At dec 31 Cash(ASSET) would be debited and advance received(LIABILITY) would be credited
the total payment of 1794 for six months will be divided by six.
the answer would be allocated as income in each of the month from feb to july by debiting the advance received(LIABILITY) and crediting Service Income(PnL).
