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

recognized in the accounting records.
b. Cash would increase by $2,125,000, land would decrease by $900,000, and owner’s
capital would increase by $1,225,000.
7. An account receivable is a claim against a customer for goods or services sold. An account
payable is an amount owed to a creditor for goods or services purchased. Therefore, an
account receivable in the records of the seller is an account payable in the records of the
purchaser.
