ACC 318 Module Four Assignment Template Master Glossary 1. Define ordinary income (loss). “Ordinary income (or loss) refers to income (or loss) from continuing operations before income taxes (or benefits) excluding significant unusual or infrequently occurring items. Discontinued operations and cumulative effects of changes in accounting principles are also excluded from this term. The term is not used in the income tax context of ordinary income versus capital gain. The meaning of unusual or infrequently occurring items is consistent with their use in the definitions of the terms unusual nature and infrequency of occurrence .” ( Master Glossary , n.d.) Can find this term in 740-270-00-1. 2. Define error in previously issued financial statements. “An error in recognition, measurement, presentation, or disclosure in financial statements resulting from mathematical mistakes, mistakes in the application of generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), or oversight or misuse of facts that existed at the time the financial statements were prepared.

Would a public company count inventories during each interim period? Yes, a public company should count inventories during each interim period. C. Will management be able to make reasonable estimates of inventory estimates? Why or why not?
