【Answer to question 1】B
【analysis】
B is correct. Earnings management represents deliberate actions to influence reported earnings and their interpretation. The distinction between earnings management and biased choices is subtle and, primarily, a matter of intent.
A is incorrect because aggressive accounting is a biased choice. Biased accounting choices are higher in quality than earnings management on the spectrum of GAAP conforming financial reports.
C is incorrect because conservative accounting is a biased choice. Biased accounting choices are higher in quality than earnings management on the spectrum of GAAP conforming financial reports.
【Answer to question 2】B
【analysis】
B is correct. The LIFO liquidation of low-cost inventory layers results in the transfer of low inventory costs to the income statement as costs of goods sold. With reduced costs of goods sold, reported earnings are higher.
A is incorrect. Reducing the useful lives of fixed assets results in faster depreciation, and hence higher reported depreciation expense and lower reported earnings.
C is incorrect. Increases to tax asset valuation allowances are equivalent to asset write-downs, which reduce reported earnings.
成功=時間+方法，自制力是這個等式的保障。世上無天才，高手都是來自刻苦的練習。而人們經常只看到“牛人”閃耀的成績，其成績背后無比寂寞的勤奮。小編相信，每天都在勤奮練習，即使是一點點的進步，大家一定可以成為人人稱贊的“牛人”。
