which category would you put the entry to adjust the accounts involved (Service Revenues and Unearned Revenues)?
Unearned income represents revenue already collected but not yet earned. Unearned income should not be included as income yet, but should be recorded as a liability. It represents an obligation of the company to render services in the future
Under the liability method, a liability account is recorded when the amount is collected.
