Under Cash Basis all transactions for which cash is exchanged whether paid or received is accounted for.

Sales Revenue = $6,650

Customer Deposits = $4,550

Total Revenue = $11,200

Less: Expenses:

Wages = ($700)

Net Income = $10,500

Under Accrual basis, the transactions are recorded as to the period they relate, and it is not necessary to exchange cash for the same.

Accrual Basis Income Statement

Sales Revenue = $12,050

Total Revenue = $12,050

Expenses

Wages = ($700)
