Which report is a point in time report for investments?

• A. Ledger
• B. Investments
• C. Income Tax
• D. Cash Flow

Answer: (B)

A point-in-time report presents data as of a specific date, giving a fixed snapshot rather than a running narrative over time. For investments, the Investments report is designed to show your holdings as of the chosen date, including the quantities, current values, and cost basis at that moment. This makes it ideal when you want to see exactly what your portfolio looks like on a particular day, such as year-end or the date of a planning meeting. In contrast, a ledger records all transactions and balances over a period, so it reflects activity rather than a single moment. A cash flow report tracks cash moving in and out over a period, focusing on liquidity rather than the composition of investments. An income tax report aggregates figures for tax purposes, typically for a year, not a one-day snapshot of holdings.
