1. Stated by the problem
2. Based on the existing accounts (T-accounts)

UNEARNED INCOME = ? THEREFORE: LIABILITY METHOD
PREPAID EXPENSE = ASSET METHOD
PREPAID EXPENSE = ? THEREFORE: EXPENSE METHOD
UNEARNED INCOME = INCOME METHOD
 ALLOWED PAIRING:
 ASSET METHOD (Prepaid Expense) & LIABILITY METHOD (Unearned
Income)
 EXPENSE METHOD (Prepaid Expense) & INCOME METHOD (Unearned
Income)
