If income received in advance, recorded as a liability, is reduced from ₹2,400 to ₹1,800, what is the result?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: ₹600 gain

Income received in advance is treated as a liability because the firm has received money but still owes goods, services, or an appropriate adjustment to the customer. If this liability decreases from ₹2,400 to ₹1,800, the reduction is ₹2,400 − ₹1,800 = ₹600. A decrease in liability benefits the firm because its outstanding obligation becomes smaller. Consequently, the reduction produces a revaluation gain of ₹600, and the Revaluation Account is credited by that amount. The figures ₹2,400 and ₹1,800 are balances, not the gain itself. Therefore, neither a ₹1,800 loss nor a ₹2,400 gain correctly expresses the effect.
