The concept is you adjust to as to match revenue and expenses to the relevant period

So the sales belong in 2010 the purchases in 2011
The allowance for uncollectables is debit to expense and included in liabilities as a provision
And unearned revenue is adjusted between the two periods

Thanks.. but how is it? My problem is I'm having a hard time to use an appropriate account titles.. what should be the debit and credit one.. thanks by the way.. God Bless ! :)

We can't do your work for you you know adjusting entries are made under the matching concept to match revenue and expenses belonging to the same period and under the concept of true and fair view to remove distortions caused by errors or timing differences
