, ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS
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.
LO 1, BT: K, Difficulty: Easy, TOT: 2 min., AACSB: None, AICPA FC: Reporting, IMA: Reporting
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.

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.

10. One of the advantages Juana would enjoy is that ownership of a corporation is represented by
transferable shares of stock. This would allow Juana to raise money easily by selling a part of her
ownership in the company. Another advantage is that because holders of the shares (stockholders) enjoy
limited liability, they are not personally liable for the debts of the corporate entity. Also, because
ownership can be transferred without dissolving the corporation, the corporationenjoys an unlimited life.

11. The basic accounting equation is Assets = Liabilities + Stockholders’ Equity.
LO 3, BT: K, Difficulty: Easy, TOT: 2 min., AACSB: None, AICPA FC: Reporting, IMA: Reporting
12. (a) Assets are resources owned by a business. Liabilities are creditor claims against assets— that is,
existing debts and obligations. Stockholders’ equity is the ownership claim on total assets.
(b) Stockholders’ equity is affected by stockholders’ investments, dividends, revenues, and expenses.
LO 3, BT: K, Difficulty: Easy, TOT: 2 min., AACSB: None, AICPA FC: Reporting, IMA: Reporting

14. Yes, a business can enter into a transaction in which only the left side of the accounting equation is
affected. An example would be a transaction where an increase in one asset is offset bya decrease
in another asset. An increase in the Equipment account which is offset by a decrease in the Cash account
is a specific example.

15. Business transactions are the economic events of the enterprise recorded by accountantsbecause they
affect the basic accounting equation.

18. No, this treatment is not appropriate. While the transaction does involve a receipt of cash, it does not
represent revenues. Revenues are the gross increase in stockholders’ equity resulting from business
activities entered into for the purpose of earning income. This transaction is simply an additional
investment made by one of the owners of the business.
LO 4, BT: C, Difficulty: Easy, TOT: 2 min., AACSB: None, AICPA FC: Reporting, IMA: Reporting
19. Yes. Net income does appear on the income statement—it is the result of subtracting expenses from
revenues. In addition, net income appears on the retained earnings statement—it is shown as an
addition to the beginning-of-period retained earnings. Indirectly, the net income of a company is also
included on the balance sheet. It is included in the end-of-period retained earnings which appears in the
stockholders’ equity section of the balance sheet.

$57,000 = X + $31,000
X = $26,000 ($57,000 – $31,000)
(Liabl. = Assets - Com. stk. - Rev. + Exp. + Div.)
(c) $600,000 = ($600,000 x 2/3) + X (Stockholders‘ equity)
$600,000 = $400,000 +X
X = $200,000
(Stk. equity = Assets - (2/3 x Assets))
