The journal entry to be made in the governmental activities journal will include all of the following except:A) A debit to Cash for $15,000. B) A debit to Accumulated Depreciation for $30,000. C) A credit to Equipment for $40,000. D) A credit to Other Financing Sources for $5,000

Answer 1

Answer:

D) A credit to Other Financing Sources for $5,000

Explanation:

Since cash is received, you must record the $15,000 in the cash account. The accumulated depreciation account must be closed, and since accumulated depreciation has a credit balance, it is closed by debiting it. Equipment is an asset account with a debit balance and it also must be closed, ans you do that with a credit.

Other financing sources is used to record non-revenue items such as proceeds from loans, leases, sales of bonds or notes, insurance  recoveries, etc., not the sale of assets.
