Explanation:

The journal entries will look as follows:

Date            Description                               Debit ($)         Credit ($)      

Oct 31          Cash                                       5,520,000

                    Unearned ticket revenue                              5,520,000

                    (To record ticket revenue received in advance.)                

Nov 5           Unearned ticket revenue     1,380,000

                     Ticket revenue (w.1)                                      1,380,000

                    (To record revenue ticket revenue earned.)                      

Workings:

w.1. Ticket revenue = Unearned ticket revenue * (1 / 4) = $5,520,000 * (1 / 4) = $1,380,000

the answer is: c.that person might be arrested and deported

filling w-4 form incorrectly usually would rise suspicions from government's auditors. when they notice such mistakes, they would send their teams to investigate the situation further.

if those investigation teams believe that the incorrectness is done on purpose (with malicious intent), that person can be arrested or deported
