Alejandro · Answer 1

C. Each business transaction will have two debits.

Explanation:

In a double-entry system, there is debit to one account and credit another account. The transaction will not only involve debiting of two accounts because that will result in an incomplete recording of that particular transaction. To balance, it is required that the other account is credited because in double entry system the impact on the accounts is equal and opposite.
