1. True. Virtually every organization and person in our society uses accounting information. Businesses, inve st

2. Accounting is the process of identifying, recording, and communicating the economic events of an organ iza
x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x
tion to interested users of the information. The first activity of the accounting process is to identify eco nomi
x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x
c events that are relevant to a particular business. Once identified and measured, the events are rec orded t
x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x
o provide a history of the financial activities of the organization. Recording consists of keeping a c hronologic
x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x
al diary of these measured events in anorderly and systematic manner. The information is com municated th
x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x
rough the preparation and distribution of accounting reports, the most common of whic h are called fina
x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x
ncial statements.A vital element in the communication process is the accountant’s ability and responsibility
x x x x x x x x x x x x x x
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 de
x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x
cision makers. x
(b) To assist management, accounting provides internal reports. Examples include financial comparison s
x x x x x x x x x x x x x
of operating alternatives, projections of income from new sales campaigns,and forecasts of cash nee
x x x x x x x x x x x x x
ds for the next year. x x x x

x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x

5. False. Bookkeeping usually involves only the recording of economic events and therefore is just one part of t
x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x
he entire accounting process. Accounting, on the other hand, involves the entire process of identifying
x x x x x x x x x x x x x x
, 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 tru
x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x
e not only at the time the land is purchased, but also over the time the land is held. In determining whi ch me

asurement principle to use (historical cost or fair value) companies weigh the factual nature of cost figures v
x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x
ersus the relevance of fair value. In general, companies use historical cost. Only in situations whe re assets ar
x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x
e 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 m
x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x
oney be included in the accounting records. This assumption enables accounting to quantify (measure) eco
x x x x x x x x x x x x x x
nomic events. x
