Solution:

Deffered revenue means when an organization receives the payment prior to the goods delivered to conusmer. In the given case, business receives $3000 on 1, January for ten month service (From january to October).

The revenue per month needs to be calculated:

Revenue per month = Revenue for ten months divided by Total number of months

By putting the figures we get,

Revenue per month = $3000 divided by 10 = $300 per month

An adjusting entry needs to be passed:

Date Particulars debit credit

31st jan Unearned Revenue $300

Service Revenue $300

( Service revenue that has been collected in advance)
