Answer: True.

Accrual basis of accounting- Under this method, revenues are reported on the income when they are earned. Under the accrual basis of accounting, expenses are reported on the income statement when they match up with the revenues (that are being reported).

Allowance method- It is the method of bad debts, it records an estimation of bad debts expense in the same accounting period in which credit sales are made. At the end of each accounting period, the amount of uncollectible account is estimated. An adjustment entry is made to recognize bad debts expenses and reduce reported receivables for the amount of estimated uncollectible accounts.
