Answer to Question 1

D
An unsolicited report is the type of informative report that Garry has prepared. An unsolicited
report is, quite simply, one that you make on your own initiative rather than one you are asked
to prepare or a periodic report that you are expected to prepare at regular intervals.

Answer to Question 2

C
A report that is prepared weekly to provide details about the number of product units
manufactured is an example of a periodic report. A periodic report is prepared at regular
intervals, for example, weekly, monthly, or quarterly. Any report prepared at specified intervals
is considered a periodic report.
