Accounting in Business
QUESTION
- The purpose of accounting is to provide decision makers with relevant and reliable information to help them make better decisions. Examples include information for people making investments, loans, and business plans.
- Technology reduces the time, effort, and cost of recordkeeping. There is still a demand for people who can design accounting systems, supervise their operation, analyze complex transactions, and interpret reports. Demand also exists for people who can effectively use computers to prepare and analyze accounting reports. Technology will never substitute for qualified people with abilities to prepare, use, analyze, and interpret accounting information.
- External users and their uses of accounting information include: (a) lenders, to measure the risk and return of loans; (b) shareholders, to assess whether to buy, sell, or hold their shares; (c) directors, to oversee the organization; (d) employees and labor unions, to judge the fairness of wages and assess future employment opportunities; and (e) regulators, to determine whether the organization is complying with regulations. Other users are voters, legislators, governmentofficials, contributors to nonprofits, suppliers, and customers.
- Business owners and managers use accounting information to help answer questions such as: What resources does an organization own? What debts are owed? How much income is earned? Are expenses reasonable for the level of sales? Are customers’ accounts being promptly collected?
- Service businesses include: Standard and Poor’s, Dun & Bradstreet, Merrill Lynch, Southwest Airlines, CitiCorp, Humana, Charles Schwab, and Prudential. Businesses offering products include Nike, Reebok, Gap, Apple, Ford Motor Co., Philip Morris, Coca-Cola, Best Buy, and WalMart.
- The internal role of accounting is to serve the organization’s internal operating functions. It does this by providing useful information for internal users in completing their tasks more effectively and efficiently. By providing this information, accounting helps the organization reach its overall goals.
- Accounting professionals offer many services including auditing, management advice, tax planning, business valuation, and money management.
- Marketing managers are likely interested in information such as sales volume, advertising costs, promotion costs, salaries of sales personnel, and sales commissions.
- Accounting is described as a service activity because it serves decision makers by providing information to help them make better business decisions.
- Some accounting-related professions include consultant, financial analyst, underwriter, financial planner, appraiser, FBI investigator, market researcher, and system designer.

CHAPTER OVERVIEW/ LEARNING OBJECTIVES
Learning Link: Chapter 15 discussed accounts receivable and the accounting adjustments needed for bad debts. In Chapter 16, students will learn how to account for notes receivable and notes payable, emphasizing the treatment of interest.
- This chapter describes how to determine whether an instrument meets all the requirements of negotiability. A negotiable instrument is a financial document that contains an order or promise to pay and meets all the requirements of the Uniform Commercial Code to be transferable to another party.
- The chapter explains how to calculate interest on a note using the formula: Interest = Principal x Interest Rate x Time.
- The chapter explains that the maturity date of a note is determined at the time the note is issued, excluding the issue date itself.
- The chapter explains the routing journal entries required regarding the issuance of a note payable to purchase an asset. The chapter also explains the journal entry required to record interest and pay off the note at maturity.
- The chapter describes the journal entries required when borrowing money from a bank using a note payable which has been discounted by the bank. The borrower discounting a note payable receives the difference between the discount (interest paid up front) and the principal.
- The second part of the chapter discusses journal entries required in notes receivable It explains how to record a note received for a sale of goods, how to record interest income on the note and how to deal with a defaulted note.
- The chapter explains the discounting of notes receivable. A firm with an immediate need for cash can discount a note receivable. Notes Receivable-Discounted represents a contingent liability. If the note’s maker defaults on the note, the business must pay the bank.
- The chapter explains how to use bank drafts and trade acceptances and how to record transactions related to those instruments. Bank drafts, commercial drafts, and trade acceptances are negotiable instruments used in business.
At the beginning of the chapter, there are a few short paragraphs about Bank of America . . . Let’s read these together. . .
Ask students -“If a small business needs to borrow money, what considerations does it need to think about before it borrows the money?”
Answer: One of the most important tasks in starting a business is pulling together enough money to launch and grow. A lack of adequate funding can lead to business failure as expenses outpace profits. Funds to start a business can come from several resources, including banks and investors who will lend money on a variety of terms. Before obtaining a business loan several things should be considered:
- Can you afford the monthly payment?
- If an emergency occurred, and you had less money per month than you thought, would you still be able to pay your loan every month?
- How long will your loan last?
- Will the business be making payments for 3 months or 10 years, etc.?
- The interest being charged on the loan is an important factor as well. Business owners should try to keep the interest rate as low as possible. Will the loan be discounted by the issuer?
If so, then this will actually mean that the business is paying a higher interest rate. Keep in mind that businesses may deduct the interest paid on loans from their federal income tax return and this is advantageous for start-ups that need to reinvest all profits back into the business. And lastly, a solid business credit profile is advantageous to start-ups because it builds credibility and the business's ability to attract new creditors in the future. Borrowing money establishes business credit because the lender reports timely payments to credit bureaus that maintain a credit profile of the new business | Solution Manual for Intermediate Accounting 3rd Edition by Wahlen

