Answer:

b) $500 is recognized in year 1 and $8,500 in year 2.

Explanation:

Calculation to determine When must Colbert recognize the income if his accounting methods are selected to minimize income recognition?

Calculation for amount recognized in year 1

Payment in year 1= $9,000 ÷ 18 months

Payment in year 1= $500

Therefore Based on the above calculation the amount recognized in year 1 will be $500

Calculation for the amount recognized in year 2

Payment in year 2 = $9,000 - $500

Payment in year 2= $8,500

Therefore The amount recognized in year 2 will be $8,500
