In a single entry system, since only one aspect of a transaction is recorded, it is not possible to prepare a trial balance.Rate this question:

What will be debited, if business purchased Vehicle on cash?
- A.
Vehicle account
- B.
Business account
- C.
Cash account
- D.
Business account
Correct Answer
A. Vehicle accountExplanation
When a business purchases a vehicle on cash, the transaction will result in a debit to the Vehicle account. This is because the Vehicle account represents the assets of the business, and the purchase of a vehicle is an increase in assets. The cash account will not be debited since the business paid for the vehicle using cash, which means that there is no decrease in the cash balance. The Business account will not be debited as it represents the owner's equity and is not directly impacted by the purchase of a vehicle.Rate this question:

Which of the following is NOT correct?
- A.
Decrease in Assets will be debit
- B.
Decrease in Liabilities will be debit
- C.
Decrease in Expenses will be credit
- D.
Decrease in Revenue will be debit
Correct Answer
A. Decrease in Assets will be debitExplanation
A decrease in assets is recorded as a credit, not a debit. When an asset decreases, it means that the company has less of that asset, which is a reduction in value. In accounting, credits are used to record decreases in assets, while debits are used to record increases. Therefore, the statement "Decrease in Assets will be debit" is incorrect.Rate this question:
