In: Accounting
Distinguish between financial and nonfinancial transactions. Give three examples of each.
Financial transactions affect the accounts in the financial statements in some manner.
Three examples are:
1) Use of equipment-depreciation,
2) Payment of a bond payable,
3) Receipt of cash from a customer for a sale previously made on account.
Nonfinancial transactions include business events that do not impact the financial statements.
Three examples are:
1) A book checked out by a student in a school library,
2) The recording of a customer complaint via a toll-free hotline,
3) Status reports of research and development projects.
