I am using an ASUS AMD FM2 motherboard, with an AMD Richland APU, but I do not have a dedicated graphics card, since the user of the computer, my father, will not need it, since he shall be using the computer for only word processing, internet browsing, and his tax preparation software, but not playing any movies or video games. Is some of the memory being used for graphics processing?

Most likely that is the case. Most BIOS let you specify just how much RAM is being dedicated to the GPU, but with the applications that are listed, 7GB should be plenty.
Re: Not All Memory is Usable
I think memory is using for graphic processing, as you said. An integrated graphics processing unit doesn't use its own RAM; it utilizes the system's memory instead.
