    Explanation:

    The journal entry to record the transaction of receiving advance cash for service provided in the following months is as follows:

    September 1 Cash Debit $20,800

    Unearned Service revenue Credit $20,800

    As the client paid full in advance, cash account is debit. According to the revenue recognition principle, as the service is yet to perform, therefore, service revenue is not credit. Instead, Unearned Service revenue (A liability) arises.
