Solution

Answer = Option C

We have to calculate Net Income before tax for 2 months ended July 31 i.e. For June and July, so that means Income = Revenue – Expenses

As Dividend is deducted after deducting Tax from Income.

Cash basis

In cash basis, we will consider Revenue which is received in June and July and will consider Expenses which are paid in June and July.

Revenue is earned in June and received in July, so we will consider whole $8,000,000 as revenue.

Expenses are incurred in June but are paid in August, so they are not paid in June or July, so expenses will not be considered as expenses in these two months as they are not paid in cash.

SO

Income = Revenue – Expenses

= $8,000,000 – 0

Income under Cash basis = $8,000,000

Accrual basis

In Accrual basis, we will consider Revenue which is earned in June and July and will consider Expenses which are incurred in June and July. There is nothing that it is received or not.

Revenue is earned in June, so we will consider whole $8,000,000 as revenue.

Expenses are incurred in June, so expenses will be considered as expenses as it is irrelevant that expenses are paid or not, so we will consider $2,774,000 as expense

SO

Income = Revenue – Expenses

= $8,000,000 – $2,774,000

Income under Accrual basis = $5,226,000
