Preparing Adjusting Entries and Determining Account Balances

Marvelous Music provides music lessons to student musicians. Some students pay in advance for lessons; others are billed after lessons have been provided. Advance payments are credited to an account entitled Unearned Lesson Revenue. Adjusting entries are performed on a monthly basis. Below is an unadjusted trial balance dated December 31 of the current year. (Bear in mind that adjusting entries have already been made for the first 11 months, but not for December.)
