Given in Q. :
From reading the Q., I conclude that Point (f) read as "On October 15, WTI agreed to teach a four-month class (beginning immediately) for an individual for $2,561 tuition per month payable at the end of the class. The class started on October 15, but no payment has yet been received. (WTI's accruals are applied to the nearest half-month; for example, October recognizes one-half month accrual)."

Answer :

  • The amount of tuition fees is receivable at the end of class monthly.
    For example, October 15 class will end on November 15, and the amount receivable will be due on November 15.
  • Based on accrual system, Income is accrued to the nearest half-month.
    For example, at the end of October, amount due up to October 31, will be recorded as accrued income.

Now, Total tuition fees up to year end (i.e. December 31) will be accrued for 2.5 months (i.e. from October 15 to December 31)
For better understanding,
From October 15 to November 15 = due on November 15 (1 month)
From November 15 to December 15 = due on December 15 (1 month)
From December 15 to December 31 = will be due on January 15, But at December 31, applying accrual accounting, half of the fees will be recorded as accrued income. (0.5 month)

Tuition fees for 2.5 months = $2561 per month * 2.5 = $6402.50

Journal Entry will be -
Accounts Receivable................ Dr. $6402.50
To Tuition fees earned................. $6402.50

Year-end balances will be as follows :
Accounts Receivable = $6402.50
Tuition fees earned = $107477 + 6402.50 = $113879.50
