Solution

The correct option is D Amount receivable
The debit balance of a personal account indicated debt owing by the person and credit balance indicates debts owing to the person concerned. For the business, the first one is account receivable or asset, while the second is accounts payable or liability. Every personal account showing debit balance (i.e. excess of debit side over credit side) will reveal the amount by which the debit side is more than the credit side. Debit balance is recoverable from the person whose account shows a debit balance. A debit balance to a personal account is an asset and therefore the more debit balance to a personal account is an asset and therefore the more debit balances to personal accounts, more the assets are in the form of outstanding recoverables. The debit balance of a personal account shows the amount receivable.
