Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Customers' account balances in accounts receivable are not assigned to expense in the period in which each customer pays. Instead, accounts receivable represent amounts owed by customers and are typically recorded as an asset on the balance sheet until they are collected. When the amounts are collected, the cash is recorded on the balance sheet and the accounts receivable balance is reduced. Expense recognition occurs through other methods, such as matching expenses to revenues or recognizing the expiration or use of assets over time.
