Basically, unrealized gross profit is not an asset, liability, expense, revenue and owner equity.

Because asset always record in DR side as a nature.

Liability record on CR side but we don't have to pay any thing in unrealized gross profit.

expense nature is DR

revenue nature is CR but unrealized gross profit is expected to be an income after realizing.

owner equity means to invest in business and unrealized gross profit is not an investment.

So, we have to assume the unrealized gross profit as liability because it is mutually unearned. Unearned, it is an advance amount which is liability until we earned it. Similarly, unrealized is expected to be earned in future after collecting the installments of sales, as unearned is a part of liability so, unrealized gross profit is also a part of liability through unearned account.
