See explanation section

Explanation:

The journal entry to record the sale of goods is as follows:

January 2, 2020 Accounts receivable-Record Company Debit $415,500

Sales Revenue Credit $370,000

Unearned service revenue Credit $45,500

As the selling price is $415,500, Stellar will receive $415,500 from Record company. However, the sales revenue is the selling price of the goods, which is $370,000. $45,500 is an installation fee for which Steller will give service for the next 6 months. Therefore, it is an unearned revenue assuming that the receivable will pay the money within a few months or earlier or before the service has been performed.
