    • Fixed

    • Variable

    • Semi-variable

    • Proportionate

    Correct Answer
    A. Fixed
    Explanation
    The salary of the director of nurses and the administrator are examples of fixed costs because they do not change with the level of production or activity.

    • Debentures

    • Assets

    • Possessions

    • Tangibles

    Correct Answer
    A. Assets
    Explanation
    Assets are things owned by a facility or organization.

    Making a debit and a credit entry for each transaction is known as the ____ system of accounting.

    • Single/double

    • Systematic

    • Alternate

    • Double-entry

    Correct Answer
    A. Double-entry
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Double-entry" because this system of accounting requires recording both a debit and a credit entry for each transaction. This method ensures that the accounting equation (assets = liabilities + equity) is maintained and provides a more accurate representation of the financial transactions. It allows for better tracking of financial activities and helps in identifying errors or discrepancies in the accounts.

    A. Current asset
    Explanation
    A current asset refers to any possession of a facility that can be converted into cash within a period of 12 months. This includes assets such as cash, accounts receivable, inventory, and short-term investments. These assets are expected to be utilized or sold within a year and are essential for the day-to-day operations of a business. Therefore, the correct answer is current asset.

    • Daily census form

    • Headcount

    • Weekly census report

    • Occupancy ratio

    Correct Answer
    A. Daily census form
    Explanation
    A daily census form is a useful tool that provides a summary of a facility's occupancy. It includes information on daily admissions, discharges, and transfers, allowing for a clear understanding of the facility's current population. This form helps track the number of patients in the facility on a daily basis, providing valuable data for planning and resource allocation. It is an essential document for healthcare facilities to monitor and manage their occupancy levels effectively.

    • Discourage overbuilding

    • Encourage more building

    • Regulate construction

    • Deregulate construction

    Correct Answer
    A. Encourage more building
    Explanation
    The Congress passed accelerated depreciation with the purpose of encouraging more building. This means that they wanted to incentivize the construction of new facilities by allowing for faster depreciation of assets. By doing so, they hoped to stimulate economic growth and development in the construction industry.

  • 8. 

    Responsibility and blame for overspending in the department of nursing and in food services is typically assigned by the owners to the ____.

    • Director of nursing and director of food services

    • Director of nursing and the dietitian

    • Chief financial officer

    • Administrator

    Correct Answer
    A. Administrator
    Explanation
    The responsibility and blame for overspending in the department of nursing and in food services is typically assigned by the owners to the administrator. The administrator is the person who is in charge of managing and overseeing the overall operations of the organization. They are responsible for making financial decisions and ensuring that the budget is properly allocated. Therefore, it is logical for the owners to hold the administrator accountable for any overspending in these departments.

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    Under accrual accounting, when the accountant shows the amount of medical supplies used during a month in the cash disbursements journal and the general journal the bookkeeper has made ____.

    • A mistake

    • An adjusting entry

    • An inappropriate entry

    • A good accounting judgement

    Correct Answer
    A. An adjusting entry
    Explanation
    Under accrual accounting, the accountant shows the amount of medical supplies used during a month in the adjusting entry. This is because under accrual accounting, expenses are recognized when they are incurred, regardless of when the cash is actually paid. Therefore, the entry to record the amount of medical supplies used would be an adjusting entry, which ensures that the financial statements accurately reflect the expenses incurred during the period.

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

    The accountant, upon successfully bringing the expense and revenue accounts to zero, has successfully ____.

    • Calculated profit

    • Calculated losses

    • Closed the books

    • Completed the financial statements

    Correct Answer
    A. Closed the books
    Explanation
    When the accountant brings the expense and revenue accounts to zero, it means that all expenses and revenues have been properly recorded and accounted for. Closing the books refers to the process of finalizing the accounting records for a specific period, typically at the end of the financial year. By closing the books, the accountant ensures that all transactions have been accurately recorded, allowing for the preparation of accurate financial statements such as the income statement and balance sheet. Therefore, the correct answer is "Closed the books."

    Rate this question:

  • 11. 

    To safeguard the finances of a facility, procedures should be arranged to establish a system of ___ so that employees review each other's financial activities.

