Answer 1

a. Debit Accounts receivable for $600

Step-by-step explanation:

As Greasy catering company provided services but had not got the bill from the customer, it increases an asset. According to the revenue recognition principle, revenue has recognized whenever it is provided not when the cash is received. In that case, the journal entry to record the transaction is -

Accounts receivable (Debit) $600

Revenue (Catering) (Credit) $600

Accounts receivable is debit because the company owes the amount from the customers.
