Zugar begins 2020 with three assets: cash of 20,000 dinars, accounts receivable of 80,000 dinars, and land that cost 200,000 dinars when acquired on April 1, 2019. On January 1, 2020, Zugar has a 150,000 dinar note payable, and no other liabilities. On May 1, 2020, Zugar renders services to a customer for 120,000 dinars, which was immediately paid in cash.
