Answer:
The answer is D. balance sheet as a current liability
Explanation:
Unearned fee is the amount that has been collected before rendering a service. For example, a customer paid in advance for goods that have been delivered, a football season ticket holder. The full service has not been rendered. So it is recognized as a liability because the customer can terminate the contract anytime.
As the service is being rendered, maybe monthly, quarterly or weekly, revenue is recognized and unearned fee decreases.
For example, a customer paid a $12,000 on Jan 1. for monthly delivery of magazine for a year. Here, the customer paid for a service that last till Dec 31st.
What will be recognized as revenue monthly is $1,000($12,000/12months) and unearned revenue too decrease by $1,000 monthly
