C)Balance sheet accounts are considered temporary accounts and these accounts have balances that are carried forward from year to year.
D)Profit and Loss accounts are considered permanent accounts and these accounts have balances that are closed each year.

Balance sheet accounts are considered permanent accounts because their balances are carried forward from year to year rather than being closed at the end of each year, as in the case of temporary accounts. Temporary accounts include those accounts that are used to record revenue, expenses, gains, and losses, and their balances are closed at the end of each accounting period. Profit and Loss accounts are temporary accounts, not permanent accounts.

Accepted Answer

The primary objective of accounting is to provide information for decision making, and QBO assists in achieving this objective by capturing, tracking, summarizing, and communicating financial information. This answer aligns with the general purpose of accounting, which is to provide useful financial information to users for decision making purposes. The other options are not accurate. Accounting serves more than just tax return preparation or legal entity organization, and QBO is not used solely for tax preparation or ensuring the correct tax form is used. Finally, while providing information to external users is an important function of accounting, it is not the primary objective.
