Leading by Example
For nearly 80 years, Accounting has been used effectively to teach generations of businessmen and women. The text has been used by millions of business students. For
many, this book provides the only exposure to accounting principles that they will ever
receive. As the most successful business textbook of all time, it continues to introduce
students to accounting through a variety of time-tested ways.
The previous edition, 22e, started a new journey into learning more about the
changing needs of accounting students through a variety of new and innovative
research and development methods. Our Blue Sky Workshops brought accounting faculty from all over the country into our book development process in a very direct and
creative way. Many of the features and themes present in this text are a result of the collaboration and countless conversations we’ve had with accounting instructors over the
last several years. 23e continues to build on this philosophy and strives to be reflective
of the suggestions and feedback we receive from instructors and students on an ongoing basis. We’re very happy with the results, and think you’ll be pleased with the
improvements we’ve made to the text.
The original author of Accounting, James McKinsey, could not have imagined the
success and influence this text has enjoyed or that his original vision would continue to
lead the market into the twenty-first century. As the current authors, we appreciate the
responsibility of protecting and enhancing this vision, while continuing to refine it to
meet the changing needs of students and instructors. Always in touch with a tradition
of excellence but never satisfied with yesterday’s success, this edition enthusiastically
embraces a changing environment and continues to proudly lead the way. We sincerely
thank our many colleagues who have helped to make it happen.
“The teaching of accounting is no longer designed to train professional accountants
only. With the growing complexity of business and the constantly increasing difficulty
of the problems of management, it has become essential that everyone who aspires to a
position of responsibility should have a knowledge of the fundamental principles of
accounting.”
— James O. McKinsey, Author, first edition, 1929

Textbooks continue to play an invaluable role in the teaching and learning
environment. Continuing our focus from previous editions, we reached
out to accounting teachers in an effort to improve the textbook presentation. New for this edition, we have extended our discussions to reach out
to students directly in order to learn what they value in a textbook. Here’s
a preview of some of the improvements we’ve made to this edition based
on student input:
Guiding Principles System
NEW!
Students can easily locate the information they need to master course concepts with the
new “Guiding Principles System (GPS).” At the beginning of every chapter, this innovative system plots a course through the chapter content by displaying the chapter
objectives, major topics, and related Example Exercises. The GPS reference to the chapter “At a Glance” summary completes this proven system.
After studying this chapter, you should be able to:

Written for Today’s Students
Designed for today’s students, the 23rd edition has been extensively revised using an
innovative, high-impact writing style that emphasizes topics in a concise and clearly
written manner. Direct sentences, concise paragraphs, numbered lists, and step-by-step
calculations provide students with an easy-to-follow structure for learning accounting.
This is achieved without sacrificing content or rigor.

Mornin’ Joe Financial Statements
Beginning after “Accounting for Merchandising Businesses” and continuing through
Chapter 15, “Investments and Fair Value Accounting,” each chapter contains an excerpt
from the full financial statements for Mornin’ Joe, a coffee company. The addition of this
new example shows students the big picture of accounting by providing a consistent reference point for users who want to see an entire set of financial statements and the way
each chapter topic fits within them. The financial statements were crafted by the authors
to be consistent with the presentation in each chapter.
NEW!
Revised Coverage of Investments
A new chapter on investments and fair value accounting has been written to consolidate coverage of both dept and equity investments. The chapter also contains a conceptual discussion of fair value accounting and its increasing role in defining today’s
modern accounting methods.
NEW!
Modern User-Friendly Design
Based on students’ testimonials of what they find most useful, this streamlined presentation includes a wealth of helpful resources without the clutter. To update the look of the
material, some exhibits use computerized spreadsheets to better reflect the changing environment of business. Visual learners will appreciate the generous number of exhibits and
illustrations used to convey concepts and procedures.

Chapter Updates and Enhancements
The following includes some of the specific content changes that can be
found in Accounting, 23e.
Chapter 1: Introduction to Accounting and Business
• Starbucks replaces DaimlerChrysler in opening lead-in example.
• Discussion of “types of business organizations” has been moved to later in the chapter.
Proprietorships, partnerships, corporations, and limited liability companies (LLC) are now discussed with the business entity concept.
• “General-purpose financial statements” has been added as a new key term.
• New Exhibit 3 provides guidelines for ethical conduct.
• Discussion on career opportunities for accountants has been updated.
• Improved formatting of transaction discussion for NetSolutions for greater clarity.
• International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and International Financial Reporting Standards are
now mentioned in the discussion of generally accepted accounting principles.
• New Financial Analysis and Interpretation (FAI) box has been added that introduces the ratio for
liabilities to owner’s equity.
Chapter 2: Analyzing Transactions
• New chapter opener features Apple.
• New section on the double-entry accounting system (Objective 2) provides improved coverage of
the rules of debit and credit for balance sheet, income statement, and owner drawing account. This
discussion includes normal balances of accounts. In addition, Exhibit 3 was revised so that it better
summarizes the rules of debits and credits for students to refer to when working end-of-chapter
homework.
• Discussion of recording transactions in accounts has been streamlined by including the discussion
of the rules of debits and credits earlier in the chapter. Also, a new more simplified format for the
journal and accounts is used.
• Each illustrated transaction now includes the following sections: “Transaction, Analysis, and Journal
Entry.” In addition, new line art design improves the presentation of journal entries and accounts.
• Discussion of discovery and correction of errors has been revised and is now integrated into the discussion of the unadjusted trial balance.
• New FAI feature has been added that discusses horizontal analysis of financial statements.
Chapter 3: The Adjusting Process
• Discussion of the adjusting process has been revised to list the reasons for updating some accounts
in the ledger under accrual accounting.
• A new Exhibit 6 on Summary of Adjustments has been developed to include the reason for each
adjustment, the adjusting entry, example adjusting entries from NetSolutions, and the financial
statement impact if adjusting is omitted.
• New FAI feature has been added that discusses vertical analysis of financial statements.
Chapter 4: Completing the Accounting Cycle
• New spreadsheet format provides row and column labels that are more consistent with Microsoft
Excel to reflect what students will see in practice.
• Integrated all accounts necessary to complete the spreadsheet directly into the spreadsheet rather
than adding them at the bottom of the spreadsheet. As reviewer feedback notes, this is consistent
with using Microsoft Excel where new rows (accounts) can be directly inserted into the spreadsheet
at their appropriate place.
• New acetate for preparing the work sheet (spreadsheet) has been added that separates the individual adjustments from the adjusted trial balance totals.
• Added stepwise approach to preparing the work sheet (spreadsheet).
vii
Leading by Example

illustrations get into the effects on the income statement and balance sheet. Exhibit 9 depicts the
inventory error and whether the effect is understated or overstated in terms of COMS, gross profit,
and net income. Exhibit 10 shows the effects of inventory errors on two years of income statements.
Exhibit 11 shows the ending error and whether it is overstated or understated as it relates to merchandise inventory, current assets, total assets, and owner’s equity (capital).
• Moved the “Estimating Inventory Cost” section from the chapter to an appendix at the end of the
chapter. This section describes and illustrates “retail” and the “gross profit” methods of estimating
inventory. The end-of-chapter materials still include exercises and one problem (A and B) for this
appendix.
Chapter 8: Sarbanes-Oxley, Internal Control,
and Cash
• New illustration and journal entry for “Cash Short and Over” provides a visual presentation to reinforce this concept.
• For added clarity, “Depositor” terminology has change to “Company” in the bank reconciliations.

