Answer 1

Answer:

$800 Debit.

Step by step explanation:  

We have been given that the accounts receivable account has a total debit postings of 1900 and credit postings of 1100.

Since debit postings are more than credit postings, so the balance of the account will be debit.

Let us find how many debit postings will be in the balance of account by subtracting 1100 from 1900.

$\text{The balance of the account}=1900-1100$

$\text{The balance of the account}=800$

Therefore, the balance of the account is a $800 debit.

Answer 2

When making an account statement, there are two columns, one is the Debit Side and the other is the Credit Side. Debit side means an increase in the Assets, expenses or Revenues. Whereas credit side means an increase in the liability, or equity of the company.

In this case, Debit side has an amount of 1900 and Credit side has an amount of 1100. The balance of the account would be 1900 - 1100 = 800 Debit.

It can be like:

                       Debit              |              Credit

                       ------------------------------------------

                        1900              |                 1100

                       ------------------------------------------

                                  Balance: 800
