    The service revenue for the year under accrual basis is $3270.

    The Seashore Home currently uses the cash basis system to record sales which require Seashore to record only the sales that have been paid for. The other method to record transactions is using the accrual basis. The accrual basis requires an entity to record revenues and expenses in the period in which they occured and are relevant to. Thus under accrual basis, sales made in a year, whether cash or credit, will be recorded as sales for that year.

    Service revenue = 1460 + 1810 = $3270
