1. True. Virtually every organization and person in our society uses accounting information. Businesses,
g g g g g g g g g g g g
inve stors, creditors, government agencies, and not-for-
g g g g g g g

2. Accounting is the process of identifying, recording, and communicating the economic events of an
g g g g g g g g g g g g g
organ ization to interested users of the information. The first activity of the accounting process is to
g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g
identify eco nomic events that are relevant to a particular business. Once identified and measured, the
g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g
events are rec orded to provide a history of the financial activities of the organization. Recording
g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g
consists of keeping a c hronological diary of these measured events in anorderly and systematic
g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g
manner. The information is com municated through the preparation and distribution of accounting
g g g g g g g g g g g g g
greports, the most common of whic h are called financial statements.A vital element in the
g g g g g g g g g g g g g g
communication process is the accountant’s ability and responsibility to analyze and interpret the
g g g g g g g g g g g g g
reported information.

3. (a) Internal users are those who plan, organize, and run the business and therefore are officers and
g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g
other decision makers.g g g
(b) To assist management, accounting provides internal reports. Examples include financial
g g g g g g g g g g
comparison s of operating alternatives, projections of income from new sales campaigns,and
g g g g g g g g g g g g
forecasts of cash needs for the next year.

5. False. Bookkeeping usually involves only the recording of economic events and therefore is just one part
g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g
gof the entire accounting process. Accounting, on the other hand, involves the entire process of
g g g g g g g g g g g g g g
gidentifying
, recording, and communicating economic events.

6. Harper Travel Agency should report the land at $85,000 on its December 31, 2022 balance sheet. This
g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g
is true not only at the time the land is purchased, but also over the time the land is held. In determining
g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g
whi ch measurement principle to use (historical cost or fair value) companies weigh the factual nature
g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g
of cost figures versus the relevance of fair value. In general, companies use historical cost. Only in
g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g
situations whe re assets are actively traded do companies apply the fair value principle.

7. The monetary unit assumption requires that only transaction data capable of being expressed in terms
g g g g g g g g g g g g g g
of money be included in the accounting records. This assumption enables accounting to quantify
g g g g g g g g g g g g g g
(measure) economic events.
