The amount of Subscription Revenue that has been earned by the end of December is $480,000

Explanation:

The computation of the amount of the subscription revenue is shown below:

= Subscription revenue * (number of months : total number of months in a year)

= $960,000 * (6 months : 12 months)

= $480,000

The six months is calculated from the July 1 to December 31. Since we have to record the amount for the end of the December so we take the six months
