Answer:
a. Debit Utilities Expense $680
Credit Accounts Payable $680
Explanation:
Russel Co has received a utility bill for the current month but they intend to pay next month.
Since the expense is for this month it must be recognised now. So there will be a debit to the Utilities Expense account for $680.
The payment is not being made now but in the next month. This is an amount the business owes so it will be recorded as a credit to Accounts Payable of $680
Accounts payable is used to record monies that the business owes its creditors. Payments are due at a future date.
Answer:
Debit Utilities Expense 680
Credit Accounts Payable 680
Explanation:
Russell Co. Journal entry to record the receipt of the bill will be:
Debit Utilities Expense 680
Credit Accounts Payable 680
Since Russell Co. received a $680 utility bill which is not yet due until the end of the next month which means we have to Debit Utilities Expense with 680 which is the amount not yet due and Credit Accounts Payable with the same amount .
