See the question below, I believe Becker is missing the date in the question unless I’m missing something, which I hope I’m not because I read the question over multiple times:

Dunne Co. sells equipment service contracts that cover a two-year period. The sales price of each contract is $600. Dunne’s past experience is that, of the total dollars spent for repairs on service contracts, 40% is incurred evenly during the first contract year and 60% evenly during the second contract year. Dunne sold 1,000 contracts evenly throughout the current year. In its December 31 balance sheet, what amount should Dunne report as deferred service contract revenue?

a. $480,000

b. $540,000

c. $360,000

d. $300,000

Choice “a” is correct. When service contracts are sold, the entire proceeds are reported as deferred revenue. Revenue is recognized, and deferral reduced as the service is performed. Since repairs are made evenly (July 1 is average date), only ½ of the 40% of repairs will be in the current year.

How would I know the service began in July?
