    ©McGraw - Hill Companies, 200 9 Solutions Manual, Chapter 1 1 Chapter 1 Accounting in Business QUESTIONS 1. The purpose of accounting is to provide decision makers with relevant and reliable information to help them make better decisions. Examples include information for people making investments, loans, and business plans. 2. Technology reduces the time, effort, and cost of recordkeeping. There is still a demand for people who can design accounting systems, supervise their operation, analyze complex transactions, and interpret reports. Demand also exists for people who can effectively use computers to prepare and analyze accounting reports. Technology will never substitute for qualified people with abilities to prepare, use, analyze, and interpret accounting information. 3. External users and their uses of accounting information include: (a) lenders, to measure the risk and return of loans; (b) shareholders, to assess whether to buy, sell, or hold their shares; (c) directors, to oversee their interests in the organization; (d) employees and labor unions, to judge the fairness of wages and assess future employment opportunities; and (e) regulators, to determine whether the organization is complying with regulations. Other users are voters, legislators, government officials, contributors to nonprofits, suppliers and customers. 4. Business owners and managers use accounting information to help answer questions such as: What resources does an organization own? What debts are owed? How much income is earned? Are expenses reasonable for the level of sales? Are customers’ accounts being promptly collected? 5. Service businesses include: Standard and Poor’s, Dun & Bradstreet, Merrill Lynch, Southwest Airlines, CitiCorp, Humana, Charles Schwab, and Prudential. Businesses offering products include Nike, Reebok, Gap, Apple Computer, Ford Motor Co., Philip Morris, Coca - Cola, Best Buy, and Circuit City. 6. The internal role of accounting is to serve the organization’s internal operating functions. It does this by providing useful information for internal users in completing their tasks more effectively and efficiently. By providing this information, accounting helps the organization reach its overall goals. 7. Accounting professionals offer many services including auditing, management advice, tax planning, business valuation, and money management. 8. Marketing managers are likely interested in information such as sales volume, advertising costs, promotion costs, salaries of sales personnel, and sales commissions.

Accounting is described as a service activity because it serves decision makers by providing information to help them make better business decisions. 10. Some accounting - related professions include consultant, financial analyst, underwriter, financial planner, appraiser, FBI investigator, market researcher, and system designer. 11. Ethic s rules require that auditors avoid auditing clients in which they have a direct investment, or if the auditor’s fee is dependent on the figures in the client’s reports. This will prevent others from doubting the quality of the auditor’s report. 12. In addition to preparing tax returns, tax accountants help companies and individuals plan future transactions to minimize the amount of tax to be paid. They are also actively involved in estate planning and in helping set up organizations. Some tax accountants work for regulatory agencies such as the IRS or the various state departments of revenue. These tax accountants help to enforce tax laws. 13. The objectivity concept means that financial statement information is supported by independent, unbiased evidence other than someone’s opinion or imagination. This concept increases the reliability and verifiability of financial statement information. 14. This treatment is justified by both the cost principle and the going - concern assumption . 15. The revenue recognition principle provides guidance for managers and auditors so they know when to recognize revenue. If revenue is recognized too early, the business looks more profitable than it is. On the other hand, if revenue is recognized too late the business looks less profitable than it is. This principle demands that revenue be recognized when it is both earned and can be measured reliably. The amount of revenue should equal the value of the assets received or expected to be received from the business’s operating activities covering a specific time period. 16. Business organizations can be organized in one of three basic forms: sole proprietorship, partnership, or corporation. These forms have implications for legal liability, taxation, continuity, number of owners, and legal status as follows: Proprietorship Partnership Corporation Business entity yes yes yes Legal entity no no yes Limited liability no* no* yes Unlimited life no no yes Business taxed no no yes One owner allowed yes no yes * Proprietorships and partnerships that are set up as LLCs provide limited liability . 17. (a) Assets are resources owned or controlled by a company that are expected to yield future benefits. (b) Liabilities are creditors’ claims on assets that reflect obligations to provide assets, products or services to others. (c) Equity is the owner’s claim on assets and is equal to assets minus liabilities. (d) Net assets refer to equity. 18. Equity is increased by investments from the owner and by net income. It is decreased by withdrawals by the owner and by a net loss (which is the excess of expenses over revenues).

