    Definitely, first journal is prepared like
    Advertising a/c dr 165$
    Mercury 165$
    Then after making journal you have to separately put different balances under different a/c title.for example in advertising a/c ledger, which is in debit side it should be written
    TO MERCURY 165$ AND VICE-VERSA.
    But when you are preparing income statement,consider ad expense as indirect expense in
    Profit and loss a/c
