1. True. |Virtually |every |organization |and |person |in |our |society |uses |accounting |information.
|Businesses, |investors, |creditors, |government |agencies, |and |not-for-profit |organizations |must |use

|accounting |information | to |operate |effectively.

2. Accounting |is |the |process |of |identifying, |recording, |and | communicating | the |economic |events |of
|an |organization |to |interested |users |of |the |information. |The |first |activity |of |the |accounting |process

|is |to |identify |economic |events |that |are |relevant |to |a |particular |business. |Once |identified |and

|measured, |the |events |are |recorded |to |provide |a |history |of |the |financial |activities |of |the

|organization. |Recording |consists |of |keeping |a |chronological |diary |of |these |measured |events |in |an

|orderly |and |systematic |manner. |The |information |is |communicated |through |the |preparation |and

|distribution |of |accounting | reports, | the | most | common | of | which |are | called |financial

|statements. |A |vital |element |in |the |communication |process |is |the |accountant’s |ability |and

|responsibility |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 |decision |makers.

(b) To |assist |management, |accounting |provides |internal |reports. |Examples |include |financial
|comparisons |of |operating |alternatives, |projections |of | income |from |new |sales |campaigns,

|and |forecasts |of | cash |needs |for |the |next |year.

4. (a) Investors |(owners) |use |accounting |information |to |make |decisions |to |buy, |hold, |or |sell |stock.
(b) Creditors |use |accounting |information |to |evaluate |the |risks |of |granting |credit |or |lending |money.

5. False. |Bookkeeping |usually |involves |only |the |recording |of |economic |events |and |therefore |is |just
|one |part |of |the |entire |accounting |process. |Accounting, |on |the |other |hand, |involves |the |entire

|process |of |identifying, |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 |true |not |only |at |the |time |the |land |is |purchased, |but |also |over |the |time |the |land |is

|held. |In |determining |which |measurement |principle |to |use |(historical |cost |or |fair |value) |companies

|weigh |the |factual |nature |of |cost |figures |versus |the |relevance |of |fair |value. |In |general, |companies

|use |historical |cost. |Only |in |situations |where |assets |are |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 |money |be |included |in |the |accounting |records. |This |assumption |enables |accounting |to

|quantify |(measure) |economic |events.
