ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS a a
1. Accounting is a system that collects and processes (analyzes, measures, and records)
a a a a a a a a a a a a
financial information about an organization and reports that information todecision ma
a a a a a a a a a a a
kers.
2. Financial accounting involves preparation of the four basic financial statements andrela
a a a a a a a a a a a
ted disclosures for external decision makers. Managerial accounting involves the prepa
a a a a a a a a a a
ration of detailed plans, budgets, forecasts, and performance reports for internal decisi
a a a a a a a a a a a
on makers. a
3. Financial reports are used by both internal and external groups and individuals. Theinter
a a a a a a a a a a a a a
nal groups are comprised of the various managers of the entity. The external groups incl
a a a a a a a a a a a a a a
ude the owners, investors, creditors, governmental agencies, other interested parties, a
a a a a a a a a a a
nd the public at large.
a a a a
4. Investors purchase all or part of a business and hope to gain by receiving part of what the
a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a
company earns and/or selling the company in the future at a higher price than they paid. C
a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a
reditors lend money to a company for a specific length of time andhope to gain by chargin
a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a
g interest on the loan.
a a a a
5. In a society each organization can be defined as a separate accounting entity. An accoun
a a a a a a a a a a a a a a
ting entity is the organization for which financial data are to be collected. Typical accounti
a a a a a a a a a a a a a a
ng entities are a business, a church, a governmental unit, a university and other nonprofit
a a a a a a a a a a a a a a
organizations such as a hospital and a welfare organization. A business typically is defin
a a a a a a a a a a a a a a
ed and treated as a separate entity because the owners, creditors, investors, and other i
a a a a a a a a a a a a a a
nterested parties need to evaluate its performance and its potential separately from othe
a a a a a a a a a a a a
r entities and from itsowners.
