What is the initial journal entry to correct the $200,000 machine incorrectly charged to repairs (ignoring depreciation for a moment)?

Answer options:

A.

Debit Repairs Expense $200,000; Credit Non-Current Assets $200,000

B.

Debit Non-Current Assets $200,000; Credit Repairs Expense $200,000

C.

Debit Non-Current Assets $200,000; Credit Cash $200,000

D.

Debit Suspense $200,000; Credit Repairs Expense $200,000

How to approach this question

Reverse the incorrect entry (credit the expense) and record the correct entry (debit the asset).

Full Answer

B.Debit Non-Current Assets $200,000; Credit Repairs Expense $200,000✓ Correct
The machine was incorrectly debited to Repairs Expense. To correct this, we must credit Repairs Expense by $200,000 (which will increase profit) and debit Non-Current Assets by $200,000 to capitalize the machine.

Common mistakes

Debiting cash, assuming the payment wasn't recorded.
