One reason companies are motivated to disclose financial information to external decision makers is that it may lower financing and operating costs. Answer: True Rationale: For example, when a company applies for a loan, the bank uses the company’s financial statements to help determine the appropriate interest rate. Without this financial information, a company may have a higher cost of borrowing or not obtain the loan at all. Topic: Demand for accounting information LO: 1 2. Financial accounting is designed primarily for decision makers within the company. Answer: False Rationale: Financial accounting is designed primarily to provide information to decision makers outside of the company, while managerial accounting is designed primarily for decision makers within the company. Topic: Investing activities LO: 2 3. Investing activities are the acquiring and disposing of liabilities that a company needs in order to finance its operating activities. Answer: False Rationale: Investing activities are the acquiring and disposing of assets that a company needs for the production and sale of a company’s products and services. Topic: Accounting equation LO: 2 4. Assets must always equal liabilities plus stockholders’ equity. Answer: True Rationale: The accounting equation is Assets = Liabilities + Stockholders’ Equity. This relation must always stay in balance. Topic: Financing activities LO: 2 5. Other than operating profit, there are three main sources of external financing. Answer: False Rationale: There are two main sources of financing: owner (also called shareholder or equity) financing and nonowner (also called creditor or lender) financing. ©Cambridge Business Publishers, 2018 Test Bank, Chapter 1 1-3 Topic: Financing and investing activities LO: 2 6. Financing activities are defined as the acquiring and disposing of resources for the purpose of selling products and services. Answer: False Rationale: Financing activities are defined as methods a company uses to raise funds to pay for resources. Investing activities are defined as the acquiring and disposing of resources for the purpose of selling products and services. Topic: Statement of cash flows LO: 3 7. A statement of cash flows reports on cash flows for operating, investing and financing activities at a point in time. Answer: False Rationale: A statement of cash flows reports on cash flows for operating, investing, and financing activities over a period of time. Topic: Retained earnings LO: 3 8. Retained earnings are present on both the income statement and the statement of stockholders’ equity. Answer: False Rationale: Retained earnings are present in the statement of stockholders’ equity and the balance sheet. The income statement represents current period earnings. Topic: Balance sheet LO: 3 9. If a company reports retained earnings of $242.6 million on its balance sheet, it will also report $242.6 million in cash. Answer: False Rationale: The accounting equation requires total assets to equal total liabilities plus stockholders’ equity. That does not imply, however, that liability and equity accounts relate directly to specific assets. Topic: Regulation and Oversight LO: 4 10. The goal of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 was to increase the level of confidence that external users have in the financial statements. Answer: True Rationale: In the wake of scandals, like those that took down Enron, the U.S. Congress passed the Sarbanes-Oxley Act to improve external user confidence in financial statement reporting. ©Cambridge Business Publishers, 2018 1-4 Financial Accounting using IFRS 2nd Edition Topic: Global accounting perspective LO: 4 11. The International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) has legal authority to impose accounting standards on any country.

Foreign companies using international accounting standards must reconcile their financial statements to American rules if they wish to sell securities in the U.S. Answer: False Rationale: The SEC adopted a rule in 2007 that allows foreign companies to stop reconciling to American rules. Topic: Financial statement analysis LO: 5 13. One key measure of profitability is the debt-to-equity ratio. Answer: False Rationale: Return on equity is a key profitability metric. The debt-to-equity ratio is a measure of long-term solvency when looking at credit risk. Topic: Credit risk analysis LO: 5 14. The greater the risk of any decision, the greater the expected return. Answer: True Rationale: The riskier an investment is, the greater the return demanded by investors. Topic: Qualitative characteristics of accounting information LO: 6 15. The qualitative characteristic of accounting information known as comparability means that the same accounting methods should be used from one period to the next, whenever possible.

Answer: True Rationale: The conceptual framework includes, among other things, a statement of the objectives of financial reporting along with a discussion about the qualitative characteristics of accounting information that are important to users.
