选项:
A.
DSO.
B.
unearned revenues.
C.
provisions for doubtful accounts.
解释:
Companies tend to reduce provisions for doubtful accounts in an effort to overstate net income in a given period, which can be a warning sign of lower quality of earnings. However, LSRC is increasing provisions for doubtful accounts, which reflects a more conservative accounting practice.
