and creditworthiness.

v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v


million in cash.
v v v




Answer: False v

, Rationale: The accounting equation requires total assets to equal total liabilities plus stockholders’
v v v v v v v v v v v v


equity. That does not imply, however, that liability and equity accounts relate directly to specific assets.

v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v


period of time.

8. The income statement reports net income which is defined as the company’s profit after all expenses
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v


and dividends have been paid.
v v v v v




Answer: False v



Rationale: The statement contains two errors. First, net income does not include any dividends during
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v


the period; these are a distribution of profits and not part of its calculation. Second, the income
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v


statement is prepared on an accrual basis and thus includes expenses incurred (as opposed to paid).
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
