The credit to Service Revenue was recorded correctly, but the debit to Cash was recorded as $770. A $1,200 receipt of cash that was received from a customer on accounts receivable was not recorded. A $580 purchase of supplies on account was properly recorded as a debit to the Supplies account. However, the credit to Accounts Payable was not recorded. Land valued at $11,000 was contributed to the business in exchange for common stock. The entry to record the transaction was recorded as a $11,000 credit to both the Land account and the Common Stock account. A $800 rent payment was properly recorded as a credit to Cash. However, the Salaries Expense account was incorrectly debited for $800.
