Gerardo Heath · Answer 1

A revenue of $300

Explanation:

When a client pays in advance, the revenue is yet to be earned hence a debit entry is posted to cash and a credit to deferred revenue. Once revenue is earned, debit deferred revenue and credit revenue.

If $450 was paid in advance for 6 sessions, after 4 sessions,

Revenue earned = 4/6 * $450 = $300

This will be recognized by debiting deferred revenue and crediting revenue. Hence the income statement would show a revenue of $300.
