, ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS | |
1. True. |Virtually |every |organization |and |person |in |our |society |uses |accounting |information. |Businesses,

2. Accounting |is |the |process |of |identifying, |recording, |and | communicating | the |economic |events |of |an
|organization |to |interested |users |of |the |information. |The |first |activity |of |the |accounting |process |is |to
|identify |economic |events |that |are |relevant |to |a |particular |business. |Once |identified |and |measured, |the
|events |are |recorded |to |provide |a |history |of |the |financial |activities |of |the |organization. |Recording
|consists |of |keeping |a |chronological |diary |of |these |measured |events |in |an |orderly |and |systematic
|manner. |The |information |is |communicated |through |the |preparation |and |distribution |of |accounting
| reports, | the | most | common | of | which |are | called |financial |statements. |A |vital |element |in |the
|communication |process |is |the |accountant’s |ability |and |responsibility |to |analyze |and | interpret |the
| reported | information.

3. (a) |Internal |users |are |those |who |plan, |organize, |and |run |the |business |and |therefore |are |officers |and
| other |decision |makers.
(b) To |assist |management, |accounting |provides |internal |reports. |Examples |include |financial
|comparisons |of |operating |alternatives, |projections |of | income |from |new |sales | campaigns, |and
|forecasts |of | cash |needs |for |the |next | year.

4. (a) Investors |(owners) |use |accounting |information |to |make |decisions |to |buy, |hold, |or |sell |stock.
(b) Creditors |use |accounting |information |to |evaluate |the |risks |of |granting |credit |or |lending |money.

5. False. |Bookkeeping |usually |involves |only |the |recording |of |economic |events |and |therefore |is |just |one
|part |of |the |entire |accounting |process. |Accounting, |on |the |other |hand, |involves |the |entire |process |of
|identifying, |recording, |and | communicating |economic |events.

6. Harper |Travel |Agency |should |report |the |land |at |$85,000 |on |its |December |31, | 2022 | balance |sheet.
|This |is |true |not |only |at |the |time |the |land |is |purchased, |but |also |over |the |time |the |land |is |held. |In
|determining |which |measurement |principle |to |use |(historical |cost |or |fair |value) |companies |weigh |the
|factual |nature |of |cost |figures |versus |the |relevance |of |fair |value. |In |general, |companies |use |historical
|cost. |Only |in |situations |where |assets |are |actively |traded |do | companies |apply |the |fair |value |principle.

7. The |monetary |unit |assumption |requires |that |only |transaction |data |capable |of |being |expressed |in |terms
|of |money |be |included |in |the |accounting |records. |This |assumption |enables |accounting |to |quantify
|(measure) |economic |events.
