Detailed explanation-1: -Revenues are recorded or recognized when they are earned regardless of when cash payment is received from the customer. Cash received for selling services or products is a timing issue, and cash for revenue can be received from customers at three different times.

If a customer purchases and receives the software in January, the company can book the sale and recognize all $10k of the revenue in the same month.
