net income cash-basis 8,000

income accrual-basis 7,900

Explanation:

cash revenues 32,000

salaries expense (24,000)

net income cash-basis 8,000

sales for the period:

beginning AR + sales - collected = ending AR

3,000 + sales - 32,000 = 5,500

sales = 34,500

salaries expense:

beginning salaries payables + salaries - paid = ending salaries payable

3,100 + salaries - 24,000 = 5,700

salaries 26,600

revenues 34,500

salaries (26,600)

income accrual-basis 7,900
