The following data are taken from the comparative balance sheets of Girard Billiards Club, which prepares its financial statements using the accrual basis of accounting.
December 31 2008 2007
Fees receivable from member $14,000 $ 9,000
Unearned fees revenue 17,000 25,000
Fees are billed to members based upon their use of the club's facilities. Unearned fees arise from the sale of gift certificates, which members can apply to their future use of club facilities. The 2008 income statement for the club showed that fees revenue of $153,000 was earned during the year.
