Be either the same or higher than the amount of deferred revenue initially recorded

Answer 1

Answer:

B. Be lower than the amount of deferred revenue initially recorded.

Explanation:

In order to record the revenue for interest paid we only recognize the revenue that is incurred that particular reporting period for example if year end is December 31st. Hence only that revenue will be part of DEC 31st financial statement that is up to that duration .

Whereas the amount exceeding way above in advance is a liability on the company and will be recognized accordingly as per the terms of payment.
