Correct Answer:
A. A fiscal calendar can be used by multiple subsidiaries; B. Periods are created separately for each fiscal calendar
Explanation

NetSuite’s Multiple Fiscal Calendars feature lets you associate one fiscal calendar with several subsidiaries in the same accounting book. Each calendar keeps its own independent table of accounting periods; therefore, periods must be generated separately for every fiscal calendar and are never shared between calendars.

Why Incorrect

C. Periods are calendar-specific; NetSuite explicitly states they “are not shared across fiscal calendars.”
D. A subsidiary can use more than one fiscal calendar only when Multi-Book Accounting is enabled; without Multi-Book, it is limited to a single calendar.
