Which of the following is considered to be an advantage of using both nonfinancial and financial information in the balanced scorecard?

Nonfinancial information is most helpful in analyzing a company's past performance, while financial information is most useful in evaluating potential future performance.

Nonfinancial information provides the short-term perspective while financial information provides the long-term perspective of performance.

Nonfinancial information reflects the company's current and potential competitive advantage, while financial information tends to focus on a firm's achieved financial performance.

Nonfinancial information should be included with financial information because it is more reliable than financial information.
