Answer / samir sharma
A cash system of accounting is a system of accounting in
which all transactions are recorded only when actual cash
is received or paid. On the other hand in Mercantile system
of accounting the transactions are recorded on due basis
ie. when a transaction arises.
Eg. when sale is made on credit, in cash system of
accounting no transactions will be recorded however under
mercantile system of accounting the transactions will be
recorded.

Answer / zain-ul-abideen
accrual accounting system is mostly used by large
businesses or organizations. under this method all the
transaction are recorded whether it is cash transaction or
credit transaction. for example under the accrual method
revenue is recognized when customer are invoiced,
regardless of when payment is recieved. similarly, an
expense is recognized when the bill is recieved, not when
payment is made.
