Art services performed for which payment has been received in advance total $1,400. How would this be journalized?

The statement notes that services were performed (so revenue should be recognized now) and payments had already been received (cash already booked prior against an unearned revenue account).

You are absolutely right... I journalized what would have been the initial entry. Sorry.
