Accountıng I Deneme Sınavı Sorusu #1313816
"Companies should use the same accounting methods and procedures in each accounting period ......." Which of the following appropriately completes the statement above?
as businesses prefer to use the same accounting methods and procedures from period to period |
so that companies are able to purchase their inventories at a higher cost in the second year |
because companies making investment analyze the invested companies’ net |
so that the information provided will help investors and creditors to compare a company’s financial statements from one period to the next |
as any increase in income results in huge decrease in the gross profit and operating income. |
The consistency principle holds that companies should use the same accounting methods and procedures in each accounting period, so that the information provided will help investors and creditors to compare a company’s financial statements from one period to the next. For example, assume that you are analyzing a company’s net income over a two-year period in which there was a decrease in net income from the first year to the second. Analysis of the income statement shows that Sales Revenue was almost the same for both years, but Cost of Goods Sold increased significantly, which resulted in decreases in gross profit and operating income. D is the right answer.
