Explanation / Answer

23. Answer: Option A. Income statement

Explanation: Source documents are the basis for recording and substantiating the financial transactions. Hence, checks, purchase orders, and bank statements are all source documents. However, the income statement is not a source document but the financial statement depicting the total revenues, expenses and net income for a period.

24. Answer: Option A. Acme washes 500 cars

Explanation: Event A will be recorded in the accounting records of Acme Car Wash since there is revenue that has been earned by washing cars and the same needs to be recorded as it results in a change in the financial position of Acme. There is no change in the financial position of Acme when it hires a receptionist per event B and hence the same will not be recorded. The accrual/payment of salaries to the receptionist on rendering services will however be recorded. Events C and D also do not affect the financial position of Acme and hence will not be recorded in the accounting records of Acme.

25. Answer: Option D. The normal balance of an expense account is a credit

Explanation: Accounts receivable being an asset account has a normal debit balance hence statement A. is correct. The Dividends account is debited and dividends payable or cash is credited when dividends are declared or paid. The normal balance of dividends is thus a debit and hence statement B. is correct. Unearned revenue is a liability account and thus has a normal credit balance due to which statement C. is correct. All incomes have credit balances and expenses have debit balances hence the statement D. is incorrect.
