O Level Accounting (7707)•7707/12/M/J/22
Question 14 from 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.

Topic: Other payables and other receivables
