Solution

The correct answer is "Income is recorded under accrival accounting".

Here's why:

  1. Cash Accounting: In cash accounting, transactions are only recorded when cash is exchanged. So, if a service has been performed but no cash has been received, no income is recorded under cash accounting.

  2. Accrual Accounting: In contrast, accrual accounting records income and expenses when they are earned or incurred, regardless of when cash is exchanged. So, if a service has been performed (i.e., income is earned), it is recorded as income under accrual accounting, even if no cash has been received yet.
