Mercury Company sells tickets in advance for its weekly productions and records the proceeds as Unearned Revenue. At the end of each month, the company makes an adjusting entry to account for the tickets used during the month (ticket revenue.) On March 1, the Unearned Revenue account had a credit balance of $5,000. During March, Mercury sold 500 tickets at $40 each, and 450 tickets were used during the month. What is the balance in Unearned Revenue at the end of March?

    Answer:I did the calculations and i believe i got it right.

    Explanation:

    Mercury sold 500 tickets at $40 a piece, okay, still with me, good. Yet, only 450 tickets were used during the month. What that mean is to minus 50 tickets. 50 multiplied by $40 is $2000. 500 multiplied by $40 equals to $20000. $20000 minus $2000 is equaled to $18000. They also had a Unearned Revenue account that had a credit balance of $5000. So, that means they should be in "debt." They should have $-15000. Add $2000, it is equaled to $-13000. So it should be $-13000. If wrong, i'm sorry.
