Which option describes the appearance of the Accounting Number Format in Excel?

• A. Percent sign (%) in the Number Format drop-down
• B. Dollar sign ($) under 'General'.
• C. Pound sign (£) in the Number Format drop-down
• D. Yen sign (¥) in the Number Format drop-down

Answer: (B)

Accounting tone is a currency-style format: it shows a currency symbol to the left of the amount, with the symbol spaced from the numbers and the numeric part aligned consistently in the column. In the English (US) setup, that symbol is the dollar sign, so you see something like $ 1,234.56 with the value anchored beside a fixed symbol area. This is described by the dollar sign ($) under General, which matches the default appearance of the Accounting format. The other options point to a percent sign or other currency symbols, which belong to different formats, not the Accounting style.
