The easiest way to solve this exercise is to reason that, apart from any cash receipts during August,

  1. The $600 increase in Accounts Receivable
  2. ($2,500 ! $1,900) means that revenue

    increased…………………………………………… $ 600

  3. The $900 decrease in Unearned Sales Revenue
  4. ($1,200 ! $300) means that revenue

    increased…………………………………………… 900

  5. Cash receipts increased revenue because the cash

came from a customer (client)……………………… 7,000

Total revenue for the month ………………………… $8,500
