Answer: The correct answer B.$320 of revenue, $640 of deferred revenue.

Explanation: $960 cash was received by Choplet Ceramics for the 6 months course. Choplet Ceramics would have passed these entries upon receipt of the cash: Debit Cash $960 Credit Deferred revenue $960. On a monthly basis, this amount would be unwound to revenue on a straighline amortization basis, $960 / 6 months = $160. Since 2 months had already passed, the amount of revenue to be recognized would be 2 months * $160 or 2/6 * $960 giving $320. Therefore, as at 1 August, the amount in revenue would be $320 while deferred revenue balance would be $640.
