DISCUSSION QUESTIONS n
1. Some users of accounting information include managers, employees, investors, creditors,
n n n n n n n n n
customers, and the government.
n n n n
2. The role of accounting is to provide information for managers to use in operating the business. In
n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n
addition, accounting provides information to others to use in assessing the economic performance
n n n n n n n n n n n n n
and condition of the business.
n n n n n
3. The corporate form allows the company to obtain large amounts of resources by issuing stock.
n n n n n n n n n n n n n n
For this reason, most companies that require large investments in property, plant, and equipment are
n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n
organized as corporations.
n n n
4. No. The business entity concept limits the recording of economic data to transactions directly
n n n n n n n n n n n n n
affecting the activities of the business. The payment of the interest of $4,500 is a personal
n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n
transaction of Josh Reilly and should not be recorded by Dispatch Delivery Service.
n n n n n n n n n n n n n
5. The land should be recorded at its cost of $167,500 to Reliable Repair Service. This is consistent with
n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n
the cost concept.
n n n
6. a. No. The offer of $2,000,000 and the increase in the assessed value should not be recognized in
n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n
the accounting records because land is recorded on the cost basis.
n n n n n n n n n n n
b. Cash would increase by $2,125,000, land would decrease by $900,000, and owner’s equity
n n n n n n n n n n n n
would increase by $1,225,000.
n n n n
7. An account receivable is a claim against a customer for goods or services sold. An account payable is
n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n
an amount owed to a creditor for goods or services purchased. Therefore, an account receivable in the
n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n
records of the seller is an account payable in the records of the purchaser.
n n n n n n n n n n n n n n
8. (b) The business realized net income of $91,000 ($679,000 – $588,000).
