When calculating the balance of the Sales Revenue account, you find that the balance is lower than expected. However, according to your Balance Sheet and your analysis of the accounting equation, all of your debits and credits are equal across accounts. What is the most likely explanation for this? A: You made a digit transpose error while recording an entry in the Sales Revenue account. B: You recorded an entry in the Sales Revenue account as a debit rather than a credit. C: You failed to record an entry in the Sales Revenue account even though it was posted to the Cash account. D: You failed to record a sales transaction in the journal, so it never got transferred to the ledger or financial documents.
