Xavier · Answer 1

a. $32,300

b. $32,900

Explanation:

The computation of given question is shown below:

a. Cash basis net income is

= Collection from customers - Paid expenses

= $104,000 - $71,700

= $32,300

b. Accrual-basis net income

= Service Performed - Incurred Expenses

where,

Service performed is

= $104,000 - $25,500 + $38,600

= $117,100

And, the expenses incurred is

= $71,700 - $30,400 + $42,900

= $84,200

So, the net income under accrual basis is

= $117,100 - $84,200

= $32,900
