Answer to Question 1

An accrual is a transaction in which the revenue is earned, or the expense is incurred, before the exchange of cash. An example would be a sale on account. The account receivable is an accrual. A deferral is a transaction in which the exchange of cash takes place before the revenue is earned, or the expense is incurred. An example would be prepaid rent.
