b) Debit Deferred Subscription Revenue Account with $204 million

Explanation:

a) When revenue is collected, it should be recognized in the financial statement (Income Statement) based on the matching principle and accrual concepts.

The matching principle states that revenue for a period should match the expenses or costs incurred for earning the revenue. And the accrual concepts states that revenue and costs should be recognized whether cash was received or not.

The implication is that when though revenue was collected for 2018 and 2019, only the revenue for 2018 should be recognized in the financial statement of 2018. The other part for 2019 should be deferred till 2019 when it would be recognized.
