Amount of service revenue is $ 110,000

Amount of expenses for the year is $ 82,000

under acrual basis of accounting, revenue are booked when they earned and there is no uncertainty of ultimate collection of the amount.

Furter, once expenses are incurred they are accounted for under accrual base of accounting.