What’s Ethical?
- Answers will vary. Some concerns include data privacy and integrity in the software switchover, tax and employee pay integrity on the new software, and employee pay methods.
- Answers will vary. Liza could choose to ignore her sorority sister’s request, claiming professional responsibility. She could also discontinue active participation in the sorority. In any case, Liza must not consent to her sorority sister’s request for confidential information.
Confidential Records
As a payroll clerk, your task is to protect the privacy and confidentiality of the information you maintain for the company. If a student group—or any personnel aside from the company’s payroll employees and officers—wishes to review confidential records, you should deny their request. If needed, you should refer the group to your department’s manager to discuss the matter in more depth. The laws that apply to this situation are the Privacy Act of 1974, the Freedom of Information Act, and potentially HIPAA.
Large vs.Small
- Large companies face issues with multiple departments, employee access to online personnel portals, employee data security, and timekeeping accuracy.
- For small companies, the cost of outsourcing the payroll function needs to be considered. On one hand, a small company may not have personnel who are proficient with payroll regulations and tax reporting requirements, which leaves a company vulnerable to legal actions and stringent fines. However, engaging a payroll service company may be cost prohibitive. The decision to outsource the payroll for a small company should take into accountthe number of personnel, locations, and types of operations in which the company engages.

Chapter Outline
LO 1-1 Describe the way managers use accounting information to create value in organizations.
VALUE CREATION IN ORGANIZATIONS
- Why Start with Value Creation?
- Goal of cost accounting is to assist manages in achieving the maximum value for their organizations.
- The value chain is the set of activities that transforms raw resources into the goods and services end users purchase and consume.
- It includes the treatment or disposal of any waste generated by the end users.
- Value-added activities are those that customers perceive as adding utility to the goods or services they purchase.
- Exhibit 1.1 identifies the individual components of the value chain and providesexamples of the activities in each component, along with some of the costs associatedwith these activities.Although the list of value chain components suggests a sequential process, many of the components overlap.
- Research and development (R&D): The creation and development of ideas related to new products, services, or processes.
- Design: The detailed development and engineering of products, services, or processes.
- Purchasing: The acquisition of goods and services needed to produce a good or service.
- Production: The collection and assembly of resources to produce a product or deliver a service.
- Marketing and Sales: The process of informing potential customers about the attributes of products or services that leads to their sale.
- Distribution: The process for delivering products or services to customers.
- Customer service: The support activities provided to customers for a product or service.
- Before product ideas are formulated,no value exists. Once an idea is established, however, value is created.
- Whenresearch and development of the product begins, value increases.
- As the productreaches the design phase, value continues to increase.
- Each component adds value tothe product or service.
- Administrative functions, such as human resource management and accounting, are not included as part of the value chain; they are included instead in every business function of the value chain.
- Supply Chain and Distribution Chain
- The supply chainincludes the set of firms and individualsthat sells goods and servicesto the firm. (See Business Application box “Choosing Where to Produce in the Supply Chain.”)
- The distribution chainincludes the set of firms and individualsthat buys and distributesgoods and services fromthe firm.
- These suppliers and customers are on the firm’s boundaries. Thus, the supply chain and distribution chain are the parts of the value chain outside the firm.
- Using Cost Information to Increase Value
- The measurement and reporting of costs is avaluable activity.
- Cost information that is received too late to help managersmakedecisionswould not add value.
- Accounting and the Value Chain
- Cost accounting focuses on how the individual stages contribute to the value and how to work with other managers to improve performance.
