Which option can be used for quarter distributions on a 13-month time period calendar when creating a Financial Consolidation and Close Cloud (FCCS) application?

• A. 3-3-3-3
• B. 3-3-3-4
• C. 4-4-4-4
• D. 4-4-4-5

Answer: (B)

A 13-month calendar has 13 months in a year, so the four quarters must add up to 13 months. The only quarter distribution that totals 13 is three months in each of three quarters and four months in the remaining quarter. In other words, 3-3-3-4 correctly represents how the extra month is allocated within the quarterly structure. The other patterns would sum to 12, 16, or 17 months, which don’t match a 13-month year and wouldn’t align with how quarters are defined in FCCS for this calendar.
