Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The contribution of $6,000 should be recorded on Karen Meyer's personal records because it was a personal donation, and on the American Red Cross's records as they received the donation. Crystal Cleaning's records would not reflect this transaction as it was made from Meyer's personal funds, not the business's funds.
