Ricardo Conley · Answer 1

Debit Unearned Revenue $5,480

Credit Revenue $5,480

Explanation:

On December 31, 6 months has been passed so, the revenue of 6 months should be recorded as the payment was recorded as unearned revenue on July 1. The revenue account will be credited by the 6 months revenue amount and unearned revenue account will be debited to reduce the amount by the six month accrual.

Total Unearned revenue = $10,960

Unearned revenue per month = $10,960 / 12 = $913.33

revenue for six months = 913.33 x 6 = $5,480
