Applying accounting assumptions and principles
Learning Objective 2
Michael McNamee is the proprietor of a property management company, Apartment Exchange, near the campus of Pensacola State College. The business has cash of $8,000 and furniture that cost $9,000 and has a market value of $13,000. The business debts include accounts payable of $6,000. Michael’s personal home is valued at $400,000, and his personal bank account has a balance of $1,200.
Consider the accounting principles and assumptions discussed in the chapter, and identify the principle or assumption that best matches the situation:
- Michael’s personal assets are not recorded on the Apartment Exchange’s
balance sheet . - The Apartment Exchange records furniture at its cost of $9,000, not its market value of $13,000
- The Apartment Exchange reports its financial statements in U.S. dollars.
- Michael expects the Apartment Exchange to remain in operation for the foreseeable future.
