ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS sj sj




1. Accounting is a system that collects and processes (analyzes, measures, and recordssj sj sj sj sj sj sj sj sj sj sj




) financial information about an organization and reports that information todecision m
sj sj sj sj sj sj sj sj sj sj sj sj




akers.

2. Financial accounting involves preparation of the four basic financial statements andrel
sj sj sj sj sj sj sj sj sj sj sj




ated disclosures for external decision makers. Managerial accounting involves the pre
sj sj sj sj sj sj sj sj sj sj




paration of detailed plans, budgets, forecasts, and performance reports for internal dec
sj sj sj sj sj sj sj sj sj sj sj




ision makers. sj




3. Financial reports are used by both internal and external groups and individuals. Theinte
sj sj sj sj sj sj sj sj sj sj sj sj sj




rnal groups are comprised of the various managers of the entity. The external groups in
sj sj sj sj sj sj sj sj sj sj sj sj sj sj




clude the owners, investors, creditors, governmental agencies, other interested parties
sj sj sj sj sj sj sj sj sj




, and the public at large.
sj sj sj sj sj




4. Investors purchase all or part of a business and hope to gain by receiving part of what the
sj sj sj sj sj sj sj sj sj sj sj sj sj sj sj sj sj




company earns and/or selling the company in the future at a higher price than they paid.
sj sj sj sj sj sj sj sj sj sj sj sj sj sj sj sj sj




Creditors lend money to a company for a specific length of time andhope to gain by char
sj sj sj sj sj sj sj sj sj sj sj sj sj sj sj sj sj




ging interest on the loan. sj sj sj sj




5. In a society each organization can be defined as a separate accounting entity. An accou
sj sj sj sj sj sj sj sj sj sj sj sj sj sj




nting entity is the organization for which financial data are to be collected. Typical accou
sj sj sj sj sj sj sj sj sj sj sj sj sj sj




nting entities are a business, a church, a governmental unit, a university and other nonp
sj sj sj sj sj sj sj sj sj sj sj sj sj sj




rofit organizations such as a hospital and a welfare organization. A business typically is
sj sj sj sj sj sj sj sj sj sj sj sj sj sj




defined and treated as a separate entity because the owners, creditors, investors, and
sj sj sj sj sj sj sj sj sj sj sj sj sj




other interested parties need to evaluate its performance and its potential separately fr
sj sj sj sj sj sj sj sj sj sj sj sj




om other entities and from itsowners.
