CHAPTER 1 ACCOUNTING INFORMATION SYSTEMS: AN OVERVIEW SUGGESTED ANSWERS TO DISCUSSION QUESTIONS 1.1 The value of information is the difference between the benefits realized from using that information and the costs of producing it. Would you, or any organization, ever produce information if its expected costs exceeded its benefits? If so, provide some examples. If not, why? Most organizations produce information only if its value exceeds its cost . However, t here are two situati ons where information may be produced even if its cost exceed s its value . a. It is often difficult to estimate accurately the value of information and the cost of producing it. Therefore, organizations may produce information that they expect will produce benefits in excess of its costs, only to be disappointed after the fact . b. Production of the information may be mandated by either a government agency or a private organization . Examples include the tax reports required by the IRS and disclosure requirem ents for financial reporting. 1.2 Can the characteristics of useful information listed in Table 1 -1 be met simultaneously? Or does achieving one mean sacrificing another? Several of the criteria in Table 1.1 can be met simultaneously . For example, more timely information is also likely to be more relevant . Verifiable information is likely to be more accurate . However, achieving one objective may require sacrificing another . For example, ensuring that information is more complete may reduce its timeliness . Similarly, increased verifiability and accuracy may reduce its timeliness . The decision maker must decide which trade -offs are warranted in each situation.The benefits of buying summaries with Stuvia:
