Answer 1

Answer:

The general journal entry to be made is:

Dr  Cash($200+$125)                                $325

Cr Revenue from services provided                      $200

Cr Revenue from rental services                            $125

Explanation:

The sales revenue is made up of dance and rental services which implies that the account for each is credited with $200 and $125 respectively as increase in income naturally is credited to revenue.

On other hand the receipt of cash of $200 as well as $125 which sums up to $325 implies that cash has increased by the same amount, since cash is an asset an increase in asset has a debit entry, that justifies the reason for debiting cash account with $325
