Tripp Malone · Answer 1

Debit Cash account $6,500

Credit Deferred revenue $6,500

Explanation:

When cash is collected in advance for a service yet to be rendered, the revenue for that service will be deferred in recognition.

The company will recognize an asset in form of cash and a liability in form of deferred revenue.

Hence to record the transaction,

Debit Cash account $6,500

Credit Deferred revenue $6,500

Being entries to recognize cash collected for service yet to be rendered.
