ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti



rimary responsibility for the development of generally accepted accountin g
ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti



principles. Their role was substantially reduced in 1973 when the Finan cial
ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti



Accounting Standards Board was established. Their role was further
ti ti ti ti ti t i ti ti ti



reduced with the establishment of the Public Company Accounting Overs
ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti



ight Board was established in 2002.
ti ti ti ti ti ti




b. The FinancialAccountingStandardsBoard replacedthe Accounting
ti ti ti ti ti ti ti



Principles Board as the primary rule-
ti ti ti ti ti ti



making body for accounting standards. It is an independent organiza tion
ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti



and includes members other than public accountants.
ti ti ti ti ti ti ti




c. The SEC has the authority to determine generally accepted accounting
ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti



principles and to regulate the accounting profession. The SEC has elec
ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti



ted to leave much of the determination of generally accepted accountin g
ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti



principles to the private sector. The Financial Accounting Standards
ti ti ti ti ti t i ti ti ti



Board has played the major role in establishing accounting standards si
ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti



nce 1973. Regulation of the accounting profession was substantially tur
ti ti t i ti ti ti ti ti ti ti



ned over to the Public Company Accounting OversightsBoard in 2002.
ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti




1- 2. ti



Consistency is obtained through the application of the same accounting
ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti



principle from period to period. A change in principle requires statement
ti ti ti ti ti t i ti ti ti ti ti



disclosure.
ti




1- 3. ti



The concept of historical costsdetermines the balance sheet valuation of land.
ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti

d. Conservatism

1-5.
ti Entity concept ti

,1- 6.ti



Generally accepted accounting principles do not apply when a firm does not ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti



appear to be a going concern. If the decision is made that this is not a going
ti ti ti ti ti ti t i ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti



concern, then the use of GAAP would notsbe appropriate.
ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti




1- 7. ti



With the time period assumption, inaccuracies of accounting for the entity, sho rt
ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti



of its complete life span, are accepted. The assumption is made that the entit y can
ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti



be accounted for reasonably accurately for a particular period of time. In other
ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti t i ti



words, the decision is made to accept some inaccuracy because of inco mplete
ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti



information about the future in exchange for more timely reporting. The
ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti t i



statements are considered to be meaningful because material inaccuracies ar e
ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti



not acceptable.
ti ti




1- 8. It is true that the only accurate way to account for the success or failure of an en tity is
ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti



to accumulate all transactions from the opening of business until the bu siness
ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti



eventually liquidates. Butsitsis not necessary that the statements be co
ti ti t i ti ti ti ti ti ti ti



mpletely accurate in order for them to be meaningful.
ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti




1- 9. a. Asyear that ends when operations are at a low ebb for the year. ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti




b. The accounting time period is ended on December 31.
ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti




c. Astwelve-
month accounting period that ends at the end of a month other than Dec ember
ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti



31.
ti




1-10. Money.

1-
11. When money does notshold a stable value, the financial statements can ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti



lose much of their significance. To the extentsthatsmoney does not remain st
ti ti ti ti ti t i ti ti ti ti ti ti



able, it loses usefulness as the standard for measuring financial transactions.
ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti




1-12.
No. There is a problem with determining the indexsin order to adjust the state
t i ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti



ments. The items that are included in the index must be representative. In ad
ti t i ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti



dition, the prices of items change because of various factors, such as quality,
ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti



technology, and inflation.
ti ti ti




Yes.A reasonable adjustment to the statements can be made for inflation.
ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti




1-13. t i t i False. An arbitrary write-
t i t i ti ti



off of inventory cannot be justified under the conservatism concept. The cons
ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti t i ti



ervatism concept can only be applied where there are alternative measureme nts
ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti



and each of these alternative measurements has reasonable support.
ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti

, 1-14.
Yes, inventory that hasa market value below the historical cost should be wr itten
ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti



down in order to recognize a loss. This is done based upon the concept of
ti ti ti ti ti ti ti t i ti ti ti ti ti ti ti



conservatism. Losses that can be reasonably anticipated should be take n in
ti t i ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti



order to reflectsthe leastsfavorable effect on netsincome of the current pe riod.
