,5. In a society, each organization can be defined as a separate accounting entity. An
pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn



accounting entity is the organization for which financial data are to be collected. Ty
pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn



pical accounting entities are a business, a church, a governmental unit, a university
pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn



and other nonprofit organizations such as a hospital and a welfare organization. A
pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn



business typically is defined and treated as a separate entity because the owners,
pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn



creditors, investors, and other interested parties need to evaluate its performance a
pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn



nd its potential separately from other entities and from its owners.

pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn p



following:
n



(a) Name of the entity pn pn pn



(b) Name of the statement pn pn pn



(c) Date of the statement, or the period of time
pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn



(d) Unit of measure pn pn




8. (a)
The purpose of the income statement is to present information about the re
pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn



venues, expenses, and the net income of an entity for a specified period of ti
pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn



me.
(b) The purpose of the balance sheet is to report the financial position of an entity
pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn p



nat a given date, that is, to report information about the assets, liabilities and s
pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn



tockholders’ equity of the entity as of a specific date. pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn



(c) The purpose of the statement of cash flows is to present information about the
pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn



pnflow of cash into the entity (sources), the flow of cash out of the entity (uses),
pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn



and the net increase or decrease in cash during the period.
pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn



(d) The statement of stockholders’ equity reports the changes in each of the co
pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn



mpany’s stockholders’ equity accounts during the accounting period, includin
pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn



g issue and repurchase of stock and the way that net income and distribution
pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn p



of dividends affected the retained earnings of the company during that period
n pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn



.

9. The income statement and the statement of cash flows are dated ―For the Year
pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn



Ended December 31‖ because they report the inflows and outflows of resources
pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn



during a period of time. In contrast, the balance sheet is dated ―At December 31‖
pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn p



because it represents the resources, obligations, and stockholders’ equity at a s
n pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn



pecific date. pn

, 10. Assets are important to creditors and investors because assets provide a basis for
pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn



judging whether sufficient resources are available to operate the company. Asset
pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn p n



s are also important because they could be sold for cash in the event the company
pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn



goes out of business. Liabilities are important to creditors and investors because t
pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn



he company must be able to generate sufficient cash from operations or further bo
pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn



rrowing to meet the payments required by debt agreements. If a business does n
pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn p n pn pn pn pn



ot pay its creditors, the law may give the creditors the right to force the sale of ass
pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn



ets sufficient to meet their claims.
pn pn pn pn pn




11. Net income is the excess of total revenues over total expenses. Net loss is the
pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn



excess of total expenses over total revenues.
pn pn pn pn pn pn pn




12. The equation for the income statement is Revenues -
pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn



Expenses = Net Income (or Net Loss if the amount is negative). Thus, the three
pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn



major items reported on the income statement are (1) revenues, (2) expenses, a
pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn



nd (3) net income. pn pn pn



13. The equation for the balance sheet (also known as the basic accounting equation)
pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn



is: Assets = Liabilities + Stockholders’ Equity. Assets are the probable (expected) f
pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn



uture economic benefits owned by the entity as a result of past transactions. They
pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn p n pn



are the resources owned by the business at a given point in time such as cash, rec
pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn



eivables, inventory, machinery, buildings, land, and patents. Liabilities are probabl
pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn



e (expected) debts or obligations of the entity as a result of past transactions that
pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn



will be paid with assets or services in the future. They are the obligations of the ent
pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn



ity such as accounts payable, notes payable, and bonds payable. Stockholders’ eq
pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn



uity is financing provided by owners of the business and operations. It is the claim
pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn



of the owners to the assets of the business after the creditors’ claims have been sa
pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn



tisfied. It may be thought of as the residual interest because it represents assets m
pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn



inus liabilities. pn




14. The equation for the statement of cash flows is: Cash flows from operating activities
pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn



+ Cash flows from investing activities + Cash flows from financing activities = Chan
pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn



ge in cash for the period. The net cash flows for the period represent the increase o
pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn



r decrease in cash that occurred during the period. Cash flows from operating activ
pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn p n pn pn pn pn



ities are cash flows directly related to earning income (normal business activity inclu
pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn



ding interest paid and income taxes paid). Cash flows from investing activities inclu
pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn



de cash flows that are related to the acquisition or sale of productive assets used by
pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn



the company. Cash flows from financing activities are directly related to the financi
pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn



ng of the enterprise itself.
pn pn pn pn




15. The retained earnings equation is: Beginning Retained Earnings + Net Income -
pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn p n pn pn



Dividends = Ending Retained Earnings. It begins with beginning-of-the-
pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn



year Retained Earnings which is the prior year’s ending retained earnings report
pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn



ed on the balance sheet. The current year's Net Income reported on the income
pn pn pn pn p n pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn



statement is added and the current year's Dividends are subtracted from this a
pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn



mount. The ending Retained Earnings amount is reported on the end-of-
pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn pn



period balance sheet. pn pn
