Weygandt, Kieso, Kimmel, Trenholm, Kinnear, Barlow, Atkins: Principles of Financial Accounting, Canadian EditionSolutions Manual1-7Chapter 1QUESTIONS (Continued)7.The users of financial informationonpublic companies have differentneeds than the users of financial informationonprivate companies. Publiccorporationsneedthe opportunity to present financial information usingaccounting rulesthat are consistent withthose used globally. To do this,publiccompaniesneedtofollowInternationalFinancialReportingStandards (IFRS).Doing so helps Canadian companies compete in aglobal market.But following this set ofpoliciesand standardsisoftennotessentialor cost effective forprivately owned businesses.Theusersofprivate companyfinancial statements oftendo notrequire theextensivemeasurementsanddisclosuresrequiredbyIFRSandthusprivatecompanies may report under Accounting Standards for Private Enterprises(ASPE).Companies are required to disclose whichGenerally Accepted AccountingPrinciples(GAAP)theyarefollowinginthenotestotheirfinancialstatements.Thus users should read the notes in order to determine whichgenerally accepted accounting principles a business has followed.8.The economic entityconceptstates that economic events can be identifiedwith a particular unit of accountability. Thisconceptrequires that theactivities of the entity be kept separate and distinct from the activities of itsowners and all other economic entities.9.The basic accounting equation is Assets= Liabilities + Owner's Equity andthe expanded accounting equation isAssets = Liabilities + Owner'sCapital−Owner’s Drawings + Revenue−Expenses.The equation is the basis forrecording and summarizing all of the economic events and transactions ofa business.10.(a)Assetsareeconomicresources,owned by abusiness,thatarecapableof providing future services or benefits. Liabilities arecurrentobligations, arising from past events,to make future payments ofassets or services. Put more simply, liabilities are existing debts andobligations. Owner's equity is the ownership claim on the assets.(b)Revenues and investments by the owner increaseowner's equity.Drawingsand expensesdecrease owner’s equity.

Weygandt, Kieso, Kimmel, Trenholm, Kinnear, Barlow, Atkins: Principles of Financial Accounting, Canadian EditionSolutions Manual1-8Chapter 1QUESTIONS (Continued)11.AccountsReceivablerepresentamountsowedtothebusinessbyitscustomers for services performed, but for which collection has not yetbeenreceived. Accounts Payable represent amounts owed by the business forservices or goods received, but for which payment has notyetbeen made.12.Revenues occur from providing services, selling merchandise inventory,renting property and lending money.Revenues increase profit.The resultof a business realizing revenue is an increaseinthe business’s assets ordecrease initsliabilities.Revenuesincrease owner’s equity.Expenses arecostsincurred to earn revenue. Expenses are the cost ofassets that areconsumed andservices that areusedby abusiness in its activities.Expensesdecrease profit.Expenses decreaseabusiness’sassetsorincreaseitsliabilities.Revenues minus expenses equals profit.13.The balance sheet depicts the accounting equation and so it reports theassets, liabilities and owner’s equity of a business at a point in time. Theincome statement is a summary of the results of thebusiness’s operatingactivitiesaimedtoincreaseprofit.Theincomestatementreportstherevenues and the expenses for a period in time.14.Wayneis incorrect. Not all eventsaretransactionsrecognized in theaccounting records.Only events that cause changes in assets, liabilities,or owner’s equityand can be reliably measured in monetary termsshouldbe recorded.For example, a business might sign a lease for a store.Although this event obligates the business for the payment of rentinthefuture, it is notyeta transaction as no assets havebeenexchanged by thebusiness and its landlord.Another example is when an employee is hired.Notransactionhasoccurred,andnothingwillberecordeduntiltheemployee has started working and earning wages.15.The monetary unit assumption requires that only transaction data capableof being expressed in terms of money can be included in the accountingrecords of the economic entity. As a result, information that cannot beobjectively measured in dollars cannot be included. For example, a skilledmanager may add value to a company, but since that skill cannot beobjectively measured in dollars, it is not included as an asset of thecompany. Another important part of the monetary unit assumption is thatthe unit of measure remains sufficiently constant over time. In other words,inflation is ignored.

Weygandt, Kieso, Kimmel, Trenholm, Kinnear, Barlow, Atkins: Principles of Financial Accounting, Canadian EditionSolutions Manual1-9Chapter 1QUESTIONS (Continued)16.Yes, a business can enter into a transaction in which only the left side ofthe accounting equation is affected. An example would be a transactionwhere an increase in one asset is offset by a decrease in another asset,such as when equipment is purchased for cash (resulting in an increase inthe equipment account which is offset by a decrease in the cash account).17.No, this treatment is not proper. While the transaction does involve adisbursement of cash, it does not representanexpense. Expenses aredecreasesin owner's equity resulting from business activities entered intofor the purpose of earningprofit. This transaction is a withdrawal of capitalfrom the business by the owner and should be recorded as a decrease inboth cash and owner’s equity.18.Yes.Profitdoesappearontheincomestatement—it is the result ofsubtracting expenses from revenues. In addition,profitappears in thestatement of owner's equity—it is shown as an addition to the beginning-of-period capital. Indirectly, theprofitof a company is also included in thebalance sheet, as it is included in the capital account, which appears in theowner's equity section of the balance sheet.19.It is likely that the use of rounded figures would not change the decisionsmade by the users of the financial statements. As well, presenting theinformationinthismannermakethestatementseasiertoreadandanalyze,thereby increasing theirusefulnessto the users.
