Explanation / Answer
Under Accrual accounting: We record transactions when they are earned and corresponding expenses are matched.
Year 2013:
Money collected for the year: 540,000 + (46000-38000)= 548,000
Payment: 372,000 + (37000-29000)= 380,000
Admin Cost: 158,000
Cost of goods sold: 52000-42000= 10,000
Income statement=
Revenues- expenses
= 548,000 - (380,000+158,000+10,000) =0
No profit No loss for this year
