Chapter 1 Environment and Theoretical Structure of Financial Accounting Question 1–1 Financial accounting is concerned with providing relevant financial information about various kinds of organizations to different types of external users. The primary focus of financial accounting is on the financial information provided by profitoriented companies to their present and potential investors and creditors.

Question 1–2 Resources are efficiently allocated if they are given to enterprises that will use them to provide goods and services desired by society and not to enterprises that will waste them. The capital markets are the mechanism that fosters this efficient allocation of resources.

Question 1–3 Two extremely important variables that must be considered in any investment decision are the expected rate of return and the uncertainty or risk of that expected return.

Question 1–4 In the long run, a company will be able to provide investors and creditors with a rate of return only if it can generate a profit. That is, it must be able to use the resources provided to it to generate cash receipts from selling a product or service that exceed the cash disbursements necessary to provide that product or service.

Question 1–5 The primary objective of financial accounting is to provide investors and creditors with information that will help them make investment and credit decisions.

Question 1–6 Net operating cash flows are the difference between cash receipts and cash disbursements during a period of time from transactions related to providing goods and services to customers. Net operating cash flows may not be a good indicator of future cash flows because, by ignoring uncompleted transactions, they may not match the accomplishments and sacrifices of the period.


Question 1–7 GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles) are a dynamic set of both broad and specific guidelines that a company should follow in measuring and reporting the information in their financial statements and related notes. It is important that all companies follow GAAP so that investors can compare financial information across companies to make their resource allocation decisions.

Question 1–8 In 1934, Congress created the SEC and gave it the job of setting accounting and reporting standards for companies whose securities are publicly traded. The SEC has retained the power, but has relied on private sector bodies to create the standards. The current private sector body responsible for setting accounting standards is the FASB.

Question 1–9 Auditors are independent, professional accountants who examine financial statements to express an opinion. The opinion reflects the auditors‘ assessment of the statements' fairness, which is determined by the extent to which they are prepared in compliance with GAAP. The auditor adds credibility to the financial statements, which increases the confidence of capital market participants relying on that information.


Question 1–10 Key provisions included in the text are:  Creation of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board  Regulate types of non-audit audit services  Require lead audit partner rotation every 5 year  Corporate executive accountability  Addresses conflicts of interest for security analysts  Internal control reporting and auditor opinion about controls

Question 1–11 New accounting standards, or changes in standards, can have significant differential effects on companies, investors and creditors, and other interest groups by causing redistribution of wealth. There also is the possibility that standards could harm the economy as a whole by causing companies to change their behavior.

Question 1–12 The FASB undertakes a series of elaborate information gathering steps before issuing an accounting standard to determine consensus as to the preferred method of accounting, as well as to anticipate adverse economic consequences.

Question 1–13 The purpose of the conceptual framework is to guide the Board in developing accounting standards by providing an underlying foundation and basic reasoning on which to consider merits of alternatives. The framework does not prescribe GAAP.


Question 1–14 Relevance and faithful representation are the primary qualitative characteristics that make information decision-useful. Relevant information will possess predictive and/or confirmatory value. Faithful representation is the extent to which there is agreement between a measure or description and the phenomenon it purports to represent.

Question 1–15 The components of relevant information are predictive value, confirmatory value and materiality. The components of faithful representation are completeness, neutrality, and freedom from error.

Question 1–16 The benefit from providing accounting information is increased decision usefulness. If the information is relevant and possesses faithful representation, it will improve the decisions made by investors and creditors. However, there are costs to providing information that include costs to gather, process, and disseminate that information. There also are costs to users in interpreting the information as well as possible adverse economic consequences that could result from disclosing information. Information should not be provided unless the benefits exceed the costs.

Question 1–17 Information is material if it is deemed to have an effect on a decision made by a user. The threshold for materiality will depend principally on the relative dollar amount of the transaction being considered. One consequence of materiality is that GAAP need not be followed in measuring and reporting a transaction if that transaction is not material. The threshold for materiality has been left to subjective judgment.


Question 1–18 1.

