    Given:

    short-term unearned revenue of $23,223 million.

    total revenues of $93,580 million.

    assume that microsoft recognized $2,000 million of unearned revenue as revenue during the year

    We only consider two figures in this problem. 1) 23,223 million short-term unearned revenue and the 2,000 million unearned revenue recognized as revenue for this year.

    There are two ways of recognizing the unearned revenue and its corresponding adjusting entry is dependent on its initial recognition.

    Liability method of Recording Unearned Revenue: (in millions)

    Debit Credit

    Cash 23,223

    Unearned Revenue 23,223

    Adjusting entry:

    Unearned Revenue 2,000

    Service Income 2,000

    Income Method of Recording Unearned Revenue

    Cash 23,223

    Service Income 23,223

    Adjusting Entry

    Service Income 21,223

    Unearned Income 21,223
