Karla Maxwell · Answer 1

The answer is D. owner's equity, debit balance

Explanation:

Drawing is the money or goods taken out from business by its owner. This act is usually common in partnership or sole proprietorship.

A drawing is not an expense, rather it is a reduction in owner's equity.

To credit owner's equity means to increase its equity and to debit owner's equity means to decrease or reduce its equity.

Since, drawing is a reduction in owner's equity, we debit owner's equity making option D. the correct answer.

Option A and B are wrong because drawings are not classified as an expense.

Option C is also wrong because a drawing is never a liability.