Assets are probable future economic benefits obtained or controlled by a particular entity as a result of past transactions or events. 2. Liabilities are probable future sacrifices of economic benefits arising from present obligations of a particular entity to transfer assets or provide services to other entities in the future as a result of past transactions. 3. Equity is the residual interest in the assets of any entity that remains after deducting its liabilities. 4. Investments by owners are increases in equity resulting from transfers of resources, usually cash, to a company in exchange for ownership interest. 5. Distributions to owners are decreases in equity resulting from transfers to owners. 6. Revenues are inflows of assets or settlements of liabilities from delivering or producing goods, rendering services, or other activities that constitute the entity‘s ongoing major or central operations. 7. Expenses are outflows or other using up of assets or incurrences of liabilities during a period from delivering or producing goods, rendering services, or other activities that constitute the entity‘s ongoing major or central operations. 8. Gains are defined as increases in equity from peripheral or incidental transactions of an entity. 9. Losses represent decreases in equity arising from peripheral or incidental transactions of an entity. 10. Comprehensive income is defined as the change in equity of an entity during a period from nonowner transactions.

Question 1–19 The four basic assumptions underlying GAAP are (1) the economic entity assumption, (2) the going concern assumption, (3) the periodicity assumption, and (4) the monetary unit assumption.

Question 1–20 The going concern assumption means that, in the absence of information to the contrary, it is anticipated that a business entity will continue to operate indefinitely. This assumption is important to many broad and specific accounting principles such as the historical cost principle.


Question 1–21 The periodicity assumption relates to needs of external users to receive timely financial information. This assumption requires that the economic life of a company be divided into artificial periods for financial reporting. Companies usually report to external users at least once a year.

Question 1–22 Four accounting practices, often referred to as principles, that guide accounting practice are (1) revenue recognition, (2) expense recognition, (3) mixed-attribute measurement (including historical cost), and (4) full disclosure.

Question 1–23 Two advantages to basing valuation on historical cost are (1) historical cost provides important cash flow information since it represents the cash or cash equivalent paid for an asset or received in exchange for the assumption of a liability, and (2) historical cost valuation is the result of an exchange transaction between two independent parties and the agreed upon exchange value is, therefore, objective and possesses a high degree of verifiability.

Question 1–24 Companies recognize revenue when goods or services are transferred to customers. However, no revenue is recognized if it isn‘t probable that the seller will collect the amounts it‘s entitled to receive. The amount of revenue recognized is the amount the company expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for those goods or services. Revenue is recognized at a point in time or over a period of time, depending on when goods or services are transferred to customers. So, revenue for the sale of most goods is recognized upon delivery, but revenue for services like renting apartments or lending money is recognized over time as those services are provided.


. Question 1–25 The four different approaches to implementing expense recognition are: 1. Recognizing an expense based on an exact cause-and-effect relationship between a revenue and expense event. Cost of goods sold is an example of an expense recognized by this approach. 2. Recognizing an expense by identifying the expense with the revenues recognized in a specific time period. Office salaries are an example of an expense recognized by this approach. 3. Recognizing an expense by a systematic and rational allocation to specific time periods. Depreciation is an example of an expense recognized by this approach. 4. Recognizing expenses in the period incurred, without regard to related revenues. Advertising is an example of an expense recognized by this approach.

Question 1–26 In addition to the financial statement elements arrayed in the basic financial statements, information is disclosed by means of parenthetical or modifying comments, notes, and supplemental schedules and tables.

Question 1–27 GAAP prioritizes the inputs companies should use when determining fair value. The highest and most desirable inputs, Level 1, are quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs are other than quoted prices that are observable, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active or inactive markets and inputs that are derived principally from observable related market data. Level 3 inputs, the least desirable, are inputs that reflect the entity‘s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on the best information available in the circumstances.

Question 1–28 Common measurement attributes are historical cost, net realizable value, current cost, present value, and fair value.


Answers to Questions (concluded) Question 1–29 Under the revenue/expense approach, revenues and expenses are considered primary, and assets, liabilities, and equities are secondary in the sense of being recognized at the time and amount necessary to achieve proper revenue and expense recognition. Under the asset/liability approach, assets and liabilities are considered primary, and revenues and expenses are secondary in the sense of being recognized at the time and amount necessary to allow recognition and measurement of assets and liabilities as required by their definitions.

