Learning Objectives 1,2 |
Momentous Occasions is a photography business that shoots videos at college parties. The freshman class pays $1, 000 in advance on March 3 to guarantee services for its party to be held on April 2.

Answer the following questions about the correct way to account for revenue under the accrual basis:
- Considering the $1, 000 paid by the freshman class, on what date was revenue recognized? Did the recognition occur on the same date cash was received?
- Considering the S4, 100 paid by the sophomore class, on what date was revenue recognized? Did the recognition occur on the same date cash was received?
