On a side note, Excel is infuriatingly inconsistent: some operations work in a way that .1 + .2 == .3 (for example, try `=0.1+0.2=0.3`) but others fall apart (displayed as a fraction with one digit, 0.3 -> 2/7 but 0.1+0.2 -> 1&#x

To be clear, companies can elect for accrual-based accounting (in which case the revenue is unearned) or cash-based accounting (in which case the cash is taxed in the year received). In fact, many small businesses use cash-based accounting
