Recall from Illustration 3.11 that, when a service has been provided to a client on account, the revenue is recorded together with an account receivable. Revenue is not recorded again when the cash is collected. Rather, Cash is increased by $9,000 and Accounts Receivable is decreased by $9,000, bringing the balance in the Accounts Receivable account to $11,000 ($20,000 – $9,000). This is the amount still owing from Copa, as shown in Illustration 3.16.
