          Cash                          Account receivable:

Debit           Credit                debit             credit  

44,160                                  46,980

                    1,220                                    44,160

42,940   Balance                 2,820 Balance

Supplies                                 Fees Earned

debit            credit               debit            credit  

2,020                                                       46,980

Account payable

debit            credit  

                     2,020

1,220

                        800  Balance

(C) The Account receivable is debited for credit sales

and is credited when those sales are collected, as no one will pay more than he owes, the Account receivable cannot have a credit balance, if the company sales 100 it can collect at most 100

So if AR has  a credit balance, it implies the company collect more than it sold. Which is impossible and therefore, an acounting error.

Explanation:

To do the t-accounts we will post each value of the journal entries under each account.

In your assignment we are given with the jornals entries:

(1) Accounts Receivable 46,980 debit

                       Fees Earned 46,980 credit

(2) Supplies                      2,020 debit

                  Accounts Payable 2,020 credit

(3) Accounts Receivable 44,160 debit

                        Cash                       44,160 credit

(4) Accounts Payable 1,220 debit

                      Cash                       1,220 credit

To transfer this into T-accounts we will do a single t-account per account.

Then under each T-account we will write he exact number under the same side as it was in the journal.

Notice the Debit of 44,160 for cash accounts is displayed the same way on cash T-accounts

we just need to copy no calcualtion needed.

Lastly, on accounting we don't put the dollar sing as it is implicit that accounting only works with dollars value.
