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 profit-oriented
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.

Answers to Questions (continued)

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.

Answers to Questions (continued)

Question 1–10
On July 30, 2002, President Bush signed into law the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.
The most dramatic change to federal securities laws since the 1930s, the Act radically
redesigns federal regulation of public company corporate governance and reporting
obligations. It also significantly tightens accountability standards for directors and
officers, auditors, securities analysts, and legal counsel. Student opinions as to the
relative importance of the key provisions of the act will vary. Key provisions in the
order of presentation in the text are:
 Creation of an Oversight Board
 Corporate executive accountability
 Nonaudit services
 Retention of work papers
 Auditor rotation
 Conflicts of interest
 Hiring of auditor
 Internal control

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.

Answers to Questions (continued)

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.

Answers to Questions (continued)
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.

Solutions Manual, Vol.1, Chapter 1 1–7


Copyright © 2020 McGraw-Hill Education. All rights reserved. No reproduction or distribution without the prior written consent of
McGraw-Hill Education.
Answers to Questions (continued)
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.

Answers to Questions (continued)
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. .

Question 1–32
The SEC staff’s Final Staff Report concludes that it is not feasible for the U.S. to
simply adopt IFRS, given (1) a need for the U.S. to have strong influence on the standard
setting process and insure that standards meet U.S. needs, (2) the high costs to
companies of converting to IFRS, and (3) the fact that many laws, regulations and
private contracts reference U.S. GAAP.

DECISION MAKERS’ PERSPECTIVE CASES

Judgment Case 1–1


Requirement 1
The SEC has more authority than the FASB with respect to standard setting. In
the 1934 Securities Act, Congress gave the SEC the job of setting accounting and
reporting standards for companies whose securities are publicly traded. However, the
SEC, a government-appointed body, always has accomplished the task of setting
accounting standards by relying on the private sector, currently the FASB. It is
important to understand that the SEC retains the power to set standards. If the SEC
does not agree with a particular standard promulgated by the private sector, it can, and
has in the past, required a change in the standard.
Requirement 2
1. SEC employees may not have the expertise necessary to set accounting
standards.
2. By relying on a private sector body to set standards, the cost of setting
accounting standards is not borne by taxpayers.
3. By relying on a private sector body to set standards, standards may gain greater
acceptance than if dictated by a public (government) body.
4. The SEC now has a buffer group between itself and concerned constituents.
The SEC avoids criticism if a mistake is made by the FASB.

Research Case 1–2
Requirement 1
The 1933 Act has two basic objectives:
1. To require that investors be provided with material information concerning
securities offered for public sale; and
2. To prevent misrepresentation, deceit, and other fraud in the sale of securities.
Requirement 2
EDGAR:
EDGAR, the Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis, and Retrieval system, performs
automated collection, validation, indexing, acceptance, and forwarding of submissions
by companies and others who are required by law to file forms with the U.S. Securities
and Exchange Commission. Publicly traded domestic companies use EDGAR to make
the majority of their filings. Form 10-K, or 10-KSB, which includes the annual report,
is required to be filed on EDGAR. Foreign companies are not required to file on
EDGAR, but some of these companies do so voluntarily.

