Answer:

Comparability : Inter company comparison , Consistency : Company time series comparison.

Explanation:

Consistency is quality of accounting information, enabling the same  company's financial performance comparison over different periods of time. Consistency needs stable accounting methods used for a considerable period of time, unless their changing is necessary.

Eg : Using whichever method straight line or written down value - to calculate depreciation, should not be changed unless necessary.

Comparability is the quality of accounting information, enabling the company's financial performance comparison with other companies. It needs accounting methods following generally accepted accounting principles.

Eg: Accrual basis of accounting is generally standardised, acceptable and using other i.e cash basis won't enable company's comparison with others.

Consistency and comparability are very crucial to analyse company's financial performance - growth with time, growth as per industry standards respectively.

cricket20 [7]

Answer:

The missing part of the question is found below:

Cinnamon Buns Co. (CBC) started 2021 with $52,000 of merchandise on hand. During 2021, $280,000 in merchandise was purchased on account with credit terms of 2/10, n/30. All discounts were taken. Purchases were all made f.o.b. shipping point. CBC paid freight charges of $9,000. Merchandise with an invoice amount of $4,000 was returned for credit. Cost of goods sold for the year was $316,000. CBC uses a perpetual inventory system.

Option A,$318,000 is correct

Explanation:

The points to note  in answering this question are :

The opening inventory of $52,000 was overvalued as $10,000 out of it was held for third as consignment,hence it does belong to Cinnamon Buns Co(CBC).

Secondly,in calculating the costs of goods available the freight charges are disregarded since it assumed to have been paid by the supplier.

Lastly discounts are assumed not have been taken,as a result the purchase and returns should be stated at invoice prices.

Restated opening inventory=$52,000-$10,000=$42,000

Merchandise purchased is $280,000

merchandise returned is $4,000

Costs of goods available=opening inventory+purchases-returns

                                         =$42,000+$280,000-$4000

                                         =$318,000
