ACCOUNTING IN ACTION m1 m1




CHAPTER LEARNING OBJECTIVES m1 m1




1. Identify the activities and users associated with accounting. Accounting is an infor
m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1


mation system that identifies, records, and communicates the econo c events of an org
m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1


anization to interested users. The major users and uses of accounting are as follows: (
m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1


a) Management uses accounting information to plan, organize, and run the business. (b
m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1


) Investors (owners) decide whether to buy, hold, or sell their financial interests on the
m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1


basis of accounting data. (c) Creditors (suppliers and bankers) evaluate the risks of gr
m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1


anting credit or lending money on the basis of accounting information. Other groups th
m1 m1 m1 m1 m 1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1


at use accounting information are taxing authorities, regulatory agencies, customers, an
m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1


d labor unions.
m1 m1



2. Explain the building blocks of accounting: ethics, principles, and assumptions. Et
m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1


hics are the standards of conduct by which actions are judged as right or wrong. Effec
m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1


tive financial reporting depends on sound ethical behavior.
m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1



Generally accepted accounting principles are a common set of standards used by acco
m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1


untants. The primary accounting standard-
m1 m1 m1 m1


setting body in the United States is the Financial Accounting Standards Board.
m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1




3. State the accounting equation, and define its components. The basic accounting e
m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m 1


quation is: m1



Assets = Liabilities + Owner's Equity
m1 m1 m1 m1 m1



Assets are resources a business owns. Liabilities are creditorship claims on total as
m 1 m 1 m 1 m 1 m 1 m 1 m 1 m 1 m 1 m 1 m 1 m 1


sets. Owner's equity is the ownership claim on total assets.
m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1



The expanded accounting equation is:
m1 m1 m1 m1




Assets  Liabilities + Owner's Capital  Owner's Drawings + Revenues 
m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1


Expenses
Investments by owners (assets the owner puts into the business) are recorded in a cat
m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1


egory called owner‘s capital. Owner‘s drawings are the withdrawal of assets by the own
m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1


er for personal use. Revenues are the gross increase in owner‘s equity from business
m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1


activities for the purpose of earning income. Expenses are the costs of assets consum
m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1


ed or services used in the process of earning revenue. Owner‘s equity is increased by
m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m 1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1


m1an owner‘s investments and by revenues from business operations. Owner‘s equity is
m1 m1 m 1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m


1decreased by an owner‘s withdrawals of assets and by expenses.
m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1



4. Analyze the effects of business transactions on the accounting equation. Each bu
m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1


siness transaction must have a dual effect on the accounting equation. For example, if
m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1


an individual asset increases, there must be a corresponding (1) decrease in another a
m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1


sset, or (2) increase in a specific liability, or (3) increase in owner's equity.
m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1



5. Describe the four financial statements and how they are prepared. An income stat
m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1


ement presents the revenues and expenses, and resulting net income or net loss for a
m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m


1specific period of time. An owner's equity statement summarizes the changes in owne
m 1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1


r's equity for a specific period of time. A balance sheet reports the assets, liabilities, a
m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1


nd owner's equity at a specific date. A statement of cash flows summarizes information
m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1


m1about the cash inflows (receipts) and outflows (payments) for a specific period of time.
