The following data are taken from the comparative balance sheets of Glenview Club, which prepares its financial statements using the accrual basis of accounting.

Fees are billed to members based upon their use of the club’s facilities. Unearned service revenues arise from the sale of gift certificates, which members can apply to their future use of club facilities. The 2012 income statement for the club showed that service revenue of $172,000 was earned during the year.