they are earned and expenses matched with
the revenues they generate. The updating of accounts at the end of the accounting period is
called the adjusting process. Each adjusting entry affects an income statement and balance
sheet account. The four types of accounts requiring adjusting entries are prepaid expenses,
unearned revenues, accrued revenues, and accrued expenses.

review of each

Building on the strengths of past editions,
these openers continue to relate the
accounting and business concepts in the
chapter to students’ lives. These openers
employ examples of real companies and
provide invaluable insight into real practice.
Several of the openers created especially for
this edition focus on interesting companies
such as Apple; Dollar Tree; Hasbro; and
News Corporation (Fox), the parent company of the hit television shows American Idol
and The Simpsons.

veryday it seems like we get an incredible amount of
incoming e-mail messages; you get them from your
friends, relatives, subscribed e-mail lists, and even spammers! But how do you organize all of these messages? You
might create folders to sort messages by sender, topic, or
project. Perhaps you use keyword search utilities. You
might even use filters/rules to automatically delete spam
or send messages from your best friend to a special folder.
In any case, you are organizing information so that it is simple to retrieve and allows you to understand, respond, or
refer to the messages.
In the same way that you organize your e-mail, companies develop an organized method for processing, recording,
and summarizing financial transactions. For example, Apple,
Inc., has a huge volume of financial transactions, resulting
from sales of its innovative computers, digital media (like
iPod music and video players), and iPhone mobile phones.
When Apple sells an iPhone online or at The Apple Store, a
customer has the option of paying with credit card, a debit
I N C.™
or check card, an Apple gift card, a financing arrangement,
or cash (using a cashier’s check, a money order, or a wire
transfer). In order to analyze only the information related to
Apple’s cash transactions, the company must record or summarize all these similar sales using a single category or “cash”
account. This is comparable to how you summarize cash in
the check register of your checkbook. Similarly, Apple will
record credit card payments for iPhones and sales from financing arrangements in different accounts (records).
While Chapter 1 uses the accounting equation (Assets =
Liabilities + Owner’s Equity) to analyze and record financial
transactions, this chapter presents more practical and efficient
recording methods that most
companies use. In addition, this
chapter discusses possible accounting errors that may occur,
along with methods to detect
and correct them.

Financial Analysis and Interpretation
The “Financial Analysis and Interpretation” section at the end of each accounting
chapter introduces relevant key ratios used throughout the textbook. Students connect
with the business environment as they learn how stakeholders interpret financial
reports. This section covers basic analysis tools that students will use again in
Chapter 17, “Financial Statement Analysis.” Furthermore, students get to test their proficiency with these tools through special activities and exercises at the end of each chapter. To ensure a consistent presentation, a unique icon is used for both the section and
related end-of-chapter materials.
Comparing each item in a current statement with a
total amount within that same statement is useful in analyzing relationships within a financial statement. Vertical
analysis is the term used to describe such comparisons.
In vertical analysis of a balance sheet, each asset
item is stated as a percent of the total assets. Each liability and owner’s equity item is stated as a percent of
the total liabilities and owner’s equity. In vertical analysis
of an income statement, each item is stated as a percent
of revenues or fees earned.
Vertical analysis may be prepared for several periods to
analyze changes in relationships over time. Vertical analysis
of two years of income statements for J. Holmes, Attorneyat-Law, is shown below.

The preceding vertical analysis indicates both favorable and unfavorable trends affecting the income statement of J. Holmes, Attorney-at-Law. The increase in wages
expense of 2% (32% 30%) is an unfavorable trend, as
is the increase in utilities expense of 0.7% (6.7% 6.0%).
A favorable trend is the decrease in supplies expense of
0.6% (2.0%
1.4%). Rent expense and miscellaneous
expense as a percent of fees earned were constant. The
net result of these trends was that net income decreased
as a percent of fees earned from 52.8% to 50.7%.
The analysis of the various percentages shown for J.
Holmes, Attorney-at-Law, can be enhanced by comparisons with industry averages. Such averages are published
by trade associations and financial information services.
Any major differences between industry averages should
be investigated.

Integrity, Objectivity, and Ethics in Business
In each chapter, these cases help students develop their ethical compass. Often coupled
with related end-of-chapter activities, these cases can be discussed in class or students
can consider the cases as they read the chapter. Both the section and related end-ofchapter materials are indicated with a unique icon for a consistent presentation.
ACCOUNTING REFORM
The financial accounting and reporting failures of Enron,
WorldCom, Tyco, Xerox, and others shocked the investing public. The disclosure that some of the nation’s largest and best-known corporations had overstated profits
and misled investors raised the question: Where were the
CPAs?
In response, Congress passed the Investor Protection,
Auditor Reform, and Transparency Act of 2002, called the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act. The Act establishes a Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board to regulate the portion of the
accounting profession that has public companies as clients.
In addition, the Act prohibits auditors (CPAs) from providing certain types of nonaudit services, such as investment
banking or legal services, to their clients, prohibits employment of auditors by clients for one year after they
last audited the client, and increases penalties for the
reporting of misleading financial statements.
Continuing Case Study
Students follow a fictitious company, NetSolutions, throughout Chapters 1–6, which
demonstrates a variety of transactions. The continuity of using the same company facilitates student learning especially for Chapters 1–4, which cover the accounting cycle. Also,
using the same company allows students to follow the transition of the company from a
service business in Chapters 1–4 to a merchandising business in Chapters 5 and 6.
Summaries
Within each chapter, these synopses draw special attention to important points and
help clarify difficult concepts.
Self-Examination Questions
Five multiple-choice questions, with answers at the end of the chapter, help students
review and retain chapter concepts.
Illustrative Problem and Solution
A solved problem models one or more of the chapter’s assignment problems so that students can apply the modeled procedures to end-of-chapter materials.
Market Leading End-of-Chapter Material
Students need to practice accounting so that they can understand and use it. To give
students the greatest possible advantage in the real world, Accounting, 23e, goes beyond
presenting theory and procedure with comprehensive, time-tested, end-of-chapter
material.

