Expert Solution

Answer: c. Assets and stockholders' equity each increased by $2,500.

Billing the client for services performed will result to the following journal entry:

 

Accounts Debit Credit
Accounts Receivable $2,500  
Revenue   $2,500

Accounts Receivable is an asset account, and a debit to this account increases it. Revenue on the other hand is an income statement account which is closed to the Retained Earnings account at the end of the accounting period. Retained Earnings account is a stockholders' equity account which will increase upon closing of the revenue account.
