Solution

The false statements are:

  1. "Business events may affect a business but generally cannot be recorded." - This is false because business events that have a financial impact are generally recorded in the accounting system.

  2. "Since owner’s drawings involve the use of personal funds, they are never recorded in the business records." - This is false because owner's drawings, which represent the owner's withdrawal of assets from the business for personal use, are indeed recorded in the business records.