When it comes to supporting instructors, South-Western is unsurpassed.
Accounting, 23e, continues the tradition with powerful print and digital
ancillaries aimed at facilitating greater course successes.
Instructor’s Manual This manual contains a number of resources designed to aid
instructors as they prepare lectures, assign homework, and teach in the classroom. For each
chapter, the instructor is given a brief synopsis and a list of objectives. Then each objective
is explored, including information on Key Terms, Ideas for Class Discussion, Lecture Aids,
Demonstration Problems, Group Learning Activities, Exercises and Problems for
Reinforcement, and Internet Activities. Also, Suggested Approaches are included that incorporate many of the teaching initiatives being stressed in higher education today, including
active learning, collaborative learning, critical thinking, and writing across the curriculum.
Solutions Manual The Solutions Manual contains answers to all exercises, problems,
and activities that appear in the text. As always, the solutions are author-written and
verified multiple times for numerical accuracy and consistency with the core text.
Solutions transparencies are also available.
Test Bank For each chapter, the Test Bank includes True/False questions, MultipleChoice questions, and Problems, each marked with a difficulty level, chapter objective
association, and a tie-in to standard course outcomes. Along with the normal update
and upgrade of the 2,800 test bank questions, variations of the new Example Exercises
have been added to this bank for further quizzing and better integration with the textbook. In addition, the bank provides a grid for each chapter that compiles the correlation of each question to the individual chapter’s objectives, as well as a ranking of difficulty based on a clearly described categorization. Through this helpful grid, making a
test that is comprehensive and well-balanced is a snap!
ExamView® Pro Testing Software This intuitive software allows you to easily customize exams, practice tests, and tutorials and deliver them over a network, on the
Internet, or in printed form. In addition, ExamView comes with searching capabilities
that make sorting the wealth of questions from the printed test bank easy. The software

objectives followed by a thorough outline of the chapter that easily provide an entire
lecture model. Also, exhibits from the chapter, such as the new Example Exercises, have
been recreated as colorful PowerPoint slides to create a powerful, customizable tool.
Instructor Excel® Templates These templates provide the solutions for the problems and exercises that have Enhanced Excel® templates for students. Through these
files, instructors can see the solutions in the same format as the students. All problems

For the Student
Students come to accounting with a variety of learning needs. Accounting,
23e, offers a broad range of supplements in both printed form and easy-touse technology. We continue to refine our entire supplement package
around the comments instructors have provided about their courses and
teaching needs.
Study Guide This author-written guide provides students Quiz and Test Hints,
Matching questions, Fill-in-the-Blank questions (Parts A & B), Multiple-Choice questions, True/False questions, Exercises, and Problems for each chapter. Designed to
assist students in comprehending the concepts and principles in the text, solutions for
all of these items are available in the guide for quick reference.
Working Papers for Exercises and Problems The traditional working papers
include problem-specific forms for preparing solutions for Exercises, A & B Problems,
the Continuing Problem, and the Comprehensive Problems from the textbook. These
forms, with preprinted headings, provide a structure for the problems, which helps
students get started and saves them time. Additional blank forms are included.
Blank Working Papers These Working Papers are available for completing exercises and problems either from the text or prepared by the instructor. They have no
preprinted headings. A guide at the front of the Working Papers tells students which
form they will need for each problem.
Enhanced Excel® Templates These templates are provided for selected long or
complicated end-of-chapter exercises and problems and provide assistance to the
student as they set up and work the problem. Certain cells are coded to display a red
asterisk when an incorrect answer is entered, which helps students stay on track.
Selected problems that can be solved using these templates are designated by an icon.
Klooster & Allen General Ledger Software Prepared by Dale Klooster and

determine if their entries are correct and emulates commercial general ledger packages
more closely than other educational packages. Problems that can be used with

hen two teams pair up for a game of football, there
is often a lot of noise. The band plays, the fans cheer,
and fireworks light up the scoreboard. Obviously, the fans
are committed and care about the outcome of the game.
Just like fans at a football game, the owners of a business
want their business to “win” against their competitors in
the marketplace. While having our football team win can
be a source of pride, winning in the marketplace goes beyond pride and has many tangible benefits. Companies that
are winners are better able to serve customers, to provide
good jobs for employees, and to make more money for the
owners.
One such successful company is Google, one of the most
visible companies on the Internet. Many of us cannot visit the
Web without first stopping at Google to power your search.
As one writer said, “Google is the closest thing the Web has
to an ultimate answer machine.” And yet, Google is a free
tool—no one asks for your credit card when you use any of
Google’s search tools. So, do you think Google has been a
successful company? Does it make money? How would you
know? Accounting helps to answer these questions. Google’s
accounting information tells us that Google is a very successful company that makes a lot of money, but not from you
and me. Google makes its money
from advertisers.
In this textbook, we will
introduce you to accounting,
the language of business. In this
chapter, we begin by discussing what a business is, how it
operates, and the role that
accounting plays.

Nature of Business and Accounting
A business1 is an organization in which basic resources (inputs), such as materials and
labor, are assembled and processed to provide goods or services (outputs) to customers.
Businesses come in all sizes, from a local coffee house to Starbucks, which sells over
$9 billion of coffee and related products each year.
The objective of most businesses is to earn a profit. Profit is the difference between the
amounts received from customers for goods or services and the amounts paid for the inputs used to provide the goods or services. In this text, we focus on businesses operating
to earn a profit. However many of the same concepts and principles also apply to not-forprofit organizations such as hospitals, churches, and government agencies.
Types of Businesses
Three types of businesses operated for profit include service, merchandising, and
manufacturing businesses.
1 A complete glossary of terms appears at the end of the text.
Chapter 1

Each type of business and some examples are described below.
Service businesses provide services rather than products to customers.
Roughly eight out of every
ten workers in the United
States are service providers.
Delta Air Lines (transportation services)
The Walt Disney Company (entertainment services)
Merchandising businesses sell products they purchase from other businesses to
customers.
Wal-Mart (general merchandise)
Amazon.com (Internet books, music, videos)
Manufacturing businesses change basic inputs into products that are sold to
customers.
General Motors Corporation (cars, trucks, vans)
Dell Inc. (personal computers)
The Role of Accounting in Business
What is the role of accounting in business? The simplest answer is that accounting provides information for managers to use in operating the business. In addition, accounting
provides information to other users in assessing the economic performance and condition
of the business.
Thus, accounting can be defined as an information system that
provides reports to users about the economic activities and conAccounting is an information sysdition of a business. You may think of accounting as the “language
tem that provides reports to users
of business.” This is because accounting is the means by which
about the economic activities and
businesses’ financial information is communicated to users.
condition of a business.
The process by which accounting provides information to
users is as follows:
1. Identify users.
2. Assess users’ information needs.
3. Design the accounting information system to meet users’ needs.
4. Record economic data about business activities and events.
5. Prepare accounting reports for users.
As illustrated in Exhibit 1, users of accounting information can be divided into two
groups: internal users and external users.