    • Checks

    • Dual bookkeeping

    • Checks and balances

    • Anti-theft devices

    Correct Answer
    A. Checks and balances
    Explanation
    Checks and balances is the correct answer because it refers to a system where employees review each other's financial activities to ensure accuracy and prevent fraud. This system helps to safeguard the finances of a facility by creating accountability and transparency in financial transactions. It involves multiple layers of oversight and verification, reducing the risk of errors or intentional wrongdoing. Dual bookkeeping, although related, does not encompass the idea of employees reviewing each other's activities. Anti-theft devices, on the other hand, are physical security measures that may deter theft but do not address the need for internal financial controls.

    Rate this question:

  • 12. 

    The largest directly controllable cost for the average administrator is ____.

    • Inventory/supplies

    • Labor

    • Long-term debt financing costs

    • Short-term debt financing costs

    Correct Answer
    A. Labor
    Explanation
    The largest directly controllable cost for the average administrator is labor. This means that administrators have the ability to directly influence and manage the expenses related to the workforce. Labor costs typically include wages, salaries, benefits, and other expenses associated with hiring and retaining employees. By effectively managing labor costs, administrators can optimize their budget and allocate resources efficiently.

    Rate this question:

  • 13. 

    Land ___ is a depreciable asset.

    • Never

    • Sometimes

    • For for-profit facilities

    • For nonprofit facilities

    Correct Answer
    A. Never
    Explanation
    Land is a depreciable asset because it is considered to have an unlimited useful life and its value does not decrease over time. Depreciation is the allocation of the cost of an asset over its useful life, and since land does not wear out or become obsolete, it is not subject to depreciation. Therefore, the correct answer is "Never."

    Rate this question:

  • 14. 

    Nursing and physical therapy are normally thought of as ___ centers.

    • Cost

    • Loss

    • Revenue

    • Break-even

    Correct Answer
    A. Revenue
    Explanation
    Nursing and physical therapy are normally thought of as revenue centers because they generate income for healthcare facilities. Both nursing and physical therapy services are billable to patients or insurance companies, bringing in revenue for the organization. These services are often in high demand, and healthcare facilities can generate significant income by providing them. Therefore, it is appropriate to consider nursing and physical therapy as revenue centers.

    Rate this question:

  • 15. 

    The portion of a brand in the form of a symbol, design, or distinctive coloring or letter, also called a logo, is an organization's ___.

    • Intangible asset

    • Sign

    • Brand mark

    • Original art

    Correct Answer
    A. Brand mark
    Explanation
    A brand mark refers to the portion of a brand that is represented by a symbol, design, or distinctive coloring or letter, commonly known as a logo. This visual element serves as a unique identifier for an organization and helps to differentiate it from its competitors. It is an important component of a brand's visual identity and plays a crucial role in building brand recognition and recall among consumers. Therefore, the correct answer is brand mark.

    Rate this question:

  • 16. 

    When the financial manager classifies an expense as an asset because it benefits the facility for more than 1 year he has ___ the expense.

    • Adjusted

    • Reduced

    • Spread

    • Capitalized

    Correct Answer
    A. Capitalized
    Explanation
    When the financial manager classifies an expense as an asset because it benefits the facility for more than 1 year, it means that they have capitalized the expense. This means that instead of recognizing the expense immediately on the income statement, it is recorded as an asset on the balance sheet. By doing so, the expense is spread out over its useful life through depreciation or amortization, reflecting its long-term benefit to the facility. This helps in matching the expense with the revenue it generates over time, providing a more accurate representation of the facility's financial position.

    Rate this question:

  • 17. 

    The staff person responsible for assuring that the business office runs smoothly is, in the final analysis, ____.

    • Corporate finance director

    • The administrator

    • Business office staff

    • Facility treasurer

    Correct Answer
    A. The administrator
    Explanation
    The administrator is responsible for ensuring that the business office runs smoothly. They oversee and manage the day-to-day operations, coordinate with staff members, and make decisions to maintain efficiency and effectiveness. They play a crucial role in maintaining the overall functioning of the business office and ensuring that all tasks and responsibilities are carried out smoothly.

    Rate this question:

  • 18. 

    Upon discovering that the new accountant had set the actual purchase price paid (e.g., no tax, delivery, or similar costs) for the assets to be depreciated, the facility administrator would normally feel the accountant was ___.

