Hmm, the expenditures method sounds like the way to go. I bet the suspect's spending habits will give them away faster than a speeding bullet. Pow!

The asset method, huh? I guess they want us to go all Sherlock Holmes on this one and trace the suspect's hidden assets. Good luck with that!

B) The consumables method? Seriously? That's not even a real thing. I'm starting to doubt the credibility of this exam.

The expenditures method seems like the way to go here. If the suspect is spending a lot on travel and entertainment, that's a clear indication of illicit income.
