Q & A

  • What is the first step in recording a business transaction in a general journal?

    -The first step in recording a business transaction in a general journal is to write the date, starting with the year, followed by the month and day when the transaction occurred.

  • What is the purpose of using source documents in accounting?

    -Source documents, such as invoices, receipts, or checks, serve as evidence of transactions. These documents are used as a basis for recording entries in the general journal.

  • What are the key components of a general journal entry?

    -A general journal entry consists of several columns: date, description (account name), reference (posting column), debit, and credit.

  • Why is the 'debit' placed on the left and 'credit' on the right in double-entry accounting?

    -In double-entry accounting, the left side (debit) represents asset increases, while the right side (credit) represents liability or equity increases. This system ensures that every transaction affects at least two accounts, keeping the books balanced.

  • What is the significance of the 'posting' column in a general journal?

    -The 'posting' column is used to transfer the amounts from the journal entries to the general ledger. Initially, this column remains empty until the information is posted to the appropriate ledger accounts.

  • How should accounts be written in the debit and credit columns of a journal?

    -When recording a transaction, accounts listed in the debit column should be placed on the left side, and accounts in the credit column should be indented slightly to the right. This distinction helps differentiate between debits and credits.

  • How do you record the owner's capital investment in a business in the general journal?

    -To record an owner's capital investment, first enter the date of the transaction, then list 'Cash' under the debit column for the amount invested and 'Owner's Capital' under the credit column for the same amount.

  • What is the difference between current assets and non-current assets?

    -Current assets are those that can be easily converted into cash within a short period, like cash and accounts receivable, while non-current assets, such as equipment or buildings, are long-term resources not readily convertible into cash.

  • How do you analyze a transaction involving the purchase of a vehicle for the company?

    -When analyzing a vehicle purchase, determine that the vehicle falls under fixed assets (non-current). Since it's an asset, debit 'Vehicles' or 'Equipment' and credit either cash or a liability account depending on the payment method.
