As for the first question, the answer is c. The first one is a normal DEBIT entry and the second one is a normal CREDIT entry, which is what the question asks for.



The second question is Notes Payable.

A Dividend account is a contra equity account, in it that a dividend increases the account whereas a credit would lower it.

Therefore, Dividend account never decreases with a debit entry.
