In an Unearned Revenue Adjusting Entry , we debit Unearned Revenue Account as a Current Liability and credit relevant Revenue Account when the company earned the revenue account.

So, initially, when the company received Cash or check received, and deposited into bank account, from client, then we record the following entry as shown below:                                 Cash a/c / Bank a/c  XXX                                                                    Unearned Revenue a/c  XXX               (Cash Or Check Received, And D

If the current ratio is more than 1, then the company has more current assets to meet current liabilities. If the company has current ratio less than 1 then the company has not enough current assets to meet current liabilities. It is “False” as proved from below calculation: We know Current Ratio is equal to the following formula: Current Ratio  =   Current Assets / Current Liabilities) Here: Current Assets = Cash + Marketable Securities + Accounts Receivable + Inventories By putting the value, we have: Current Assets = $75,000 + $11,000 + $90,000 + $225,000 = $500000 Current Liabilities  =  $200,000 Now, putting the value o
