Group Task (2)
The conservatism principle guides accountants to select the alternative that produces the lowest
amount of net income. The conservatism principle holds that it is better to understate income
operates than there is in the petroleum field, where Exxon Mobil operates. Additionally, Apple’s

Computations for Income Statement Items:
2-6
a. The conservatism principal requires that revenue not be recognized before it is actually
earned. Glenn actually recorded an amount that not only had not been earned, but the
contract had not been finalized. Glenn has overstated his income by the $82,000.
b. The accrued salaries are an expense that has already been accrued and is owed and these
salary expense should be matched against the respective year’s revenue. By removing these
expenses from net income computation, Glenn is overstating net income.
