• 1. and 3.

Answer 1

1. and 3.

Explanation:

• Statement 1: The Entity Concept treats a business as a separate legal and economic entity. As a result, the firm's financial transactions must be recorded and reported separately from the owner's own personal affairs.
• Statement 3: The owner and the firm are recognised as separate entities; any cash or products withdrawn by the owner for personal use cannot be claimed as a company expense. Instead, it must be reported as a draw, which lowers the owner’s capital account in the business books.
