ACCOUNTING IN ACTION >2 >2
CHAPTER LEARNING OBJECTIVES >2 >2
1. Identify the activities and users associated with accounting. Accounting is an information system
>2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2
that identifies, records, and communicates the economic events of an organization to interested
>2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2
users. The major users and uses of accounting are as follows: (a) Management uses accounting
>2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2
information to plan, organize, and run the business. (b) Investors (owners) decide whether to
>2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2
buy, hold, or sell their financial interests on the basis of accounting data. (c) Creditors (suppliers
>2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2
and bankers) evaluate the risks of granting credit or lending money on the basis of
>2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2 > 2 > 2 >2 >2 >2
accounting information. Other groups that use accounting information are taxing authorities,
>2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2
regulatory agencies, customers, and labor unions.
>2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2
2. Explain the building blocks of accounting: ethics, principles, and assumptions. Ethics are the
>2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2
standards of conduct by which actions are judged as right or wrong. Effective financial reporting
>2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2
depends on sound ethical behavior.
>2 >2 >2 >2 >2
Generally accepted accounting principles are a common set of standards used by accountants.
>2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2
The primary accounting standard-setting body in the United States is the Financial Accounting
>2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2
Standards Board.
>2 >2
3. State the accounting equation, and define its components. The basic
>2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2 > 2 accounting equation is: >2 >2
Assets = Liabilities + Owner's Equity
>2 >2 >2 >2 >2
Assets are resources a business owns. Liabilities are creditorship claims on total
> 2 > 2 > 2 > 2 > 2 > 2 > 2 > 2 > 2 > 2 > 2
assets.Owner's equity is the ownership claim on total assets.
> 2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2
The expanded accounting equation is:
>2 >2 >2 >2
Assets >2 Liabilities + Owner's Capital
>2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2 Owner's Drawings + Revenues >2 >2 >2 >2
Expenses
Investments by owners (assets the owner puts into the business) are recorded in a category called
>2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2
owner‘s capital. Owner‘s drawings are the withdrawal of assets by the owner for personal use.
>2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2
Revenues are the gross increase in owner‘s equity from business activities for the purpose of
>2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2
earning income. Expenses are the costs of assets consumed or services used in the process of
>2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2 > 2 > 2 >2
earning revenue. Owner‘s equity is increased by an owner‘s investments and by
> 2 > 2 > 2 > 2 > 2 > 2 > 2 > 2 > 2 > 2 >2 >2
revenues from business operations. Owner‘s equity is decreased by an owner‘s withdrawals of
>2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2
assets and by expenses.
>2 >2 >2 >2
4. Analyze the effects of business transactions on the accounting equation. Each businesstransaction
>2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2
must have a dual effect on the accounting equation. For example, if an individual asset increases,
>2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2
there must be a corresponding (1) decrease in another asset, or (2) increase in a specific liability,
>2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2
or (3) increase in owner's equity.
>2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2
5. Describe the four financial statements and how they are prepared. An income statement
>2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2
presents the revenues and expenses, and resulting net income or net loss for a specific
>2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2 > 2 >2 >2 > 2
period of time. An owner's equity statement summarizes the changes in owner's equity for a
>2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2
specific period of time. A balance sheet reports the assets, liabilities, and owner's equity at a
>2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2 >2
specific date. A statement of cash flows summarizes information about the cash inflows (receipts)
