During the year, a company recorded prepayments of expenses in asset accounts, and cash receipts of unearned revenues in liability accounts. At the end of its annual accounting period, the company must make three adjusting entries: (1) Record salaries expense incurred for which the cash was paid in advance, (2) Accrue utilities expense, and (3) Record services revenue earned for which cash will be received the following period. For each of the adjusting entries (1), (2), and (3), indicate the account to be debited and the account to be credited—from a through i below.

Adjusting entries is a part of a journal entry that is usually recorded during the end of a period in order to make corrections in expenditure and income recordings in the financial statement.  

(1) Accrue salaries expense:

The Salaries Expense would be debited and  Salaries Payable account would be credited. It is because expenses are debited by the businesses as it forms their liabilities.

 

(2) Accrue utilities expense:

Debit the utilities expenses and credit  it with the accounts payable account. It is because expenses on utilities are expenditures of the business.  

 

(3) Services revenue against cash:  

Debit accounts receivables and  Services Revenue will be credited. It is because for a business, accounts receivables are its assets that get increased when service revenue is received that is debited.
