Answer 1

Cash receipts $400,000 Cash payments $300,000 Balance 12/31/18 Balance 12/31/19 Other information: Accounts receivable 105,000 85,000 Unearned revenue 35,000 10,000 Accrued expenses 220,000 199,000 Prepaid expenses 22,000 27,000 Accumulated depreciation 100,000 130,000

Accrued basis revenue = Cash receipts - Accounts receivable, beginning + Accounts receivable, ending + Unearned revenue beginning -Unearned revenue ending

= 400,000-105,000+85,000+25,000-10,000

= $395,000

Accrual basis expenses = Cash payments - Accrued expenses, beginning + Accrued expenses, ending + Prepaid expenses, beginning - Prepaid expenses, ending+ Depreciation expense

= 300,000-220,000+199,000+22,000-27,000+30,000

= $304,000

Accrued basis net income = Accrued basis revenue- Accrual basis expenses

= 395,000-304,000

= $91,000
