Question
Select all that applyThe journal entry to record 5.6 million in sales on account includes a ______. (Select all that apply.)Multiple select question.debit to Allowance for Doubtful Accounts of 5.6 milliondebit to Accounts Receivable of 5.6 millioncredit to Accounts Payable for 5.6 million
Solution
The correct answers are:
- Debit to Accounts Receivable of $5.6 million
- Credit to Sales Revenue of $5.6 million
Here's why:
When a company makes a sale on account, it does not receive cash immediately. Instead, the customer promises to pay at a later date. This promise to pay is recorded as an account receivable. Therefore, the company would debit (increase) its Accounts Receivable.
The sale also increases the company's revenue. In accounting, increases in revenue accounts are recorded as credits. Therefore, the company would credit (increase) its Sales Revenue.
The other options are not correct. The Allowance for Doubtful Accounts is used to estimate potential uncollectible accounts, not to record sales. Cash would not be debited because the sale was made on account, not for cash. Accounts Payable would not be credited because this account is used to record amounts the company owes, not amounts it is owed.
