about solvency and creditworthiness.
l7 l7 l7 l7

and the tax authorities (that is, the Internal Revenue Service).
l 7 l 7 l 7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7




ACCURATE ANSWER:-False l7


Reasoning :->>->>>Demand for information extends to many users; the regulators such as the SEC
l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7


and the IRS are only one class of users.
l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7

l 7 l7 l 7 l7 l7 l 7 l 7 l7 l 7 l7 l 7 l7 l 7 l7 l 7 l 7


$175.3 million in cash. l7 l7 l7




ACCURATE ANSWER:-False l7


Reasoning:->>->>>The accounting equation requires total assets to equal total liabilities plus l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7


stockholders‘ equity. That does not imply, however, that liability and equity accounts relate directly
l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7


to specific assets.

, TOPIC:Balance
Sheet LO: 3
l7 l7 l7


6. A balance sheet shows a firm‘s position over a period of time, whereas an income statement,
l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7


statement of stockholders‘ equity, and statement of cash flows show its position at a point in
l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7


time.
l7




ACCURATE ANSWER:-False l7


Reasoning:->>->>>The statement is reversed: A balance sheet shows a firm‘s position at a point in l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7


time, whereas an income statement, statement of equity, and statement of cash flows show its
l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7


position over a period of time.

TOPIC:Accounting
Equation LO: 3
l7 l7 l7



7. Assets must always equal liabilities plus equity.

dividends have been paid.
l7 l7 l7 l7




ACCURATE ANSWER:-False l7


Reasoning:->>->>>The statement contains two errors. First, net income does not include any l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7


dividends during the period; these are a distribution of profits and not part of its calculation. Second,
l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7


the income statement is prepared on an accrual basis and thus includes expenses incurred (as
l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7


opposed to paid).

ACCURATE ANSWER:-False l7


Reasoning:->>->>>A statement of cash flows reports on cash flows for operating, investing, and l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7


financing activities over a period of time.

LO: 3
l7 l7

l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7




ACCURATE ANSWER:-True l7


Reasoning:->>->>>The statement of stockholders‘ equity reports on changes in the accounts that l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7 l7


make up stockholders‘ equity. This includes contributed capital, retained earnings, and other equity.
