b. DR Suppliers (Liability) CR Cash

c. DR Employees (Salaries) CR Cash

d. DR Interest Expense CR Cash

e. DR Insurance Expense CR Cash

f.  DR Income Taxes CR Cash

Explanation:

This is an accounting question that attempts to test your understanding of Journal entries.

The logic behind journal entries rests on the understanding of double entry principle in accounting that states that for every debit entry, there must be a corresponding credit entry.

Furthermore, you credit the giver and debit the receiver for any transaction.

There is a simpler way to understand this though.

I will make a little assumption that you understand what assets, expenses, losses and liabilities are;

Based on this assumption;

whenever assets, expenses and losses go up or increase, you Debit (DR) them but when they go down or reduce, you Credit (CR) them

Also, whenever Capital, incomes, and Liabilities go up or increase, you Credit (CR) them and whenever they go down or decrease, you Debit (DR) them.

Please feel free to ask me further questions on this, I am sure the little explanation I have given above will help you with any journal entry question.

Thank you.
