How does unearned revenue arise? Can it be classified properly as a current liability? If so, why?
Give examples of business activities that result in unearned revenue. Additionally, explore the
potential ramifications of recognizing unearned revenue on the validity of the financial statement
and, potentially, the price of the stock.
Solution
Unearned income or unearned revenue occurs when a company receives money before the
money is earned. This is also referred to as deferred revenues or customer deposits.
The unearned amount is recorded in a liability account such as Unearned Revenues, Deferred
Revenues, or Customer Deposits. After the amount has been earned, the liability account is
reduced and a revenue account is increased.
Give examples of business activities that result in unearned revenue.
Magazine or newspaper subscriptions paid in advance are unearned revenues (deferred revenues)
for the publisher, until the subscription copies are delivered.
In accrual accounting (used by most companies), revenues are recognized as earned when two
conditions are satisfied:
Hence unearned revenue is not recognizes as revenue hence it doesn’t have any impact on the
Revenue of the company unless the same is realized .
Since it doesn’t have an impact on the net profit it will not impact the Earning per share of the
organization which is a measure of stock price .
