    Explanation:

    on accrual basis it will recognize based on past of time rather than cash collection and disbursements

    Accrued revenue for september sales:

    $ 192,000 contracts for 2 years

    192,000 / 24 months x 12 months standing for 2019: 96,000

    Now, we calcualte for 1 year contract:

    120,000 for a year during 2019 this will be outstanding from January 1st to September 30th 2019

    A total of 9 monhs so:

    120,000 x 9/12 = 90,000

    In total during 2019 it will recognize revenue for: 96,000 + 90,000 = 186,000
