Which method produces the better measure of income? Why?

Select the item below that is true in response to the better measure of income and the reason why.

The modified cash basis method provides the better measure of income because it properly matches warranty costs to the revenues that the warranties helped generate. This method also creates a contingent liability representing a company’s expected use of resources.

The accrual method provides the better measure of income because it properly matches warranty costs to the revenues that the warranties helped generate. This method also creates a contingent liability representing a company’s expected use of resources.

The direct expense method provides the better measure of income because it expenses warranty costs when incurred.

Under the accrual method, a company’s liabilities will be misstated. In addition, the accrual method misstates warranty expense, and income, because the actual warranty repair occurs in a period other than the period in which the sale occurs.
