1. Some users of accounting information include managers, employees, investors, creditors,
k k k k k k k k k
customers, and the government.
k k k k
2. The role of accounting is to provide information for managers to use in operating the business. In
k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k
addition, accounting provides information to others to use in assessing the economic
k k k k k k k k k k k k
performance and condition of the business.
k k k k k k
3. The corporate form allows the company to obtain large amounts of resources by issuing stock.
k k k k k k k k k k k k k k
For this reason, most companies that require large investments in property, plant, and equipment are
k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k
organized as corporations.
k k k
4. No. The business entity concept limits the recording of economic data to transactions directly
k k k k k k k k k k k k k
affecting the activities of the business. The payment of the interest of $4,500 is a personal
k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k
transaction of Josh Reilly and should not be recorded by Dispatch Delivery Service.
k k k k k k k k k k k k k
5. The land should be recorded at its cost of $167,500 to Reliable Repair Service. This is consistent with
k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k
the cost concept.
k k k
6. a. No. The offer of $2,000,000 and the increase in the assessed value should not be recognized in
k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k
the accounting records because land is recorded on the cost basis.
k k k k k k k k k k k
b. Cash would increase by $2,125,000, land would decrease by $900,000, and owner’s equity
k k k k k k k k k k k k
would increase by $1,225,000.
k k k k
7. An account receivable is a claim against a customer for goods or services sold. An account
k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k
payable is an amount owed to a creditor for goods or services purchased. Therefore, an account
k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k
receivable in the records of the seller is an account payable in the records of the purchaser.
k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k
8. (b) The business realized net income of $91,000 ($679,000 – $588,000).
