Bertrand Inc. purchased some shop equipment for $5,400 in cash. By mistake, the journal entry debited the Office Equipment account rather than the Shop Equipment account. What correcting entry would be necessary?
Multiple Choice
Debit Cash $5,400; credit Shop Equipment $5,400
Debit Office Equipment $5,400; credit Shop Equipment $5,400
Debit Office Equipment $5,400; credit Cash $5,400
Debit Shop Equipment $5,400; credit Office Equipment $5,400
Option 4th is correct. i.e 4)Debit Shop Equipment $5,400; credit Office Equipment $5,400.
The previous entry |
Office equipment 5400 Dr |
Cash 5400 Cr |
And the correct entry should have been |
Shop equipment 5400 Dr |
Cash 5400 Cr |
And to correct this, the journal entry would be |
Shop equipment $5400 Dr |
Office equipment $54,00Cr |
(cash need not be corrected as it was already credited properly) |
