When a company performs a service on account for a customer, which of the following
would occur?
a. Expenses would decrease
b. Assets would decreases
c. Net income would decrease
d. Stockholders' equity would increase ✅Answer: D
Explain: When we perform a service on account, we have more service revenue
(increase in service revenue and an increase in accounts receivable). Accounts
receivable is an asset.
When we perform a service account, we don't actually get the money, but we have the
right to receive money.
The more service revenue, the more equity we have.
Normal Balance: ✅What is done to increase the balance of an account?
Example: Assets increases with a debit, so assets normal balance is debit.
