Choice "d" is correct. The FASB conceptual framework states that the objectives of financial reporting stem from the informational needs of the external users of the information. SFAC 1 para. 28 Choice "a" is incorrect. Generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) are derived from and based on the objectives of financial reporting, not the other way around. Choice "b" is incorrect. Information concerning management's stewardship is only one aspect of the information financial statements are intended to provide. SFAC 1 para. 50 Choice "c" is incorrect. Conservatism is an underlying concept for financial accounting but is not the basis for the objectives. SFAC 2 para. 91-97

According to the FASB conceptual framework, which of the following attributes would not be used to measure inventory?
Choice "d" is correct. The present value of future cash flows is used to measure long-term receivables or payables, not inventory, because inventory is a short-term asset, which has more immediate cash flows. SFAC 5 para. 67Choice "a" is incorrect. Historical cost can be used to measure inventory because it is a relevant and reliable measurement attribute of current assets such as inventory. Choice "b" is incorrect. Replacement (or current) cost can be used to measure inventory because it is a relevant and reliable measurement attribute of current assets such as inventory. Choice "c" is incorrect. Net realizable value can be used to measure inventory because it is a relevant and reliable measurement attribute of current assets such as inventory.
According to the FASB conceptual framework, which of the following situations violates the concept of reliability?
Choice "d" is correct. Management's estimate of market value lacks verifiability, which is a component of reliability. SFAC 2 para. 89Choice "a" is incorrect. Communicating data on segments to analysts does not violate the concept of reliability.Choice "b" is incorrect. Issuing financial statements nine months late violates timeliness, which is a component of relevance, not reliability. SFAC 2 para. 56 Choice "c" is incorrect. Neglecting to report results of new projects violates full disclosure, not reliability.

Choice "a" is incorrect. AICPA Statements of Position, AICPA Accounting and Auditing Guides, and FASB Technical Bulletins are secondary sources of generally accepted accounting principles. Choice "b" is incorrect. AICPA Statements of Position, AICPA Accounting and Auditing Guides, and FASB Technical Bulletins are secondary sources of generally accepted accounting principles. Choice "c" is incorrect. AICPA Issues Papers and Practice Bulletins, FASB Concepts Statements, and other authoritative pronouncements are tertiary sources for generally accepted accounting principles.