Chapter 1
Internal users of accounting information include managers and employees. These
users are directly involved in managing and operating the business. The area of accounting that provides internal users with information is called managerial accounting or management accounting. The objective of managerial accounting is to provide
relevant and timely information for managers’ and employees’ decision-making needs.
Often times, such information is sensitive and is not distributed outside the business.
Examples of sensitive information might include information about customers, prices,
and plans to expand the business. Managerial accountants employed by a business are
employed in private accounting.
External users of accounting information include customers, creditors, and the government. These users are not directly involved in managing and operating the business. The area of accounting that provides external users with information is called
financial accounting. The objective of financial accounting is to provide relevant and
timely information for the decision-making needs of users outside of the business. For
example, financial reports on the operations and condition of the business are useful
for banks and other creditors in deciding whether to lend money to the business.
General-purpose financial statements are one type of financial accounting report that
is distributed to external users. The term general-purpose refers to the wide range of
decision-making needs that these reports are designed to serve. Later in this chapter,
we describe and illustrate general-purpose financial statements.
Role of Ethics in Accounting and Business
The objective of accounting is to provide relevant, timely information for user decision
making. Accountants must behave in an ethical manner so that the information they
provide will be trustworthy and, thus, useful for decision making. Managers and employees must also behave in an ethical manner in managing and operating a business.
Otherwise, no one will be willing to invest in or loan money to the business.
Ethics are moral principles that guide the conduct of individuals. Unfortunately,
business managers and accountants sometimes behave in an unethical manner. A number of managers of the companies listed in Exhibit 2 engaged in accounting or business
fraud. These ethical violations led to fines, firings, and lawsuits. In some cases, managers were criminally prosecuted, convicted, and sent to prison.
What went wrong for the managers and companies listed in Exhibit 2? The answer
normally involved one or both of the following two factors:
Failure of Individual Character. An ethical manager and accountant is honest and
fair. However, managers and accountants often face pressures from supervisors to
meet company and investor expectations. In many of the cases in Exhibit 2, managers and accountants justified small ethical violations to avoid such pressures.
However, these small violations became big violations as the company’s financial
problems became worse.
Culture of Greed and Ethical Indifference. By their behavior and attitude, senior
managers set the company culture. In most of the companies listed in Exhibit 2, the
senior managers created a culture of greed and indifference to the truth.
DOING THE RIGHT THING
Time Magazine named three women as “Persons of
the Year 2002.” Each of these not-so-ordinary women
had the courage, determination, and integrity to do the
right thing. Each risked their personal careers to expose
shortcomings in their organizations. Sherron Watkins,
an Enron vice president, wrote a letter to Enron’s chairman, Kenneth Lay, warning him of improper accounting
that eventually led to Enron’s collapse. Cynthia Cooper,
an internal accountant, informed WorldCom’s Board of
Directors of phony accounting that allowed WorldCom
to cover up over $3 billion in losses and forced
WorldCom into bankruptcy. Coleen Rowley, an FBI staff
attorney, wrote a memo to FBI Director Robert Mueller,
exposing how the Bureau brushed off her pleas to investigate Zacarias Moussaoui, who was indicted as a
co-conspirator in the September 11 terrorist attacks.

Chapter 1
As a result of the accounting and business frauds shown in Exhibit 2, Congress
passed new laws to monitor the behavior of accounting and business. For example, the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (SOX) was enacted. SOX established a new oversight body
for the accounting profession called the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board
(PCAOB). In addition, SOX established standards for independence, corporate responsibility, and disclosure.
How does one behave ethically when faced with financial or other types of pressure?
A guideline for behaving ethically is shown in Exhibit 3. 2
Opportunities for Accountants
Numerous career opportunities are available for students majoring in accounting.
Currently, the demand for accountants exceeds the number of new graduates entering the job market. This is partly due to the increased regulation of business
caused by the accounting and business frauds shown in Exhibit 2. Also, more and
more businesses have come to recognize the importance and value of accounting
information.
As we indicated earlier, accountants employed by a business are said to be employed
in private accounting. Private accountants have a variety of possible career options within
a company. Some of these career options are shown in Exhibit 4 along with their starting salaries. Accountants who provide audit services, called auditors, verify the accuracy
of financial records, accounts, and systems. As shown in Exhibit 4, several private
accounting careers have certification options.

Accountants and their staff who provide services on a fee basis are said to be
employed in public accounting. In public accounting, an accountant may practice as
an individual or as a member of a public accounting firm. Public accountants who have
met a state’s education, experience, and examination requirements may become
Certified Public Accountants (CPAs). CPAs generally perform general accounting, audit, or tax services. As can be seen in Exhibit 4, CPAs have slightly better starting salaries
than private accountants. Career statistics indicate, however, that these salary differences tend to disappear over time.
Because all functions within a business use accounting information, experience in
private or public accounting provides a solid foundation for a career. Many positions
in industry and in government agencies are held by individuals with accounting
backgrounds.
ACCOUNTING REFORM
The financial accounting and reporting failures of Enron,
WorldCom, Tyco, Xerox, and others shocked the investing public. The disclosure that some of the nation’s largest and best-known corporations had overstated profits
and misled investors raised the question: Where were the
CPAs?
In response, Congress passed the Investor Protection,
Auditor Reform, and Transparency Act of 2002, called the

Sarbanes-Oxley Act. The Act establishes a Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board to regulate the portion of the
accounting profession that has public companies as clients.
In addition, the Act prohibits auditors (CPAs) from providing certain types of nonaudit services, such as investment
banking or legal services, to their clients, prohibits employment of auditors by clients for one year after they
last audited the client, and increases penalties for the
reporting of misleading financial statements.
Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles
If a company’s management could record and report financial data as it saw fit, comparisons among companies would be difficult, if not impossible. Thus, financial accountants
follow generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in preparing reports. These
reports allow investors and other users to compare one company to another.
Accounting principles and concepts develop from research, accepted accounting
practices, and pronouncements of regulators. Within the United States, the Financial
Accounting Standards Board (FASB) has the primary responsibility for developing accounting principles. The FASB publishes Statements of Financial Accounting Standards
as well as Interpretations of these Standards. In addition, the Securities and Exchange
Commission (SEC), an agency of the U.S. government, has authority over the accounting and financial disclosures for companies whose shares of ownership (stock) are
traded and sold to the public. The SEC normally accepts the accounting principles set
forth by the FASB. However, the SEC may issue Staff Accounting Bulletins on accounting matters that may not have been addressed by the FASB.
Many countries outside the United States use generally accepted accounting principles adopted by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). The IASB issues International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs). Significant differences currently
exist between FASB and IASB accounting principles. However, the FASB and IASB are
working together to reduce and eliminate these differences into a single set of accounting
principles. Such a set of worldwide accounting principles would help facilitate investment and business in an increasingly global economy.
In this chapter and text, we emphasize accounting principles and concepts. It is by
this emphasis on the “why” as well as the “how” that you will gain an understanding
of accounting.