Question 1–30 Under IFRS, the conceptual framework provides guidance to accounting standard setters but also provides GAAP when more specific accounting standards do not provide guidance.

Question 1–31 The International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) is responsible for determining IFRS. The IASB is funded by the IFRS Foundation. .

Judgment Case 1–6 Disagree. Wolf has been paid, so collectability is not a concern. However, Wolf performs its rental service over time, and at the beginning of the period has not yet fulfilled its obligation to its renters to provide rent services.

Judgment Case 1–8 Requirement 1 The two primary qualitative characteristics of accounting information are relevance and faithful representation. Requirement 2 No, GAAP does not routinely require disclosure of forecasts. The qualities of relevance and faithful representation often can conflict, requiring a trade-off between them. A forecast of a financial variable may possess a high degree of relevance to investors and creditors. However, a forecast necessarily contains subjectivity in the estimation of future events. Since a forecast is involved, information could be more easily biased and may contain material errors. Therefore, generally accepted accounting principles do not require companies to provide forecasts of financial variables.

Judgment Case 1–9 Requirement 1 The cost effectiveness constraint governs whether the FASB should require companies to provide additional financial information. Requirement 2 The cost effectiveness constraint is discussed in Concepts Statement No. 8. Requirement 3 The costs could include (1) increased information-gathering, processing and dissemination costs to the companies affected, (2) increased interpreting costs to users, and (3) adverse economic consequences to the companies, their investors, creditors, employees, other interest groups as well as to society as a whole.

Communication Case 1–10 In the long run, a company will be able to provide investors with a return only if it can generate a profit. That is, it must be able to use the resources provided by investors and creditors to generate cash receipts from selling a product or service that exceed the cash disbursements necessary to provide that product or service. If this excess cash can be generated, the marketplace is implicitly saying that society‘s resources have been efficiently allocated. The marketplace is assigning a value to the product or service that exceeds the value assigned to the resources used to produce that product or service. Pollution costs to society should be borne by the company/individual causing the costs to be incurred. If they are, and the pollutioncausing company can still generate a profit, then society‘s resources are still being allocated efficiently. From this perspective, it appears that information on pollution costs is relevant information to financial statement users. However, even though this information might be relevant, it would not possess faithful representation. For example, how could we objectively measure the costs to society of dumping hazardous waste into a river? Fish and other river-life will die, drinking water will contain more pollutants, and the river will be a less desirable place for recreation. Some of these costs can be quantified (estimated), but others can‘t. It is important that each student actively participate in the process of arriving at a solution. Domination by one or two individuals should be discouraged. Students should be encouraged to contribute to the group discussion by (a) offering information on relevant issues, and (b) clarifying or modifying ideas already expressed, or (c) suggesting alternative direction.

Communication Case 1–12 Requirement 1 Pro-convergence arguments include: 1. U.S. financial markets would be more attractive to companies with uniform accounting standards. 2. More comparable financial statements are easier for users. 3. Less costly information systems to prepare financial statements for multinational companies. 4. Cooperation with the rest of the world is good. Cooperating on accounting standards could facilitate progress on other political dimensions. 5. Preference for principles-based reporting under IFRS. 6. One common set of standards makes it easier for employers to obtain accountants from other countries or to locate accounting operations in other parts of the world. 7. Balancing of political interests (which could temper effect of U.S. political environment). Requirement 2 Anti-convergence arguments include: 1. Regulatory requirements (like Sarbanes-Oxley) are more important than accounting standards for discouraging use of U.S. capital markets. 2. Actual comparability depends on regulatory enforcement and how IFRS is applied in particular countries; could make financial statements seem more comparable than they really are. 3. For local companies, transition to IFRS would be expensive. 4. May be difficult to cooperate with the rest of the world when standards don‘t favor U.S. interests. How will U.S. Congress react when the French are pressuring the IASB to obtain accounting favorable to them? 5. Rules-based U.S. regime has developed because companies and their auditors want protection against litigation and regulators. If switch for IFRS, companies and their auditors will want implementation guidance that preserves the rules. 6. IASB is more vulnerable to political pressure from various governments like the EU.

