DISCUSSION QUESTIONS
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.

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 directly
PR
affecting the activities of the business. The payment of the interest of $4,500 is a personal
transaction of Josh Reilly and should not be recorded by Dispatch Delivery Service.
5. The land should be recorded at its cost of $167,500 to Reliable Repair Service. This is consistent
with the cost concept.
6. a. No. The offer of $2,000,000 and the increase in the assessed value should not be recognized

b. Cash would increase by $2,125,000, land would decrease by $900,000, and owner’s equity
would increase by $1,225,000.

9. (a) The business incurred a net loss of $75,000 ($640,000 – $715,000).
