In deferred revenue, revenue is recognized after the cash is received.

In accrual basis accounting, companies record revenues when they perform services (rather than when they receive cash) and record expenses when they are incurred (rather than when paid). The correct answer is D.

Revenue recognition principle dictates that revenue is recognized when it is earned not the cash is received.

In cash basis accounting, companies record revenues when they receive the cash and they record expenses when the cash is paid. Cash basis accounting records only cash transactions—cash receipts and cash payments. Basically, it is a simple method. But it prevents businesses from being cautious. Companies adopting cash basis accounting focus only transactions involving cash. Those with no monetary input are not taken into consideration. It is possible to say that cash basis accounting is mostly used by small businesses.

The titles of the accounts used in the recording and the explanations of each transaction are shown in the next column. References of each account are mentioned. Debit and credit amounts for each account are entered. This is called journalizing. The followings are the items which could be seen in a journal entry:
1. The date of transaction.

4. Explanation of the transaction.
5. Numerical identifications of the accounts which are used later in posting.
6. Debit amount.
7. Credit amount.
