Answer to Question 1

The accrual basis, or method, of accounting is a system of measuring and reporting revenues when they are earned and expenses in the accounting period when incurred. Revenues are considered earned when the earnings process is completed, such as when goods are shipped or services performed, and expenses are considered incurred when assets are consumed or liabilities are created in the process of earning revenue.
