    1. Debit Utilities Expense $215; credit Accounts Payable $215.

    Explanation:

    The adjusting entry is as follows

    On December 31

    Utilities Expense A/c Dr $215

    To Accounts Payable A/c $215

    (Being the accrued utilities expense is recorded)

    Since the utility is an expense so it would be debited to the utility expense and the payment is not made till yet that would become a liability so we credited the account payable
