ACCOUNTING IN ACTION df df




CHAPTER LEARNING OBJECTIVES df df




1. Identify the activities and users associated with accounting. Accounting is an information system
df df df df df df df df df df df df



that identifies, records, and communicates the economic events of an organization to interested
df df df df df df df df df df df df df



users. The major users and uses of accounting are as follows: (a) Management uses accounting
df df df df df df df df df df df df df df df



information to plan, organize, and run the business. (b) Investors (owners) decide whether to buy,
df df df df df df df df df df df df df df df



hold, or sell their financial interests on the basis of accounting data. (c) Creditors (suppliers and
df df df df df df df df df df df df df fd df df



bankers) evaluate the risks of granting credit or lending money on the basis of accounting
df df df df df df df df df d f d f df df df df



information. Other groups that use accounting information are taxing authorities, regulatory
df df df df df df df df df df df



agencies, customers, and labor unions.

2. Explain the building blocks of accounting: ethics, principles, and assumptions. Ethics are the
df df df df df df df df df df df df



standards of conduct by which actions are judged as right or wrong. Effective financial reporting
df df df df df df df df df df df df df df df



depends on sound ethical behavior.
df df df df df




Generally accepted accounting principles are a common set of standards used by accountants. The
df df df df df df df df df df df df df



primary accounting standard-setting body in the United States is the Financial Accounting
df df df df df df df df df df df df



Standards Board.

3. State the accounting equation, and define its components. The basic
df df df df df df df df df d f accounting equation is: df df




Assets = Liabilities + Owner's Equity df df df df df




Assets are resources a business owns. Liabilities are creditorship claims on total
d f d f d f d f d f d f d f d f d f d f d f



assets.Owner's equity is the ownership claim on total assets.
d f fd df df df df df df df df




The expanded accounting equation is:
df df df df




Assets df Liabilities + Owner's Capital
df df df df df df Owner's Drawings + Revenues df df df df



Expenses
Investments by owners (assets the owner puts into the business) are recorded in a category called
df df df df df df df df df df df df df df df



owner‘s capital. Owner‘s drawings are the withdrawal of assets by the owner for personal use.
df df df df df df df df df df df df df df df



Revenues are the gross increase in owner‘s equity from business activities for the purpose of
df df df df df df df df df df df df df df df



earning income. Expenses are the costs of assets consumed or services used in the process of
df df df df df df df df df df df df df d f d f df



earning revenue. Owner‘s equity is increased by an owner‘s investmentsand by revenues
d f d f d f d f d f d f d f d f d f d f fd df df



from business operations. Owner‘s equity is decreased by an owner‘s withdrawals of assets and by
df df df df df df df df df df df df df df df



expenses.

4. Analyze the effects of business transactions on the accounting equation. Each business transaction
df df df df df df df df df df df fd



must have a dual effect on the accounting equation. For example, if an individual asset increases,
df df df df df df df df df df df df df df df df



there must be a corresponding (1) decrease in another asset, or (2) increase in a specific liability,
df df df df df df df df df df df df df df df df df



or (3) increase in owner's equity.
df df df df df df




5. Describe the four financial statements and how they are prepared. An income statement presents
df df df df df df df df df df df df df



the revenues and expenses, and resulting net income or net loss for a specific period of time.

An owner's equity statement summarizes the changes in owner's equity for a specific period of
df df df df df df df df df df df df df df df



time. A balance sheet reports the assets, liabilities, and owner's equity at a specific date. A
df df df df df df df df df df df df df df df df



statement of cash flows summarizes information about the cash inflows (receipts) and outflows
