Which of the following is true about a "credit"?I. It is part of the double-entry procedure that keeps the accounting equation i
likoan [24]

Answer:

ALL

Explanation:

All of the following is true about a "credit"

I. It is part of the double-entry procedure that keeps the accounting equation in balance because, double entry is made up of 'debit' and 'credit' as the principle states: 'credit the giver and debit the receiver' hence, in order for the accounting equation to be balanced, every debit must have a corresponding credit

II. It represents a decrease to assets because just like the principle states: 'credit the giver and debit the receiver', it therefore implies that a 'credit' entry will decrease the balance on the account because it is giving.

III. It represents an increase to liabilities because liability accounts already have credit balances by nature, therefore a 'credit' entry will be increasing the already existing credit balance.

IV. It is on the right side of a T-account.  This is a true statement because in T-account construction the debit is on the left and the credit on the right.

Drupady [299]

Answer:

Explanation:

The income statement records only revenues and the expenses during a given period of time

The balance sheet records the assets, liabilities and the stockholder equity

Where

The current assets comprise cash, stock, account receivable, etc

Fixed assets involve plant & machinery, land, building, equipment, furniture & fittings, etc.

And, the intangible assets include patents, copyrights, trademark, and other intellectual properties.  

The current liabilities include the wage payable, account payable, unearned rent, etc

The stockholder equity represents the capital account

So, the categorization is shown below:

1. Accounts Payable = Balance sheet in a current liabilities side  

2. Depreciation Expense = Income statement in the debit side  

3. Nat Hager, Capital (beginning of period) = statement of owner's equity

4. Office Equipment = Fixed assets in the balance sheet

5. Rent Revenue = Income statement on the credit side

6. Supplies Expense =  Income statement in the debit side  

7. Unearned Rent = Balance sheet in a current liabilities side  

8. Wages Payable = Balance sheet in a current liabilities side
