Please write a letter in your own words, using the Harvard** referencing system wherever appropriate addressing the queries raised by Sahra Ong (the client).

Sahra Ong has written to the Managing Partner of the accounting firm you work for as a graduate accountant because she is confused about a journal entry she prepared on the 16th November (see question 2). When Sahra discussed this transaction with her friend Jed Skee, he told her that she should credit the account “Equipment” but she does not know why as she only thought you should debit the account “Equipment” and she is a bit embarrassed to ask her friend to explain.

Explain with reference to the appropriate accounting definitionthe accountingelement* that was creditedon the 16th of November. Ensure you also explain why the account was credited. 

Jed Skee was asking her what ‘form’ or structure her business ‘Vacation’ is. Sahra is not entirely sure. Please advise Sahra of the main three ‘forms’ or structures of business as described in Accounting for Business and which one ‘Vacation’ is and why.
