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

Closing the books: revenue – all expenses = retained earnings
add or subtract the additional retained earnings from the original retained earnings on the beginning
