Revenues are recognized when the goods are services are delivered.
* When cash is received before services → unearned revenue, but cash is recognized.
* When services are done before cash → accounts receivable, but revenues are recognized
Expenses are recognized in the period in which goods and services are used
Prepaid expense: paid before services are performed
Cost of goods sold: it’s an expense when you sell. You recognize the buying price.
Retained earnings: revenues – expenses

deferred revenue: first cash and then service
accrued revenue: first service and then cash
If you pay 500 euro in advance it will become a revenue when you leave the plane.
(in cash-based accounting it instantly becomes revenue)
The moment you will use an asset it will become an expense, before that it isn’t an expense
Closing the books: revenue – all expenses = retained earnings
add or subtract the additional retained earnings from the original retained earnings on the beginning
journal.
