Explanation
The amount of capital in the business is not fixed but changes in the normal course of business. It's increased by any profit or income earned and decreased by any drawing, loss, or expense made. The wages being paid in cash decreases cash and capital of the business as it is an expense. Hence, option (d) is correct.
The double effect of interest on Drawings is:
1. It is credited to the Profit & Loss Account.
2. It is added to the Drawings and then deducted from Capital, in Balance Sheet (liability side).
Before financial statements are prepared, additional journal entries, called adjusting entries, are made to ensure that the company's financial records adhere to the revenue recognition and matching principles. Adjusting entries are necessary because a single transaction may affect revenues or expenses in more than one accounting period and also because all transactions have not necessarily been documented during the period. Each adjusting entry usually affects one income statement account (a revenue or expense account) and one balance sheet account (an asset or liability account)
Adjusting entries refers to a set of journal entries recorded at the end of the accounting period to have an updated and accurate balances of all the accounts. Adjusting entries are mere application of the accrual basis of accounting and not based on transactions. For example, accrued interest on loan, depreciation, writing off prepaid expenses, etc.
