Solution

The answer is C. (1), (3) and (4) only.

Here's why:

  1. Investment: This is an asset account and can have a debit balance. When a company invests, it is essentially putting money into something with the expectation of profit. This is recorded as a debit.

  2. James Lee: This seems like a personal account. In accounting, personal accounts normally have a credit balance. If it has a debit balance, it means the business owes money to James Lee, which is not the usual case.

  3. Bank: This is also an asset account and can have a debit balance. A debit balance in a bank account indicates the amount of money a company has in the bank.

  4. Returns inwards: This is a contra revenue account and can have a debit balance. Returns inwards, also known as sales returns, occur when customers return goods that they have bought. This is recorded as a debit to cancel out the sales revenue.
