On January 1, 2019 the company cannot record any revenue ($0), it should record the $33,000 in revenue on April 1.

Explanation:

The revenue recognition principles state that revenue should only be recorded when the company has substantially completed the earning process. This is one of the most important accounting principles since accountants must be very careful to not overstate possible revenue.
