Answer to Question 1

B
Explanation: B) Gross margin method of indirect proof is generally limited to retail establishments rather than illegal businesses.

Answer to Question 2

Missing and hard to find information includes such intangibles as employee relations with management, the morale and efficiency of employees, the reputation of the firm with its customers, the firm's prestige in the community, the effectiveness of management, provisions for management succession, and potential exposure to changes in regulationssuch as environmental or food and drug enforcement. Much information is available in the notes to the financial statements, but may be difficult for the user to find and analyze. Complicated financing schemes, while revealed in the notes, may be impossible for many users to understand without an extensive background in accounting.
