Answer:
Correct option is (c)
Explanation:
An accountant will record only those cost in the financial statements that have incurred on account of carrying out the business.
In this case, option (a) and (b) are opportunity cost of carrying out shoe shine business. These are the income that John could have earned if he did not start shoe-shine business.
Cost of shoe polish is an operating expense incurred to run his shoe-shine business. So this cost will be included by the accountant in the financial statements.
