Explanation of Solution
Calculate the net income under cash basis accounting:
Particulars | Amount ($) | Amount ($) |
Cash receipts | (4) 14,580 | |
Less: Cash payments | (5) 9,290 | |
Net income | $5,290 |
Table (3)
Net income of Incorporation C under cash basis of accounting is $5,290.

Calculate the cash receipts:
Cash receipts=(Consulting fees revenue)+(Common stock issued)+(Consulting fees revenue)+(Accounts receivable)+(Interest revenue)=$9,500+$1,200+$890+$2,980+$10=$14,580
Working note (5):
Calculate the cash payments:
Cash payments=(Short-term notes payable)+(Utilities expenses)+(Salaries expenses)+(Purchase of short-term invenstment)=$160+$1,800+$5,300+$2,030=$19,760
- According to the cash basis of accounting, the net income is $5,290 which higher than the accrual basis of accounting.
- The recording of the expenses and revenues differ from the accrual basis of accounting.
- Hence, the net income is different for the accrual basis of accounting and cash basis of accounting.
