    A.

    Unearned Service Fees 14,400

    Service Fees Earned 14,400

    D.

    Cash 14,400

    Service Fees Earned 14,400

    Solution:

    First, We calculate that September 1st to December 31st is a total of 4 months

    Secondly, We calculate the monthly fees to be paid as follows

    $21,600 is payable at the end of 6 months

    Monthly payment = $21,600/6 = $3,600 perm month

    Thirdly, we determine the payment for 4 months (September to December)

    = $3,600 x 4 = $14,400.

    Therefore, since the amount is yet be billed, we debit it to fee receivable account and credit it to service fee earned account

    Particulars Debit Credit

    Fee Receivable $14,400

    Service Fee earned $14,400
