r DISCUSSION QUESTIONS r
1. Some users of accounting information include managers, employees, investors, creditors,
r r r r r r r r r
customers, and the government.
r r r r
2. The role of accounting is to provide information for managers to use in operating the business. In
r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r
addition, accounting provides information to others to use in assessing the economic
r r r r r r r r r r r r
performance and condition of the business.
r r r r r r
3. The corporate form allows the company to obtain large amounts of resources by issuing stock.
r r r r r r r r r r r r r r
For this reason, most companies that require large investments in property, plant, and equipment are
r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r
organized as corporations.
r r r
4. No. The business entity concept limits the recording of economic data to transactions directly
r r r r r r r r r r r r r
affecting the activities of the business. The payment of the interest of $4,500 is a personal
r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r
transaction of Josh Reilly and should not be recorded by Dispatch Delivery Service.
r r r r r r r r r r r r r
5. The land should be recorded at its cost of $167,500 to Reliable Repair Service. This is consistent with
r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r
the cost concept.
r r r
6. a. No. The offer of $2,000,000 and the increase in the assessed value should not be recognized in the
r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r
accounting records because land is recorded on the cost basis.
r r r r r r r r r r
b. Cash would increase by $2,125,000, land would decrease by $900,000, and owner’s equity would
r r r r r r r r r r r r r
increase by $1,225,000.
r r r
7. An account receivable is a claim against a customer for goods or services sold. An account
r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r
payable is an amount owed to a creditor for goods or services purchased. Therefore, an account
r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r
receivable in the records of the seller is an account payable in the records of the purchaser.
r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r
8. (b) The business realized net income of $91,000 ($679,000 – $588,000).
r r r r r r r r r r
9. (a) The business incurred a net loss of $75,000 ($640,000 – $715,000).
r r r r r r r r r r r
10. (a) Netincome or net loss
r r r r r
(b) Owner’s equity at the end of the period r r r r r r r
(c) Cashattheendof the period r r r r r r
