    The correct answer is Option C.

    Explanation:

    As at the time the contract of $144,000 was signed for a two-year period, Goldenrod Co. would have to recognize an unearned revenue of $144,000 and debit accounts receivable for $144,000. As at Dec. 31, 8-month service has been rendered. So, the company would record 8/24 x $144,000 = $48,000 by debiting unearned revenue and crediting sales revenue. This process would continue at each reporting period until the unearned revenue is fully recognized in sales revenue. On May 5 when full payment is to be received, the company would debit cash $144,000 and credit accounts receivable.
