Answer:

D) Debit income summary 187000, credit revenues 187000

Explanation:

When dividend is declared, following journal entry is passed

Retained Earnings                                    Dr.

    To Dividend Payable

(Being declared dividend recorded)

When dividends are actually paid, the journal entry is

Dividend Payable A/C                              Dr.

     To Cash A/C

(Being dividend paid recorded)

Income summary account is prepared as a temporary account while income statement represents permanent account.

Income summary shows net income balance i.e Revenue less expenses.

As per the given information in the question, debiting income summary account with total revenues of $187000 would be wrong.

Why should you memorize your social security number rather then carry your social security card in your wallet? Explain why you
kakasveta [241]

Answer:

Hmm.

Explanation:

  • Why should you memorize your social security number rather than carry your social security card in your wallet?

One big reason why you should NOT carry your social security number on you is that you could get robbed at ANY moment. And if someone has your Social security number, then they could slander your name.

  • Explain why you will need to provide your social security number to employers.

You will need to provide your social security number to employers because they need to make sure that you are you.

<em>'Why do employers need my social security number? If an employer decides to extend you an offer, they will eventually need your social security number to verify your identity and work authorization and perhaps to complete a background check. However, they don't need it in the initial hiring phase.'</em>
