Dear Student,
Why This Course? Remember your biology course in high school? Did you have

This accounting course offers something similar: To understand a business, you have to understand the financial insides of a business organization An accounting course will help you under- stand the essential financial components of businesses Whether you are looking at a large multinational company like Microsoft or Starbucks or a single-owner software consulting business or coffee shop, knowing the fundamentals of accounting will help you understand what is happening As an employee, a manager, an investor, a business owner, or a director of your own personal finances—any of which roles you will have at some point in your life—you will be much the wiser for having taken this course.
Why This Book? Hundreds of thousands of students have used this textbook Your

How To Succeed? We’ve asked many students and many instructors whether there
is a secret for success in this course The nearly unanimous answer turns out to be not much of a secret: “Do the homework.” This is one course where doing is learning, and the more time you spend on the homework assignments—using the various tools that this textbook provides—the more likely you are to learn the essential concepts, techniques, and methods of accounting Besides the textbook itself, the book’s companion website offers various support resources.
Good luck in this course We hope you enjoy the experience and that you put to good use throughout a lifetime of success the knowledge you obtain in this course We are sure you will not be disappointed.

Wall Street No Friend of Facebook
In the 1990s, it was the dream of every young technology entrepreneur to start a stock exchange It seemed like there was a never-ending supply of 20-something year-old technology entrepreneurs that made millions doing IPOs of companies that never made
a profit and eventually failed In sharp contrast to this is Mark Zuckerberg, the 25-year-old founder and CEO of Facebook If Facebook did an IPO, he would make billions of dollars But, he
is in no hurry to go public Because his company doesn’t need to invest in factories, distribution Zuckerberg has more control over the direction of the company Right now, he and the other term investment horizons rather than long-term goals In addition, publicly traded companies face many more financial reporting disclosure requirements.

Feature Story
KNOWING THE NUMBERS
Many students who take this course do not plan to be accountants If you are in that group, you might be thinking, “If I’m not going to be an accountant, why do I need
to know accounting?” In response, consider the quote from Harold Geneen, the former chairman of IT&T : “To be good at your business, you have to know the numbers—
cold.” Success in any business comes back to the numbers You will rely on them to make decisions, and managers will use them to evaluate your performance That is true whether your job involves marketing, produc- tion, management, or information systems.
In business, accounting and fi nancial statements are the means for communi- cating the numbers If you don’t know how
to read fi nancial statements, you can’t really know your business.
Many companies spend signifi cant resources teaching their employees basic accounting so

that they can read fi nancial statements and understand how their actions affect the company’s fi nancial results
One such company is Springfi eld ReManufacturing Corporation (SRC) When Jack Stack and 11 other managers purchased SRC for 10 cents
a share, it was a failing division of
International Harvester Jack’s 119 employees, however, were counting
on him for their livelihood He decided that for the company to survive, every employee needed to think like a businessperson and to act like an owner To accomplish this, all employees at SRC took basic accounting courses and participated in weekly reviews of the company’s fi nancial statements
SRC survived, and eventually thrived To this day, every employee (now numbering more than 1,000) undergoes this same training.
Many other companies have adopted this approach, which is called “open-book management.”
Even in companies that do not practice open-book management, employers generally assume that managers in all areas of the company are “fi nancially literate.”
Taking this course will go a long way to making you fi nancially literate In this book, you will learn how to read and prepare fi nancial statements, and how to use basic tools to evaluate
fi nancial results Appendices A and B provide real fi nancial statements of two well-known companies, PepsiCo, Inc and The Coca-Cola Company Throughout this textbook, we attempt to increase your familiarity with fi nancial reporting by providing numerous references, questions, and exercises that encourage you to explore these fi nancial statements.

