The customer has seen it good to pay before receiving the product. This should excite you as you get to understand that your brand is trusted. The availability of money provides the much-needed liquidity which any business stands to benefit from. With increased cash flow, there is literally very little, if any, that you cannot do. Otherwise, the earning from it will have to be deferred to a later date when it can pass the test.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, on-time payment of the company&#8217;s payables is important as well. Both the current and quick ratios help with the analysis of a company&#8217;s financial solvency and management of its current liabilities. The current ratio is a measure of liquidity <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bookstime.com\/articles\/is-unearned-revenue-a-current-liability\">is unearned revenue a liability<\/a> that compares all of a company\u2019s current assets to its current liabilities. If the ratio of current assets over current liabilities is greater than 1.0, it indicates that the company has enough available to cover its short-term debts and obligations.<\/p>\n<h2>Magazine Subscription<\/h2>\n<p>The rationale behind this is that despite the company receiving payment from a customer, it still owes the delivery of a product or service. If the company fails to deliver the promised product or service or a customer cancels  the order, the company will owe the money paid by the customer. Unearned revenue is money received by an individual or company for a service or product that has yet to be provided or delivered. It can be thought of as a &#8220;prepayment&#8221; for goods or services that a person or company is expected to supply to the purchaser at a later date.<\/p>\n<p>This journal entry reflects the fact that the business has an influx of cash but that cash has been earned on credit. It is a pre-payment on goods to be delivered or services provided.  FreshBooks has online accounting software for small businesses that makes it easy to generate balance sheets and view your unearned revenue. This is why unearned revenue is recorded as an equal decrease in unearned revenue (a liability account) and increase in revenue (an asset account).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Just as being paid after putting in the hard work feels good, you have the opportunity to run with this payment and enjoy doing the work.
