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 their ownership interest in 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. 6. Name of Statement (a) Income Statement (b) Balance Sheet (c) Cash Flow Statement Alternative Title (a) Statement of Earnings; Statement of Income; Statement of Operations (b) Statement of Financial Position (c) Statement of Cash Flows 7. The heading of each of the four required financial statements should include the following: (a) Name of the entity (b) Name of the statement (c) Date of the statement, or the period of time (d) Unit of measure 8. (a) (b) (c) (d) The purpose of the income statement is to present information about the revenues, expenses, and the net income of an entity for a specified period of time. The purpose of the balance sheet is to report the financial position of an entity at a given date, that is, to report information about the assets, liabilities and stockholders’ equity of the entity as of a specific date. The purpose of the statement of cash flows is to present information about the flow of cash into the entity (sources), the flow of cash out of the entity (uses), and the net increase or decrease in cash during the period. The statement of stockholders’ equity reports the changes in each of the company’s stockholders’ equity accounts during the accounting period, including issue and repurchase of stock and the way that net income and distribution of dividends affected the retained earnings of the company during that period. 9. The income statement and the statement of cash flows are dated ―For the Year Ended December 31‖ because they report the inflows and outflows of resources during a period of time. In contrast, the balance sheet is dated ―At December 31‖ because it represents the resources, obligations, and stockholders’ equity at a specific date. 10. Assets are important to creditors and investors because assets provide a basis for judging whether sufficient resources are available to operate the company. Assets are also important because they could be sold for cash in the event the company goes out of business. Liabilities are important to creditors and investors because the company must be able to generate sufficient cash from operations or further borrowing to meet the payments required by debt agreements. If a business does not pay its creditors, the law may give the creditors the right to force the sale of assets sufficient to meet their claims. 11. Net income is the excess of total revenues over total expenses. Net loss is the excess of total expenses over total revenues. 12. The equation for the income statement is Revenues - Expenses = Net Income (or Net Loss if the amount is negative). Thus, the three major items reported on the income statement are (1) revenues, (2) expenses, and (3) net income. 13. The equation for the balance sheet (also known as the basic accounting equation) is: Assets = Liabilities + Stockholders’ Equity. Assets are the probable (expected) future economic benefits owned by the entity as a result of past transactions. They are the resources owned by the business at a given point in time such as cash, receivables, inventory, machinery, buildings, land, and patents. Liabilities are probable (expected) debts or obligations of the entity as a result of past transactions that will be paid with assets or services in the future. They are the obligations of the entity such as accounts payable, notes payable, and bonds payable. Stockholders’ equity is financing provided by owners of the business and operations. It is the claim of the owners to the assets of the business after the creditors’ claims have been satisfied. It may be thought of as the residual interest because it represents assets minus liabilities. 14. The equation for the statement of cash flows is: Cash flows from operating activities + Cash flows from investing activities + Cash flows from financing activities = Change in cash for the period. The net cash flows for the period represent the increase or decrease in cash that occurred during the period. Cash flows from operating activities are cash flows directly related to earning income (normal business activity including interest paid and income taxes paid). Cash flows from investing activities include cash flows that are related to the acquisition or sale of productive assets used by the company. Cash flows from financing activities are directly related to the financing of the enterprise itself. 15. The retained earnings equation is: Beginning Retained Earnings + Net Income Dividends = Ending Retained Earnings. It begins with beginning-of-the-year Retained Earnings which is the prior year’s ending retained earnings reported on the balance sheet. The current year's Net Income reported on the income statement is added and the current year's Dividends are subtracted from this amount. The ending Retained Earnings amount is reported on the end-of-period balance sheet. 16. Marketing managers and credit managers use customers' financial statements to decide whether to extend them credit for their purchases. Purchasing managers use potential suppliers' financial statements to judge whether the suppliers have the resources necessary to meet current and future demand. Human resource managers use financial statements as a basis for contract negotiations, to determine what pay rates the company can afford. The net income figure even serves as a basis to pay bonuses not only to management, but to other employees through profit sharing plans. 17. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is the U.S. government agency which determines the financial statements that public companies must provide to stockholders and the measurement rules used in producing those statements. The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) is the private sector body given the primary responsibility to work out the detailed rules which become generally accepted accounting principles. 18. Management is responsible for preparing the financial statements and other information contained in the annual report and for the maintenance of a system of internal accounting policies, procedures and controls. These measures are intended to provide reasonable assurance, at appropriate cost, that transactions are processed in accordance with company authorization as well as properly recorded and reported in the financial statements, and that assets are adequately safeguarded. Independent auditors examine the financial reports (prepared by management) and the underlying records to assure that the reports represent what they claim and conform with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). 19. A sole proprietorship is an unincorporated business owned by one individual. A partnership is an unincorporated association of two or more individuals to carry on a business. A corporation is a business that is organized under the laws of a particular state whereby a charter is granted and the entity is authorized to issue shares of stock as evidence of ownership by the owners (i.e., stockholders). 20. A CPA firm normally renders three services: auditing, management advisory services, and tax services. Auditing involves examination of the records and financial reports to determine whether they ―fairly present‖ the financial position and results of operations of the entity. Management advisory services involve management advice to individual business enterprises and other entities, much like those provided by a consulting firm. Tax services involve providing tax planning advice to clients (both individuals and businesses) and preparation of their tax returns.

As with any open-ended project, it is possible for students to devote a large amount of time to these assignments. While students often benefit from the extra effort, we find that some become frustrated by the perceived difficulty of the task. You can reduce student frustration and anxiety by making your expectations clear. For example, when our goal is to sharpen research skills, we devote class time to discussing research strategies. When we want the students to focus on a real accounting issue, we offer suggestions about possible companies or industries. MINI-EXERCISES M1–1.

Req. 1 The personal residences of the organizers are not resources of the business entity. Therefore, they should be excluded. Req. 2 What do the amounts for service trucks ($57,000) and service equipment ($30,000) represent? It is not indicated whether the $87,000 is their cost when acquired or the current market value on December 31 of the current year. Req. 3 The lists of company resources (i.e., assets) and company obligations suggests the following areas of concern: Company resources: (1) Cash, inventories, and bills due from customers (i.e., accounts receivable)– these items tend to fluctuate; they may be significantly more or less at date of the loan and during the term of the loan. (2) Service trucks and equipment–as noted above, it is not indicated whether the $87,000 is cost when acquired or current market value on December 31 of the current year. (3) Personal residences–as noted above, these items are not resources of the business entity and should be excluded. Company obligations: (4) Unpaid wages of $19,000, which are now due, pose a serious problem because only $12,000 of cash is currently available. (5) Unpaid taxes and accounts payable to suppliers–it is not clear when these payments of $8,000 and $10,000, respectively, are due (cash needed to pay them is a problem). (6) The $45,000 owed on the service trucks probably is long term; however, shortterm installments may be required–these details are very important to the bank. (7) Loan from organizer–the expected payment date and interest rate are important issues for which details are not provided. This is a major cash demand. In general, the bank should request more details about the specific resources and debts. The personal residences are not a part of the resources of the business entity. The bank should request that the owners provide audited information about the entity's assets and debts. CP1–4. (continued) Req. 4 The amount of stockholders’ equity (i.e., assets minus liabilities) for Northwest Company, assuming the amounts provided by the owners are acceptable, would be: Assets ($311,000–$190,000) Liabilities Stockholders’ equity $121,000 92,000 $ 29,000 CP1–5. Req. 1–Deficiencies: (1) (2) (3) (4) (5) (6) (7) (8) Heading: titles of the reports are missing and dates are not in proper form. Income statement should show revenues and expenses separately and provide the amount of net income. Income from sales of merchandise should be ―Sales revenue‖ or ―Merchandise sales revenue.‖ Balance sheet should separately report assets, liabilities, and stockholders' equity. Resources and Debts are not appropriate captions for the balance sheet. Retained earnings, $32,250, and Common stock, $65,000, should be reported under stockholders' equity. Due from customers, $13,000, should be reported under assets. Supplies on hand, $15,000, should be reported under assets. Accumulated depreciation, $12,000, should be subtracted from service vehicles. CP1–5.

Req. 1 You should forcefully assert the need for an independent audit of the financial statements each year because this is the best way to assure credibility– conformance with GAAP, completeness and absence of bias. You should firmly reject ―Uncle Ray‖ as the auditor because there is no evidence about his competence as an accountant or auditor. Also, he is related to the partner who prepares the financial statements; there is a conflict of interest. Req. 2 You should strongly recommend the selection of an independent CPA in public practice because the financial statements should be audited by a competent and independent professional who must follow prescribed accounting and auditing standards on a strictly independent basis. An audit by ―Uncle Ray‖ would not meet any of these requisites, particularly the important one in this case– independence (and absence of bias). CP1–7. The textbook does not explicitly cover the elements of independence. The case is designed to permit the students to develop their own values. We have found that it is useful to emphasize the difference between independence in fact and in appearance during these discussions. 1. Most students feel that there is no problem with independence if the stock held is immaterial in amount. When asked about a possible headline that might read ―Auditor who was shareholder is accused of fraud,‖ most students see a problem with the appearance. In fact, the AICPA does not apply a materiality threshold where there is a direct financial interest. Any holding of stock is a problem. 2. This is an example of an indirect holding of stock. A materiality threshold is applied in these situations. There could be a question of independence if the auditor held a material interest in the mutual fund (relative to her net worth) and the mutual fund held a material interest in the company that she audited. 3. The AICPA Code of Professional Conduct applies only to audit professionals who are members (though most state laws incorporate similar rules). Bob's employers may want to assign him to a different company but there is no conflict with the Code. 4. Clearly there is an ethics violation in this case because she would audit statements that covered a period of time where she was responsible for the accounting operations of the company. This is a problem both in appearance and in fact. 5. The Code indicates that a mortgage loan made to the partner in charge would be an ethics violation unless all of the following four conditions were met: (1) that the loan was made under normal lending procedures, terms, and requirements, (2) it was obtained before the bank became an audit client, (3) the loan is kept current at all times, and (4) the fair value of the collateral equals or exceeds the outstanding balance. This issue is an excellent example of how ethics rules can change over time. The savings and loan debacle and the banking crisis caused the profession to reconsider the issue of loans to auditors.

Chapter 2 Investing and Financing Decisions and the Accounting System ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS 1. (a) The separate entity assumption requires that business transactions are separate from the transactions of the owners. For example, the purchase of a truck by the owner for personal use is not recorded as an asset of the business. (b) The monetary unit assumption requires information to be reported in the national monetary unit without any adjustment for changes in purchasing power. That means that each business will account for and report its financial results primarily in terms of the national monetary unit, such as Yen in Japan and Australian dollars in Australia. (c) Under the going concern assumption, businesses are assumed to operate into the foreseeable future. That is, they are not expected to liquidate. (d) The historical cost principle is a measurement model that requires assets to be recorded at the cash-equivalent cost on the date of the transaction. Cash-equivalent cost is the cash paid plus the dollar value of all noncash considerations. 2. Accounting assumptions are necessary because they reflect the scope of accounting and the expectations that set certain limits on the way accounting information is reported. 3. (a) An asset is an economic resource owned or controlled by a company; it has measurable value and is expected to benefit the company by producing cash inflows or reducing cash outflows in the future. (b) A current asset is an asset that will be used or turned into cash within one year. (c) A liability is a measurable obligation resulting from a past transaction; it is expected to be settled in the future by transferring assets or providing services. (d) A current liability is a short-term obligation that will be paid in cash (or other current assets) within the current operating cycle or one year, whichever is longer. (e) Additional paid-in capital is the owner-provided financing to the business that represents the amount of contributed capital less the par value of the stock. Retained earnings are the cumulative earnings of a company that are not distributed to the owners and are reinvested in the business. An account is a standardized format used by organizations to accumulate the dollar effects of transactions on each financial statement item. (f) 4. 5. The accounting equation is: Assets = Liabilities + Stockholders' Equity 6. A business transaction is: (a) an exchange of resources (assets) and obligations (debts) between a business and one or more outside parties, and (b) a measurable internal event that directly affects the entity but where there is no exchange with external parties. An example of situation (a) is the sale of goods or services to customers. An example of situation (b) is the use of equipment in operations. 7. Debit is the left side of a journal entry and T-account and credit is the right side of a journal entry and T-account. A debit is an increase in assets and a decrease in liabilities and stockholders' equity. A credit is the opposite -- a decrease in assets and an increase in liabilities and stockholders' equity. 8. Transaction analysis is the process of studying a transaction to determine its economic effect on the entity in terms of the accounting equation: Assets = Liabilities + Stockholders' Equity The two principles underlying the process are: * every transaction affects at least two accounts. * the accounting equation must remain in balance after each transaction. The three steps in transaction analysis are: (1) determine what the company received: identify and classify accounts and the direction and amount of the effects. (2) determine what the company gave: identify and classify accounts and the direction and amount of the effects. (3) determine that the accounting equation (A = L + SE) remains in balance. 9. The equalities that must be maintained in transaction analysis are: (a) Assets = Liabilities + Stockholders' Equity (b) Debits = Credits 10. A journal entry is an accounting method for expressing the effects of a transaction on accounts in a debits-equal-credits format. The title(s) of the account(s) to be debited is (are) listed first and the title(s) of the account(s) to be credited is (are) listed underneath the debited accounts. The debited amounts are placed in a left-hand column and the credited amounts are placed in a righthand column. 11. The T-account is a tool for summarizing transaction effects for each account, determining balances, and drawing inferences about a company's activities. It is a simplified representation of a ledger account with a debit column on the left and a credit column on the right. 12. The current ratio is computed as current assets divided by current liabilities. It measures a company’s liquidity -- the ability of the company to pay its short-term obligations with current assets. A ratio above 1.0 normally suggests that the company has sufficient current assets to settle short-term obligations. Sophisticated cash management systems allow many companies to minimize funds invested in current assets and have a current ratio below 1.0. However, a ratio that is too high in relation to other competitors in the industry may indicate inefficient use of resources. 13. Investing activities on the statement of cash flows include the buying and selling of productive assets and investments. Financing activities include borrowing and repaying debt, issuing and repurchasing stock, and paying dividends.

As with any open-ended project, it is possible for students to devote a large amount of time to these assignments. While students often benefit from the extra effort, we find that some become frustrated by the perceived difficulty of the task. You can reduce student frustration and anxiety by making your expectations clear. For example, when our goal is to sharpen research skills, we devote class time to discussing research strategies. When we want the students to focus on a real accounting issue, we offer suggestions about possible companies or industries. MINI-EXERCISES M2–1.

Current Ratio = Current Assets ÷ Current Liabilities 2018 $280,000 ÷ $155,000 = 1.806 2019 $270,000 ÷ $ 250,000 = 1.080 This ratio indicates that Matteo’s Taco Company has sufficient current assets to settle current liabilities, but that the ratio has also decreased between 2018 and 2019 by .726 (40%). Matteo’s Taco Company ratio of 1.080 is lower than Chipotle’s 2019 ratio of 1.609, indicating that Matteo’s Taco Company appears to have weaker liquidity than Chipotle. Because the restaurant industry typically has high immediate cash inflows from customers, both companies can maintain a lower current ratio. M2–14.
