Question
Select all that applySunny Sky paid 30,000 ______. (Check all that apply.)Multiple select question.debit to Cashcredit to Landdebit to Buildingdebit to Land Expensecredit to Cashdebit to Land
Solution
The correct answers are:
- debit to Land
- credit to Cash
Here's why:
When Sunny Sky pays $30,000 cash for a piece of land, the company is decreasing its cash account (an asset account) and increasing its land account (another asset account).
In accounting, a decrease in an asset account (like cash) is recorded as a credit. So, we credit Cash for $30,000.
An increase in another asset account (like land) is recorded as a debit. So, we debit Land for $30,000.
The options "debit to Building" and "debit to Land Expense" are incorrect because the company is not acquiring a building or incurring a land expense. The option "credit to Land" is also incorrect because we increase asset accounts (like land) with debits, not credits.
