Question 5

One approach for converting from cash-basis to accrual-basis is as follows:

Answer 5

Add increases in current assets. For example, when AR increases, the increase is not considered to be income under the cash basis because the cash has not been collected, but the increase is income under the accrual basis.
Subtract decreases in current assets. Conversely, when AR decreases, then cash-basis counted it as revenue when the cash was collected, but under the accrual basis, the income was recognized in a prior period and should not be recognized again in the current period.
Add decreases in current liabilities. For example, when AP decreases, this represents a cash outflow that is recorded as an expense under the cash basis. However, under the accrual basis the paid expenses were recorded in a prior period and should not be recorded again in the current period.
Subtract increases in current liabilities. Conversely, when AP increases, this represents expenses incurred under the accrual basis method that have not been recorded under the cash basis method because they have not been paid.
