What effect does the recording of revenue normally have on total assets?

What will be an ideal response?


The recording of revenue normally has the effect of increasing total assets (usually cash or accounts receivable).
If revenue is earned at the same time cash is collected, cash is increased. If revenue is earned on account, and a customer is billed, accounts receivable is increased. A less common situation involves earning revenue after cash was received in advance, in which case assets are unaffected (that is, liabilities decrease and equity increases).
