Answer 1

Answer:

D.

Explanation:

To accrue means to grow or to accumulate over time. In accrual accounting, if the revenue recognition criteria are met in the current period, revenue will need to be accrued in the current accounting period even if cash will not been received until a later accounting period.

Accrued revenues is a type of account that require adjustment, to register the unrecorded revenues that have been earned and for which cash has not yet to be received.

The accrual journal entry to record the sale involves a debit to the accounts receivable account and a credit to sales revenue. If the sale is for cash, debit cash instead. The revenue earned will be reported as part of sales revenue in the income statement for the current accounting period.

It is the same for accrued revenue and for revenue on account.
