Financial Statements and Business Decisions
ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  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.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  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.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  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.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  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.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  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.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  6. Name of Statement Alternative Title
    (a) Income Statement (a) Statement of Earnings; Statement of
    Income; Statement of Operations
    (b) Balance Sheet (b) Statement of Financial Position
    (c) Cash Flow Statement (c) Statement of Cash Flows<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  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<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  8. (a) 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.
    (b) 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\u2019 equity of the entity as of a specific date.
    (c) 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.
    (d) The statement of stockholders\u2019 equity reports the changes in each of the
    company\u2019s stockholders\u2019 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.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  9. The income statement and the statement of cash flows are dated \u2015For the Year
    Ended December 31\u2016 because they report the inflows and outflows of resources
    during a period of time. In contrast, the balance sheet is dated \u2015At December 31\u2016
    because it represents the resources, obligations, and stockholders\u2019 equity at a
    specific date.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  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.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  11. Net income is the excess of total revenues over total expenses. Net loss is the
    excess of total expenses over total revenues.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  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.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  13. The equation for the balance sheet (also known as the basic accounting equation)
    is: Assets = Liabilities + Stockholders\u2019 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\u2019 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\u2019 claims have been satisfied. It may be thought of as the residual interest
    because it represents assets minus liabilities.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  14. The equation for the statement of cash flows is: Cash flows from operating activities<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
