ACCOUNTING IN ACTION ss ss
CHAPTER LEARNING OBJECTIVES ss ss
1. Identify the activities and users associated with accounting. Accounting is an information system
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss
that identifies, records, and communicates the economic events of an organization to interested
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss
users. The major users and uses of accounting are as follows: (a) Management uses accounting
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss
information to plan, organize, and run the business. (b) Investors (owners) decide whether to
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss
buy, hold, or sell their financial interests on the basis of accounting data. (c) Creditors (suppliers
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss s ss
and bankers) evaluate the risks of granting credit or lending money on the basis of
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss s s s s ss ss ss
accounting information. Other groups that use accounting information are taxing authorities,
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss
regulatory agencies, customers, and labor unions.
ss ss ss ss ss ss
2. Explain the building blocks of accounting: ethics, principles, and assumptions. Ethics are the
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss
standards of conduct by which actions are judged as right or wrong. Effective financial reporting
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss
depends on sound ethical behavior.
ss ss ss ss ss
Generally accepted accounting principles are a common set of standards used by accountants.
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss
The primary accounting standard-setting body in the United States is the Financial Accounting
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss
Standards Board.
ss ss
3. State the accounting equation, and define its components. The basic
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss s s accounting equation is: ss ss
Assets = Liabilities + Owner's Equity
ss ss ss ss ss
Assets are resources a business owns. Liabilities are creditorship claims on total
s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s
assets.Owner's equity is the ownership claim on total assets.
s s s ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss
The expanded accounting equation is:
ss ss ss ss
Assets ss Liabilities + Owner's Capital
ss ss ss ss ss ss Owner's Drawings + Revenues ss ss ss ss
Expenses
Investments by owners (assets the owner puts into the business) are recorded in a category
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss
called owner‘s capital. Owner‘s drawings are the withdrawal of assets by the owner for personal
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss
use. Revenues are the gross increase in owner‘s equity from business activities for the purpose
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss
of earning income. Expenses are the costs of assets consumed or services used in the process
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss
ssof earning revenue. Owner‘s equity is increased by an owner‘s investments and by
s s ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss s ss
revenues from business operations. Owner‘s equity is decreased by an owner‘s withdrawals of
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss
assets and by expenses.
ss ss ss ss
4. Analyze the effects of business transactions on the accounting equation. Each
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss
business transaction must have a dual effect on the accounting equation. For example, if an
ss s ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss
individual asset increases, there must be a corresponding (1) decrease in another asset, or (2)
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss
increase in a specific liability, or (3) increase in owner's equity.
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss
5. Describe the four financial statements and how they are prepared. An income statement
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss
presents the revenues and expenses, and resulting net income or net loss for a specific
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss s s ss ss s s
period of time. An owner's equity statement summarizes the changes in owner's equity for a
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss
specific period of time. A balance sheet reports the assets, liabilities, and owner's equity at a
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss
specific date. A statement of cash flows summarizes information about the cash inflows