to understand what was happening fi nancially to their organizations Accounting
is the fi nancial information system that provides these insights In short, to stand your organization, you have to know the numbers.
under-Accounting consists of three basic activities—it identifi es, records, and municates the economic events of an organization to interested users Let’s take a
com-closer look at these three activities.
Three Activities
As a starting point to the accounting process, a company identifi es the economic events relevant to its business Examples of economic events are the sale of snack
chips by PepsiCo , providing of telephone services by AT&T , and payment of wages
by Ford Motor Company
Once a company like PepsiCo identifi es economic events, it records those
events in order to provide a history of its fi nancial activities Recording consists of
The opening story about Springfi eld ReManufacturing Corporation highlights the importance of
having good fi nancial information to make effective business decisions Whatever one’s pursuits or
occupation, the need for fi nancial information is inescapable You cannot earn a living, spend money,
buy on credit, make an investment, or pay taxes without receiving, using, or dispensing fi nancial
information Good decision making depends on good information.
The purpose of this chapter is to show you that accounting is the system used to provide useful fi nancial
information The content and organization of Chapter 1 are as follows.
• Ethics in fi nancial reporting
• Generally accepted accounting principles
• Measurement principles

keeping a systematic, chronological diary of events, measured in dollars and cents
In recording, PepsiCo also classifi es and summarizes economic events.
Finally, PepsiCo communicates the collected information to interested users by means of accounting reports The most common of these reports are called fi nan- cial statements To make the reported fi nancial information meaningful, PepsiCo
reports the recorded data in a standardized way It accumulates information ing from similar transactions For example, PepsiCo accumulates all sales transac- tions over a certain period of time and reports the data as one amount in the
result-company’s fi nancial statements Such data are said to be reported in the aggregate
By presenting the recorded data in the aggregate, the accounting process simplifi es
a multitude of transactions and makes a series of activities understandable and meaningful.
A vital element in communicating economic events is the accountant’s ability to
analyze and interpret the reported information Analysis involves use of ratios,
per-centages, graphs, and charts to highlight signifi cant fi nancial trends and relationships
Interpretation involves explaining the uses, meaning, and limitations of reported data Appendix A of this textbook shows the fi nancial statements of PepsiCo, Inc ; Appendix B illustrates the fi nancial statements of The Coca-Cola Company We re- fer to these statements at various places throughout the text At this point, they probably strike you as complex and confusing By the end of this course, you’ll be surprised at your ability to understand, analyze, and interpret them.
Illustration 1-1 summarizes the activities of the accounting process.
2The origins of accounting are generally attributed to the work of Luca Pacioli, an Italian Renaissance mathematician Pacioli was a close friend and tutor to Leonardo da Vinci and a contemporary of
Christopher Columbus In his 1494 text Summa de Arithmetica, Geometria, Proportione et Proportionalite,
Pacioli described a system to ensure that fi nancial information was recorded effi ciently and accurately
You should understand that the accounting process includes the bookkeeping
function Bookkeeping usually involves only the recording of economic events It is therefore just one part of the accounting process In total, accounting involves the entire process of identifying, recording, and communicating economic events.2

Who Uses Accounting Data
The information that a user of fi nancial information needs depends upon the kinds
of decisions the user makes There are two broad groups of users of fi nancial mation: internal users and external users.
infor-INTERNAL USERS Internal users of accounting information are managers who plan, organize, and run
the business These include marketing managers, production supervisors, fi nance directors, and company offi cers In running a business, internal users must answer many important questions, as shown in Illustration 1-2.

Financial accounting answers these questions It provides economic and fi nancial information for investors, creditors, and other external users The information needs
of external users vary considerably Taxing authorities, such as the Internal Revenue Service, want to know whether the company complies with tax laws Regulatory agencies, such as the Securities and Exchange Commission or the Federal Trade
Commission, want to know whether the company is operating within prescribed
rules Customers are interested in whether a company like General Motors will
con-tinue to honor product warranties and support its product lines Labor unions such as
the Major League Baseball Players Association want to know whether the owners have the ability to pay increased wages and benefi ts.
The Building Blocks of Accounting
A doctor follows certain standards in treating a patient’s illness An architect follows certain standards in designing a building An accountant follows certain standards in reporting fi nancial information For these standards to work, a funda- mental business concept must be at work—ethical behavior.
Ethics in Financial Reporting
People won’t gamble in a casino if they think it is “rigged.” Similarly, people won’t play the stock market if they think stock prices are rigged In recent years the fi nan- cial press has been full of articles about fi nancial scandals at Enron , WorldCom ,
HealthSouth , AIG , and others As the scandals came to light, mistrust of fi nancial
reporting in general grew One article in the Wall Street Journal noted that
“repeated disclosures about questionable accounting practices have bruised tors’ faith in the reliability of earnings reports, which in turn has sent stock prices tumbling.”3 Imagine trying to carry on a business or invest money if you could not depend on the fi nancial statements to be honestly prepared Information would have no credibility There is no doubt that a sound, well-functioning economy depends on accurate and dependable fi nancial reporting.