    • Sharp and on the ball

    • Not serving the facility well

    • Overestimating historical costs

    • Doing OK, all things considered

    Correct Answer
    A. Not serving the facility well
    Explanation
    The facility administrator would normally feel that the accountant was not serving the facility well because by setting the actual purchase price without considering additional costs such as tax, delivery, or similar costs, the accountant is not accurately reflecting the true value of the assets. This could lead to incorrect depreciation calculations and potentially impact the facility's financial records and reporting.

    Rate this question:

  • 19. 

    The frozen food contractor arrives, places the order in the freezer, checks off the receiving slip, hands it to the appropriate kitchen employee who thanks the contractor, and hands the receiving slip and purchase order copy to the director of food services.  The administrator, on observing this, should ___.

    • Be pleased with the smoothness of the working relationship

    • Compliment the contractor for an efficient delivery

    • Be upset

    • Continue to enjoy his/her cup of coffee

    Correct Answer
    A. Be upset
    Explanation
    The administrator should be upset because the contractor did not follow the correct procedure of delivering the order to the director of food services. The contractor handed the receiving slip to a kitchen employee instead of directly giving it to the director. This breaks the established protocol and could lead to confusion or errors in the future.

    Rate this question:

  • 20. 

    Payroll deductions are subtracted from ___ to arrive at the employee's ___ pay.

    • Net/gross

    • Total/net

    • Gross/net

    • Overall/take-home

    Correct Answer
    A. Gross/net
    Explanation
    Payroll deductions are subtracted from the gross pay to arrive at the employee's net pay. Gross pay refers to the total amount of wages or salary earned by an employee before any deductions are taken out. Net pay, on the other hand, is the amount of money that an employee takes home after all deductions, such as taxes, insurance premiums, and retirement contributions, have been subtracted from their gross pay. Therefore, the correct answer is Gross/net.

    Rate this question:

  • 21. 

    The primary purpose of the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles is to ____.

    • Guarantee honesty among providers

    • Maximize comparability of financial statements of different organizations

    • Create a single view among financial managers

    • Protect the owners

    Correct Answer
    A. Maximize comparability of financial statements of different organizations
    Explanation
    The primary purpose of the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) is to maximize comparability of financial statements of different organizations. GAAP provides a set of standard guidelines and principles that ensure consistency and uniformity in financial reporting. This allows for easier comparison of financial statements between different organizations, enabling stakeholders to make informed decisions and analyze the financial performance of companies more effectively. By promoting comparability, GAAP enhances transparency and trust in financial reporting, benefiting investors, creditors, and other users of financial statements.

    Rate this question:

  • 22. 

    At the end of a time period, when debits do not match credits exactly, the accountant can first assume an error has been made in ___.

    • Recording transactions

    • Entering debits

    • Entering credits

    • Source documents

    Correct Answer
    A. Recording transactions
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Recording transactions" because if the debits and credits do not match exactly at the end of a time period, it suggests that there may have been errors in the recording of transactions. This could mean that some transactions were not recorded at all, or that they were recorded incorrectly, resulting in an imbalance between debits and credits. By assuming an error in recording transactions, the accountant can then investigate and correct any mistakes that may have occurred.

    Rate this question:

  • 23. 

    The GAAPS's do not normally require financial statements prepared for general distribution to include ____.

    • Income statement, or profit/loss statement

    • Balance sheet, or statement of financial position

    • Statement of changes in financial position

    • Chart of accounts

    Correct Answer
    A. Chart of accounts
    Explanation
    The GAAPs, or Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, provide guidelines for financial reporting. One of the main components of financial statements is the chart of accounts, which lists all the accounts used by a company to record its financial transactions. However, the GAAPs do not require financial statements prepared for general distribution to include the chart of accounts. The chart of accounts is typically used internally by the company's accounting department and may not be relevant or necessary for external users of the financial statements.

    Rate this question:

  • 24. 

    A financial statement in which the assets must equal the liability and capital accounts is known as the ____.

    • Ending statement

    • Final statement

    • Balance sheet

    • Financial statement

    Correct Answer
    A. Balance sheet
    Explanation
    A balance sheet is a financial statement that presents a company's financial position at a specific point in time. It shows the company's assets (what it owns), liabilities (what it owes), and capital accounts (the owner's equity or investment in the business). The balance sheet follows the fundamental accounting equation, which states that assets must equal liabilities plus capital. Therefore, a balance sheet is the correct answer as it accurately describes a financial statement where the assets must equal the liability and capital accounts.

    Rate this question:

  • 25. 

