Solution
The correct option is B Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion. The matching principle, as a part of accrual accounting, requires that expenses be recognized when obligations are:
(1) incurred (usually when goods are transferred or services rendered), and
(2) that they offset recognized revenues, which were generated from those expenses.
