How does accepting a credit card payment for services rendered affect the elements of the financial statements?(Assume the credit card company charges a fee for handling a credit card transaction.)

What will be an ideal response?


The entry increases assets (accounts receivable-credit card company) and increases stockholders' equity (retained earnings). It increases revenue (service revenue) and increases expenses (credit card expense). Because the increase to revenue is greater than the increase to expense, it increases net income. The statement of cash flows is not affected.
