Verified step by step guidance

Step 1: Understand the question by identifying that it is asking about the five key measures commonly used to judge a company's performance. These measures are fundamental concepts in financial accounting and are used to evaluate different aspects of a company's financial health.

Step 2: Review the options provided in the question. Each option lists different financial metrics or categories. The goal is to determine which set of measures aligns with the commonly accepted key performance indicators in financial accounting.

Step 3: Recall the definitions and purposes of the five key measures: Liquidity (ability to meet short-term obligations), Profitability (ability to generate earnings), Efficiency (how well resources are utilized), Solvency (ability to meet long-term obligations), and Market Valuation (assessment of the company's value in the market). These measures are widely recognized in financial analysis.

Step 4: Compare the definitions of the five key measures to the options provided. For example, the first option lists Liquidity, Profitability, Efficiency, Solvency, and Market Valuation, which directly match the commonly accepted measures. The other options include metrics that are important but do not represent the five key measures collectively.

Step 5: Conclude that the correct answer is the first option, as it accurately lists the five key measures commonly used to judge a company's performance. This step involves understanding why the other options are not correct based on their components.
