INTRODUCTION TO ACCOUNTING AND BUSINESS g g g g
DISCUSSION QUESTIONS g
1. Some users of accounting information include managers, employees, investors, creditors,
g g g g g g g g g
customers, and the government.
g g g g
2. The role of accounting is to provide information for managers to use in operating the business.
g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g
gIn addition, accounting provides information to others to use in assessing the economic
g g g g g g g g g g g g
performance and condition of the business.
g g g g g g
3. The corporate form allows the company to obtain large amounts of resources by issuing
g g g g g g g g g g g g g
stock. For this reason, most companies that require large investments in property, plant, and
g g g g g g g g g g g g g g
equipment are organized as corporations.
g g g g g
4. No. The business entity concept limits the recording of economic data to transactions directly
g g g g g g g g g g g g g
affecting the activities of the business. The payment of the interest of $4,500 is a personal
g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g
transaction of Josh Reilly and should not be recorded by Dispatch Delivery Service.
g g g g g g g g g g g g g
5. The land should be recorded at its cost of $167,500 to Reliable Repair Service. This is consistent
g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g
gwith the cost concept.
g g g
6. a. No. The offer of $2,000,000 and the increase in the assessed value should not be recognized
g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g
gin the accounting records because land is recorded on the cost basis.
g g g g g g g g g g g
b. Cash would increase by $2,125,000, land would decrease by $900,000, and owner’s
g g g g g g g g g g g
equity would increase by $1,225,000.
g g g g g
7. An account receivable is a claim against a customer for goods or services sold. An account
g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g
payable is an amount owed to a creditor for goods or services purchased. Therefore, an account
g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g
receivable in the records of the seller is an account payable in the records of the purchaser.
g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g
8. (b) g The business realized net income of $91,000 ($679,000 – $588,000).
g g g g g g g g g
9. (a) g g The business incurred a net loss of $75,000 ($640,000 – $715,000).
g g g g g g g g g g
10. (a) Net income or net loss

(b) Owner’s equity at the end of the period g g g g g g g
(c) Cash at the end of the period g g g g g g
