Explanation / Answer

4. answer option E All of the above may use the cash method.

Congress allows the cash method of accounting to be used by: any individual (e.g., a sole proprietor);partnerships that do not have C corporations as partners; corporations or partnerships when the annual gross receipts for all preceding years do not exceed $5 million; certain farming businesses; and qualified personal service corporations in health, law, engineering, architecture, accounting, actuarial sci-ence, performing arts, or consulting.

5. answer: option D a and b

The discount on the Treasury Bill is reported when it matures. The deferral arrangement with the employer is effective because the taxpayer does not have the right, after the agreement is signed, to obtain the salary payments in 2017; thus, the doctrine of constructive receipt does not apply.
