juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki
of the entity. The external groups include the owners, investors,
juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki
creditors, governmental agencies, other interested parties, and the public
juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki
at large.

4. Investors purchase all or part of a business and hope to gain by
juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki
receiving part of what the company earns and/or selling their
juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki
ownership interest in the company in the future at a higher price than
juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki
they paid. Creditors lend money to a company for a specific length of
juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki
time and hope to gain by charging interest on the loan.

, 5. In a society, each organization can be defined as a separate accounting
juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki
entity. An accounting entity is the organization for which financial data
juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki
are to be collected. Typical accounting entities are a business, a church,
juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki
a governmental unit, a university and other nonprofit organizations such
juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki
as a hospital and a welfare organization. A business typically is defined
juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki
and treated as a separate entity because the owners, creditors, investors,
juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki
and other interested parties need to evaluate its performance and its
juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki
potential separately from other entities and from its owners.

juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki
include the following:
juki juki juki juki
(a) Name of the entity juki juki juki juki
(b) Name of the statement juki juki juki juki
(c) Date of the statement, or the period of time
juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki
(d) Unit of measure juki juki juki
8. (a) The purpose of the income statement is to present information
juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki
about the revenues, expenses, and the net income of an entity for
juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki
a specified period of time.
juki juki juki juki juki juki
(b) The purpose of the balance sheet is to report the financial position
juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki
of an entity at a given date, that is, to report information about the
juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki
assets, liabilities and stockholders’ equity of the entity as of a
juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki
specific date.
juki juki juki
(c) The purpose of the statement of cash flows is to present information
juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki
about the flow of cash into the entity (sources), the flow of cash
juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki
out of the entity (uses), and the net increase or decrease in cash
juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki
during the period.
juki juki juki juki
(d) The statement of stockholders’ equity reports the changes in each of
juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki
the company’s stockholders’ equity accounts during the accounting
juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki
period, including issue and repurchase of stock and the way that
juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki
net income and distribution of dividends affected the retained
juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki
earnings of the company during that period.
juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki
9. The income statement and the statement of cash flows are dated ―For
juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki
the Year Ended December 31‖ because they report the inflows and
juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki
outflows of resources during a period of time. In contrast, the balance
juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki
sheet is dated ―At December 31‖because it represents the resources,
juki juki juki juki juki juki iju
k juki juki juki juki
obligations, and stockholders’ equity at a specific date.
juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki

, 10. Assets are important to creditors and investors because assets provide a
juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki
basis for judging whether sufficient resources are available to operate
juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki
the company. Assets are also important because they could be sold for
juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki
cash in the event the company goes out of business. Liabilities are
juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki
important to creditors and investors because the company must be able
juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki
to generate sufficient cash from operations or further borrowing to
juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki
meet the payments required by debt agreements. If a business does not
juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki
pay its creditors, the law may give the creditors the right to force the
juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki
sale of assets sufficient to meet their claims.
juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki
11. Net income is the excess of total revenues over total expenses. Net
juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki
loss is the excess of total expenses over total revenues.
juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki
12. The equation for the income statement is Revenues - Expenses = Net
juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki
Income (or Net Loss if the amount is negative). Thus, the three major
juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki
items reported on the income statement are (1) revenues, (2) expenses,
juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki
and (3) net income.
juki juki juki juki juki
13. The equation for the balance sheet (also known as the basic accounting
juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki
equation) is: Assets = Liabilities + Stockholders’ Equity. Assets are the
juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki
probable (expected) future economic benefits owned by the entity as a
juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki
result of past transactions. They are the resources owned by the
juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki
business at a given point in time such as cash, receivables, inventory,
juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki
machinery, buildings, land, and patents. Liabilities are probable
juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki
(expected) debts or obligations of the entity as a result of past
juki juki juki ju ki juki juki juki ju ki juki juki juki ju ki
transactions that will be paid with assets or services in the future. They
juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki
are the obligations of the entity such as accounts payable, notes payable,
juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki
and bonds payable. Stockholders’ equity is financing provided by owners
juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki
of the business and operations. It is the claim of the owners to the
juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki
assets of the business after the creditors’ claims have been satisfied. It
juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki
may be thought of as the residual interest because it represents assets
juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki
minus liabilities.

14. The equation for the statement of cash flows is: Cash flows from operating
juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki
activities
juki juki
+ Cash flows from investing activities + Cash flows from financing
juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki
activities = Change in cash for the period. The net cash flows for the
juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki
period represent the increase or decrease in cash that occurred during
juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki
the period. Cash flows from operating activities are cash flows directly
juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki
related to earning income (normal business activity including interest
juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki
paid and income taxes paid). Cash flows from investing activities
juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki
include cash flows that are related to the acquisition or sale of
juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki
productive assets used by the company. Cash flows from financing
juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki
activities are directly related to the financing of the enterprise itself.
juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki
15. The retained earnings equation is: Beginning Retained Earnings + Net
juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki
Income - Dividends = Ending Retained Earnings. It begins with
juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki
ju
, beginning-of-the-year Retained Earnings which is the prior year’s
juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki
ending retained earnings reported on the balance sheet. The current
juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki
year's Net Income reported on the income statement is added and the
juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki
current year's Dividends are subtracted from this amount. The ending
juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki
Retained Earnings amount is reported on the end-of-period balance
juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki juki
sheet.
