Answer:

The answer is 3. accrual basis net income

Step-by-step explanation:

Accrual basis is the effects of transactions on a reporting entity's economic resources in the period in which those transactions occur, even if the resulting cash receipt and payment occur in a different time.

The $1,500 will be recorded in the month of May

Cash basis recognizes transactions in the period in which cash receipts and payment occur. This can be found in government account.

Option 1 is not correct because this is not a basis in preparing financial statement
