He withdrew money for living expenses at irregular intervals. As the business grew, he hired an assistant. He is now considering adding more employees, purchasing addi- tional service trucks, and purchasing the building he now rents.

Indicate the accounts that might need to be adjusted before an accurate set of finan- cial statements can be prepared. c. Why did the loan officer ask your brother whether he used the accrual basis of accounting for revenues and expenses? Why would it have been important to use this method?
Flo Choi owns a small business and manages its accounting. Her company just finished a year in which a large amount of borrowed funds was invested in a new building addition as well as in equipment and fixture additions. Choi’s banker requires her to submit semiannual financial statements so he can monitor the financial health of her business.
