    Adjusting entries
    How should I calculate and record the adjusting entry presented below in the trial balance on December 31,2005:

    On November 1, 2005 a company agreed to do a six-month course for a client, with a monthly fee of $2,200. The client paid the first five months' fees in advance.
    When the cash was received, the Unearned Extension Fees account was credited.

    Thank you

    That is correct... it is unearned until the calender date has passed.

    Dr. Unearned extension fees 2200
    Cr. Earned extension fees 2200

    Adjusting entry should be made to the extent of the earned extension fee. Since only 1 month has passed only the 1 month expired should be acounted as earned

    It would either be:

    Dr. Expense 4,400
    Cr. Prepaid 4,400

    Or
    Dr. Unearned Revenue 4,400
    Cr. Revenue 4,400

    2 months x 2,200 per month = 4,400

    I am unclear as to who you are needing the JE for.
