Answer:

$ 3,200

Explanation:

As per the accrual principle, income and expenses are recognized when they are incurred, regardless of whether payment has been made or received. For example, expenses are recognized when a product is bought, or service utilized even if payment has not been made.

For Lobos Inc., income for December will be

$ 900 of services to customers and payment expected next month

$ 2300 services performed and paid in December

The $1200 payment for next month is not an income for December. The services have not been performed; hence income cannot be recognized.

Total income will be $900 + $2300= $ 3,200
