Expert Solution
Step 1: Modified Accrual basis of accounting

The modified accrual basis of accounting is a method of accounting used primarily in governmental and nonprofit organizations in which revenues are recognized when measurable and available and expenditures are recognized when incurred, with certain exceptions to better match revenue and expenses to the period in which they are earned or incurred. This technique contrasts between the accrual basis, which recognizes revenues as they are generated and costs as they are spent, and the cash basis, which recognizes transactions only as they are received or paid in cash.
