Answer 1:

Correct choice is: on

Type 1 subsequent events involve events that existed on the balance sheet date.

Explanation:

By definition Type 1 subsequent events are events that existed at the financial statement date. As such other options after, between, close to, near are incorrect. However, option 'before' is also correct. But between options 'before' and 'on', option 'on' is more appropriate.
