Referring to the above and using the accrual basis of accounting, what should Apple, record as sales for the year ending 12/04?
Answer:
$196,000
Explanation:
a.
Total cash receipts = $12,000
Given, it was for a project for the last two weeks of December and the first week of January.
:. Revenue for December ( current year ) = $12,000* 2/3
= $8,000.
Therefore, revenue of next year to be exclued as per accrual basis = $4000.
b.
Accounts receivable$10,000 is for the work done in November. It isn't received but the work is done. As per accrual basis , it should be included.
Therefore , as per accrual basis Apple should record it's sale for the year ending 12/04 $196,000. [ $200,000 - $4000 ]
