    c. Debit Unearned Revenue and credit Dance Lessons Revenue for $3,000

    Explanation:

    When a fee is received in advance for a service yet to be rendered, the revenue for such fee is said to be unearned. The entries required are

    Debit Cash account and Credit Unearned fees or deferred revenue.

    As the service is performed and the revenue is earned, debit Unearned fees and credit revenue.

    Amount of revenue earned between 1 November and 31 December

    = 2/3 * 375 * 12

    = $3,000

    On November 1:

    Dr Cash ($375*12) $4500

    Cr Unearned service revenue $4500

    On December 31:

    Dr Unearned service revenue 4500 * (2/3) $3000

    Cr Service revenue $3000

    Explanation:

    On First November: The receipt from service sales must be recorded as under:

    Dr Cash ($375*12) $4500

    Cr Unearned service revenue $4500

    The Earned revenue is the concept in accrual accounting which says that the revenues must be recognised when the revenues are earned, which means the company has delivered its part. As in this case, the company has not yet delivered its part, so unearned service revenue (Liability account) must be opened with the amount received.

    On December 31, The company must recognise sales earned which is 2 out of 3 months earning share as the company has delivered its share of consideration for 2 months. So the double entry would be reversing the unearned service sales with the revenue earned.

    Revenue earned = $4500 Unearned service revenue * 2 months / 3 months

    Revenue earned = $3000

    So the double entry would be:

    Dr Unearned service revenue 4500 * (2/3) $3000

    Cr Service revenue $3000