Chapter 1
Business Entity Concept
The business entity concept limits the economic data in an accounting system to
data related directly to the activities of the business. In other words, the business is
viewed as an entity separate from its owners, creditors, or other
businesses. For example, the accountant for a business with

these forms and their major characteristics are listed below.

Used by large businesses.
The three types of businesses we discussed earlier—service, merchandising, and
manufacturing—may be organized as proprietorships, partnerships, corporations, or
limited liability companies. Because of the large amount of resources required to operate a manufacturing business, most manufacturing businesses such as Ford Motor
Company are corporations. Most large retailers such as Wal-Mart and Home Depot are
also corporations.
The Cost Concept
Under the cost concept, amounts are initially recorded in the accounting records at
their cost or purchase price. To illustrate, assume that Aaron Publishers purchased the
following building on February 20, 2008:
Price listed by seller on January 1, 2008
Aaron Publishers’ initial offer to buy on January 31, 2008
Purchase price on February 20, 2008
Estimated selling price on December 31, 2010
Assessed value for property taxes, December 31, 2010
$160,000
140,000
150,000
220,000
190,000
Under the cost concept, Aaron Publishers records the purchase of the building on
February 20, 2008, at the purchase price of $150,000. The other amounts listed above
have no effect on the accounting records.
The fact that the building has an estimated selling price on December 31, 2010,
indicates that the building has increased in value. However, to use the $220,000 in the
accounting records would be to record an illusory or unrealized profit. If Aaron
Publishers sells the building on January 9, 2011, for $220,000, a profit of $70,000 is then
realized and recorded. The new owner would record $220,000 as its cost of the building.
Chapter 1
9
The cost concept also involves the objectivity and unit of measure concepts. The
objectivity concept requires that the amounts recorded in the accounting records be
based on objective evidence. In exchanges between a buyer and a seller, both try to get
the best price. Only the final agreed-upon amount is objective enough to be recorded
in the accounting records. If amounts in the accounting records were constantly being
revised upward or downward based on offers, appraisals, and opinions, accounting reports could become unstable and unreliable.
The unit of measure concept requires that economic data be recorded in dollars.
Money is a common unit of measurement for reporting financial data and reports.

Cost Concept
On August 25, Gallatin Repair Service extended an offer of $125,000 for land that had been priced for
sale at $150,000. On September 3, Gallatin Repair Service accepted the seller’s counteroffer of $137,000.
On October 20, the land was assessed at a value of $98,000 for property tax purposes. On December 4,
Gallatin Repair Service was offered $160,000 for the land by a national retail chain. At what value should
the land be recorded in Gallatin Repair Service’s records?
$137,000. Under the cost concept, the land should be recorded at the cost to Gallatin Repair Service.

State the
accounting
equation and define
each element of the
equation.
The Accounting Equation
The resources owned by a business are its assets. Examples of assets include cash, land,
buildings, and equipment. The rights or claims to the assets are divided into two types:
(1) the rights of creditors and (2) the rights of owners. The rights of creditors are the
debts of the business and are called liabilities. The rights of the owners are called
owner’s equity. The following equation shows the relationship among assets, liabilities,
and owner’s equity:
Assets Liabilities Owner’s Equity

Accounting Equation
John Joos is the owner and operator of You’re A
Star, a motivational consulting business. At the
end of its accounting period, December 31, 2009,
You’re A Star has assets of $800,000 and liabilities
of $350,000. Using the accounting equation,
determine the following amounts:
a. Owner’s equity, as of December 31, 2009.
b. Owner’s equity, as of December 31, 2010,
assuming that assets increased by $130,000
and liabilities decreased by $25,000
during 2010.
a.
$800,000 $350,000 Owner’s Equity
Owner’s Equity $450,000
b. First, determine the change in Owner’s Equity
during 2010 as follows:
Next, add the change in Owner’s Equity on
December 31, 2009 to arrive at Owner’s Equity
on December 31, 2010, as shown below.
Owner’s Equity on December 31, 2010 $605,000 $450,000 $155,000
$130,000 $25,000 Owner’s Equity
Owner’s Equity $155,000

Chapter 1
This equation is called the accounting equation. Liabilities usually are shown before
owner’s equity in the accounting equation because creditors have first rights to the assets.
Given any two amounts, the accounting equation may be solved for the third unknown
amount. To illustrate, if the assets owned by a business amount to $100,000 and the liabilities amount to $30,000, the owner’s equity is equal to $70,000, as shown below.
$100,000 $30,000 $70,000

how business
transactions can be

Business Transactions and the
Accounting Equation
Paying a monthly telephone bill of $168 affects a business’s financial condition because
it now has less cash on hand. Such an economic event or condition that directly changes
an entity’s financial condition or its results of operations is a business transaction. For
example, purchasing land for $50,000 is a business transaction. In contrast, a change in
a business’s credit rating does not directly affect cash or any other asset, liability, or
owner’s equity amount.
All business transactions can be stated in terms of changes in the elements of the
accounting equation. We illustrate how business transactions affect the accounting
equation by using some typical transactions. As a basis for illustration, we use a business organized by Chris Clark.
Assume that on November 1, 2009, Chris Clark begins a business that will be known
as NetSolutions. The first phase of Chris’s business plan is to operate NetSolutions as
a service business assisting individuals and small businesses in
developing Web pages and installing computer software. Chris
expects this initial phase of the business to last one to two years.

The accounting equation serves as the basic foundation for
the accounting systems of all companies. From the smallest business, such as the local convenience store, to the

Each transaction during NetSolutions’ first month of operations is described in the following paragraphs. The effect of each transaction on the accounting equation is then shown.
Transaction A
Nov. 1, 2009 Chris Clark deposits $25,000 in a bank account in the name of
NetSolutions.
This transaction increases the asset cash (on the left side of the equation) by $25,000.
To balance the equation, the owner’s equity (on the right side of the equation) increases
by the same amount. The equity of the owner is identified using the owner’s name and
“Capital,” such as “Chris Clark, Capital.”
The effect of this transaction on NetSolutions’ accounting equation is shown below.

Since Chris Clark is the sole owner, NetSolutions is a proprietorship. Also, the
accounting equation shown above is only for the business, NetSolutions. Under the
business entity concept, Chris Clark’s personal assets, such as a home or personal bank
account, and personal liabilities are excluded from the equation.
Transaction B
Nov. 5, 2009 NetSolutions paid $20,000 for the purchase of land as a future
building site.
The land is located in a business park with access to transportation facilities. Chris Clark
plans to rent office space and equipment during the first phase of the business plan.
During the second phase, Chris plans to build an office and a warehouse on the land.
The purchase of the land changes the makeup of the assets, but it does not change
the total assets. The items in the equation prior to this transaction and the effect of the
transaction are shown below. The new amounts are called balances.

Transaction C
Nov. 10, 2009 NetSolutions purchased supplies for $1,350 and agreed to pay the
supplier in the near future.
You have probably used a credit card to buy clothing or other merchandise. In
this type of transaction, you received clothing for a promise to pay your credit card
bill in the future. That is, you received an asset and incurred a liability to pay a future
bill. NetSolutions entered into a similar transaction by purchasing supplies for $1,350
and agreeing to pay the supplier in the near future. This type of transaction is called a
purchase on account and is often described as follows: Purchased supplies on account,
$1,350.
12
Chapter 1
The liability created by a purchase on account is called an account payable. Items
such as supplies that will be used in the business in the future are called prepaid
expenses, which are assets. Thus, the effect of this transaction is to increase assets
(Supplies) and liabilities (Accounts Payable) by $1,350, as follows:
Other examples of common
prepaid expenses include
insurance and rent.
Businesses often report
these assets together as
a single item, prepaid
expenses.

Transaction D
Nov. 18, 2009 NetSolutions received cash of $7,500 for providing services to
customers.
You may have earned money by painting houses or mowing lawns. If so, you received
money for rendering services to a customer. Likewise, a business earns money by selling goods or services to its customers. This amount is called revenue.
During its first month of operations, NetSolutions received cash of $7,500 for providing services to customers. The receipt of cash increases NetSolutions’ assets and also
increases Chris Clark’s equity in the business. The revenues of $7,500 are recorded in
a Fees Earned column to the right of Chris Clark, Capital. The effect of this transaction
is to increase Cash and Fees Earned by $7,500, as shown below.

Different terms are used for the various types of revenues. As illustrated above,
revenue from providing services is recorded as fees earned. Revenue from the sale of
merchandise is recorded as sales. Other examples of revenue include rent, which is
recorded as rent revenue, and interest, which is recorded as interest revenue.
Instead of receiving cash at the time services are provided or goods are sold, a business may accept payment at a later date. Such revenues are described as fees earned on
account or sales on account. For example, if NetSolutions had provided services on account
instead of for cash, transaction (d) would have been described as follows: Fees earned on
account, $7,500.
In such cases, the firm has an account receivable, which is a claim against the
customer. An account receivable is an asset, and the revenue is earned and recorded
as if cash had been received. When customers pay their accounts, Cash increases and
Accounts Receivable decreases.
Transaction E
Nov. 30, 2009 NetSolutions paid the following expenses during the month:
wages, $2,125; rent, $800; utilities, $450; and miscellaneous, $275.
During the month, NetSolutions spent cash or used up other assets in earning revenue.
Assets used in this process of earning revenue are called expenses. Expenses include
supplies used and payments for employee wages, utilities, and other services.
Chapter 1
13
NetSolutions paid the following expenses during the month: wages, $2,125; rent,
$800; utilities, $450; and miscellaneous, $275. Miscellaneous expenses include small
amounts paid for such items as postage, coffee, and newspapers. The effect of expenses
is the opposite of revenues in that expenses reduce assets and owner’s equity. Like fees
earned, the expenses are recorded in columns to the right of Chris Clark, Capital.
However, since expenses reduce owner’s equity, the expenses are entered as negative
amounts. The effect of this transaction is shown below.

Businesses usually record each revenue and expense transaction as it occurs.
However, to simplify, we have summarized NetSolutions’ revenues and expenses for
the month in transactions (d) and (e).
Transaction F
Nov. 30, 2009
NetSolutions paid creditors on account, $950.
When you pay your monthly credit card bill, you decrease the cash in your checking
account and decrease the amount you owe to the credit card company. Likewise, when
NetSolutions pays $950 to creditors during the month, it reduces assets and liabilities,
as shown below.

Paying an amount on account is different from paying an expense. The paying of
an expense reduces owner’s equity, as illustrated in transaction (e). Paying an amount
on account reduces the amount owed on a liability.
Transaction G
Nov. 30, 2009 Chris Clark determined that the cost of supplies on hand at the
end of the month was $550.
The cost of the supplies on hand (not yet used) at the end of the month is $550. Thus,
$800 ($1,350 $550) of supplies must have been used during the month. This decrease
in supplies is recorded as an expense, as shown at the top of the next page.

Nov. 30, 2009
Chris Clark withdrew $2,000 from NetSolutions for personal use.
At the end of the month, Chris Clark withdrew $2,000 in cash from the business for personal use. This transaction is the opposite of an investment in the business by the owner.
Withdrawals by the owner should not be confused with expenses. Withdrawals do not
represent assets or services used in the process of earning revenues. Instead, withdrawals
are a distribution of capital to the owner. Owner withdrawals are identified by the
owner’s name and Drawing. For example, Chris Clark’s withdrawal is identified as Chris
Clark, Drawing. Like expenses, withdrawals are recorded in a column to the right of
Chris Clark, Capital. The effect of the $2,000 withdrawal is shown as follows:

You should note the following in the preceding summary:
1.
2.
3.
The effect of every transaction is an increase or a decrease in one or more of the accounting equation elements.
The two sides of the accounting equation are always equal.
The owner’s equity is increased by amounts invested by the owner and is decreased by
withdrawals by the owner. In addition, the owner’s equity is increased by revenues and
is decreased by expenses.
The effects of these four types of transactions on owner’s equity are illustrated in
Exhibit 5.

Describe the
financial
statements of a
proprietorship and
explain how they
interrelate.
After transactions have been recorded and summarized, reports are prepared for users.
The accounting reports providing this information are called financial statements.
The primary financial statements of a proprietorship are the income statement, the statement of owner’s equity, the balance sheet, and the statement of cash flows. The order
that the financial statements are prepared and the nature of each statement is described
as follows.

A summary of the changes in the owner’s

A list of the assets, liabilities, and owner’s
equity as of a specific date, usually at the
close of the last day of a month or a year.
A summary of the cash receipts and cash
payments for a specific period of time, such
as a month or a year.
The four financial statements and their interrelationships are illustrated in Exhibit 6,
on page 18. The data for the statements are taken from the summary of transactions of
NetSolutions on page 14.
All financial statements are identified by the name of the business, the title of the
statement, and the date or period of time. The data presented in the income statement,
the statement of owner’s equity, and the statement of cash flows are for a period of
time. The data presented in the balance sheet are for a specific date.
Income Statement
When you buy something at
a store, you may match the
cash register total with the
amount you paid the cashier
and with the amount of
change, if any, you received.
The income statement reports the revenues and expenses for a period of time, based on the
matching concept. This concept is applied by matching the expenses with the revenue generated during a period by those expenses. The excess of the revenue over the expenses is
called net income or net profit. If the expenses exceed the revenue, the excess is a net loss.
The revenue and expenses for NetSolutions were shown in the equation as separate
increases and decreases in each item. Net income for a period increases the owner’s equity
(capital) for the period. A net loss decreases the owner’s equity (capital) for the period.