unethical fi nancial reporting In response, Congress passed the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of
2002 (SOX, or Sarbox) Its intent is to reduce unethical corporate behavior and
decrease the likelihood of future corporate scandals As a result of SOX, top management must now certify the accuracy of fi nancial information In addition, penalties for fraudulent fi nancial activity are much more severe
Also, SOX increased the independence of the outside auditors who review the accuracy of corporate fi nancial statements and increased the oversight role of boards of directors.
The standards of conduct by which one’s actions are judged as right or wrong, honest or dishonest, fair or not fair, are ethics Effective fi nancial reporting depends on sound ethical behavior To sensitize you to ethical situations in business and to give you practice at solving ethical dilemmas,
we address ethics in a number of ways in this book:
1 A number of the Feature Stories and other parts of the text discuss the central
importance of ethical behavior to fi nancial reporting.
2 Ethics Insight boxes and marginal Ethics Notes highlight ethics situations and
issues in actual business settings.
3 Many of the All About You topics (available on the book’s companion website)
focus on ethical issues you may face in your college and early-career years.
4 At the end of the chapter, an Ethics Case simulates a business situation and
asks you to put yourself in the position of a decision maker in that case.
When analyzing these various ethics cases, as well as experiences in your own life, it is useful to apply the three steps outlined in Illustration 1-4.

persons or groups who may
be harmed or benefited Askthe question: What are theresponsibilities and obligations
of the parties involved?

The Numbers Behind Not-for-Profi t Organizations
Accounting plays an important role for a wide range of business organizations wide Just as the integrity of the numbers matters for business, it matters at least as much for not-for-profi t organizations Proper control and reporting help ensure that money is used the way donors intended Donors are less inclined to give to an organization if they think the organization is subject to waste or theft The accounting challenges of some large interna-tional not-for-profi ts rival those of the world’s largest businesses For example, after the Haitian earthquake, the Haitian-born musician Wyclef Jean was criticized for the poor accounting controls in a relief fund that he founded Since then, he has hired a new accountant and improved the transparency regarding funds raised and spent

Trang 33Generally Accepted Accounting Principles
The accounting profession has developed standards that are generally accepted and universally practiced This common set of standards is called generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) These standards indicate how to report economic events.
The primary accounting standard-setting body in the United States is the
Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is the agency of the U.S government that oversees
U.S fi nancial markets and accounting standard-setting bodies The SEC relies on the FASB to develop accounting standards, which public compa- nies must follow Many countries outside of the United States have adopted the accounting standards issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) These standards are called International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).
As markets become more global, it is often desirable to compare the result of companies from different countries that report using different accounting standards In order to increase comparability, in recent years the two standard-setting bodies have made efforts to reduce the differ- ences between U.S GAAP and IFRS This process is referred to as con- vergence As a result of these convergence efforts, it is likely that someday there will be a single set of high-quality accounting standards that are used by compa- nies around the world Because convergence is such an important issue, we high-
light any major differences between GAAP and IFRS in International Notes (as shown in the margin here) and provide a more in-depth discussion in the A Look
at IRFS section at the end of each chapter.
Measurement Principles
GAAP generally uses one of two measurement principles, the cost principle or the fair value principle Selection of which principle to follow generally relates to trade- offs between relevance and faithful representation Relevance means that fi nancial
information is capable of making a difference in a decision Faithful representation
means that the numbers and descriptions match what really existed or happened—
it if factual.
COST PRINCIPLE
The cost principle (or historical cost principle) dictates that companies record sets at their cost This is true not only at the time the asset is purchased, but also over the time the asset is held For example if Best Buy purchases land for $300,000, the company initially reports it in its accounting records at $300,000 But what does Best Buy do if, by the end of the next year, the fair value of the land has in- creased to $400,000? Under the cost principle, it continues to report the land at
as-$300,000.
FAIR VALUE PRINCIPLE
The fair value principle states that assets and liabilities should be reported at fair value (the price received to sell an asset or settle a liability) Fair value information may be more useful than historical cost for certain types of assets and liabilities For example, certain investment securities are reported at fair value because market value information is usually readily available for these types of assets In determin- ing which measurement principle to use, companies weigh the factual nature of cost
fi gures versus the relevance of fair value In general, most companies choose to use cost Only in situations where assets are actively traded, such as investment securities,
do companies apply the fair value principle extensively.

