How to approach this question
Accrual Revenue = Cash Collected + Increase in AR (or - Decrease) - Increase in Unearned (or + Decrease).
Full Answer
D.$468,000✓ Correct
D
Formula: Cash Collected + Change in AR + Change in Unearned Rev (inverse).<br/><br/>1. **Cash Collected:** $450,000<br/>2. **AR Adjustment:**<br/> Ending $35,000 - Beginning $20,000 = +$15,000 Increase.<br/> Increase means Sales > Collections. Add $15,000.<br/>3. **Unearned Revenue Adjustment:**<br/> Ending $2,000 - Beginning $5,000 = -$3,000 Decrease.<br/> Decrease means we earned revenue that was previously collected. Add $3,000.<br/><br/>Total Accrual Revenue = $450,000 + $15,000 + $3,000 = $468,000.
Common mistakes
Subtracting the decrease in unearned revenue; subtracting the increase in AR.
