Task 1: (5 marks) (Word limit: 500 words) On 31 March, Padbury Publishers received a subscription of $480 for the supply of twelve monthly magazines, beginning in April.

The owner of the business was reluctant to do so, claiming that he had already received the subscriptions in cash and could see no reason for the delay in recognising the revenue. Do you agree with the owner or the accountant? Respond to the owner, explaining the accountant’s position. Ignore GST.
