  1. realization / matching
  2. realization / initial-recording
  3. capitalization / matching
  4. capitalization / initial-recording

  2. Spread the payment of sales force commissions over the premium paying period of healthcare coverage
  3. Report the fees paid by the health plan to attorneys and consultants
  4. Depreciate the cost of a new computer system over the useful life of the system

  4. Prohibits Zane from making adjusting entries to its accounting records at the end of each accounting year
