Select one:
A. $302,000
B. $264,080
C. $ 41,860
D. $408,300
E. None of the above

Answer 1

A. $302,000

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the net income under accrual basis accounting is shown below:

= Billed in revenues on credit - incurred expenses

= $496,000 - $194,000

= $302,000

The prepaid expenses and the received amount would not be considered in the computation part. Hence, ignored it

Only revenues on credit and incurred expenses are considered in the computation part. No other item values would be taken.
