1Which accounting assumption requires that a business's financial transactions and records be kept completely separate from the personal financial affairs of its owner?
A.Entity Assumption
B.Going Concern Assumption
C.Period Assumption
D.Accrual Basis Assumption

A.Period Assumption
B.Going Concern Assumption
C.Monetary Unit Assumption
D.Accrual Basis Assumption
Explanation: The Going Concern Assumption presumes that the business will continue operating in its present form into the foreseeable future. This assumption justifies recording non-current assets at historical cost less accumulated depreciation rather than current liquidation value.
3A business owner prepares financial reports at regular 12-month intervals ending 30 June each year to evaluate annual performance. Which accounting assumption mandates dividing the business's continuous life into defined timeframes?
A.Period Assumption
B.Entity Assumption
C.Going Concern Assumption
D.Historical Cost Assumption
Explanation: The Period Assumption requires that reports be prepared for defined, regular time periods (e.g. quarterly or annually) so that profit and financial position can be evaluated and compared over time.

A.When cash is collected from the customer
B.When goods are delivered and revenue is earned

A.Faithful Representation
B.Comparability
C.Understandability
