Answer 1

Answer:

• The entries in VLC's accounting information system to record all the preceding events will include all of the following except:

C. A credit togross profit

Explanation:

An entry to Gross Profit does not exist because the gross profit it's the result of the total sales minus the Cost of Goods, so the Gross Profit it's a result and not a journal entry.

The other entries are used as follows:

A. A debit to cost of goods sold

D. A credit to inventory

B. A debit to delivery expense

A credit to Cash
