Question

Going-concern principle B. Business entity principle C. Objectivity principle D. Cost Principle E. Monetary unit principle

Answer 1

Answer:

A. Going-concern principle

Explanation:

The correct Choice is A.

This concept assumes that the business unit will continue operating under the same economic conditions and in the same general environment. But it does not assume that the business unit will be profitable as long as it exists.

Accounting is based on the assumption that business unit will be operating for long. When a business is started , it is assumed that the business will not be dissolved in the near future. The accounting system provides a continuous record of the performance of the business throughout its existence.