Trang 3410 1 Accounting in Action
Assumptions
Assumptions provide a foundation for the accounting process Two main
assump-tions are the monetary unit assumption and the economic entity assumption.
MONETARY UNIT ASSUMPTION
The monetary unit assumption requires that companies include in the accounting records only transaction data that can be expressed in money terms This assump- tion enables accounting to quantify (measure) economic events The monetary unit assumption is vital to applying the cost principle.
This assumption prevents the inclusion of some relevant information in the accounting records For example, the health of a company’s owner, the quality of service, and the morale of employees are not included The reason: Companies can- not quantify this information in money terms Though this information is impor- tant, companies record only events that can be measured in money.
ECONOMIC ENTITY ASSUMPTION
An economic entity can be any organization or unit in society It may be a company
(such as Crocs, Inc ), a governmental unit (the state of Ohio), a municipality (Seattle), a school district (St Louis District 48), or a church (Southern Baptist)
The economic entity assumption requires that the activities of the entity be kept separate and distinct from the activities of its owner and all other economic entities
To illustrate, Sally Rider, owner of Sally’s Boutique, must keep her personal living costs separate from the expenses of the Boutique Similarly, McDonald’s ,
Coca-Cola , and Cadbury-Schweppes are segregated into separate economic entities for accounting purposes.
Proprietorship. A business owned by one person is generally a proprietorship The owner is often the manager/operator of the business Small service-type businesses (plumbing companies, beauty salons, and auto repair shops), farms, and small retail stores (antique shops, clothing stores, and used-book stores)
are often proprietorships Usually only a relatively small amount of money (capital) is necessary to start in business as a proprietorship The owner (proprietor) receives any profi ts, suffers any losses, and is personally liable for all debts of the business There is no legal distinction between the business

assumption.

Why would increasing transparency spur economic growth? (See page 46.)
?
The Korean Discount
If you think that accounting standards don’t matter, consider recent events in South Korea For many years, international investors complained that the fi nancial reports
of South Korean companies were inadequate and inaccurate Accounting practices there often resulted in huge differences between stated revenues and actual revenues Because investors did not have faith in the accuracy of the numbers, they were unwilling to pay as much for the shares of these companies relative to shares of comparable companies in different coun-tries This difference in stock price was often referred to as the “Korean discount.”
In response, Korean regulators decided that, beginning in 2011, companies will have to comply with international accounting standards This change was motivated by a desire to
“make the country’s businesses more transparent” in order to build investor confi dence and spur economic growth Many other Asian countries, including China, India, Japan, and Hong Kong, have also decided either to adopt international standards or to create standards that are based on the international standards

partnership. In most respects a partnership is like a proprietorship except that more than one owner is involved Typically a partnership agreement (written or oral) sets forth such terms as initial investment, duties of each partner, division of net income (or net loss), and settlement to be made upon death or withdrawal of a partner Each partner generally has unlimited personal liability for the debts of the partnership
Like a proprietorship, for accounting purposes the partnership transactions must
be kept separate from the personal activities of the partners Partnerships are often
used to organize retail and service-type businesses, including professional practices (lawyers, doctors, architects, and certifi ed public accountants).
corpora-tion law and having ownership divided into transferable shares of stock is a ration The holders of the shares (stockholders) enjoy limited liability; that is, they are not personally liable for the debts of the corporate entity Stockholders may transfer all or part of their ownership shares to other investors at any time (i.e., sell
corpo-their shares) The ease with which ownership can change adds to the attractiveness
of investing in a corporation Because ownership can be transferred without
dis-solving the corporation, the corporation enjoys an unlimited life.
Although the combined number of proprietorships and partnerships in the United States is more than fi ve times the number of corporations, the revenue produced by corporations is eight times greater Most of the largest enterprises in the United States—for example, ExxonMobil , Ford , Wal-Mart , Citigroup , and
Apple —are corporations.

