Cash Accounting Practice Answers

Here are the answers:

  1. a) True. The Cash Method is commonly used for personal finances. This is because it's straightforward and intuitive.

  2. a) True. In Cash Accounting, Revenue is only recorded when Cash is received from customers. This method doesn't recognize Accounts Receivable. So sales are only recorded when payments are received, not when they are made on credit.

  3. b) False. The Cash Method is not ideal for businesses with Inventory. This is because it doesn't apply the Matching Principle. This makes it difficult to measure profit accurately over time.

  4. b) False. In Cash Accounting, Expenses are recorded only when Cash is paid out, not when they are billed.

  5. a) True. The Cash Method is simpler to implement than the Accrual Method. This is because it involves fewer accounting entries. Transactions are recorded only when Cash is received or paid out.
