Deferred Revenues

Deferred Revenues refer to payments received by a company for goods or services that have not yet been delivered or performed. Since the revenue is not yet earned, it is recorded as a liability on the balance sheet. As the goods or services are provided over time, the deferred revenue is recognized as earned revenue in the income statement.

  • Cash receipts from clients or customers that are received in advance, but the goods or services have not yet been delivered or provided to the customers.
  • Deferred Revenue is included as a liability, which is expected to become revenue for the company as time passes or as the work is completed.

Depreciation of Fixed Assets refers to the process of allocating the cost of a fixed asset (such as machinery, equipment, or buildings) over its useful life. This allocation reflects the asset's decreasing value due to usage, wear and tear, or obsolescence. Depreciation expense is recorded on the income statement, while accumulated depreciation is recorded on the balance sheet as a contra-asset account.
