A journal entry with only one debit and one credit is a basic accounting entry that records a transaction involving two accounts. For example, if a company receives cash of $1,000 for services rendered, the entry would debit the Cash account for $1,000 and credit the Service Revenue account for $1,000. This reflects the increase in cash and the corresponding increase in revenue, maintaining the accounting equation's balance.