Research Case 1–3
Requirement 1
7 - As of the time this book was printed, the FASB had seven members.
Requirement 2
1 - As of the time this book was printed, the FASB had 1 academic member,
Christine Botosan. By custom the FASB has had an academic member as one of the
seven members of the Board.
Requirement 3
The mission of the Financial Accounting Standards Board is to establish and
improve standards of financial accounting and reporting for the guidance and education
of the public, including issuers, auditors, and users of financial information.
Requirement 4
The FASB receives many requests for action on various financial accounting and
reporting topics from all segments of a diverse constituency, including the SEC. The
auditing profession is sensitive to emerging trends in practice, and consequently it is a
frequent source of requests. Overall, requests for action include both new topics and
suggested review or reconsideration of existing pronouncements.
The FASB is alert to trends in financial reporting through observation of published
reports, liaison with interested organizations, and from recommendations from and
discussions with the Emerging Issues Task Force. In addition, the staff receives many
technical inquiries by letter and by telephone, which may provide evidence that a
particular topic, or aspect of an existing pronouncement, has become a problem. The
FASB also is alert to changes in the financial reporting environment
that may be brought about by new legislation or regulatory decisions.
The Board turns to many other organizations and groups for advice and
information on various matters, including its agenda. Among the groups with which
liaison is maintained are the Financial Accounting Standards Advisory Council, the
Accounting Standards Executive Committee and Auditing Standards Board of the
AICPA, and the appropriate committees of such organizations as the Association for
Investment Management and Research (AIMPR), Financial Executives International
(FEI), Institute of Management Accountants (IMA), and Robert Morris Associates.

transparent and comparable information in general purpose financial statements. In
addition, the IASB cooperates with national accounting standard-setters to achieve
convergence in accounting standards around the world.

Communication Case 1–5

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 pollution-causing 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.

Ethics Case 1–7
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.

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 increased information-gathering, processing and
dissemination costs to the companies affected, increased interpreting costs to users, and
adverse economic consequences to the companies, their investors, creditors, employees,
other interest groups as well as to society as a whole.

Requirement 4
The FASB undertakes a series of elaborate information gathering steps before
issuing a substantive accounting standard. These steps include open hearings,
deliberations, and requests for written comments. These steps provide information to
the FASB as to the possible benefits and costs of the new standard.

Section 2. Information about the Mission


of Project Gutenberg™
Project Gutenberg™ is synonymous with the free distribution of
electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of
computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new
computers. It exists because of the efforts of hundreds of
volunteers and donations from people in all walks of life.

Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the


assistance they need are critical to reaching Project
Gutenberg™’s goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg™
collection will remain freely available for generations to come. In
2001, the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was
created to provide a secure and permanent future for Project
Gutenberg™ and future generations. To learn more about the
Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and how your
efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 and the
Foundation information page at www.gutenberg.org.

Section 3. Information about the Project


Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation

profit 501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the
laws of the state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status
by the Internal Revenue Service. The Foundation’s EIN or
federal tax identification number is 64-6221541. Contributions

Section 4. Information about Donations to
the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
Foundation
Project Gutenberg™ depends upon and cannot survive without
widespread public support and donations to carry out its mission
of increasing the number of public domain and licensed works
that can be freely distributed in machine-readable form
accessible by the widest array of equipment including outdated
equipment. Many small donations ($1 to $5,000) are particularly
important to maintaining tax exempt status with the IRS.

The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws


regulating charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of
the United States. Compliance requirements are not uniform
and it takes a considerable effort, much paperwork and many
fees to meet and keep up with these requirements. We do not
solicit donations in locations where we have not received written
confirmation of compliance. To SEND DONATIONS or determine
the status of compliance for any particular state visit
www.gutenberg.org/donate.

While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states


where we have not met the solicitation requirements, we know
of no prohibition against accepting unsolicited donations from
donors in such states who approach us with offers to donate.

International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot


make any statements concerning tax treatment of donations
received from outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp
our small staff.

Please check the Project Gutenberg web pages for current


donation methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a
number of other ways including checks, online payments and
credit card donations. To donate, please visit:
www.gutenberg.org/donate.

Section 5. General Information About


Project Gutenberg™ electronic works
Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project
Gutenberg™ concept of a library of electronic works that could
be freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and
distributed Project Gutenberg™ eBooks with only a loose
network of volunteer support.

Project Gutenberg™ eBooks are often created from several


printed editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by
copyright in the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus,
we do not necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any
particular paper edition.

Most people start at our website which has the main PG search
facility: www.gutenberg.org.

This website includes information about Project Gutenberg™,


including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg
Literary Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new
eBooks, and how to subscribe to our email newsletter to hear
about new eBooks.
