Martin · Answer 1

A: Increase Cash $6,000 and increase Unearned Service Revenue $6,000

Explanation:

As the customer is performing the payment in advance, it will generate an obligation to the business to do the wedding gowns. This will not be a revenue; it will be liability for the business until the job is done. While the job is incomplete and undelivered, it will represent unearned service revenue.
