The adjusting entries are shown below:

a. Unearned Fees A/c Dr $82,760

To Fees Earned A/c $82,760

(Being unearned fees are adjusted)

For recording the transactions we debited the unearned fees account and credited the fees earned account

b. Accounts Receivable A/c Dr $32,640

To Fees Earned A/c $32,640

(Being accrued fees recorded)

As the earned fees do not bill so we debited the account receivable account and credited the fees earned account
