The $7, 200 balance is for the full 6 months. We have 2 months that have expired already, being, November and December. The remaining 4 months is what should be the balance.

$7,200 x 4/6 = $4, 800

2. Accrued income:

Deferred revenue (opening balance) $3, 000

Adjusted (revenue earned) ($ 750)

Accrued income (closing balance) $2, 250

Service revenue (opening balance) $51, 200