    Funds that have been put into the facility by owners or others, and retained earnings that have been put back into the facility are usually included when calculating the ____.

    • Net worth

    • Bottom line

    • Final value

    • Financial liabilities

    Correct Answer
    A. Net worth
    Explanation
    When calculating net worth, funds that have been invested into the facility by owners or others, as well as retained earnings that have been reinvested into the facility, are typically included. Net worth represents the total value of assets minus liabilities and reflects the overall financial health and value of the facility.

    Rate this question:

  • 26. 

    When asked whether funds are readily available for a $75,000 purchase and the accountant responds that the net worth is well over $800,000 and to go ahead with the purchase, the administrator should ____.

    • Ask for a statement of working capital

    • Make the purchase

    • Seek a vertical analysis

    • Amortize the purchase

    Correct Answer
    A. Ask for a statement of working capital
    Explanation
    The correct answer is to ask for a statement of working capital. This is because the accountant's response of stating the net worth does not provide information about the liquidity or availability of funds for the specific purchase. By asking for a statement of working capital, the administrator can assess the current assets and liabilities of the organization to determine if there are sufficient funds for the purchase without jeopardizing the financial stability of the company.

    Rate this question:

  • 27. 

    A facility has current assets of $403,898 and current liabilities of $367,000.  Its current ratio is ____.

    • 9

    • 3

    • 1.1

    • 2.1

    Correct Answer
    A. 1.1
    Explanation
    The current ratio is calculated by dividing current assets by current liabilities. In this case, the current assets are $403,898 and the current liabilities are $367,000. Dividing these two values gives us a current ratio of approximately 1.1. This means that the facility has $1.10 in current assets for every $1.00 in current liabilities.

    Rate this question:

  • 28. 

    Medical supplies, food supplies, and postage for billing residents are ___ costs.

    • Fixed

    • Variable

    • Semi-variable

    • Break-even

    Correct Answer
    A. Variable
    Explanation
    Medical supplies, food supplies, and postage for billing residents are considered variable costs because they can vary in direct proportion to the number of residents or patients being served. These costs will increase or decrease as the volume of services provided changes. For example, if the number of residents increases, the amount of medical supplies and food supplies needed will also increase. Similarly, the postage required for billing residents will vary based on the number of bills sent out. Therefore, these costs are variable and not fixed or semi-variable.

    Rate this question:

  • 29. 

    The administrator seeks to be licensed without having to meet all the conditions new entrants would have to meet.  She seeks to be ___.

    • Grandfathered

    • Granted concessions

    • Avoiding current requirements

    • Advancing herself

    Correct Answer
    A. Grandfathered
    Explanation
    The term "grandfathered" refers to a situation where an individual is exempted from certain requirements or conditions that new entrants would have to meet. In this case, the administrator wants to be licensed without having to fulfill all the conditions that new entrants are required to meet. Therefore, the correct answer is "grandfathered."

    Rate this question:

  • 30. 

    Things owed by the facility, its obligations, are normally referred to as ____.

    • Capital

    • Unpaid bills

    • Invoices

    • Liabilities

    Correct Answer
    A. Liabilities
    Explanation
    Liabilities are the things owed by a facility, such as debts, obligations, or financial responsibilities. This can include unpaid bills, invoices, loans, or any other financial commitments that the facility needs to fulfill. Liabilities are an important aspect of a facility's financial health and are typically recorded on the balance sheet.

    Rate this question:

  • 31. 

    The new accountant informs the administrator that to simplify things, he has incorporated all purchases that will be paid for the next few years into the accounts payable journal.  The administrator should ____.

    • Compliment the accountant

    • Ask for last year's books to be conformed to the new system

    • Begin a search for a new accountant

    • As that these purchases be transferred to the general journal

    Correct Answer
    A. Begin a search for a new accountant
    Explanation
    The new accountant's action of incorporating all purchases that will be paid for the next few years into the accounts payable journal indicates a lack of understanding of proper accounting practices. This action can lead to inaccurate financial statements and misrepresentation of the company's financial position. Therefore, the administrator should begin a search for a new accountant who has a better understanding of accounting principles and can ensure accurate financial record-keeping.

    Rate this question:

  • 32. 

    Under double-entry bookkeeping, when a bill is sent to Ms. Jones for $3,000 for the past month's care, the bookkeeper would normally record $3,000 in the debit column as an increase in assets and ____.