State the accounting
equation, and defi ne its
components.
The Basic Accounting Equation
The two basic elements of a business are what it owns and what it owes Assets are
the resources a business owns For example, Google has total assets of mately $40.5 billion Liabilities and owner’s equity are the rights or claims against these resources Thus, Google has $40.5 billion of claims against its $40.5 billion of assets Claims of those to whom the company owes money (creditors) are called
approxi-liabilities Claims of owners are called owner’s equity Google has liabilities of $4.5
billion and owners’ equity of $36 billion.
We can express the relationship of assets, liabilities, and owner’s equity as an equation, as shown in Illustration 1-5.
Illustration 1-5
This relationship is the basic accounting equation Assets must equal the sum of liabilities and owner’s equity Liabilities appear before owner’s equity in the basic accounting equation because they are paid fi rst if a business is liquidated.
The accounting equation applies to all economic entities regardless of size, nature
of business, or form of business organization It applies to a small proprietorship such
as a corner grocery store as well as to a giant corporation such as PepsiCo The equation
provides the underlying framework for recording and summarizing economic events.
Let’s look in more detail at the categories in the basic accounting equation.
Assets
As noted above, assets are resources a business owns The business uses its assets in carrying out such activities as production and sales The common characteristic

Spinning the Career Wheel
One question that students frequently ask is, “How will the study of accounting help me?” It should help you a great deal, because a working knowledge of
accounting is desirable for virtually every fi eld of endeavor Some examples of how
accounting is used in other careers include:
General management: Imagine running Ford Motors, Massachusetts General Hospital, Northern Virginia Community College, a Subway franchise, a Trek bike shop All general manag-ers need to understand accounting data in order to make wise business decisions
Marketing: A marketing specialist at a company like Procter & Gamble develops strategies
to help the sales force be successful But making a sale is meaningless unless it is a profi table sale Marketing people must be sensitive to costs and benefi ts, which accounting helps them quantify and understand
Finance: Do you want to be a banker for Bank of America, an investment analyst for Goldman Sachs, a stock broker for Merrill Lynch? These fi elds rely heavily on accounting In all of them you will regularly examine and analyze fi nancial statements In fact, it is diffi cult to get a good
fi nance job without two or three courses in accounting
Real estate: Are you interested in being a real estate broker for Prudential Real Estate? Because a third party—the bank—is almost always involved in fi nancing a real estate transac-tion, brokers must understand the numbers involved: Can the buyer afford to make the pay-ments to the bank? Does the cash fl ow from an industrial property justify the purchase price?
What are the tax benefi ts of the purchase?
How might accounting help you? (See page 46.)

Trang 37possessed by all assets is the capacity to provide future services or benefi ts In a
business, that service potential or future economic benefi t eventually results in cash infl ows (receipts) For example, Campus Pizza owns a delivery truck that provides economic benefi ts from delivering pizzas Other assets of Campus Pizza are tables, chairs, jukebox, cash register, oven, tableware, and, of course, cash.
Liabilities
Liabilities are claims against assets—that is, existing debts and obligations nesses of all sizes usually borrow money and purchase merchandise on credit These economic activities result in payables of various sorts:
• Campus Pizza, for instance, purchases cheese, sausage, fl our, and beverages on
credit from suppliers These obligations are called accounts payable.
• Campus Pizza also has a note payable to First National Bank for the money
borrowed to purchase the delivery truck.
• Campus Pizza may also have salaries and wages payable to employees and sales and real estate taxes payable to the local government.
All of these persons or entities to whom Campus Pizza owes money are its creditors.
Creditors may legally force the liquidation of a business that does not pay its
debts In that case, the law requires that creditor claims be paid before ownership
claims.

