Answer:

Revenues are Credited, Expenses are Debited and the difference of Revenue and Expenses is credited in the Retained Earnings.

Explanation:

The revenue and retained earnings account are credit in nature and expenses are debit in nature.

This can be Explained from the following equation:

Closing Equity = Opening Equity + (Revenue - Expenses)

Closing Equity - Opening Equity = (Revenue - Expenses)

Earnings Retained by the Company = (Revenue - Expenses)

So the difference of the revenues and expenses goes to retained earnings. If the answer of the difference is positive then the retained earnings are credited otherwise it is credited. So as I said that revenues are credit in nature so if their is profit (credit is in access of debit or in other words revenues are in excess of expenses) then the retained earnings will be credited and if their is a loss then the retained earnings account will be debited.

Answer:

The correct answer is hot site.

Explanation:

A hot site is a site where a company's operation can take place after a disaster. it is a duplicate of the original site and is situated at an off-premises location. It is a backup site which has all the equipment that is required to continue operations. it is always online and immediately available.

A warm site has lesser equipment than a hot site and requires more time to be operational. A cold site has the least equipment and takes a few days to be operational but is the cheapest alternative.

Since the company here wants the business to resume in the least time it should go for a hot site.
