🐶 How many did you get right? ANSWERS ⬇️ 1. You debit “Cost of Sales” to increase it. It’s an Expense account represented by the first “E” in DEA | LER, so it’s a Normal Debit Account. 2. You credit “Accounts Receivable” to decrease it. It’s an Asset account represented by the “A” in DEA | LER, so it’s a Normal Debit Account. 3. You credit “Service Revenue” to increase it. It’s a Revenue account represented by the “R” in DEA | LER, so it’s a Normal Credit Account. 4. You debit “Retained Earnings” to decrease it. It’s an Equity account represented by the second “E” in DEA | LER, so it’s a Normal Credit Account. 5. You credit “Accrued Expenses” to increase it. It’s a Liability account represented by the “L” in DEA | LER, so it’s a Normal Credit Account. For more practice questions like this head to: accountingstuff.com

Accrued expenses appeared as an expense to me n I said debit. What's the difference btn an accrued expense and a normal expense aren't they all expenses. Plz explain the context. Edit: btw DEA | LER still rocks coz I nailed the first 4.

I don't understand how cost of sales should be debited?

[@AccountingStuff]

Cost of Sales is a type of Expenses which means it's a Normal Debit Account. So it needs to be debited to increase it :)

[@edwardpaulsen1074]

Considering that there is also a context of POS systems using a bank card which was NOT mentioned.... the lack of context reduces the value of the information and the testing. Context matters.

[@AccountingStuff]

Which question needed the extra context?

[@edwardpaulsen1074]

@@AccountingStuff It was not so much a "which question" thing... more of I responded as if I was using an ATM for the first question and by the second question I realized that these were specifically about ledgers and/or accounting... then I noticed the name and facepalmed for a second... My suggestion is more for those rapidly skimming through that might NOT realize their mistake or note the Name and think it was for something else... Maybe add "Accounting Debits and Credits" in the text? By the way, I managed to have all of them correct anyway, so I am a moderately happy camper that I at least understand it that well... Normally I'm an engineer and my number stuff can get REALLY weird... LOL
