Answer: The correct answer is B. debit Fees Revenue and credit Unearned Fees Revenue, $3,000

Explanation: As at 1 April 2016, the $12,00 Johnson Bookkeeping received should have been a debit to cash and credit to unearned fees revenue. Since that was a misposting and considering the fact that 9 months had already passed, the firm has to prorate the fees that has been earned by 9/12*$12,000=$9,000 (this stays in fees revenues at (31 December 2016). Remember the fees received is for a 12-month period (1 April 2016 to 31 March 2017). So, we have to report $3,000 ($12,000 minus $9,000) as unearned fees as at 31 December 2016.

However, Johnson Bookeeping would experience a spike in revenue in April 2016 management reporting due to the misposting and subsequently there would a decline, all other things held constant, in revenue. On a normal day, if the posting was accurately done to unearned fees revenue, the firm would amortize over 12 months to fees revenue, that is $1,000 every month.
