Explanation:

a.

The receipt of $240 upfront in advance from a customer is a liability for the business as the business has received cash for service that is yet to be provided. The business will record this as a debit to the cash account and credit to a liability account of  Unearned Service Revenue.

b.

On 31 december, the business has provided magazines for 3 months thus it has earned revenue for 3 months. The revenue for 3 months is,

Revenue per month = 240 / 12 = 20

For 3 months = 20*3  = 60

The business will record this as a credit to the subscription revenue and a debit to the unearned subscription revenue
