【Answer to question 1】C

【analysis】

C is correct. Scenario analysis shows the changes in key financial quantities that result from given economic events, such as the loss of customers or a catastrophic event. A is incorrect. Sensitivity analysis, also known as “what if” analysis, shows the range of possible outcomes as specific assumptions are changed. B is incorrect. Simulation is a computer-generated sensitivity or scenario analysis based on probability models for the factors that drive outcomes

【Answer to question 2】A

A is correct. High financial reporting quality provides useful information to decision makers. Since foreign exchange gains and losses may not recur, they should be disclosed separately and not included in cost of goods sold. B is incorrect. Long-term leases for customized pieces of equipment should be reported as finance leases and conforms to IFRS, therefore this is not low quality reporting. C is incorrect. If properly disclosed, an increase in EPS from the sale of a subsidiary does not represent low quality financial reporting, but it may be low quality earnings
