How to approach this question
Rule: Revenue = Collected in Year + Collected within 60 days of Year End.
Full Answer
C.$900,000✓ Correct
C
Under modified accrual, revenue is recognized when measurable and available. 'Available' for property taxes is defined as collected within the current period or within 60 days after year-end. $800,000 + $100,000 = $900,000.
Common mistakes
Recognizing the full levy; ignoring the 60-day rule.
