Answer is Right!
Answer is Wrong!
The correct answer is: B. Increase in assets and increase in capital
Income accrued and received results in an increase in assets and an increase in capital. This is because when income is accrued, it is recorded as an asset on the balance sheet. When income is received, it is recorded as a revenue on the income statement. Revenue increases capital, which is the owner’s equity in the business.
