Question
Sales on account ______. (Check all that apply.)Multiple select question.increase Accounts Receivable on the balance sheet and Sales Revenue on the income statementincrease Accounts Payable on the balance sheet and Sales Revenue on the income statementincrease liabilities and stockholders' equityincrease Cash on the balance sheet and Sales Revenue on the income statementincrease assets and stockholders' equityincrease assets and decrease stockholders' equity
Solution
The correct answers are:
-
"Increase Accounts Receivable on the balance sheet and Sales Revenue on the income statement" - When a sale is made on account, the company's Accounts Receivable (an asset) increases, as does its Sales Revenue (part of the income statement).
-
"Increase assets and stockholders' equity" - Accounts Receivable is an asset, so when it increases, total assets increase. Sales Revenue increases equity because it increases net income, which is part of equity.
The other options are incorrect because:
-
Sales on account do not increase Accounts Payable. Accounts Payable is a liability account that increases when a company purchases goods or services on credit, not when it makes sales.
-
Sales on account do not increase Cash. Cash increases when the company receives payment, not when it makes a sale on account.
-
Sales on account do not increase liabilities. Accounts Receivable is an asset, not a liability.
-
Sales on account do not decrease stockholders' equity. Sales increase equity because they increase net income.
