CHAPTER LEARNING OBJECTIVES ww ww




1. Identify the forms of business organization and the uses of accounting
ww ww ww ww ww ww ww ww ww ww



information. A sole proprietorship is a business owned by one person. A partnership is
ww ww ww ww ww ww ww ww ww ww ww ww ww ww



a business owned by two or more people associated as partners. A corporation is a
ww ww ww ww ww ww ww ww ww ww ww ww ww ww ww



separate legal entity for which evidence of ownership is provided by shares of stock.
ww ww ww ww ww ww ww ww ww ww ww ww ww ww



Internal users are managers who need accounting information to plan, organize, and
ww ww ww ww ww ww ww ww ww ww ww ww



run business operations. The primary external users are investors and creditors.
ww ww ww ww ww ww ww ww ww ww ww



Investors (stockholders) use accounting information to decide whether to buy, hold, or
ww ww ww ww ww ww ww ww ww ww ww ww



sell shares of a company‘s stock. Creditors (suppliers and bankers) use accounting
ww ww ww ww ww ww ww ww ww ww ww ww



information to assess the risk of granting credit or loaning money to
ww ww ww a business. ww ww ww ww ww ww ww ww ww w w ww



Other groups who have an indirect interest in a business are taxing authorities,
ww ww ww ww ww ww ww ww ww ww ww ww ww



customers, labor unions, and regulatory agencies.

2. Explain the three principal types of business activity. Financing activities involve
ww ww ww ww ww ww ww ww ww ww



collecting the necessary funds to support the business. Investing activities involve
ww ww ww ww ww ww ww ww ww ww ww



acquiring the resources necessary to run the business. Operating activities involve
ww ww ww ww ww ww ww ww ww ww ww



putting the resources of the business into action to generate a profit.
ww ww w w ww ww ww ww ww ww ww ww ww




3. Describe the four financial statements and how they are prepared. An income
ww ww ww ww ww ww ww ww ww ww ww



statement presents the revenues and expenses of a company for a specific period of
ww ww ww ww ww ww ww ww ww ww ww ww ww ww



time. A retained earnings statement summarizes the changes in retained earnings that
ww ww ww ww ww ww ww ww ww ww ww ww



have occurred for a specific period of time. A balance sheet reports the assets,
ww ww ww ww ww ww ww ww ww ww ww ww ww ww



liabilities, and stockholders‘ equity of a business at a specific date. A statement of cash
ww ww ww ww ww ww ww ww ww ww ww ww ww ww ww



flows summarizes information
ww ww concerning the cash inflows (receipts) and outflows
ww w w ww ww ww ww ww ww



(payments) for a specific period of time. Assets are resources owned by a business.
ww ww ww ww ww ww ww ww ww ww ww ww ww ww



Liabilities are the debts and obligations of the business. Liabilities represent claims of
ww ww ww ww ww ww ww ww ww ww ww ww ww



creditors on the assets of the business. Stockholders‘ equity represents the claims of
ww ww ww ww ww ww ww ww ww ww ww ww ww



owners on the assets of the business. Stockholders‘ equity is subdivided into two parts:
ww ww ww ww ww ww ww ww ww ww ww ww ww ww



common stock and retained earnings. The basic accounting equation is Assets =
ww ww ww ww ww ww ww ww ww ww ww ww



Liabilities + Stockholders‘ Equity. Within the annual report, the management discussion
ww ww ww ww ww ww ww ww ww ww ww



and analysis provides management‘s interpretation of the company‘s results and
ww ww ww ww ww ww ww ww ww ww



financial position as well as a discussion of plans for the future. Notes to the financial
ww ww ww ww ww ww ww ww ww ww ww ww ww ww ww ww



statements provide additional explanation or detail to make the financial statements
ww ww ww ww ww ww ww ww ww ww ww



more informative. The auditor‘s report expresses an opinion as to whether the financial
ww ww ww ww ww ww ww ww ww ww ww ww ww



statements present fairly the company‘s results of operations and financial position.
ww ww ww ww ww ww ww ww ww ww ww




*4. Explain the career opportunities in accounting. Accounting offers many different jobs
ww ww ww ww ww ww ww ww ww ww ww



in fields such as public and private accounting, governmental, and forensic accounting.
ww ww ww ww ww ww ww ww ww ww ww ww



Accounting is a popular major because there are many different types of jobs, with
ww ww ww ww ww ww ww ww ww ww ww ww ww ww



unlimited potential for career advancement
