Show answer
Answer: B. To provide goods or services to satisfy customer needs

Show answer
Answer: C. Gross Profit
Gross Profit is calculated as Revenue minus the Cost of Goods Sold. It represents the profit a company makes after deducting the direct costs associated with producing and selling its products. Net profit considers all expenses, revenue is total income, and operating expenses are specific costs of running the business.

In accounting, the 'going concern' assumption implies that:
- The business will cease operations in the near future
- The business will continue to operate for the foreseeable future
- The business will only operate for a limited period
- The business's assets are valued at their liquidation price
Show answer
Answer: B. The business will continue to operate for the foreseeable future
The Going Concern Assumption is a fundamental principle in accounting, assuming that a business will continue to operate and meet its obligations for the foreseeable future, rather than being liquidated.
The accounting convention that states that expenses should be recorded in the same period as the revenues they helped to generate is known as:
- Cost principle
- Matching principle
- Conservatism principle
