Answer: B. Loss of earnings from employment

Explanation:

The opportunity cost of choosing a course of action is the returns that you would have earned from choosing the next best action.

David was employed and yet decided to quit that job and start a business. The next best thing he could have been doing was working which means that the opportunity cost was the returns from working which was his salary.

In deciding to open up his own businesses, he had to forego the opportunity costs which meant that he lost the earnings from that his employment.

CR Deferred Revenue..........................................................$26,400

Explanation:

Revenue should only be recorded when earned and as the 6 month technical support can be sold separately, it is revenue that has not be earned yet as the 6 months have not elapsed. This will therefore need to be recorded as Deferred revenue.

Sold alone, the revenue is more than when they are sold together so use the standalone price to find out the revenue when sold together by proportionality.

Sales revenue = 153,000/180,000 * 176,000

= $149,600

Deferred Revenue = 27,000/180,000 * 176,000

= $26,400
