Kash Company is reviewing its December 31, 2020 unadjusted trial balance and determines that a sale in the amount of $15,000 had been incorrectly recorded as a debit to sales and a credit to accounts receivables. The correcting journal entry at December 31, 2020 is:
Debit accounts receivables and credit sales $30,000 |
Debit accounts receivables and credit retained earnings $30,000 |
Debit retained earnings and credit sales $15,000 |
Debit accounts receivables and credit sales $15,000 |
The correct answer is A "Debit accounts receivables and credit sales $30,000"
Entry which should have been passed:
Accounts receivable Dr. 15,000
To sales 15,000
Entry which was passed:
Sales Dr. 15,000
To accounts receivables 15,000
Thus, to nullify the effect of wrong entry and then to pass the correct entry, the reversal entry will be by $30,000
