When a company collects a $10,000 cash deposit from a customer for goods to be shipped in the future, the following items would be affected:

  1. Cash from Operations: Increased (cash inflow)
  2. Accounts Receivable: Not affected (the customer has paid cash, so there is no receivable)
  3. Revenue: Not recognized yet (the revenue is only recognized when the goods are delivered)
  4. Total Liabilities: Increased (the deposit represents an obligation to deliver goods in the future, which counts as a liability)
  5. Total Assets: Increased (the increase in cash balances increases total assets)

Therefore, the correct options to select are:

  • Cash from Operations
  • Total Liabilities
  • Total Assets