The revenue, expenses, and the net income of $3,050 for NetSolutions are reported
in the income statement in Exhibit 6, on page 18. The order in which the expenses are
listed in the income statement varies among businesses. Most businesses list expenses
in order of size, beginning with the larger items. Miscellaneous expense is usually shown
as the last item, regardless of the amount.
The statement of owner’s equity reports the changes in the owner’s equity for a period
of time. It is prepared after the income statement because the net income or net loss
for the period must be reported in this statement. Similarly, it is prepared before
the balance sheet, since the amount of owner’s equity at the end of the period must
be reported on the balance sheet. Because of this, the statement of owner’s equity
is often viewed as the connecting link between the income statement and balance
sheet.
Three types of transactions affected owner’s equity for NetSolutions during
November: (1) the original investment of $25,000, (2) the revenue and expenses that
resulted in net income of $3,050 for the month, and (3) a withdrawal of $2,000 by the
owner. This information is summarized in the statement of owner’s equity in Exhibit 6.

Using the data for Chickadee Travel Service shown in Example Exercise 1-4, prepare a statement
of owner’s equity for the current year ended April 30, 2010. Adam Cellini invested an additional
$50,000 in the business during the year and withdrew cash of $30,000 for personal use.

Balance Sheet
Bank loan officers use a business’s financial statements in
deciding whether to grant a
loan to the business. Once
the loan is granted, the borrower may be required to
maintain a certain level of
assets in excess of liabilities.
The business’s financial
statements are used to monitor this level.
The balance sheet in Exhibit 6 reports the amounts of NetSolutions’ assets, liabilities,
and owner’s equity as of November 30, 2009. The asset and liability amounts are taken
from the last line of the summary of transactions on page 14. Chris Clark, Capital as of
November 30, 2009, is taken from the statement of owner’s equity. The form of balance
sheet shown in Exhibit 6 is called the account form. This is because it resembles the
basic format of the accounting equation, with assets on the left side and the liabilities
and owner’s equity sections on the right side.3
The assets section of the balance sheet presents assets in the order that they will
be converted into cash or used in operations. Cash is presented first, followed by receivables, supplies, prepaid insurance, and other assets. The assets of a more permanent nature are shown next, such as land, buildings, and equipment.
3 We illustrate an alternative form of balance sheet, called the report form, in Chapter 6. It presents the liabilities and
owner’s equity sections below the assets section.

The statement of cash flows consists of three sections, as shown in Exhibit 6: (1) operating activities, (2) investing activities, and (3) financing activities. Each of these sections is
briefly described below.
Cash Flows from Operating Activities This section reports a summary of cash
receipts and cash payments from operations. The net cash flow from operating activities normally differs from the amount of net income for the period. In Exhibit 6,
NetSolutions reported net cash flows from operating activities of $2,900 and net income
of $3,050. This difference occurs because revenues and expenses may not be recorded
at the same time that cash is received from customers or paid to creditors.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities This section reports the cash transactions
for the acquisition and sale of relatively permanent assets. Exhibit 6 reports that
NetSolutions paid $20,000 for the purchase of land during November.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities This section reports the cash transactions
related to cash investments by the owner, borrowings, and withdrawals by the owner.
Exhibit 6 shows that Chris Clark invested $25,000 in the business and withdrew $2,000
during November.
Preparing the statement of cash flows requires that each of the November cash transactions for NetSolutions be classified as operating, investing, or financing activities.
Using the summary of transactions shown on page 14, the November cash transactions
for NetSolutions are classified as follows:
Transaction
a.

Financing (Withdrawal by Chris Clark)

Chapter 1
Transactions (c) and (g) are not listed above since they did not involve a cash receipt or payment. In addition, the payment of accounts payable in transaction (f) is classified as an operating activity since the account payable arose from the purchase of
supplies, which are used in operations. Using the preceding classifications of November
cash transactions, the statement of cash flows is prepared as shown in Exhibit 6.4
The ending cash balance shown on the statement of cash flows is also reported on
the balance sheet as of the end of the period. To illustrate, the ending cash of $5,900 reported on the November statement of cash flows in Exhibit 6 is also reported as the
amount of cash on hand in the November 30, 2009, balance sheet.
Since November is NetSolutions’ first period of operations, the net cash flow for
November and the November 30, 2009, cash balance are the same amount, $5,900, as
shown in Exhibit 6. In later periods, NetSolutions will report in its statement of cash
flows a beginning cash balance, an increase or a decrease in cash for the period, and
an ending cash balance. For example, assume that for December NetSolutions has a decrease in cash of $3,835. The last three lines of NetSolutions’ statement of cash flows
for December would be as follows:
Decrease in cash
Cash as of December 1, 2009
Cash as of December 31, 2009
$3,835
5,900
$2,065

method are discussed further in Chapter 16.
Chapter 1

Interrelationships Among Financial Statements
Financial statements are prepared in the order of the income statement, statement of
owner’s equity, balance sheet, and statement of cash flows. This order is important because the financial statements are interrelated. These interrelationships for NetSolutions
are shown in Exhibit 6 and are described below.5
Interrelationship
NetSolutions Example (Exhibit 6)
Income Statement and
Equity
Net income or net loss
reported on the income
statement is also reported
on the statement of
owner’s equity as either
an addition (net income)
to or deduction (net loss)
from the beginning owner’s
equity and any additional
investments by the owner
during the period.
NetSolutions’ net income of
$3,050 for November is added to
Chris Clark’s investment of
$25,000 in the statement of
owner’s equity.
Equity and Balance
Sheet
Owner’s capital at the end
of the period reported on
the statement of owner’s
equity is also reported on
the balance sheet as
owner’s capital.
Chris Clark, Capital of $26,050 as
of November 30, 2009, on the
statement of owner’s equity also
appears on the November 30,
2009, balance sheet as Chris
Clark, Capital.
Balance Sheet and
Statement of Cash
Flows
The cash reported on the
balance sheet is also
reported as the end-ofperiod cash on the
statement of cash flows.
Cash of $5,900 reported on the
balance sheet as of November 30,
2009, is also reported on the
November statement of cash
flows as the end-of-period cash.
The preceding interrelationships are important in analyzing financial statements
and the impact of transactions on a business. In addition, these interrelationships serve
as a check on whether the financial statements are prepared correctly. For example, if
the ending cash on the statement of cash flows doesn’t agree with the balance sheet
cash, then an error has occurred.
Financial statements are useful to bankers, creditors, owners, and other users in analyzing and interpreting the financial performance and condition of a business. Throughout
this text, we discuss various tools that are often used to analyze and interpret the financial performance and condition
of a business. The first such tool we introduce is useful in
analyzing the ability of a business to pay its creditors.
The relationship between liabilities and owner’s equity, expressed as a ratio, is computed as follows:
Total Liabilities
Ratio of Liabilities
to Owner’s Equity = Total Owner ,s Equity (or
,
Total Stockholders Equity)
$400
Ratio of Liabilities
=
= 0.015
,
to Owner s Equity
$26,050
Corporations refer to total owner’s equity as total
stockholders’ equity. Thus, you should substitute total
stockholders’ equity for total owner’s equity when computing this ratio for a corporation.
The rights of creditors to a business’s assets take
precedence over the rights of the owners or stockholders.
Thus, the lower the ratio of liabilities to owner’s equity,
the better able the business is to withstand poor business
conditions and pay its obligations to creditors.
To illustrate, NetSolutions’ ratio of liabilities to owner’s
equity at the end of November is 0.015, as calculated at
the top of the next column.
5 Depending on the method of preparing the cash flows from operating activities section of the statement of cash
flows, net income (or net loss) may also appear on the statement of cash flows. This interrelationship or method of
preparing the statement of cash flows, called the “indirect method,” is described and illustrated in Chapter 16.

