A customer is provided a $200 service on account and is sent an invoice. What is the correct journal entry on the date of service?

ADebit Cash $200; credit Fees Earned $200
BDebit Fees Earned $200; credit Accounts Receivable $200
CDebit Accounts Receivable $200; credit Fees Earned $200
DDebit Accounts Payable $200; credit Fees Earned $200
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. Debit Accounts Receivable $200; credit Fees Earned $200
1. Revenue is recorded when the service is provided, so Fees Earned is credited. 2. No cash is received yet; the customer owes the amount, so a receivable arises. 3. Accounts Receivable, an asset that increases, is debited. 4. Option A wrongly uses Cash; option C reverses the entry; option D uses a payable instead of a receivable. 5. Therefore debit Accounts Receivable $200 and credit Fees Earned $200. _Source: Jonick, Principles of Financial Accounting (CC BY-SA 4.0), §1.4.5 "Revenue Transactions on Account", p.30_
