c. receives cash after the revenue has been generated.unchecked

d. receives cash before the revenue has been generated.

Adjustments are made during the end of every accounting period in order to report the revenues and the expenses in proper period at which they occur and also in order to report the assets and the liabilities at their appropriate amounts.

Deferral adjustment is when the revenue or the expense has been deferred or postponed and will therefore be reported on the income statement at a later period.

Previously deferred amounts will show on the balance sheet when a company pays cash before having to incur the expense or in a case whereby the company gets and collects cash before earning the revenue.

When revenues are made or when expenses are incurred, the previously deferred amounts will have to be adjusted and then, the amounts will be transferred to income statement through the use of the deferral adjustment.
