Zion Ritter · Answer 1

The correct answer is Interest Revenue and Dividends

Explanation:

Equity decreases is debited and increases is credited. This is the opposite credit and debit rule which is used for assets. In the terms of credit and debit, Accounts debits = Equity credits + liability credits

Interest revenue is the earnings which is received from investment and it is credited whereas the dividends is the expense which is paid to the shareholders.

Therefore, the accounts which follow the debit and credit rule in opposite manner, these are interest revenue and dividends.
