Explanation of Solution

Realization principle:

Realization principle states that, under the accrual basis of accounting, revenue must be recorded when a business has significantly completed the process of revenue generation. This means that revenue must be recognized only when the revenue generated is realized or realizable and earned.

According to the realization principle, the revenue should be recorded in the accounting records, once the service has been rendered and the revenue has been earned, irrespective of whether cash is received or not. On June 1, the company has rendered service to the customers and the revenue has been earned. Hence, the company has to record the revenue in the accounting records.

On June 3, the company has purchased Office supplies. These supplies purchased are used in the same accounting period and they earn revenue which is matched with the expense incurred to purchase them in the same accounting period. Hence, the company has to record the purchase of Office supplies as the asset on June 3.
