1. True. Virtually every organization and person in our society uses accounting information. Businesses,
m m m m m m m m m m m m
investors, creditors, government agencies, and not-for-profit organizations must use accounting
m m m m m m m m m m
information to operate effectively.

2. Accounting is the process of identifying, recording, and communicating the economic events of an
m m m m m m m m m m m m m
organization to interested users of the information. The first activity of the accounting process is to identify
m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m
economic events that are relevant to a particular business. Once identified and measured, the events are
m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m
recorded to provide a history of the financial activities of the organization. Recording consists of keeping a
m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m
chronological diary of these measured events in an orderly and systematic manner. The information is
m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m
communicated through the preparation and distribution of accounting reports, the most common
m m m m m m m m m m m m
mof which are called financial statements. A vital element in the communication process is the
m m m m m m m m m m m m m m
accountant’s ability and responsibility to analyze and interpret the reported information.

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

4. (a) Investors (owners) use accounting information to make decisions to buy, hold, or sell stock.

(b) Creditors use accounting information to evaluate the risks of granting credit or lending money.

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

6. Harper Travel Agency should report the land at $85,000 on its December 31, 2022 balance sheet. This is
m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m
true not only at the time the land is purchased, but also over the time the land is held. In determining
m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m
which measurement principle to use (historical cost or fair value) companies weigh the factual nature of
m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m
cost figures versus the relevance of fair value. In general, companies use historical cost. Only in situations
m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m
where 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 of
m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m
money be included in the accounting records. This assumption enables accounting to quantify (measure)

economic events.
