Respuesta :

Answer:

Prescribes that a company record the expenses it incurred to generate the revenue reported.

Explanation:

The matching principle is one derived from the understanding that an entity in the ordinary course of business that results in the generation of sale must have incurred some expenses.

This principle thus prescribes that a company record the expenses it incurred to generate the revenue reported in the same period ( more like matching the revenue to a recognizable cost).
