    Take your amount received of $5,800 times number of months of service provided divided by 10 months to get your adjusting entry amount. Your adjusting entry will be:
    Debit Unearned Revenue for the amount calculated
    Credit Earned Revenue for the amont calculated.

    To get the remaining balance in Unearned revenue you simply take your beginning amount of $5,800 minus the amount debited your to Unearned Revenue account.
