The adjusting entry for deferred revenues result in
a) a decrease to a liability account and an increase to a revenue account.
b) an increase to a liability account and a decrease to a revenue account.
c) neither an increase or a decrease to a revenue account.
d) neither an increase or a decrease to a liability account
solution
a) a decrease to a liability account and increase to revenue account
explanation :
consider a example that you have a candy shop a customer give you $120 for 12 months candy subscription
this will increase your cash by 120 and also increase deffered revenue account
cash a/c dr ..................120
to deffered Revenue accountt ......................120
after that at each month we made an adjustment entry bacause we debit the cash for a work which we have complted in following 12 months (in simple words it is a liability )
so adjustment entry
deffred reveune 10
to cash 10
this will decrease cash account and liability account .
(if you have any doubt just ask me)
