Question

Jim is a lawyer who requires that his clients pay him in advance of legal services rendered. Jim routinely credits Legal Service Revenue when his clients pay him in advance. In June Jim collected $12,000 in advance fees and completed 75% of the work related to these fees. What adjusting entry is required by Jim's firm at the end of June

Answer 1

Answer:

Legal Service Revenue Dr $3000

Unearned Revenue Cr $3000

This is due to the fact that the amount of 25% of the work is undone. Hence, it is recorded as a liability and since it is earned, it is shown as unearned revenue.
