Respuesta :

Answer:

a. $8,400

b. $2,400

Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

a. Cash basis: Under the cash basis, the amount which is already paid is recorded as the cash basis

In the given case, the $8,400 will be recorded as an advertising expense

b. Accrual basis: Under the accrual basis, when the amount earned but not received i.e means it is billed.

Since $8,400 is paid for 7 months, but from January 1 to February 28 it has 2 months so for two months, it would be
