What Liability-revenue relationship exsts with an unearned revenue adjusting entry?
If I understand your question correctly, you would like to know the relationship between unearned revenue and liabilities? Unearned revenue is something given to you for nothing. For example, cash given to you in advance for 6 months of services. You now have a liability because you OWE someone a service. Just like when you borrow money from the bank, you OWE them the principal and interest at the date of maturity.
This is what the journal entry would look like:
Client gives you $6,000 for 6 months of services
Cash $6,000
Unearned Revenue $6,000
Once you complete the first month of service, you can then reduce Unearned Revenue
Unearned Revenue $1000
Revenue $1000
Just remember, you dont record revenue until you EARN it.
