O Level Accounting (7707)•7707/12/M/J/22

Explanation
Accrual accounting adjustment for commission income
Steps:
- Identify opening commission receivable: $210 (asset to be collected).
- Note cash received during year: $480 (reduces receivable but does not reflect full earned income).
- Calculate earned income: cash received + closing receivable - opening receivable (requires closing balance or total earned, neither provided).
- Conclude no specific journal entry possible without closing receivable or total commission earned for the year.
Not enough information.
Why A is correct:
- Insufficient data to confirm; assumes adjustment increases receivable by $460, but unverified without earned amount.
Why the others are wrong:
- B: Incorrectly debits income statement (income is credited, not debited).
- C: Reverses debit/credit for income recognition (income credited, not debited higher amount).
- D: Balances debit/credit equally at $506 but misapplies to "commission statement" (no such account; uses income statement).
Final answer: Not enough information.
