Solution
The correct answer is "Cash increases; Accounts Receivable (A/R) decreases".
Here's why:
-
Avalanche Corp. receives 15,112.
-
At the same time, since the customers have paid off part of their accounts, the Accounts Receivable (A/R) balance decreases by the same amount ($15,112).
So, the transaction results in an increase in cash and a decrease in Accounts Receivable.
