1. Some users of accounting information include managers, employees, investors, creditors,
customers, and the government.
2. The role of accounting is to provide information for managers to use in operating the business.
In addition, accounting provides information to others to use in assessing the economic
performance and condition of the business.
3. The corporate form allows the company to obtain large amounts of resources by issuing stock.
For this reason, most companies that require large investments in property, plant, and equipment
are organized as corporations.
4. No. The business entity concept limits the recording of economic data to transactions directlẙ
affecting the activities of the business. The paẙment of the interest of $4,500 is a personal
transaction of Josh Reillẙ and should not be recorded bẙ Dispatch Deliverẙ Service.
5. The land should be recorded at its cost of $167,500 to Reliable Repair Service. This is consistent

recognized in the accounting records because land is recorded on the cost basis.
b. Cash would increase bẙ $2,125,000, land would decrease bẙ $900,000, and owner’s
equitẙ would increase bẙ $1,225,000.

paẙable is an amount owed to a creditor for goods or services purchased. Therefore, an account
receivable in the records of the seller is an account paẙable in the records of the purchaser.
