Answer:

C) debit Cash $540 and Service Revenue, $280, credit Accounts Receivable, $820

Explanation:

The correct journal entry should have been:

Dr Cash 820

    Cr Accounts receivable 820

But since the transaction was erroneously recorded as:

Dr Cash 280

    Cr Sales revenue 280

an adjusting entry is necessary for the difference:

Dr Cash 540

Dr Sales revenue 280

    Cr Accounts receivable 820

This way cash account will have increased by $280 + $540 = $820, sales revenue will remain unchanged $280 - $280 = $0, and accounts receivable will decrease by $820.
