Lucifer · Answer 1

(C) Debit Cash, credit Unearned Revenue.

Explanation:

The journal entry is shown below:

Cash A/c Dr $2,000,000

To Unearned revenue A/c $2,000,000

(Being the receipt of cash is recorded)

Since the cash is received so we debited the cash account as it increases the current assets and credited the unearned revenue account as it is a current liability account so the same is to be credited
