1. Revenue is recognized when it is earned, regardless of when cash is received. A deferred (unearned) revenue is a liability arising from the receipt of cash for which revenue has not yet been earned. As the revenue is earned, the liability should be adjusted.

2. What is the effect on the financial statements if these adjusting entries are not made?

In both of these cases, a liability (unearned service revenue) was originally created when cash was received  prior to the performance obligation being satisfied (prior to the revenue being earned). The adjusting entries recognize revenue and decrease  the previously created liability by the amount of revenue earned during the period. If these adjusting entries were not made, revenue would be understated  and liabilities (unearned revenue) would be overstated . In addition, the understatement  of revenue would result in an understatement  of net income. Finally, because revenue is then closed to Retained Earnings, stockholders’ equity will also be understated .

3.  What is the balance in Unearned Service Revenue at December 31 related to the two cleaning contracts?
