Ans:B.
Depreciation methods are an example of a difference that may require an analyst to adjust financial statements to make them comparable. Acquisition goodwill is treated the same way under IFRS and U.S.GAAP: it is not amortized but is tested for impairment at least annually. Securities held for trading are reported at fair value with unrealized gains and losses reported on the income statement.
