Answer to Question 2

B
Explanation: B) A forecast reflects expected conditions, based on current knowledge of trends in relevant factors. Because current knowledge is short-lived in today's business environment, forecast periods are typically short. In contrast, a projection reflects conditions that may occur, given the realization of one or more hypothetical assumptions regarding certain factors. Given their hypothetical nature, projections can be made several years into the future.
