Conceptual Framework and Financial Statements

Short Exercises

(10 min.) S 1-1

• Corporation and Limited-liability partnership (LLP). If any of

these businesses fails and cannot pay its liabilities, creditors cannot force the owners to pay the business’s debts from the owners’ personal assets.

• Proprietorship. There is a single owner of the business, so

the owner is answerable to no other owner.

• Partnership. If the partnership fails and cannot pay its

liabilities, creditors can force the partners to pay the business’s debts from their personal assets. A partnership affords more protection for creditors than a proprietorship because there are two or more owners to share this liability.

• Assets are the economic resources of a business that are

expected to produce a benefit in the future.Owners’ equity represents the insider claims of a business, the owners’ interest in its assets.Assets and owners’ equity differ in that assets are resources and owners’ equity is a claim to assets.Assets must be at least as large as owners’ equity, so equity can be smaller than assets.

• Both liabilities and owners’ equity are claims to assets.

Liabilities are the outsider claims to the assets of a business; they are obligations to pay creditors.Owners’ equity represents the insider claims to the assets of the business; they are the owners’ residual interest in its assets after claims from its creditors.
