ACCOUNTING IN ACTION h h




CHAPTER LEARNING OBJECTIVES h h




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




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




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




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




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




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




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




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




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




ethical behavior.
h h




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




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




Board.

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




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




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




equity is the ownership claim on total assets.
h h h h h h h h




The expanded accounting equation is:
h h h h




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




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




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




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




Expenses are the costs of assets consumed or services used in the process of earning revenue.
h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h




hOwner‘s equity is increased by an owner‘s investments and by revenues from business operations.
h h h h h h h h h h h h h




Owner‘s equity is decreased by an owner‘s withdrawals of assets and by expenses.
h h h h h h h h h h h h h




4. Analyze the effects of business transactions on the accounting equation. Each businesstransaction must
h h h h h h h h h h h h h




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




be a corresponding (1) decrease in another asset, or (2) increase in a specific liability, or (3) increase in
h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h




owner's equity.
h h




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




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




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




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




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