    Given:

    April 1 - Griffith publishing company received $1,548 from Santa Fe, inc. for 36-month subscriptions.

    1,548 / 36 months = 43 per month.

    Assuming that the amount is paid in cash.

    Debit Credit

    April 1:

    Cash 1,548

    Unearned Revenue 1,548

    April 30:

    Unearned Revenue 43

    Revenue Fees 43

    May 31:

    Unearned Revenue 43

    Revenue Fees 43

    June 30:

    Unearned Revenue 43

    Revenue Fees 43

    July 31

    Unearned Revenue 43

    Revenue Fees 43

    August 31:

    Unearned Revenue 43

    Revenue Fees 43

    September 30:

    Unearned Revenue 43

    Revenue Fees 4 3

    October 31:

    Unearned Revenue 43

    Revenue Fees 43

    November 30:

    Unearned Revenue 43

    Revenue Fees 43

    December 31:

    Unearned Revenue 43

    Revenue Fees 4 3

    Book Value of Unearned Revenue is: 1,548 - (43*9) = 1,548 - 387 = 1,161

    Since it is a monthly subscription, the unearned revenue must always have an adjusting entry at the end of the month because Griffith company has already earned some of the prepaid fees.
