Answer 1

Answer:

C.  $ 19.000

Explanation:

The unearned revenue account is a liability account for collections received for which services have not been performed.

The Revenue earned is as follows:

Opening balance (Unearned Revenue) + Additions to Unearned Revenue - Closing Balance (Unearned Revenue)

$ 4,000 + $ 25,000 - $ 10,000  = $ 19,000

so the revenue earned is $ 19,000

This can also be explained by the amounts credited to Unearned Revenue account adjusted for changes in Unearned Revenue balance for the year.

$ 25,000 - $ 6,000  (Increase in Unearned Revenue balance over the period.)
