Answer:  D. A debit to an asset and a credit to a liability

Adjusting entries are entries which are recorded at the end of the financial year to adjust and correctly record all the incomes and expenses. Since debiting an asset and crediting a liability doesn't impact the incomes nor expenses, it is not an adjusting entry.

The various adjusting entries are below. (Correct adjusting entries)

1. Accrued revenue: Debit asset and credit revenue

2. Accrued expense: Debit expense and credit liability

3. Deferred revenue: Debit revenue and credit liability

4. Prepaid expense: Debit asset and credit expense

5. Depreciation: Debit expense and credit asset

Incorrect adjusting entries:

1. Debit asset and credit liabilty

2. Debit liability and credit asset

3. Debit and credit two different asset accounts

4. Debit and credit two different liability accounts

The abve are incorect adjusting entries as these do not have any impact on the incomes and expenses
