ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS
1. Accounting is a system that collects and processes (analyzes, measures, and records)
financial information about an organization and reports that information to decision
makers.
2. Financial accounting involves preparation of the four basic financial statements and related
disclosures for external decision makers. Managerial accounting involves the preparation
of detailed plans, budgets, forecasts, and performance reports for internal decision makers.
3. Financial reports are used by both internal and external groups and individuals. The internal
groups are comprised of the various managers of the entity. The external groups include
the owners, investors, creditors, governmental agencies, other interested parties, and the
public at large.
4. Investors purchase all or part of a business and hope to gain by receiving part of what the
company earns and/or selling the company in the future at a higher price than they paid.
Creditors lend money to a company for a specific length of time and hope to gain by
charging interest on the loan.
5. In a society each organization can be defined as a separate accounting entity. An
accounting entity is the organization for which financial data are to be collected. Typical
accounting entities are a business, a church, a governmental unit, a university and other
nonprofit organizations such as a hospital and a welfare organization. A business typically
is defined and treated as a separate entity because the owners, creditors, investors, and
other interested parties need to evaluate its performance and its potential separately from
other entities and from its owners.
