, ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS

1. World markets are becoming increasingly intertwined. The tremendous variety and volume of both
exported and imported goods indicates the extensive involvement in international trade. As a
result, the move towards adoption of international financial reporting standards has and will
continue in the future.
LO: 1, Bloom: K, Difficulty: Simple, Time: 3-5, AACSB: None, AICPA BB: None, AICPA FC: Reporting, AICPA PC: Communication


2. Financial accounting measures, classifies, and summarizes in report form those activities and that
information which relate to the enterprise as a whole for use by parties both internal and external
to a business enterprise. Managerial accounting also measures, classifies, and summarizes in
report form enterprise activities, but the communication is for the use of internal, managerial
parties, and relates more to subsystems of the entity. Managerial accounting is management

decision-oriented and directed more toward product line, division, and profit center reporting.
LO: 1, Bloom: K, Difficulty: Simple, Time: 3-5, AACSB: None, AICPA BB: None, AICPA FC: Reporting, AICPA PC: Communication


3. Financial statements generally refer to the four basic financial statements: statement of financial
U
position, statement of comprehensive income (or income statement), statement of cash flows, and
statement of changes in equity. Financial reporting is a broader concept; it includes the basic
financial statements and any other means of communicating financial and economic data to
interested external parties.

4. If a company‘s financial performance is measured accurately, fairly, and on a timely basis, the right
managers and companies are able to attract investment capital. To provide unreliable and
SzzE
irrelevant information leads to poor capital allocation which adversely affects the securities market.
LO: 1, Bloom: K, Difficulty: Simple, Time: 3-5, AACSB: None, AICPA BB: None, AICPA FC: Reporting, AICPA PC: Communication


5. A single set of high quality accounting standards ensures adequate comparability. Investors are
able to make better investment decisions if they receive financial information from a U.S. company
nDu
that is comparable to an international competitor.
LO: 2, Bloom: K, Difficulty: Simple, Time: 3-5, AACSB: None, AICPA BB: None, AICPA FC: Reporting, AICPA PC: Communication


6. The objective of general-purpose financial reporting is to provide financial information about the
reporting entity that is useful to present and potential equity investors, lenders, and other creditors
Ors
in making decisions about providing resources to the entity.
LO: 2, Bloom: K, Difficulty: Simple, Time: 3-5, AACSB: None, AICPA BB: None, AICPA FC: Reporting, AICPA PC: Communication


7. General-purpose financial statements provide financial reporting information to a wide variety of
Ce
users. To be cost effective in providing this information, general-purpose financial statements
provide at the least cost the most useful information possible.
LO: 2, Bloom: K, Difficulty: Simple, Time: 3-5, AACSB: None, AICPA BB: None, AICPA FC: Reporting, AICPA PC: Communication
S
8. Shareholders, creditors, suppliers, employees, and regulators all use general-purpose financial
statements. The primary user group is capital providers (shareholders and creditors).
LO: 2, Bloom: K, Difficulty: Simple, Time: 3-5, AACSB: None, AICPA BB: None, AICPA FC: Reporting, AICPA PC: Communication


9. The proprietary perspective is not considered appropriate because this perspective generally does
not reflect a realistic view of the financial reporting environment. Instead, the entity perspective
is adopted which is consistent with the present business environment where most companies
engaged in financial reporting have substance separate and distinct from their owners.
LO: 2, Bloom: K, Difficulty: Simple, Time: 3-5, AACSB: None, AICPA BB: None, AICPA FC: Reporting, AICPA PC: Communication

, Questions Chapter 1 (Continued)

10. This statement is not correct. The objective of financial reporting is primarily to provide information
to investors interested in assessing the company‘s ability to generate net cash inflows and
management‘s ability to protect and enhance the capital providers‘ investments. Financial
reporting should help investors assess the amounts, timing and uncertainty of prospective cash
inflows.

18. The International Financial Reporting Standards Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) applies a
principles-based approach in providing interpretative guidance. The IFRIC issues interpretations
that cover newly identified financial reporting issues not specifically dealt with in IFRS, and issues
where conflicting interpretations have developed, or seem likely to develop in the absence of
authoritative guidance.

23. Concern exists about fraudulent financial reporting because it can undermine the entire financial
reporting process. Failure to provide information to users that is accurate can lead to inappropriate
allocations of resources in our economy. In addition, failure to detect massive fraud can lead to
additional governmental oversight of the accounting profession.
