The functions of accounting are to analyze, record, classify, summarize, report, interpret, and communicate financial information. 2. Sole proprietorship—1 owner; unlimited liability; easy to form; limited life Partnership—2 or more owners; unlimited liability; easy to form; limited life Corporation—Stockholders; limited liability; difficult to form; unlimited life 3. Businesses are classified as service, merchandise, or manufacturing. 4. Computer technology has greatly reduced the time required for performing the bookkeeping function. 5. The three elements of the basic accounting equation are assets, liabilities, and owner's equity. 6. Capital is the owner's current investment or equity in the assets of a business.

That is the income statement. 9. False. Revenue is a subdivision of owner's equity. 10. Owner's equity is subdivided into Capital, Withdrawals, Revenue, and Expenses. 11. False. It is a subdivision of owner's equity and records payments of the owner’s personal (non-business) expenses or distributions direct to the owner. It is not a business expense. 12. Reject.
