Solution

The correct option is A Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion.
The materiality principle states that an accounting standard can be ignored if the net impact of doing so has such a small impact on the financial statements, that a reader of the financial statements would not be misled. The materiality principle is especially important when deciding, whether a transaction should be recorded as part of the closing process, since, eliminating some transactions can significantly reduce the amount of time required to issue financial statements. Hence, the above given assertion is correct and the reason is the correct explanation for it.
