Explanation:

To record the events in the journal entry we must make sure debit = credit on eahc of them

Cash,  will increase from debit so when cahs enters the company is being debit

when cash leaves the company/ it is used we credited.

the answer would be voluntary exchange -

"the act of buyers and sellers freely and willingly engaging in market transactions. moreover, transactions are made in such a way that both the buyer and the seller are better off after the exchange than before it occurred."