The ownership claim on total assets is owner’s equity It is equal to total assets nus total liabilities Here is why: The assets of a business are claimed by either cred- itors or owners To fi nd out what belongs to owners, we subtract the creditors’ claims (the liabilities) from assets The remainder is the owner’s claim on the assets—the
mi-owner’s equity Since the claims of creditors must be paid before ownership claims, owner’s equity is often referred to as residual equity.
INCREASES IN OWNER’S EQUITY
In a proprietorship, owner’s investments and revenues increase owner’s equity.
the business These investments increase owner’s equity They are recorded in a
category called owner’s capital.
busi-ness activities entered into for the purpose of earning income Generally, revenues
result from selling merchandise, performing services, renting property, and lending money Common sources of revenue are sales, fees, services, commissions, interest, dividends, royalties, and rent.
Revenues usually result in an increase in an asset They may arise from ent sources and are called various names depending on the nature of the business
differ-Campus Pizza, for instance, has two categories of sales revenues—pizza sales and beverage sales.
DECREASES IN OWNER’S EQUITY
In a proprietorship, owner’s drawings and expenses decrease owner’s equity.
a separate classifi cation called drawings to determine the total withdrawals for each
accounting period Drawings decrease owner’s equity They are recorded in a
category called owner’s drawings.
Helpful Hint
In some places, we use the term ”owner’s equity” and
in others we use ”owners’
equity.” Owner’s (singular,
possessive) refers to one owner (the case with a sole
proprietorship) Owners’
(plural, possessive) refers to multiple owners (the case with partnerships or corporations)
The Basic Accounting Equation 13
Trang 3814 1 Accounting in Action
Expenses Expenses are the cost of assets consumed or services used in the process
of earning revenue They are decreases in owner’s equity that result from operating the business For example, Campus Pizza recognizes the following expenses: cost of
ingredients (meat, fl our, cheese, tomato paste, mushrooms, etc.); cost of beverages;
salaries and wages expense; utilities expense (electric, gas, and water expense);
delivery expense (gasoline, repairs, licenses, etc.); supplies expense (napkins, gents, aprons, etc.); rent expense; interest expense; and property tax expense.
deter-In summary, owner’s equity is increased by an owner’s investments and by enues from business operations Owner’s equity is decreased by an owner’s with- drawals of assets and by expenses Illustration 1-6 expands the basic accounting equation by showing the accounts that comprise owner’s equity This format is referred to as the expanded accounting equation
Basic Equation: Assets 5 Liabilities 1 Owner’s Equity Expanded Assets 5 Liabilities 1 Owner’s Capital 2 Owner’s Drawings Equation: 1 Revenues 2 Expenses

Using the Accounting Equation
Transactions (business transactions) are a business’s economic events recorded by countants Transactions may be external or internal External transactions involve
ac-economic events between the company and some outside enterprise For example, Campus Pizza’s purchase of cooking equipment from a supplier, payment of monthly
rent to the landlord, and sale of pizzas to customers are external transactions Internal transactions are economic events that occur entirely within one company The use of
cooking and cleaning supplies are internal transactions for Campus Pizza.
Analyze the effects of
business transactions on
the accounting equation.
Classify the following items as investment by owner (I), owner’s drawings (D), revenues (R), or expenses (E) Then indicate whether each item increases or decreases owner’s equity.
(2) Service Revenue (4) Salaries and Wages Expense

✔ Review the rules for
changes in owner’s equity:
Investments and revenues
increase owner’s equity
Expenses and drawings
decrease owner’s equity
✔ Recognize that drawings
are withdrawals of cash or

Trang 39Companies carry on many activities that do not represent business tions Examples are hiring employees, answering the telephone, talking with cus- tomers, and placing merchandise orders Some of these activities may lead to business transactions: Employees will earn wages, and suppliers will deliver ordered merchandise The company must analyze each event to fi nd out if it af- fects the components of the accounting equation If it does, the company will record the transaction Illustration 1-7 demonstrates the transaction-identifi cation process.
transac-Helpful Hint
You will want to study these transactions until you are sure you under-stand them They are not diffi cult, but understand-ing them is important to your success in this course
The ability to analyze transactions in terms of the basic accounting equation is essential in accounting
Each transaction must have a dual effect on the accounting equation For
example, if an asset is increased, there must be a corresponding: (1) decrease in another asset, or (2) increase in a specifi c liability, or (3) increase in owner’s
equity.
Two or more items could be affected For example, as one asset is increased
$10,000, another asset could decrease $6,000 and a liability could increase $4,000
Any change in a liability or ownership claim is subject to similar analysis.