    ©McGraw - Hill Companies, 200 9 Solutions Manual, Chapter 1 3 19. Accounting principles consist of (a) general and (b) specific principles. General principles are the basic assumptions, concepts, and guidelines for preparing financial statements. They stem from long - used accounting practices. Specific principles are detailed rules used in reporting on business transactions and events. They usually arise from the rulings of authoritative and regulatory groups such as the Financial Accounting Standards Board or the Securities and Exchange Commission. 20. Revenue (or sales) is the amount received from selling products and services. 21. Net income (also called income, profit or earnings ) equals revenues minus expenses (if revenues exceed expenses). Net income increases equity. If expenses exceed revenues, the company has a Net Loss. Net loss decreases equity. 22. The four basic financial statements are: income statement, statement of owner’s equity , balance sheet, and statement of cash flows. 23. An income statement reports a company’s revenues and expenses along with the resulting net income or loss over a period of time. 24. Rent expense, utilities expense, administrative expenses, advertising and promotion expenses, maintenance expense, and salaries and wages expenses are some examples of business expenses. 25. The statement of owner’s equity explains the changes in equity from net income or loss, and from any owner contributions and withdrawals over a period of time. 26. The balance sheet describes a company’s financial position (types and amounts of assets, liabilities, and equity) at a point in time. 27. The statement of cash flows reports on the cash inflows and outflows from a company’s operating, investing, and financing activities. 28. Return on assets, also called return on investment, is a profitability measure that is useful in evaluating management, analyzing and forecasting profits, and planning activities. It is computed as net income divided by the average total assets. For example, if we have an average annual balance of $100 in a bank account and it earns interest of $5 for the year, then our return on assets is $5 / $100 or 5%. The return on assets is a popular measure for analysis because it allows us to compare companies of different sizes and in different industries. 29 A . Return refers to income, and risk is the uncertainty about the return we expect to make. The lower the risk of an investment, the lower the expected return. For example, savings accounts pay a low return because of the low risk of a bank not returning the principal with interest. Higher risk implies higher, but riskier, expected returns. 30 B . Organizations carry out three major activities: financing, investing, and operating. Financing provides the means used to pay for resources. Investing refers to the acquisition and disposing of resources necessary to carry out the organization’s plans. Operating activities are the actual carrying out of these plans. (Planning is the glue that connects these activities, including the organization’s ideas, goals and strategies.)

    ©McGraw - Hill Companies, 2009 F undamental Accounting Principles , 19th Edition 4 31 B . An organization’s financing activities (liabilities and equity) pay for investing activities (assets). An organization cannot have more or less assets than its liabilities and equity combined and, similarly, it cannot have more or less liabilities and equity than its total assets. This means: assets = liabilities + equity. This relation is called the accounting equation (also called the balance sheet equation ), and it applies to organizations at all times. 32. The dollar amounts in Best Buy’s financial statements are rounded to the nearest $1,000,000. Best Buy’s consolidated statement of earnings (or income statement) covers the fiscal year (consisting of 5 3 weeks) ended March 3, 2007 . Best Buy also reports comparative income statements for the previous two years (consisting of 52 weeks) . 33. In thousands, Circuit City’s accounting equation is: Assets = Liabilities + E quity $4,007,283 = $2,216,039 + $1,791,244 3 4 . At December 31, 2006 , Radio Shack had (in millions ) assets of $ 2,070.0 , liabilities of $ 1,416.2 , and equity of $ 653.8 . 3 5 . The independent auditor for Apple, Inc., is KPMG LLP . The auditor expressly states that “our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit s .” The auditor also states that “these consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. ”

    ©McGraw - Hill Companies, 2009 F undamental Accounting Principles , 19th Edition 6 Quick Study 1 - 3 Accounting professionals practice in at least four main areas. These four areas, along with a listing of some work opportunities in each, are: 1. Financial accounting • Preparation • Analysis • Auditing (external) • Consulting • Investigation 2. Managerial accounting • Cost accounting • Budgeting • Auditing (internal) • Consulting 3. Tax accounting • Preparation • Planning • Regulatory • Consulting • Investigation 4. Accounting - related • Lending • Consulting • Analyst • Investigator • Appraiser Quick Study 1 - 4 Internal controls serve several purposes: • They involve monitoring an organization’s activities to promote efficiency and to prevent wrongful use of its resources. • They help ensure the validity and credibility of accounting reports. • They are often crucial to effective operations and reliable reporting. More generally, the absence of internal controls can adversely affect the effectiveness of domestic and global financial markets. Examples of internal controls include cash registers with internal tapes or drives, scanners at doorways to identify tagged products, overhead video cameras, security guards, and many others.

