At the end of the period, revenue is closed out and transferred to the retained earnings account, which is a permanent account.

Correct Answer
A. Payment of two months' insurance in advance.Explanation
Payment of two months' insurance in advance is most likely to result in an adjusting entry at the end of the period because it involves the prepayment of an expense that will be incurred over a period of time. The adjusting entry is necessary to recognize the portion of the prepaid insurance that has expired during the period as an expense. This ensures that the financial statements accurately reflect the expenses incurred during the period.Rate this question:

A prior period adjustment refers to a correction made to the financial statements of a company for errors or omissions in previous periods. It is not reported as a separate component on the income statement because it is considered an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings or other appropriate equity accounts. It does not represent the ongoing operations or activities of the company in the current period. Instead, it is a retrospective adjustment that corrects the errors of previous periods and ensures the accuracy of the financial statements.Rate this question:

- A.
Debit Depreciation Expense $50, credit Accumulated Depreciation $50.
- B.
Debit Depreciation Expense $500, credit Accumulated Depreciation $500.
- C.
Debit Accumulated Depreciation $50, credit Depreciation Expense $50.
- D.
Debit Accumulated Depreciation $500, credit Equipment $500.
Correct Answer
A. Debit Depreciation Expense $50, credit Accumulated Depreciation $50.Explanation
The correct answer is debit Depreciation Expense $50, credit Accumulated Depreciation $50 because this journal entry reflects the monthly depreciation expense for the microscope. Depreciation is the process of allocating the cost of an asset over its useful life, and in this case, the microscope has an expected life of 30 months with no residual value. By debiting Depreciation Expense, we record the expense for the month, and by crediting Accumulated Depreciation, we accumulate the total depreciation expense over time. This journal entry follows the matching principle in accounting, which requires expenses to be recognized in the same period as the related revenue or asset usage.Rate this question:

The correct answer is debit Travel Expense, $400; credit Accounts Payable, $400. This is because the purchase of the ticket is an expense for the business, which is recorded as a debit to the Travel Expense account. Since the purchase was made on account, it is recorded as a credit to the Accounts Payable account, representing the amount owed to the supplier.Rate this question:

The correct answer is debit Cash $200 and Accounts Receivable $1,000; credit Catering Service Fees $1,200. This is the correct journal entry because $200 was received in cash, reducing the amount owed by the customer, and $1,000 was charged to the customer's Accounts Receivable, representing the amount they still owe. The Catering Service Fees account is credited for the total price of $1,200 to record the revenue earned from the reception.Rate this question:

- D.

Correct Answer
C. Cash increases and Accounts Receivable decreases, $3,500Explanation
When Ellen's Bakery collects $3,500 of its accounts receivables, it means that the bakery is receiving cash from its customers who owed money. This results in an increase in the cash account because the bakery now has more cash on hand. At the same time, the accounts receivable balance decreases because the bakery has received payment and no longer has outstanding receivables. Therefore, the correct answer is "Cash increases and Accounts Receivable decreases, $3,500".Rate this question:

The column part will remain the same

- C.
Both the column and row will remain the same
- D.
Both will change
Correct Answer
A. The column part will remain the sameExplanation
When the formula =$B38 is copied into another cell, the column part (B) will remain the same. This is because the dollar sign ($) in front of the column reference locks it in place, preventing it from changing when the formula is copied to a different column. However, the row part (38) is not locked with a dollar sign, so it will change relative to the new cell location.Rate this question:
