Chapter 15
The Road Traveled
Key Points
Chapters 11 – 14 examined the role of
accounting information in planning business
investing and financing activities. Chapter
11 introduced the time value of money and
showed how it is used to make financial
decisions. Chapter 12 used the time value
of money concept to determine if business
investment activities should be undertaken.
Chapters 13 and 14 explored the issues
surrounding business financing decisions.
Chapter 13 examined equity financing while
Chapter 14 examined debt financing.
In a corporation, legal capital is maintained
separate from additional paid-in capital.
In a corporation, retained earnings are
maintained separate from contributed
capital.
All notes, regardless of type are recorded at
face value but reported at carrying value.
You Are Here
Now that we understand the process of
planning for investing and financing
activities, we explore the role of the
accounting system during the performing
phase of business. That is, after planning,
the company must begin to operate. So, it
must raise capital and then invest the
capital. Chapters 15 and 16 examine the
process of recording and evaluating
financing and investing activities. Chapter
15 considers the recording and evaluating of
financing activities.
The Road Ahead
Chapter 16 examines the recording and
evaluating of investing activities.

DISCUSSION OUTLINE
Chapter 15’s discussion should focus on the different types of accounts used corporations to
record equity financing activities. This discussion should tie back to Chapter 13 when we
planned corporate ownership. Then we switch gears as we focus on recording and
communicating debt financing. This discussion should tie back to Chapter 14 when we planned
debt financing activities.
In Chapters 13 and 14 we planned financing activities. How does Chapter 15 add to that
discussion?

Chapter 15 adds another piece to the puzzle as we learn how financing activities are
recorded and reported.
