    The correct answer is b. $1,300,000

    Explanation:

    The computation of unearned service revenue is shown below:

    = Outstanding service contracts for 2011 + Outstanding service contracts for 2012 + Outstanding service contracts for 2013

    = $380,000 + $570,000 + $350,000

    = $1,300,000

    The other amounts are not considered in the computation part. So, it is ignored.

    Thus, the $1,300,000 is the amount which should be reported as Unearned Service Revenues in Eaton's December 31, 2010 balance sheet.

    Hence, the correct answer is b. $1,300,000
