    https://www.khanacademy.org/economics-finance-domain/core-finance/accounting-and-financial-stateme/cash-accrual-accounting/v/cash-accounting (10/10)
    There is a difference between accrual and cash accounting. The actual difference is the timing of when revenue and expenses are recognized.(10/10)

    Something interesting from the 2nd video: The heart is responsible for a type of circulation called Systemic Circulation. Systemic Circulation is the function of the heart carrying oxygenated blood through the whole body. It removers the cellular waste (Carbon Dioxide) where it’s carried to the lungs to be exchanged with oxygen. (10/10)
