Most likely what? What are the answer choices?
Answer:
a) Calculate the first year’s net earnings under the cash basis of accounting, and accrual basis of accounting.
cash basis accrual basis
total revenue $23,900 $31,600
operating expenses $12,010 $16,100
<u>prepaid insurance $2,690 </u>
net earnings $9,200 $15,500
b) the accrual basis always provides more useful information because transactions are recorded when they actually occur, not when cash flows (collections or payments) are directly associated to them. This is why the IRS only allows cash basis accounting for certain small businesses or sole proprietorships.
