Solution
When a company records an adjusting entry for services previously recorded as Deferred Revenue, it records:
- Credit to Revenue
- Debit to Deferred Revenue
Here's why:
Deferred Revenue is a liability account that represents the advance payments a company receives for products or services to be delivered or performed in the future. So, when the company actually delivers the goods or performs the service, it needs to reduce this liability. This is done by debiting (decreasing) the Deferred Revenue account.
On the other hand, the company has now earned the revenue, so it needs to increase its Revenue account. This is done by crediting (increasing) the Revenue account.
So, the correct answers are "credit to Revenue" and "debit to Deferred Revenue".
