Question 1–1 vg
Financial accounting is concerned with providing relevant financial information
vg vg vg vg vg vg vg vg vg
about various kinds of organizations to different types of external users. The primary
vg vg vg vg vg vg vg vg vg vg vg vg vg
focus of financial accounting is on the financial information provided by profit-
vg vg vg vg vg vg vg vg vg vg vg
oriented companies to their present and potential investors and creditors.
vg vg vg vg vg vg vg vg vg vg
Question 1–2 vg
Resources are efficiently allocated if they are given to enterprises that will use t
vg vg vg vg vg vg vg vg vg vg vg vg vg
hem to provide goods and services desired by society and not to enterprises that will
vg vg vg vg vg vg vg vg vg vg vg vg vg vg vg
waste them. The capital markets are the mechanism that fosters this efficient allocati
vg vg vg vg vg vg vg vg vg vg v g vg
on of resources.
vg vg
Question 1–3 vg
Two extremely important variables that must be considered in any investment d
vg vg vg vg vg vg vg vg vg vg vg
ecision are the expected rate of return and the uncertainty or risk of that expected ret
vg vg vg vg vg vg vg vg vg vg vg vg vg vg vg
urn.
Question 1–4 vg
In the long run, a company will be able to provide investors and creditors with a
vg vg vg vg vg vg vg vg vg vg vg vg vg vg vg v
rate of return only if it can generate a profit. That is, it must be able to use the resour
g vg vg vg vg vg vg vg vg vg vg vg vg vg vg vg vg vg vg vg
ces provided to it to generate cash receipts from selling a product or service that exce
vg vg vg vg vg vg vg vg vg vg vg vg vg vg vg
ed the cash disbursements necessary to provide that product or service.
vg vg vg vg vg vg vg vg vg vg
Question 1–5 vg

vg vg vg vg vg vg vg vg vg v g vg
ors with information that will help them make investment and credit decisions.
vg vg vg vg vg vg vg vg vg vg vg
Question 1–6 vg
Net operating cash flows are the difference between cash receipts and cash disbu
vg vg vg vg vg vg vg vg vg vg vg vg
rsements during a period of time from transactions related to providing goods and se
vg vg vg vg vg vg vg v g vg vg vg vg vg
rvices to customers. Net operating cash flows may not be a good indicator of future c
vg vg vg vg vg vg vg vg vg vg vg vg vg vg vg
ash flows because, by ignoring uncompleted transactions, they may not match the acc
vg vg vg vg vg vg vg vg vg vg vg vg
omplishments and sacrifices of the period. vg vg vg vg vg
,Question 1–7 vg
GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles) are a dynamic set of both bro
vg vg vg vg vg vg vg vg v g vg vg
ad and specific guidelines that a company should follow in measuring and reporting
vg vg vg vg vg vg vg vg vg vg v g vg vg
the information in their financial statements and related notes. It is important that al
vg vg vg vg vg vg vg vg v g v g vg vg vg
l companies follow GAAP so that investors can compare financial information across
vg vg vg vg vg vg vg vg vg vg vg
companies to make their resource allocation decisions.
vg vg vg vg vg vg vg
Question 1–8 vg
In 1934, Congress created the SEC and gave it the job of setting accounting and
vg vg vg vg vg vg vg vg vg vg vg vg vg vg vg
reporting standards for companies whose securities are publicly traded. The SEC has
vg vg vg vg vg vg vg vg vg vg vg vg
retained the power, but has relied on private sector bodies to create the standards. Th
vg vg vg vg vg vg vg vg vg vg vg vg vg vg
e current private sector body responsible for setting accounting standards is the FAS
vg vg vg vg vg vg vg vg vg vg vg vg
B.
Question 1–9 vg
Auditors are independent, professional accountants who examine financial state
vg vg vg vg vg vg vg vg
ments to express an opinion. The opinion reflects the auditors‗ assessment of the stat
vg vg vg vg vg vg vg vg vg vg vg vg vg
ements' fairness, which is determined by the extent to which they are prepared in co
vg vg vg vg vg vg vg vg vg vg vg vg vg vg
mpliance with GAAP. The auditor adds credibility to the financial statements, which
vg vg v g vg vg vg vg vg vg vg vg v
increases the confidence of capital market participants relying on that information.

vg vg vg vg vg vg
Creation of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board
vg vg vg vg vg vg vg
Regulate types of non-audit audit services vg vg vg vg vg
Require lead audit partner rotation every 5 year
vg vg vg vg vg vg vg
Corporate executive accountability vg vg
Addresses conflicts of interest for security analystsvg vg vg vg vg vg
Internal control reporting and auditor opinion about controls
vg vg vg vg vg vg vg
Question 1–11 vg
New accounting standards, or changes in standards, can have significant differen
vg vg vg vg vg vg vg vg vg vg
tial effects on companies, investors and creditors, and other interest groups by causin
vg vg vg vg vg vg vg vg vg vg vg vg
g redistribution of wealth. There also is the possibility that standards could harm the
vg vg vg v g vg vg vg vg vg vg vg vg vg vg
economy as a whole by causing companies to change their behavior.
vg vg vg vg vg vg vg vg vg vg
Question 1–12 vg
The FASB undertakes a series of elaborate information gathering steps before is
vg vg vg vg vg vg vg vg vg vg vg
suing an accounting standard to determine consensus as to the preferred method of ac
vg vg vg vg vg vg vg vg vg vg vg vg vg
counting, as well as to anticipate adverse economic consequences.

Question 1–13 vg
The purpose of the conceptual framework is to guide the Board in developing ac
vg vg vg vg vg vg vg vg vg vg vg vg vg

ich to consider merits of alternatives. The framework does not prescribe GAAP.
