Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is B

Explanation:

The journal entry which is to be recorded for the service revenue at the end of May is as follows:

Unearned Revenue A/c..............Dr    $5,333​

             Service RevenueA/c...........Cr    $5,333.

Working Note:

Revenue = Total amount × Number of months / Total months

where

Amount is $8,000

Number of months means at the end of May which is a 2nd month

Total months is 3 months (April, May and June)

= $8,000 × 2 / 3

= $5,333
