    c. Decrease liabilities and increase revenues.

    Explanation:

    Duluth Co. collected a $6,000 cash advance from a customer on November 1, 2016 for work to be performed over a six-month period beginning on that date.

    If the year-end adjustment is properly recorded, the effect of the adjusting entry on Duluth's 2016 financial statements will be a decrease in liabilities and increase in revenues.

    This will be the case because when Duluth Co. collected a $6,000 cash advance from a customer on November 1, it would have passed the following entries:

    Dr Cash ... $6000

    Cr Prepaid Revenue ... $6000

    But note that 'prepaid revenue' is a liability which is why it has a credit balance.

    By year end, the adjustment will be to take credit to revenue for 2 months that has elapsed for November and December, which is 2/6 x $6000.

    Hence the entry will be:

    Dr. Prepaid Revenue ... $2000

    Cr. Revenue ... $2000

    which implies that the liability of prepaid revenue has reduced and revenue has increased