    • Record $3,000 on the credit side as an increase in revenue

    • Record $3,000 as received

    • Wait for the payment before entering further data

    • Enter an estimate of when the bill will be paid

    Correct Answer
    A. Record $3,000 on the credit side as an increase in revenue
    Explanation
    When a bill is sent to Ms. Jones for $3,000 for the past month's care, the bookkeeper would normally record $3,000 on the credit side as an increase in revenue. This is because revenue is recorded on the credit side in double-entry bookkeeping to reflect an increase in income or earnings. By recording the $3,000 as revenue, the bookkeeper acknowledges the amount earned from providing care to Ms. Jones and properly reflects it in the financial records.

    Rate this question:

  • 33. 

    At the end of a time period, total expenses are subtracted from total revenues to compute the ____.

    • Net income, or profit or loss

    • Approximate income

    • Adjusted income margin

    • Operating income

    Correct Answer
    A. Net income, or profit or loss
    Explanation
    At the end of a time period, the calculation of net income, or profit or loss, involves subtracting total expenses from total revenues. This calculation helps determine the overall financial performance of a business during that period. Net income represents the amount of money that remains after all expenses have been deducted from revenues, indicating whether the company has made a profit or incurred a loss.

    Rate this question:

  • 34. 

    At the end of each year for facilities participating in Medicare, a Medicare Cost Reconciliation settlement occurs in which ___.

    • The facility receives additional money

    • The facility pays out additional money

    • The facility receives or pays back money

    • A flat rate per patient per month is paid the facility

    Correct Answer
    A. The facility receives or pays back money
    Explanation
    At the end of each year for facilities participating in Medicare, a Medicare Cost Reconciliation settlement occurs. This means that the facility may either receive money or have to pay back money to Medicare, depending on the financial calculations and adjustments made during the reconciliation process. The settlement aims to ensure that the facility is appropriately reimbursed for the services provided to Medicare patients, taking into account any overpayments or underpayments that may have occurred throughout the year.

    Rate this question:

  • 35. 

    Perhaps the only way to maintain an accurate count of supplies consumed and those remaining is to use ___.

    • A computer program

    • A hand-counted inventory system

    • A receipt inventory system

    • A perpetual inventory system

    Correct Answer
    A. A perpetual inventory system
    Explanation
    A perpetual inventory system is the best way to maintain an accurate count of supplies consumed and those remaining because it continuously updates inventory records in real-time. This system uses computer software to track and monitor inventory levels, automatically adjusting quantities as items are bought or sold. It eliminates the need for manual counting and provides accurate and up-to-date information about stock levels, allowing businesses to make informed decisions about purchasing and restocking.

    Rate this question:

  • 36. 

    In a facility having high fixed costs, the pressure to keep beds filled is ___ in facilities with low fixed costs.

    • About the same

    • Stronger than

    • Weaker than

    • More moderate than

    Correct Answer
    A. Stronger than
    Explanation
    In a facility with high fixed costs, there is a greater need to keep beds filled in order to generate enough revenue to cover those costs. This pressure is stronger in comparison to facilities with low fixed costs, where the financial impact of empty beds may not be as significant. Therefore, the correct answer is "Stronger than."

    Rate this question:

  • 37. 

    The accountant has listed the new building annex, the new central air conditioning system, and the supplies for the next 6 months as capital expenses.  The administrator should.

    • Be pleased with the decision

    • Forward the report to corporate headquarters

    • Rewrite the report

    • Look for a new accountant

    Correct Answer
    A. Look for a new accountant
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Look for a new accountant." The reason for this is that capital expenses are typically long-term investments that benefit the company over a period of time, such as the new building annex. However, the central air conditioning system and supplies for the next 6 months are not considered capital expenses as they are short-term in nature and do not provide long-term benefits. Therefore, the accountant has made an error in categorizing these items as capital expenses, indicating a lack of understanding or knowledge in accounting principles. Hence, the administrator should consider finding a new accountant who has a better understanding of accounting principles.

    Rate this question:

  • 38. 

    Assets that can be capitalized or depreciated differ from other assets of a facility in that they are used in operations for more than ___ and will not be converted into ___ within the year.

