Answer 1

Answer: December 31

Explanation:

Granite Slab should adopt the year-end of its principal partners.

A principal partner is one who owns 5% or more of a company's stock.

There are therefore two (2) principal partners here: Nelson Black and Brittany Jones as they own 22% and 24% respectively.

Both of these partners have December 31 as their year end so Granite Slab should adopt this date as well.
