A hotel guest paid a small amount of cash to a hotel front office manager to reserve one room for his visit in 15 days. How should the front office manager handle this payment ? Group of answer choices


The amount received must be recorded as room revenues. 


The amount received is not revenues. 


So, the cash must be placed in a secured box until the guest arrives for the reserved room. 


The amount received must be recorded as Cash.


However, it may have to be refunded in case the guest cancels his reservation. For this nature, the amount received is considered "debt (or liability)" until the guest arrives for the room (or cancels the reservation). The manger should not have received the cash because the guest is not going to stay in the room at the time of payment