Business entity assumption Quick Study 1 - 6 The choice of an accounting method when more than one alternative method is acceptable often has ethical implications. This is because accounting information can have major impacts on individuals’ (and firms’) well - being. To illustrate, many companies base compensation of managers on the amount of reported income. When the choice of an accounting method affects the amount of reported income, the amount of compensation is also affected. Similarly, if workers in a division receive bonuses based on the division’s income, its computation has direct financial implications for these individuals.

Auditing professionals with competing audit clients are likely to learn valuable information about each client that the other clients would benefit from knowing. In this situation the auditor must take care to maintain the confidential nature of information about each client. b. Accounting professionals who prepare tax returns can face situations where clients wish to claim deductions they cannot substantiate. Also, clients sometimes exert pressure to use methods not allowed or questionable under the law. Issues of confidentiality also arise when these professionals have access to clients’ personal records. c. Managers face several situations demanding ethical decision making in their dealings with employees. Examples include fairness in performance evaluations, salary adjustments, and promotion recommendations. They can also include avoiding any perceived or real harassment of employees by the manager or any other employees. It can also include issues of confidentiality regarding personal information known to managers. d . Situations involving ethical decision making in coursework include performing independent work on examinations and individually completing assignments/projects. It can also extend to promptly returning reference materials so others can enjoy them, and to properly preparing for class to efficiently use the time and question period to not detract from others’ instructional benefits.

Using the accounting equation: Assets = Liabilities + Equity $137,000 = $110,000 + ? Thus, equity = $27,000 b. Using the accounting equation at the beginning of the year: Assets = Liabilities + Equity $259,000 = ? + $194,250 Thus, beginning liabilities = $64,750 Using the accounting equation at the end of the year: Assets = Liabilities + Equity $259,000 + $80,000 = $64,750 + $52,643 + ? $339,000 = $117,393 + ? Thus, ending equity = $221,607 Alternative approach to solving part (b):  Assets($80,000) =  Liabilities($52,643) +  Equity(?) where “  ” refers to “change in.” Thus: Ending Equity = $194,250 + $27,357 = $221,607 c. Using the accounting equation at the end of the year: Assets = Liabilities + Equity $190,000 = $57,000 - $16,000 + ? $190,000 = $41,000 + $149,000 Using the accounting equation at the beginning of the year: Assets = Liabilities + Equity $190,000 - $60,000 = $57,000 + ? $130,000 = $57,000 + ?

    ©McGraw - Hill Companies, 2009 F undamental Accounting Principles , 19th Edition 30 Problem 1 - 9A (Concluded) Part 3 W iz Consulting’s net income = $6, 4 00 - $2, 26 0 = $4, 14 0 Problem 1 - 10A ( 20 minutes) 1. Return on assets equals net income divided by average total assets. a. Coca - Cola return: $ 5,080 / $29, 695 = 0. 171 or 17.1 % . b. PepsiCo return: $ 5,642 / $ 30,829 = 0.18 3 or 18.3 % . 2. Strictly on the amount of sales to consumers, Coke’s sales of $ 24,088 are less than PepsiCo’s $ 35,187 . 3. Success in returning net income from the average amount invested is revealed by the return on assets. Part 1 showed that PepsiCo’s 18.3 % return is better than Coca - Cola’s 17.1 % return. 4. Current performance figures suggest that PepsiCo yields a higher return on assets than Coca - Cola. Based on this information alone, we would be better advised to invest in PepsiCo than Coca - Cola . Nevertheless, we would look for additional information in financial statements and other sources for further guidance. For example, if Coca - Cola could dispose of some assets without curtailing its sales level, it would look more attractive. We would also look for consumer trends, market expansion, competition, product development, and promotion plans.
