During 2021 the following cash flows were recorded: cash received for services rendered to clients, $420,000; and cash paid for salaries, utilities, and advertising, $240,000, $35,000, and $12,000, respectively. You also determine that customers owed the company $52,000 and $60,000 at the beginning and end of the year, respectively, and that the company owed the utility company $6,000 and $4,000 at the beginning and end of the year, respectively. Determine accrual net income for the year

Answer 1

Answer: $143,000

Explanation:

Accrual Income for the year = Cash from clients + Closing receivable balance - Opening receivable balance - Salaries - (Utilities - Opening utilities owed + closing utilities owed) - Advertising

= 420,000 + 60,000 - 52,000 - 240,000 - (35,000 - 6,000 + 4,000) - 12,000

= $143,000
