Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below;

But before reaching to the final answers, first do the following calculations

Cash collected $108000

Add Services performed in 2017(not collected) $36000

less Services performed in 2016(collected in 2017) $25000

Revenue for 2017 $119,000

Cash paid in 2017 $72,000

Add Expense incurred not yet paid for 2017 $42000

Less Expense paid for 2016 -$30000

Expense for 2016 $84000

Now

a. Cash basis  

Revenue $108000

Less Expenses -$72,000

Net income $36000

b. Accrual basis
