c c c c c c c c
creditors,customers, and the government.

2. The role of accounting is to provide information for managers to use in operating the
c c c c c c c c c c c c c c
business.In addition, accounting provides information to others to use in assessing the
c c c c c c c c c c c c c
economic performance and condition of the business.
c c c c c c c
3. The corporate form allows the company to obtain large amounts of resources by issuing
c c c c c c c c c c c c c
stock. For this reason, most companies that require large investments in property, plant, and
c c c c c c c c c c c c c c
equipment are organized as corporations.
c c c c c
4. No. The business entity concept limits the recording of economic data to transactions
c c c c c c c c c c c c
directlyaffecting the activities of the business. The payment of the interest of $4,500 is a
c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c
personaltransaction of Josh Reilly and should not be recorded by Dispatch Delivery Service.
c c c c c c c c c c c c c c
5. The land should be recorded at its cost of $167,500 to Reliable Repair Service. This is
c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c
consistent with the cost concept.

c c c c c c c c c c c c c c

7. An account receivable is a claim against a customer for goods or services sold. An account
c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c
payable is an amount owed to a creditor for goods or services purchased. Therefore, an
c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c
accountreceivable in the records of the seller is an account payable in the records of the
c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c
purchaser.
