Verified step by step guidance

Understand the concept of a business opportunity in accounting: A business opportunity refers to a situation or condition that has the potential to generate future economic benefits for an entity.

Analyze the options provided in the question: Evaluate each statement to determine its alignment with the definition of a business opportunity.

Option 1: 'It involves the potential to generate future economic benefits.' This aligns with the definition of a business opportunity, as it focuses on the potential for future benefits.

Option 2: 'It is only relevant for governmental accounting.' This is incorrect because business opportunities are relevant across all types of accounting, not just governmental accounting.

Option 3 and 4: 'It must be reported as an expense in the income statement' and 'It is always recorded as a liability on the balance sheet.' These are incorrect because a business opportunity is not inherently an expense or liability; it represents potential benefits, not obligations or costs.
