ACCOUNTINGIN ACTION c c




CHAPTERLEARNINGOBJECTIVES c c




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




identifies, records, and communicates the economic events of an organization to interested users. The
c c c c c c c c c c c c c c




major users and uses of accounting are as follows: (a) Management uses accounting information to plan,
c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c




organize, and run the business. (b) Investors (owners) decide whether to buy, hold, or sell their financial
c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c




interests on the basis of accounting data. (c) Creditors (suppliers and bankers) evaluate the risks of granting
c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c




credit or lending money on the basis of accounting information. Other groups that use accounting
c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c




information are taxing authorities, regulatory agencies, customers, and labor unions.
c c c c c c c c c c




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




conduct by which actions are judged as right or wrong. Effective financial reporting depends on sound
c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c




ethicalbehavior.
c c




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




accounting standard-setting body in the United States is the Financial Accounting Standards Board.
c c c c c c c c c c c c c




3. State the accounting equation, and define its components. The basic accounting equation is:
c c c c c c c c c c c c




Assets= Liabilities + Owner'sEquity c c c c c




Assets are resources a business owns. Liabilities are creditorship claims on total assets.Owner's
c c c c c c c c c c c c c




equity is the ownership claimon total assets.
c c c c c c c c




Theexpanded accounting equation is:
c c c c




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




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




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




gross increase in owner‘s equity from business activities for the purpose of earning income. Expenses are
c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c




the costs of assets consumed or services used in the process of earning revenue. Owner‘s equity is
c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c




cincreased by an owner‘s investments and by revenues from business operations. Owner‘s equity is
c c c c c c c c c c c c c




decreased by an owner‘s withdrawals of assets and by expenses.
c c c c c c c c c c




4. Analyze the effects of business transactions on the accounting equation. Each business transaction must
c c c c c c c c c c c c c




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




corresponding (1) decrease in another asset, or (2) increase in a specific liability, or (3) increase in owner's
c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c




equity.
c




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




revenues and expenses, and resulting net income or net loss for a specific period of time. An owner's
c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c




equity statement summarizes the changes in owner's equity for a specific period of time. A balance sheet
c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c




reports the assets, liabilities, and owner's equity at a specific date. A statement of cash flows summarizes
c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c




information about the cash inflows (receipts)and outflows (payments) for a specific period of time.
