Question

On January 2 Kelly company performed $800 worth of services for a client. The client paid $100 immediately, but promised to pay the balance next month. The journal entry to record this transaction in Calley company's books would include a _____ to the cash account; a _____ to the accounts receivable account and a _____ to the service revenue account.

Answer 1

Date Account Title Debit Credit

Jan, 2 Cash $100

Accounts Receivable $700

Service revenue $800

$100 will be debited to Cash to show that $100 was received. The rest of the bill will go to the Accounts Receivables to shows that it is still owed. Then finally the entire $800 will go to Service revenue to show that services were performed for a client up to $800 worth.

Answer 2

$100, $700, $800

Step-by-step explanation:

Calley Journal entries would include:

Debiting $100 to the cash account

Debit the $700 to the receivables account

Credit $800 to the revenue account

This follows the double entry rule that a credit in one account must correspond to at least one debit in another account.

We debit all asset accounts(receivables,cash) when increased and credit all liabilities account when increased. We credit all income account(revenue) when increased and debit all expenses account when increased.
