Answer 1

Answer:

d.  increases assets, increases stockholders' equity

Explanation:

The journal entry for earning revenue is shown below:

Since the revenue is earned so we debited the cash account which increases the asset balance and credited the sales revenue account which increases the stockholders' equity balance.
