　　C. An accounting change that should be reported in the period of change and future periods if the change affects both.
　　D. A correction of an error.
　　Answer:
　　1.A
　　A is corrent because comparing control and remittance totals is one of the activities involved in processing cash receipts. The requirement is to identify the task that would be included in a document flowchart for processing cash receipts.
　　B,C,D is incorrect because it is an activity that is not part of processing cash receipts.
　　2.B
　　Choice "B" is correct. Establishment of a company-wide uniform chart of accounts would most likely be a related reporting objective. Uniform charts of accounts would promote more efficient reporting.
　　Choice "a" is incorrect. Strategic objectives are generally less operationally specific than the related objective contemplated by the uniform chart of accounts.
　　Choice "d" is incorrect. A uniform chart of accounts is a related reporting objective, not an operations objective.
　　Choice "c" is incorrect. A uniform chart of accounts is a related reporting objective, not a compliance objective.
　　3.D
　　D is corrent. The requirement is to identify the type of damages that may be recovered. D is corrent because liquidated damages are those agreed to in a contract to set the amount of damages in the event of breach of contract.
　　A is incorrect because the liquidated damages set the amount of the compensatory damages for the type of breach that occurred.
　　B is incorrect because there was a breach of contract with respect to completion date.
　　C is incorrect because punitive damages are generally not allowed in contract law.
　　4.C
　　C is corrent. ASC Topic 250 states that a change in the periods benefited by a deferred cost should be treated as a change in accounting estimate. Changes in accounting estimates are accounted for in the period of change and future periods if the change affects both.
