  1. Advertising and similar costs expensed in one interim period may benefit other interim periods in the same annual period.
  2. Cost of goods sold for an interim period reflects only the amount of product cost applicable to sales revenue recognized in the interim period.
  3. Depreciation for an interim period represents an estimate.
  4. An extraordinary loss occurring in the second quarter must be prorated over the last three interim periods of the year.

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

Costs and expenses other than product costs should be either charged to income in interim periods as incurred or allocated among interim periods based upon the benefits received. Accordingly costs such as advertising should be deferred in an interim period if the benefits extend beyond that period; otherwise, they should expensed as incurred. But such a determination is difficult, and deferral raises the additional issue of how the deferred costs should be allocated among quarters. Thus, many entities expense the costs as incurred even though they may benefit other interim periods in the same annual period.
