    Debit Unearned Subscriptions $15,150;

    credit Subscriptions Income $15,150.

    Explanation:

    Given,

    Unearned subscription = $60,600 for 1 year or 12 months

    Monthly subscription income = $60,600 : 12

    Monthly subscription income = $5,050

    Since the company received cash in advance on October 1, 2019, and the financial year closes at December 31, 2019. Therefore, Paige Turner has earned 3 months (October, November, and December) subscription income.

    Therefore, subscription income for the three months = $5,050 * 3 = $15,150.

    As the liability becomes expired and turns into an income, therefore, liability decreases, and income increases.

    Liability decreases = Debit (Unearned Subscription) $15,150

    Income increases = Credit (Subscription income) $15,150
