Journaldrill

Level 1: Basics Exercise 3 of 54 Free

Cash sale of services

A journal entry exercise from Journaldrill. Solve it with an account picker and debit and credit fields in your browser, and it is checked the moment you submit.

The task

Pinecrest Tutoring finishes a week of tutoring sessions and receives $850 in cash from parents at the end of the last session.

What this exercise teaches

Cash increases with a debit. The tutoring has already been performed, so the revenue is earned and Service Revenue is credited. Unearned Revenue would apply only if the cash were received before the work was done.

A hint if you get stuck

The service is complete and the money is in hand, so an asset and an earned revenue account both increase.
