Provided $700 of piano lessons on account Collected $525 from students who took piano lessons during April. Paid April's piano rental bill of $375. Received May's piano rental bill of $425 and set it aside for payment in June. What is Melody's Net Income for May using the accrual basis of accounting?

Explanation / Answer

Under the accrual basis of accounting, revenues are reported on the income statement when they are earned. Expenses are matched with the related revenues and/or are reported when the expense occurs, not when the cash is paid.

Calculation of Net Income :-

Less: Rental Bill For May                                                                        $425

          Net Income                                                                                  = $1175
