A Bad Debt Expense (BDE) usually plus or positive because when it incurs, we debit it which is a positive or favorable side as expense increases on debit side. Bad debt expense can be minus or negative in case of credit as expense decreases on credit side when these are closed to Income Summary Account . In case of recovery of bad debt, we reverse the actual entry (which is a debit to BDE Account and a credit to Accounts Receivable Account ) of bad debt expense incurred i.e., a debit to accounts receivable account and a credit to BDE account. Now, the bad debt expense account shows negative balance as it is credited.

The correct answer of this Multiple Choice Question (MCQ) is D), as the Net Worth is the difference total assets minus total liabilities. It is calculated from the following Accounting Equation : Net Worth (Owner's Equity Or Capital)  =  Total Assets - Total Liabilities (Rights of Outsiders) Net worth is the rights of the owner against the assets of the business. The more the customer has assets greater than total liabilities, the more stronger' net worth (positive net worth) of the customer has during the period.

When the company or employer gives An Asset to an employee as a gift , then there is no proceeds i.e., cash is not received.

The correct choice this Multiple Choice Question (MCQ) is a), as Expenses are the results of utilizing of services. For example, if the company paid Rent Expenses for the month, then it is possible for the company / corporation to run the business and provides its services to clients and earns revenues during the accounting period. Without paying rent expenses and other expenses the business can't be carried on and as a result services can't be consumed or performed. Other options of this mcq are incorrect. Using up Liabilities resulted in a debit to liabilities account and a credit to cash account or bank account. Purchasing assets resulted in a debit to assets account and credit to cash or accounts payable account, so it is not the right choice. Expenses decrease Owner's Equity while Revenues increase Owner's Equity. So, expenses are very important to incur to earn revenue for the business.
