Question
Chapter C, Problem 1DQ
To determine
Explain the way in which the house and mortgage should be classified in the financial statements of Company H.
Expert Solution & Answer
Explanation of Solution
Sole proprietorship: The form of business entity which is owned and managed by an individual is referred to as sole proprietorship.
- Neither the house nor the mortgage will appear in the financial statements of Company H. The house is a personal asset of Person H, and not an asset used in the business.
- Likewise, the mortgage is a personal liability, not a debt incurred by the business entity. The business entity principle requires that a business entity is regarded as separate from the other affairs of its owner(s).
