    D. Debit Deferred Revenue and credit Service Revenue for $12,000.

    Explanation:

    The money received in advance before the deliver of the service is recognized in the books by debiting cash account and crediting deferred revenue. As the service is earned, revenue is credited and deferred revenue debited.

    Total amount collected = $90 * 400 = $36,000

    Monthly revenue = 1/12 * $36,000 = $3,000

    Revenue earned between September and December = 4 * $3,000

    = $12,000

    Entries required

    D. Debit Deferred Revenue and credit Service Revenue for $12,000.

    D. Debit Deferred Revenue and credit Service Revenue for $12,000.

    Explanation:

    Total Subscription receipt for one year = 400 x $90 = $36,000

    Number of months accrued = December 31, 2021 - September 1, 2021 = 4 months

    Revenue accrued = Total Revenue x (Number of Months accrued / 12) = $36,000 x (4/12) = $12,000

    So the correct option is D. Debit Deferred Revenue and credit Service Revenue for $12,000.
