ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS v v
1. Accounting is a system that collects and processes (analyzes, measures, and
v v v v v v v v v v
records) financial information about an organization and reports that information to
v v v v v v v v v v v
decision makers.
v v
2. Financial accounting involves preparation of the four basic financial statements and
v v v v v v v v v v
related disclosures for external decision makers. Managerial accounting involves the
v v v v v v v v v v
preparation of detailed plans, budgets, forecasts, and performance reports for internal
v v v v v v v v v v v
decision makers.
v v
3. Financial reports are used by both internal and external groups and individuals. The
v v v v v v v v v v v v
internal groups are comprised of the various managers of the entity. The external
v v v v v v v v v v v v v
groups include the owners, investors, creditors, governmental agencies, other
v v v v v v v v v
interested parties, and the public at large.
v v v v v v v
4. Investors purchase all or part of a business and hope to gain by receiving part of what
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
the company earns and/or selling the company in the future at a higher price than they
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
paid. Creditors lend money to a company for a specific length of time andhope to gain by
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
charging interest on the loan.
v v v v v
5. In a society each organization can be defined as a separate accounting entity. An
v v v v v v v v v v v v v
accounting entity is the organization for which financial data are to be collected. Typical
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
accounting entities are a business, a church, a governmental unit, a university and
v v v v v v v v v v v v v
other nonprofit organizations such as a hospital and a welfare organization. A business
v v v v v v v v v v v v v
typically is defined and treated as a separate entity because the owners, creditors,
v v v v v v v v v v v v v
investors, and other interested parties need to evaluate its performance and its
v v v v v v v v v v v v
potential separately from other entities and from itsowners.
