Question

Amounts received in advance from customers for future products or services:_______a) Are revenues. Increase income. b) Are liabilities. c) Are not allowed under GAAP. d) Require an outlay of cash in the future.

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is B. Liabilities

Explanation:

This is known as deferred revenue and Deferred Revenue is being treated as liability.

Even though, the money for the service or product has been received, the service to be rendered or the goods to be delivered is still in the future. And because it will be enjoyed by the customer in the near future, it is being treated as a liability.
