Solution

The required adjusting journal entry would be to recognize the revenue earned for the project from August 2022 to June 2023. This is 11 months of work, as the financial year ends on June 30th, 2023.

Step 1: Calculate the monthly revenue for the project. The total project cost is 60,000anditisa12monthproject.So,themonthlyrevenueis60,000 and it is a 12-month project. So, the monthly revenue is 60,000 / 12 = $5,000.

Step 2: Calculate the revenue for 11 months. The revenue for 11 months would be 5,00011=5,000 * 11 = 55,000.

Step 3: Make the adjusting journal entry. Debit (reduce) the 'Revenue received in advance' liability account by 55,000andcredit(increase)theRevenueaccountby55,000 and credit (increase) the 'Revenue' account by 55,000. This recognizes the revenue earned for the project up to the end of the financial year.

The journal entry would be:

Debit: Revenue received in advance 55,000Credit:Revenue55,000 Credit: Revenue 55,000

This entry ensures that the revenue is recognized in the correct financial year, in accordance with the matching principle of accounting. The remaining $5,000 will be recognized as revenue in the next financial year when the project is completed.