Ethics Case 1–13 Requirement 1 Company executives. It is the responsibility of management to apply GAAP appropriately. Requirement 2 No. While auditors are paid by the company, they must be an independent party to help ensure that management has in fact appropriately applied GAAP in preparing the company’s financial statements. Requirement 3 Yes. Some feel that it is impossible for an auditor to give an independent opinion on a company‘s financial statements because the auditors‘ fees for performing the audit are paid by the company. In addition to the audit fee, some perceive independence is further impaired when the auditors are paid to provide additional services to the company. Requirement 4 The standard audit arrangement can jeopardize independence by leaving auditors vulnerable to the following pressures: 1. Pressure from management to bias the audit opinion by threatening to withhold audit fee payment, to hire another audit firm, or to assign tax preparation work to another audit firm. 2. Pressure from management to bias the audit opinion by providing an expensive gift or an outright bribe to the auditor. Auditors should refuse all but nominal gifts from their clients. 3. Pressure to bias the audit opinion in favor of the client because the auditor, or family member, has a financial interest in the client beyond the audit fee. The interest could be in the form of an investment or a loan to or from the client. 4. Pressure to bias the audit opinion in favor of the client because the auditor, or family member, has current or future employment or is in a position of influence with the client. 5. An unfavorable opinion may provoke a lawsuit by investors and other injured parties against both the company and the auditors. Fear of litigation may prompt the auditors to give a favorable or clean opinion, when misleading information exists in the financial statements.

Continuing Cases Target Case Requirement 1 a. Total revenues = $77,130 million b. Income from current operations = $ 3,269 million c. Net income or net loss = $ 3,281 million d. Total assets = $42,779 million e. Total equity = $11,833 million Requirement 2 Target‘s basic earnings per share was $6.42. Requirement 3 Target‘s fiscal year end is February 1, 2020. The accounting profession and the SEC encourage companies to adopt a fiscal year that corresponds to a natural business year, ending when a company‘s business cycle is at its lowest point. December 31 is in the hectic holiday shopping season at a time when stores are processing Christmas returns and offering after-holiday and New Year‘s sales, so it clearly is not at a low point in the business cycle. February 1 occurs after the holiday shopping season concludes, so it makes sense for Target to use that date as its fiscal year end. Requirement 4 a. Target‘s auditor is Ernst & Young LLP. b. Target received a ―clean‖ (unmodified) audit opinion. Specifically: ―In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Corporation at February 1, 2020 and February 2, 2019, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended February 1, 2020, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.‖ c. Target‘s audit report includes 2 critical audit matters: (1) Target‘s use of the retail inventory accounting method, and (2) Target‘s use of vendor income receivables.

Question 2– 34 External events involve an exchange transaction between the company and a separate economic entity. For every external transaction, the company is receiving something in exchange for something else. Internal events do not involve an exchange transaction but do affect the financial position of the company. Examples of external events are the purchase of inventory, a sale to a customer, and the borrowing of cash from a bank. Examples of internal events include the recording of depreciation expense, the expiration of prepaid rent, and the accrual of salary expense.

Question 2–2 According to the accounting equation, there is equality between the total economic resources of an entity, its assets, and the claims to those resources, liabilities, and equity. This implies that, since resources must always equal claims, the net effect of any transaction cannot affect one side of the accounting equation differently than the other side.

Question 2– 36 The purpose of a journal is to capture, in chronological order, the dual effect of a transaction in storage areas called accounts. A general ledger is an organized collection of accounts. The purpose is to keep track of the increases, decreases, and balances in each account.

Question 2– 38 Permanent accounts represent the financial position of a company—assets, liabilities and owners' equity—at a particular point in time. Temporary accounts represent the changes in shareholders‘ equity, the retained earnings component of equity for a corporation, caused by revenue, expense, gain, loss, and dividend transactions. It would be cumbersome and less informative to record revenue/expense, gain/loss, and dividend transactions directly into the permanent retained earnings account. Recording these transactions in temporary accounts facilitates the preparation of the financial statements.

