ACCOUNTING IN ACTION b b




CHAPTER LEARNINGOBJECTIVES b b




1. Identify the activities and users associated with accounting. Accounting is an information system that
b b b b b b b b b b b b b




identifies, records, and communicates the economic events of an organization to interested users. The
b b b b b b b b b b b b b b




major users and uses of accounting are as follows: (a) Management uses accounting information to plan,
b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b




organize, and run the business. (b) Investors (owners) decide whether to buy, hold, or sell their financial
b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b




interests on the basis of accounting data. (c)Creditors (suppliers and bankers) evaluate the risks of granting
b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b




credit or lending money on the basis of accounting information. Other groups that use accounting
b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b




information are taxing authorities, regulatory agencies, customers, and labor unions.
b b b b b b b b b b




2. Explain the building blocks of accounting: ethics, principles, and assumptions. Ethics are the standards of
b b b b b b b b b b b b b b




conduct by which actions are judged as right or wrong. Effective financial reporting depends on sound
b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b




ethical behavior.
b b




Generally accepted accounting principles are a common set of standards used by accountants. The primary
b b b b b b b b b b b b b b




accounting standard-setting body in the United States is the Financial Accounting Standards Board.
b b b b b b b b b b b b b




3. State the accounting equation, and define its components. The basic accounting equation is:
b b b b b b b b b b b b




Assets= Liabilities + Owner's Equity b b b b b




Assets are resources a business owns. Liabilities are creditorship claims on total assets.Owner's
b b b b b b b b b b b b b




equity is the ownership claimon total assets.
b b b b b b b b




Theexpanded accounting equation is:
b b b b




Assets  Liabilities + Owner's Capital  Owner's Drawings + Revenues  b b b b b b b b b b b




Expenses
Investments by owners (assets the owner puts into the business) are recorded in a category called owner‘s
b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b




capital. Owner‘s drawings are the withdrawal of assets by the owner for personal use. Revenues are the
b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b




gross increase in owner‘s equity from business activities for the purpose of earning income. Expenses are
b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b




the costs of assets consumed or services used in the process of earning revenue. Owner‘s equity is
b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b




bincreased by an owner‘s investments and by revenues from business operations. Owner‘s equity is
b b b b b b b b b b b b b




decreased by an owner‘s withdrawals of assets and by expenses.
b b b b b b b b b b




4. Analyze the effects of business transactions on the accounting equation. Each business transaction must
b b b b b b b b b b b b b




have a dual effect on the accounting equation. For example, if an individual asset increases, there must be a
b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b




corresponding (1) decrease in another asset, or (2) increase in a specific liability, or (3) increase in owner's
b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b




equity.

5. Describe the four financial statements and how they are prepared. An income statement presents the
b b b b b b b b b b b b b b




revenues and expenses, and resulting net income or net loss for a specific period of time. An owner's
b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b




equity statement summarizes the changes in owner's equity for a specific period of time. A balance sheet
b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b




reports the assets, liabilities, and owner's equity at a specific date. A statement of cash flows summarizes
b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b




information about the cash inflows (receipts)and outflows (payments) for a specific period of time.
