Thus, all profits or losses become part of the taxableincome to the owner,who is also responsible personally for all debts of the business.•Partnerships are businesses similar legally to proprietorships, but with two or more owners.•Corporations are separate legal entities (thus, corporations pay taxes) thatissueshares of stock toinvestors (stockholders) and are more costly to establish. Stockholders cannot be held liable formore than their investment in the corporation. Private corporationsissuestock to a few individualswhile public corporationsissuestock in the stock market.•Business decision makers include creditors (banks, suppliers), investors (stockholders), customers,governments, and other external users.LO1-2 Describe the purpose, structure, and content of the four basic financial statements.•Theincome statementreports the net amount that a business earned (net income) over a period oftime by subtracting the costs of running the business (expenses) from the total amount earned(revenues).•Thestatement of retained earningsexplains changes in theRetainedEarningsaccount over aperiod of time by considering increases (from net income) and decreases (from dividends tostockholders).•Thebalance sheetreports what the business owns (reported as assets) at a particular point in timeand whether the financing for these assets came from creditors (reported as liabilities) orstockholders (reported as stockholders’ equity).•Thestatement of cash flowsexplains changes in the cash account over a period of time byreporting inflows and outflows of cash from the business’s operating, investing, and financingactivities.LO1-3 Explain how financial statements areused by decision makers.•Creditors are mainly interested in assessing whether the company (1) is generating enough cash tomake payments on its loan, and (2) has enough assets to cover its liabilities. Answers to thesequestions are indicated by the statement of cash flows and the balance sheet.•Investors look closely at the income statement for information about a company’s ability togenerate profits, and at the statement of retained earnings for information about a company’sdividend distributions.LO1-4 Describe factors thatcontribute to useful financial information.•Companies generate usefulfinancialinformation byapplyingGenerallyAcceptedAccountingPrinciples(GAAP) or International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) in an ethicalbusinessenvironment.•To be useful, information must be relevant and a faithful representation of reality. Information ismore useful when it is comparable, verifiable, timely, and understandable.

Journal entries are used to record financialinformation in the accounting system, which is later summarized by accounts in the ledger(T-accounts).•T-accounts are a simplified version of the ledger, which summarizes transaction effects foreachaccount. T-accounts show increases on the left (debit) side for assets, which are on theleft side ofthe accounting equation. T-accounts show increases on the right (credit) side forliabilities andstockholders’ equity, which are on the right side of the accounting equation.LO2-4Prepareatrial balance anda classified balance sheet.•A trial balance checks on the equality of debit and credit balances.•Aclassified balance sheetseparately classifies assets as current if they will be used up or turnedinto cash within one year. Liabilities are classified as current if they will be paid, settled, orfulfilled within one year.LO2-5Interpret the balance sheet using thecurrent ratio and an understanding ofrelatedconcepts.•The current ratio divides current assets by current liabilities to determine the extent towhichcurrent assets are likely to be sufficient for paying current liabilities.•Because accounting is transaction-based, the balance sheet does not necessarily representthecurrent value of a business.Some assets are not recorded because they do not arise fromtransactions.•The amounts recorded for assets and liabilities may not represent current values becauseunder thecost principle they generally are recorded at cost, using the exchange amountsestablished at thetime of the initial transaction.Accounting DecisionToolsCurrent Ratio = Current Assets ÷ Current Liabilities•It tells you whether current assets are sufficient topay current liabilities.

Later, thesejournal entries are summarized in ledger accounts thatkeep track of the financial effects on each account.a.Journal––Used to recordthe effects ofeach day’stransactions; organized by date.b.Ledger––Used to summarize the effectsof journalentries on eachaccount; organized by account.LO2-3 Use journal entries and T-accounts to show how transactions affect the balance sheet.C.TheDebit/Credit Framework✓Activity #31.The accounting equation (A = L + SE) can be thought ofas a scale that tips at the equals sign; assets are put on theleft side of the scaleand liabilities and stockholders’equity accounts are put on the right.✓Activity #42.Eachindividual account has two sides, with one side usedfor increases and the other for decreases.3.Accounts increase on the same side as they appear in A =L + SE(decreases are the opposite):a.Assets increase on the leftside of the account.b.Liabilities increase on the right side of the account.c.Stockholders’ equity accounts increase on the rightside of the account.4.Debit(dr)––The left side of anaccount, or the act ofenteringan amount into the leftside ofan account.5.Credit(cr)––Theright side of anaccount, or the act ofenteringan amount into the right sideof an account.

When combined with how increases and decreases areentered intoaccounts, the following rules emerge:a.Use debits for increases in assets (and for decreases inliabilities and stockholders’ equity accounts).Illustrated in Exhibit 2.7b.Use credits for increases in liabilities andstockholders’ equity accounts (and for decreases inassets).7.Normal balance––the side on which an account increases.a.Assets accounts normally have debit balances.b.Liabilities and stockholders’ equity accounts normallyhave credit balances.8.In addition to requiring thatA = L + SE, the double-entrysystemalso requires that debits=credits.a.Step 1: Analyzing Transactions––The debit/creditframework does not change this step.b.Step 2: Recording Journal Entries––The financialeffects of transactions are entered into a journal usinga debits-equal-credits format.9.Journal entries––Indicate the effects of each day’stransactions in a debits-equal-credits format.Illustrated inExhibit 2.8a.A date is included for each transaction.b.Debits appear first; credits are written below the debitsand are indented to the right (words and amounts).c.Total debits must equal total credits.d.Dollar signs are not used.e.The reference column (Ref.) will be used later(in step3) to indicate when thejournal entry has beensummarized in the ledger accounts.f.Abrief explanationof the transaction is writtenbelowthe debits and credits.g.The line after the description is left blank.D.Step 3: Summarizingin Ledger Accounts:1.After journal entries have been recorded (in step 2), theirdollar amounts are copied (“posted”) to each ledgeraccount affected by the transaction so that accountbalances can be computed.Illustrated inExhibit 2.92.The posting of journal entries to general ledger accountsis kept track of by writing the account number in the Ref.column of the journal and the journal page number in theRef. column of the ledger.✓Activity #53.T-account––Simplified version of a ledger account usedfor summarizing the effects of journal entries.Illustrated inExhibit 2.10a.Every account starts with a beginning balancenormally on the side where increases are summarized.b.Dollar signs are not needed.c.Each amount is accompanied by a reference to therelated journal entry, which makes it easy to traceback to the original transaction should errors occur.
