Question

Determine what the net income or loss Use the business transactions below to: 1. Stockholders invest $40,000 in cash in starting a real estate office operating as a corporation. 2. Purchased $500 of supplies on credit. 3. Purchased equipment for $25,000, paying $3,500 in cash and signed a 30-day, $21,500, note payable. 4. Real estate commissions billed to clients amount

Answer 1

Answer:

the question is incomplete, so I looked for a similar one:

Real estate commissions billed to clients amount to $4,000. Paid $700 in cash for the current month's rent. Paid $250 cash on account for office supplies purchased in transaction 2. Received a bill for $800 for advertising for the current month. Paid $2,500 cash for office salaries. Paid $1,200 cash dividends to stockholders. Received a check for $2,000 from a client in payment on account for commissions billed

Income statement

Service revenue                             $4,000

Operating expenses:

• Rent $700
• Advertising $800
• Office salaries $2,500         ($4,000)

Net income                                          $0

Accrual accounting recognizes both expenses and revenues when they occur, not when a cash flow is associated to them. E.g. even though only $2,000 were paid by clients, the whole $4,000 must be considered revenue.
