Accounting.?

I have this question that I can’t seem to figure out in Accounting, and basically it involves a refund b/c

‘A guest became ill and was unable to stay for the entire week, a refund was issued for $1000’…

Anyways I can’t seem to figure this out, where would the debit and credit go?

I’m not listing all of them, only the ones that could possibly matter…

Assets

-Cash, accounts receivable

Liablilities

-accounts payable

Owner’s Equity

-Capital, drawing

Revenues

-Registration fees

If you can help me with that question it’d be great. Thanks…

Well, the credit is easy – you paid out cash, so you credit the cash account.

The debit depends on the company. It would either be a contra account for the Revenue account, or you can just directly debit the Revenue account. The $1000 was originally put in there, but now it is no longer revenue, so you need to reduce that account.

I agree with the other poster that you should credit CASH. You would also have to debit the REVENUE account because it is no longer revenue or in other words revenue has been reduced.

-Cash is Credited

-Sales R/A is Debited

If you are in a beginning acct. class you might not use this but anything above beg. wil use Sales Return and Allowances.