    • One time period/cash

    • Two time periods/debt

    • A balance sheet period/securities

    • 3 years/cash

    Correct Answer
    A. One time period/cash
    Explanation
    Assets that can be capitalized or depreciated differ from other assets of a facility in that they are used in operations for more than one time period and will not be converted into cash within the year.

    Rate this question:

  • 39. 

    Generating reports on the financial standing of the nursing facility is generally assigned to ____.

    • The accountant

    • The director of financial

    • The administrative assistant

    • The chief financial officer (CFO)

    Correct Answer
    A. The accountant
    Explanation
    The accountant is responsible for generating reports on the financial standing of the nursing facility. As a financial professional, the accountant has the necessary skills and knowledge to compile and analyze financial data, prepare financial statements, and generate reports that provide an accurate and comprehensive overview of the facility's financial performance. This role requires expertise in accounting principles, financial analysis, and report preparation, making the accountant the most suitable person for this task. The director of financial, administrative assistant, and chief financial officer may have other responsibilities related to financial management but are not specifically assigned to generate reports.

    Rate this question:

  • 40. 

    Allowing the bookkeeper to destroy vouchers showing payments made for meals to employees once these are recorded may violate the ___ concept.

    • Objective evidence

    • Consistency

    • Time period

    • Entity

    Correct Answer
    A. Objective evidence
    Explanation
    Allowing the bookkeeper to destroy vouchers showing payments made for meals to employees once these are recorded may violate the objective evidence concept. This concept requires that financial transactions be supported by verifiable and reliable documentation. By destroying the vouchers, there would be no tangible evidence to support the payments made for meals to employees, which could lead to a lack of transparency and accuracy in the financial records.

    Rate this question:

    When an administrator notes that there are $600,000 in notes payable on the financial reports, she knows these must be paid within ____.

    • 6 months

    • 1 year

    • 1 month

    • 90 days

    Correct Answer
    A. 1 year
    Explanation
    The administrator notes that there are $600,000 in notes payable on the financial reports. Notes payable are a type of short-term liability that a company owes to its creditors. They represent the amount of money that the company needs to repay within a specific period. In this case, since the administrator knows that the notes payable are $600,000, it indicates that these debts must be paid within a longer time frame. The only option that aligns with this is 1 year, as it represents a longer period compared to the other options provided (6 months, 1 month, and 90 days).

    The administrator wishes to lease a building and acquire substantial property rights in the process.  She seeks ___.

    • A leasehold

    • A long-term lease

    • A capital lease

    • Refinancing

    Correct Answer

A capital lease is a type of lease agreement that gives the lessee (in this case, the administrator) ownership rights and responsibilities similar to those of a property owner. This means that the administrator would have control over the property and would be responsible for maintenance, insurance, and taxes, just like a property owner.

    Directing the accountant to move from a January 1 date to a June 30 fiscal year date in order to minimize the negative image possibly created by an anticipated loss violates the ____ concept.

    • Ongoing concern

    • Time period

    • Conservation

    • Entity

    Correct Answer
    A. Time period
    Explanation
    The concept of time period in accounting refers to the practice of dividing the financial information into specific periods, such as months, quarters, or years, in order to provide timely and relevant information to users. In this scenario, directing the accountant to change the fiscal year from January 1 to June 30 is a violation of the time period concept because it disrupts the consistency and comparability of financial information. This change may be aimed at minimizing the negative image caused by an anticipated loss, but it compromises the accuracy and reliability of financial reporting.

    Using several differing depreciation schedules for a single piece of equipment is ___ as an accounting behavior.

    • Unacceptable

    • Quite acceptable

    • Risky

    • Illegal

    Correct Answer
    A. Quite acceptable
    Explanation
    Using several differing depreciation schedules for a single piece of equipment is quite acceptable as an accounting behavior. This is because different depreciation schedules can be used based on the specific circumstances of the equipment, such as its expected useful life, salvage value, and method of depreciation. It allows for a more accurate reflection of the asset's value over time and aligns with the principle of matching expenses with revenues. As long as these schedules are applied consistently and in accordance with accounting standards, it is considered acceptable practice.

    Correct Answer
    A. Letter of credit
    Explanation

It assures the seller that the bank will pay them the specified amount if the buyer fails to fulfill their payment obligations. In this scenario, the administrator is requesting a document from the bank stating that they have granted the holder a credit amount equal to the face value, indicating the need for a letter of credit.

    • An asset

    • Land

    • A specified purchase

    Correct Answer
