      gains & income" pertains to ____ accounts.
      A losses & expenses, real Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      C expenses & assets, real Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D capital & drawings, nominal Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E expenses and assets, nominal Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      The accounting general rule for recording financial transactions of nominal accounts in double-entry bookkeeping is "Debit all losses & expenses, credit all gains  &  income."    Nominal accounts are temporary accounts, recording and keeping track of your profits, revenues, expenses, losses. Debiting losses  and  expenses  represents  an  increase  in  these accounts, reflecting the use of assets or incurring of liabilities, while crediting gains and income accounts represents an increase in owners' equity through earned revenue or financial gains. This method ensures accurate and balanced financial records.
