3. C. The best answer is to choose the accounting treatment that best matches recognition, measurement, presentation, and reporting principles for the NFP contributions scenario.
4. D. Rely on informal custom instead of the applicable rule, control, or standard.

Correct Answer

C. The best answer is to choose the accounting treatment that best matches recognition, measurement, presentation, and reporting principles for the NFP contributions scenario.

Explanation
