Answer to Question 1

The two key principles are the revenue recognition and the matching principle.

The revenue recognition principlerequires that four conditions be met for a transaction to be recorded as a revenue item. The four conditions are (1) the revenues must be earned (the sale is complete), (2) the amount of the revenue must be measurable, (3) the costs of generating the revenue can be determined, and (4) the revenue must be realizable.

The matching principle requires revenues and expenses to be properly matched in the same time period. Once revenue has been recognized in an accounting period, expenses incurred to generate that revenue need to be recorded in the same accounting period. Revenues and expenses, therefore, are recorded when events take place, without regard to receipt or payment of cash.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
