Answer:

$5,000

Explanation:

Under the accrual accounting method, revenue is recognized and recorded in the books once the recognition criteria is met i.e once the goods or service has been delivered.

Under this system as well expenses are recorded once incurred.

As such, the time of cash payment does not affect the recognition of revenue. When revenue is earned and cash is yet to be paid, the entries required are debit accounts receivable and credit revenue.

On payment of cash, the entries are posted between cash and accounts receivables.
