Answer:

$2.835 in March and $0 in May.

Step-by-step explanation:

As per the data given in the question,

The actual method of accounting is that the revenue is not recognized in the period when the actual cash is received but the period in which it is earned.Hence, May-31 income statement will not recognize any part of revenue and March-31 income statement will recognize the whole revenue of $2.835 million.

Hence, $2.835 in March and $0 in May.
