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 alloẇs 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

records of the purchaser.
