Leonard Case · Answer 1

Dr Cash $110

Dr Accounts receivable $70

Cr Service revenue $180

Explanation:

The necessary accounting for the transaction is debit of $110 to cash account and debit of $70 to receivable while a credit of $180 is passed to service revenue account.

The amount that would be included in cash flow from operating activities is the actual cash of $110, but the whole $180 would be shown in income statement

Using the indirect method of showing net cash flows from operating activities, the entries in the cash flow would like thus:

Net income $180

Increase in working capital (accounts receivable) ($70)

Net cash flow from operating activities $110
