Answer 1

Answer:

Cash A/c Dr $12,000

Account receivable A/c Dr $18,000

       To Hardware revenues A/c $30,000

(Being the sale of hardware is recorded)

Explanation:

The journal entry is shown below:

Cash A/c Dr $12,000

Account receivable A/c Dr $18,000

       To Hardware revenues A/c $30,000

(Being the sale of hardware is recorded)

Since the sale is taken which increase the current asset i.e cash account and the account receivable by $12,000 and $18,000 respectively so we debited it and the revenue is an income so we credited it
