Answer 1

Answer: A reversing entry: "is the exact opposite of an adjusting entry made in a previous period.".

Explanation: Reversion entries are an end-of-the-year technique that involves the reversal, on the first day of the new accounting period, of those end-of-year adjustment entries that cause expenses or income and therefore will result in payments or cash receipts. Its purpose is to allow company personnel to record routine transactions in a standard manner without referring to previous adjustment entries.
