Document Summary

We are learning about the role of adjusting entries in the accounting cycle, specifically deferrals and accruals. Many students consider this of the most complicated topics in the course. You ll need to make sure that you are analyzing the entries from the company"s perspective, not the customers or creditor. We will assume in the entries below that all payments are made in cash immediately, not on credit. Deferred revenues: deferred revenues arise when a company receives cash in advance from a customer prior to providing the service or goods. Common examples include deposits on construction work to be performed and payments made to secure hotel or airline reservations. The initial entry to record the receipt of cash is: Unearned revenue (liability) xx xx: the entry above is not the adjusting entry. The adjusting entry is prepared at the end of the period to account for the portion of the unearned revenue that has been earned during the period.