Question 2–7 The first step in the accounting processing cycle is to identify external transactions affecting the accounting equation. Source documents, such as sales invoices, bills from suppliers, and cash register tapes, help to identify the transactions and then provide the information necessary to process the transaction.

Question 2–12 We use adjusting entries to record the effect on financial position of internal events, those that do not involve an exchange transaction with another entity. We record them at the end of any period when financial statements are prepared to properly reflect financial position and results of operations according to the accrual accounting model, that is, to update accounts to their proper balances before we report those balances in the financial statements.

Question 2–48 Closing entries transfer the balances in the temporary owners‘ equity accounts (revenues, expenses, gains, losses, dividends) to a permanent owners‘ equity account, retained earnings for a corporation. This occurs only at the end of a reporting period in order to reduce the temporary accounts to zero before beginning the next reporting year.

Question 2–17 Income statement—The purpose of the income statement is to summarize the profit-generating activities of a company during a particular period of time. It is a ―change statement‖ that reports the changes in shareholders‘ (owners‘) equity that occurred during the period as a result of revenues, expenses, gains, and losses. Statement of comprehensive income—The statement of comprehensive income extends the income statement to report changes in shareholders‘ equity during the reporting period that were not a result of transactions with owners. This statement includes net income and also other comprehensive income items. Balance sheet—The purpose of the balance sheet is to present the financial position of a company at a particular point in time. It is an organized list of assets, liabilities, and permanent shareholders‘ equity accounts. Statement of cash flows—The purpose of the statement of cash flows is to disclose the events that caused cash to change during the period. Statement of shareholders’ equity—The purpose of the statement of shareholders‘ equity is to disclose the sources of the changes in the various shareholders‘ equity accounts that occurred during the period. This statement includes changes resulting from investments by owners, distributions to owners, net income, and other comprehensive income.

Question 2–18 A worksheet provides a way to organize the accounting information needed to prepare adjusting and closing entries and the financial statements. This error would result in an overstatement of revenue and thus net income and thus retained earnings, and an understatement of liabilities.

Question 2–19 Reversing entries are recorded at the beginning of a reporting period. They reverse the effects of some of the adjusting entries recorded at the end of the previous reporting period. This simplifies the journal entries recorded during the new period by allowing cash payments or cash receipts to be entered directly into the expense or revenue account without regard to the accrual recorded at the end of the previous period.

Question 2–20 The purpose of special journals is to record, in chronological order, the dual effect of repetitive types of transactions, such as cash receipts, cash disbursements, credit sales, and credit purchases. Special journals simplify the recording process in the following ways: (1) journalizing the effects of a particular transaction is made more efficient through the use of specifically designed formats; (2) individual transactions are not posted to the general ledger accounts, but are accumulated in the special journals and a summary posting is made on a periodic basis; and (3) the responsibility for recording journal entries for the repetitive types of transactions is placed on individuals who have specialized training in handling them.

Question 2–21 The general ledger is a collection of control accounts representing assets, liabilities, and permanent and temporary shareholders‘ equity accounts. The subsidiary ledger contains a group of subsidiary accounts associated with a particular general ledger control account. For example, there will be a subsidiary ledger for accounts receivable that will keep track of the increases and decreases in the account receivable balance for each of the company‘s customers purchasing goods or services on credit. At any point in time, the balance in the accounts receivable control account should equal the sum of the balances in the accounts receivable subsidiary ledger accounts.

Exercise 2–98 1. $7,200 represents nine months of interest on a $120,000 note, or 75% of annual interest. $7,200 ÷ 0.75 = $9,600 annual interest $9,600 ÷ $120,000 = 8% interest rate Or, $7,200 ÷ $120,000 = .06 nine-month rate To annualize the nine-month rate: .06 x 12/9 = .08 or 8%

2. $60,000 ÷ 12 months = $5,000 rent per month $35,000 ÷ $5,000 = 7 months expired. The rent was paid on June 1, seven months ago.

3. $500 represents two months (November and December) accrued interest, or $250 per month. $250 x 12 months = $3,000 annual interest Principal x 6% = $3,000 Principal = $3,000 ÷ .06 = $50,000 note