Describe the nature of a business, the role of accounting, and ethics in business.
Key Points
A business provides goods or services (outputs) to customers with the objective of earning a
profit. Three types of businesses include service,
merchandising, and manufacturing businesses.
Accounting, called the “language of business,” is an information system that provides
reports to users about the economic activities
and condition of a business.
Ethics are moral principles that guide the
conduct of individuals. Good ethical conduct depends on individual character and firm culture.
Accountants are engaged in private accounting or public accounting.

Exercises
• Distinguish among service,
merchandising, and manufacturing businesses.
• Describe the role of accounting
in business and explain why accounting is called the “language
of business.”
• Define ethics and list the two
factors affecting ethical conduct.
• Describe what private and public accounting means.
Summarize the development of accounting principles and relate them to practice.
Key Points
Generally accepted accounting principles
(GAAP) are used in preparing financial statements so that users can compare one company
to another. Accounting principles and concepts
develop from research, practice, and pronouncements of authoritative bodies such as the
Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB),
Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), and
the International Accounting Standards Board
(IASB).
The business entity concept views the business as an entity separate from its owners,
creditors, or other businesses. Businesses may
be organized as proprietorships, partnerships,
corporations, and limited liability companies. The
cost concept requires that properties and services bought by a business be recorded in terms
of actual cost. The objectivity concept requires
that the accounting records and reports be
based on objective evidence. The unit of measure concept requires that economic data be
recorded in dollars.

Blake Gillis, president of Wayside Enterprises, applied for a $175,000 loan from American
National Bank. The bank requested financial statements from Wayside Enterprises as
a basis for granting the loan. Blake has told his accountant to provide the bank with a
balance sheet. Blake has decided to omit the other financial statements because there
was a net loss during the past year.
In groups of three or four, discuss the following questions:
1. Is Blake behaving in a professional manner by omitting some of the financial
statements?
2. a. What types of information about their businesses would owners be willing to
provide bankers? What types of information would owners not be willing to
provide?
b. What types of information about a business would bankers want before extending
a loan?
c. What common interests are shared by bankers and business owners?
On August 1, 2009, Dr. Dana Hendley established Med, a medical practice organized
as a proprietorship. The following conversation occurred the following February between Dr. Hendley and a former medical school classmate, Dr. Elyse Monti, at an
American Medical Association convention in New York City.
Dr. Monti: Dana, good to see you again. Why didn’t you call when you were in Denver? We could have
had dinner together.
Dr. Hendley: Actually, I never made it to Denver this year. My husband and kids went up to our Vail
condo twice, but I got stuck in Fort Lauderdale. I opened a new consulting practice this August and
haven’t had any time for myself since.
Dr. Monti: I heard about it . . . Med . . . something . . . right?
Dr. Hendley: Yes, Med. My husband chose the name.
Dr. Monti: I’ve thought about doing something like that. Are you making any money? I mean, is it worth
your time?
Dr. Hendley: You wouldn’t believe it. I started by opening a bank account with $30,000, and my January
bank statement has a balance of $75,000. Not bad for six months—all pure profit.
Dr. Monti: Maybe I’ll try it in Denver! Let’s have breakfast together tomorrow and you can fill me in on
the details.
Comment on Dr. Hendley’s statement that the difference between the opening
bank balance ($30,000) and the January statement balance ($75,000) is pure profit.

Amber Keck, a junior in college, has been seeking ways to earn extra spending money.
As an active sports enthusiast, Amber plays tennis regularly at the North Fulton Tennis
Club, where her family has a membership. The president of the club recently approached Amber with the proposal that she manage the club’s tennis courts. Amber’s
primary duty would be to supervise the operation of the club’s four indoor and six
outdoor courts, including court reservations.
In return for her services, the club would pay Amber $200 per week, plus Amber
could keep whatever she earned from lessons and the fees from the use of the ball machine. The club and Amber agreed to a one-month trial, after which both would consider an arrangement for the remaining two years of Amber’s college career. On this
basis, Amber organized Deuce. During June 2009, Amber managed the tennis courts
and entered into the following transactions:
a. Opened a business account by depositing $1,250.
b. Paid $250 for tennis supplies (practice tennis balls, etc.).

f. Received $400 in fees from the use of the ball machines during June.
g. Paid $600 for salaries of part-time employees who answered the telephone and took
reservations while Amber was giving lessons.
h. Paid $120 for miscellaneous expenses.
i. Received $800 from the club for managing the tennis courts during June.
j. Determined that the cost of supplies on hand at the end of the month totaled $150;
therefore, the cost of supplies used was $100.

Answers to Self-Examination Questions
1. D A corporation, organized in accordance with
state or federal statutes, is a separate legal entity
in which ownership is divided into shares of
stock (answer D). A proprietorship (answer A) is
an unincorporated business owned by one individual. A service business (answer B) provides
services to its customers. It can be organized as
a proprietorship, partnership, corporation, or
limited liability company. A partnership (answer
C) is an unincorporated business owned by two
or more individuals.
2. A The resources owned by a business are called
assets (answer A). The debts of the business are
called liabilities (answer B), and the equity of the
owners is called owner’s equity (answer D). The relationship between assets, liabilities, and owner’s
equity is expressed as the accounting equation
(answer C).
3. A The balance sheet is a listing of the assets,
liabilities, and owner’s equity of a business at a
specific date (answer A). The income statement
(answer B) is a summary of the revenue and
expenses of a business for a specific period of
time. The statement of owner’s equity (answer C)
summarizes the changes in owner’s equity for a
proprietorship or partnership during a specific
period of time. The statement of cash flows
(answer D) summarizes the cash receipts and
cash payments for a specific period of time.
4. C The accounting equation is:
Therefore, if assets increased by $20,000 and liabilities increased by $12,000, owner’s equity must
have increased by $8,000 (answer C), as indicated
in the following computation:
Assets
$20,000
$12,000 Owner’s Equity
$20,000 $12,000 Owner’s Equity
$8,000
Owner’s Equity
5. B Net income is the excess of revenue over
expenses, or $7,500 (answer B). If expenses exceed
revenue, the difference is a net loss. Withdrawals
by the owner are the opposite of the owner’s
investing in the business and do not affect the
amount of net income or net loss.
