1. Some users of accounting information include managers, employees, investors, creditors,
c c c c c c c c c
customers, and the government.
c c c c
2. The role of accounting is to provide information for managers to use in operating the business. In
c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c
addition, accounting provides information to others to use in assessing the economic
c c c c c c c c c c c c
performance and condition of the business.
c c c c c c
3. The corporate form allows the company to obtain large amounts of resources by issuing stock.
c c c c c c c c c c c c c c
For this reason, most companies that require large investments in property, plant, and equipment are
c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c
organized as corporations.
c c c
4. No. The business entity concept limits the recording of economic data to transactions directly
c c c c c c c c c c c c c
affecting the activities of the business. The payment of the interest of $4,500 is a personal
c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c
transaction of Josh Reilly and should not be recorded by Dispatch Delivery Service.
c c c c c c c c c c c c c
5. The land should be recorded at its cost of $167,500 to Reliable Repair Service. This is consistent with
c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c
the cost concept.
c c c
6. a. No. The offer of $2,000,000 and the increase in the assessed value should not be recognized in
c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c
the accounting records because land is recorded on the cost basis.
c c c c c c c c c c c

c c c c c c c c c c c c
would increase by $1,225,000.
c c c c
7. An account receivable is a claim against a customer for goods or services sold. An account
c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c
payable is an amount owed to a creditor for goods or services purchased. Therefore, an account
c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c
receivable in the records of the seller is an account payable in the records of the purchaser.
c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c
