a church, a governmental unit, a university, and other
nonprofit organizations such as a hospital. A business is defined and treated as a separate
entity because the owners, creditors, investors, and other interested parties need to
evaluate its performance and its potential separately from other entities and from its
owners.
6. Name of Statement Alternative Title
a. Statement of earnings Income statement
b. Statement of financial position Balance sheet
c. Statement of cash flows Cash flow statement
7. The heading of each of the four required financial statements should include the following:
(a) Name of the entity
(b) Title of the statement
(c) Specific date or the period of time it covers
(d) Unit of measure

8. (a) The purpose of the statement of earnings is to present information about the
revenues, expenses, and the net earnings of the entity for a specified period of time,
in order to help assess its financial performance during that period.
(b) The purpose of the statement of financial position is to report the financial position
of an entity at a given date, that is, to report information about the assets,
obligations, and shareholders’ equity of the entity as at a specific date.
(c) The statement of changes in equity reports the way that net earnings, the
distribution of net earnings (dividends), and other changes to shareholders’ equity
affected the company’s financial position during the accounting period. The focus in
this chapter is on retained earnings. Net earnings for the year increases the balance
of retained earnings whereas the declaration of dividends to the shareholders
decreases retained earnings.
(d) The purpose of the statement of cash flows is to present information about the flow
of cash into the entity (sources), the flow of cash out of the entity (uses), and the net
increase or decrease in cash during the period.
9. The statement of earnings and the statement of cash flows are dated “For the Year Ended
December 31” because they report the inflows and outflows of resources during a period
of time. In contrast, the statement of financial position is dated “At December 31” because
it represents the resources, obligations, and shareholders’ equity as at a specific date,
December 31.
10. Assets are important to investors and creditors because assets provide a basis for judging
whether sufficient resources are available to operate the company. Liabilities are
important to creditors and investors because the company must be able to generate
sufficient cash from operations or seek further borrowing to meet the payments required
by debt agreements. If a business does not pay its creditors, the law may give the creditors
the right to force the sale of assets sufficient to meet the creditors’ claims.
11. Net earnings is the excess of total revenues over total expenses. Net loss is the excess of
total expenses over total revenues.
12. The accounting equation for the statement of earnings is Revenues – Expenses = Net
earnings. Revenues result from the sale of goods and services to customers, regardless of
the timing of collection of cash from customers. Expenses represent the monetary value of
resources the entity used up, or consumed, to earn revenues during the period. Net
earnings is simply the excess of revenues over expenses.
