Which of the following statements is CORRECT?
Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

c. The "apparent," but not necessarily the "true," financial position of a company whose sales are seasonal can change dramatically during a given year, depending on the time of year when the financial statements are constructed.

Explanation:

Financial statements are used to show the financial activity of a business within a given period.

One of the principles of a accounting is periodicity. This requires businesses to report their financial position at regular intervals consistently, and not in an inconsistent manner. So if a business reports their finances twice a year. At year end and at mid year, it is possible that at mid year due to seasonal sales performance will be high and business is perceived to be highly profitable.

But financial report at end of year in the off-season will show low performance.

So for seasonal businesses there can be apparent view of a business during the year that can change dramatically because of time at which reports are made.

Mumz [18]

Answer:

D) is 20% above expectations.

Explanation:

The Augusta Division was supposed to earn a net profit of $1,000,000 (= $2,000,000 - $1,000,000). Since the division's manager and his/her team were able to cut reduce fixed costs to $900,000 and increase contribution margin to $2,100,000 (either by increasing selling price or reducing variable costs), then the division earned a net profit of $1,200,000 (= $2,100,000 - $900,000). This net profit is 20% higher than expected, therefore the manager's (and his/her team's) overall performance was 20% above expectations.
