It would have helped had you given "the following". Was one of them "a transparently partisan farce"? Because that would have been a good answer.
The "Muckraker" journalists would have been likely to cover all of the following subjects EXCEPT
The question asks about the "following". In such circumstances would it be too much to expect that you make sure that there is something that is following?
You would add up both columns on the T account and put the highest figure as the total for BOTH columns. Then in the column which was less you add a balancing figure call Balance Carried Forward to make that column match the other. Below the totals you would put Balance Brought Foward which is the same as the balance carried forward but it should go on the other side. You then list all the Balance Brought Fowards figures, keeping them in their debit or credit side. That list becomes the trial balance.
That would be The Mayflower Compact.
No, a liability account is decreased with a debit, not a credit. In accounting, liabilities represent obligations, and to reduce them, you would record a debit entry. Conversely, credits increase liability accounts. Therefore, to decrease a liability, you would use a debit entry.
Accounts that typically have a debit balance include asset accounts (like cash, accounts receivable, and inventory), expense accounts (such as rent, utilities, and salaries), and losses accounts. Additionally, contra asset accounts, like accumulated depreciation, also carry a debit balance. In contrast, liability and equity accounts usually have a credit balance.
Accounts that would be increased with a debit include assets, expenses, and losses. For example, when cash is received, the cash account (an asset) is debited, increasing its balance. Similarly, when expenses are incurred, the corresponding expense account is debited, reflecting a rise in total expenses. In contrast, liabilities, revenues, and equity accounts are typically increased with a credit.
In an income statement, the debit column typically includes accounts that represent expenses or losses. Common examples include cost of goods sold, operating expenses, and interest expenses. These accounts reduce net income and therefore are recorded as debits. Revenue accounts, on the other hand, would appear in the credit column, reflecting income generated by the business.

Prepaid taxes and equipment are asset accounts, so would normally have a debit balance. Rent expense is an expense account, so would normally have a debit balance. Liability, equity, and income accounts normally have credit balances.
To record audit fees with VAT, you would make the following journal entry: Debit the "Audit Fees Expense" account for the net fee amount, debit the "VAT Input Tax" account for the VAT amount, and credit the "Accounts Payable" or "Cash" account for the total amount (audit fee plus VAT). For example, if the audit fee is $1,000 and VAT is $200, the entry would be: Debit Audit Fees Expense $1,000, Debit VAT Input Tax $200, and Credit Accounts Payable $1,200.
Debit Deposits (an asset account) and credit Cash. You could also debit Accounts Payable for the deposit. Then post the final billing as a credit to Accounts Payable - the net difference is what would be due to the vendor.
To record the payment of a portion of accounts payable, the journal entry would debit the Accounts Payable account to decrease the liability and credit the Cash account to reflect the cash outflow. For example, if $1,000 of accounts payable is paid, the entry would be: Debit: Accounts Payable $1,000 Credit: Cash $1,000 This entry reduces both the outstanding liability and the cash balance.
Notes Payable is a liability, so it would normally have a credit balance. Accounts Receivable is an asset which would normally have a debit balance.
