This subscriptions is equal to 36 months subscription.
The amount of subscription revenue to report for the year ended March 31, 2021 = $35,000 ($180,000 * 7/36).
From the above calculation, a month's subscription revenue = $5,000 ($180,000/36)
Therefore, seven months' subscription from September 1, 2020 to March 31, 2020 = $35,000 ($5,000 * 7).
The unearned subscription revenue is debited with $35,000, while earned subscription revenue is credited with the same amount.
