When recording cash sales, how much would cash be
debited for if sales receipts totaled $5475 and cash
short/over is credited for $93? What would your credit to
sales be?

Solution
Cash is an asset account. An asset account is debited
when there is an increase, and credited when there is a
decrease.
So, if Cash account is credited for $93, that means the
cash account decreased by $93.
On the other hand, sales receipts are $5475. So cash
increases & cash account is debited with $5475.
The net increase in cash account will be: $(5475 - 93) =
$5282
Sales account will be credited (An increase in revenue is
always credited) with the entire amount of sales, that is,
$5475. The adjustment to cash account will not impact the
sales account.
