ACCOUNTING IN ACTION b b




CHAPTER LEARNING OBJECTIVES b b




1. Identify the activities and users associated with accounting. Accounting is an information system
b b b b b b b b b b b b


that identifies, records, and communicates the economic events of an organization to interested
b b b b b b b b b b b b b


users. The major users and uses of accounting are as follows: (a) Management uses accounting
b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b


information to plan, organize, and run the business. (b) Investors (owners) decide whether to buy,
b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b


hold, or sell their financial interests on the basis of accounting data. (c) Creditors (suppliers and
b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b


bankers) evaluate the risks of granting credit or lending money on the basis of accounting
b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b


information. Other groups that use accounting information are taxing authorities, regulatory
b b b b b b b b b b b


agencies, customers, and labor unions.
b b b b b



2. Explain the building blocks of accounting: ethics, principles, and assumptions. Ethics are the
b b b b b b b b b b b b


standards of conduct by which actions are judged as right or wrong. Effective financial reporting
b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b


depends on sound ethical behavior.
b b b b b



Generally accepted accounting principles are a common set of standards used by accountants. The
b b b b b b b b b b b b b


primary accounting standard-setting body in the United States is the Financial Accounting Standards
b b b b b b b b b b b b b


Board.

3. State the accounting equation, and define its components. The basic accounting equation is:
b b b b b b b b b b b b




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



Assets are resources a business owns. Liabilities are creditorship claims on total
b b b b b b b b b b b


bassets.Owner's equity is the ownership claim on total assets.
b b b b b b b b b



The expanded accounting equation is:
b b b b




Assets b Liabilities + Owner's Capital
b b b b b b Owner's Drawings + Revenues b b b b


Expenses
Investments by owners (assets the owner puts into the business) are recorded in a category called
b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b


bowner‘s capital. Owner‘s drawings are the withdrawal of assets by the owner for personal use.
b b b b b b b b b b b b b b


bRevenues are the gross increase in owner‘s equity from business activities for the purpose of
b b b b b b b b b b b b b b


bearning income. Expenses are the costs of assets consumed or services used in the process of
b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b


b earning revenue. Owner‘s equity is increased by an owner‘s investments and by revenues
b b b b b b b b b b b b


bfrom business operations. Owner‘s equity is decreased by an owner‘s withdrawals of assets and by
b b b b b b b b b b b b b b


bexpenses.
4. Analyze the effects of business transactions on the accounting equation. Each business transaction
b b b b b b b b b b b b


must have a dual effect on the accounting equation. For example, if an individual asset increases,
b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b


there must be a corresponding (1) decrease in another asset, or (2) increase in a specific liability, or
b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b


(3) increase in owner's equity.
b b b b b



5. Describe the four financial statements and how they are prepared. An income statement presents
b b b b b b b b b b b b b


the revenues and expenses, and resulting net income or net loss for a specific period of time. An
b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b


owner's equity statement summarizes the changes in owner's equity for a specific period of time. A
b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b


balance sheet reports the assets, liabilities, and owner's equity at a specific date. A statement of
b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b


cash flows summarizes information about the cash inflows (receipts) and outflows (payments) for a
