Answer:

$31,200

Explanation:

Cash basis income recognition records transactions as per receipts and payments in cash and ignores the period they relate to. Cash basis of accounting is not in accordance with matching principle of accounting.

Cash basis of accounting is not recommended by either IFRS or US GAAPs since it overlooks the incomes earned and expenses incurred during a period.

In the given case, Net Income based upon cash basis would be computed as follows:

All cash receipts during the year 2019 - All expenses paid during the year 2019

= 105,000 - 73,800

= $31,200
