　　B. Refers to a function.
　　C. Refers to a manager with a specific title.
　　D. Must be described in the disclosures for the financial reporting for segments.
　　Answer:
　　1.C
　　C is correct because cutoff procedures applied to transactions recorded subsequent to year-end for shipping and receiving will address completeness-that is whether transactions that should have been recorded prior to year-end were so recorded.
　　A is incorrect because tracing items from tag listing to physical inventory quantities addresses existence more directly than it addresses completeness.
　　B is incorrect because scanning perpetual inventory, production, and purchasing records are likely to address assertions other than completeness since with completeness one is addressing whether inventory transactions that should have been recorded were not.
　　D is incorrect because only paid vendor invoices recorded after year-end are likely to address completeness.
　　2.A
　　Choice "A" is correct. Circuit level gateways, not packet filtering, only allow data into a network that result from requests from computers inside the network by keeping track of requests that are sent out of the network and only allowing data in that is in response to those requests. Choice "c" is incorrect. Packet filtering examines packets of data as they pass through the firewall. Packet filtering is the simplest, not the most complex, type of firewall configuration.Choice "b" is incorrect. Application level gateways examine data coming into the gateway. They can be used to control which computers in a network can access the Internet and can be used to control which Internet websites or pages can be viewed once access is allowed.Choice "d" is incorrect. Choice "A" is the best answer.
　　3.C
　　Choice "c" is correct. Alice has a realized gain of $5,000 on the transaction: $25,000 sales price less $20,000 purchase price. However, she can reduce the gain, but not below zero, by the amount of loss her father could not deduct on the sale to her. Thus, Alice can reduce her gain by up to $10,000, but not below zero. Here, the gain is $5,000, so it is reduced to zero. Conner should have sold the stock in the open market so that he could deduct the entire loss. Alice could then have purchased the stock in the open market.
　　Choice "a" is incorrect. $5,000 is Alice's realized long-term gain on the sale. However, she can reduce the gain, but not below zero, by the amount of loss her father could not deduct on the sale to her.
　　Choice "d" is incorrect. Alice has a realized gain of $5,000 on the sale. However, since she is related to Conner, her holding period includes his holding period. Therefore, her realized gain is long-term. In addition, she can reduce the gain, but not below zero, by the amount of loss her father could not deduct on the sale to her.
　　Choice "b" is incorrect. Alice can reduce the gain by the amount of loss her father could not deduct on the sale to her. However, she cannot reduce the gain below zero.
　　4.B
　　B is corrent. ASC Topic 280 does not require disclosures about the term chief operating decision maker, and specifically states that this term identifies a function, not necessarily a manager with a specific title.
