Terminal Exercise

1. What is meant by a journal?

Ans: Journal is a book of accounts in which all day to day business transactions are recorded in a chronological order i.e. in the order of occurrence. Transactions when recorded in a journal are known as ‘entries’. It is the book in which transactions are recorded for the first time. Journal is also known as ‘Book of Original Record’ or ‘Book of Primary Entry’.

2. Why is a journal called ‘book of original records’?

Ans: A journal is often referred to as a “book of original records” because it serves as a primary source of recorded transactions or events. In accounting and finance, for example, a journal is where financial transactions are initially recorded in chronological order as they occur. These records are considered original because they are the first place where transactions are documented, providing a detailed account of the organisation’s financial activities.

3. Explain various steps in the process of journalising.

Ans: Following steps are taken while preparing a journal.

(i) Identify the accounts: First of all the affected accounts of an accounting transaction are identified.

For example: ‘Goods of `5000 sold for cash is a transaction. The affected accounts are Sales A/c and Cash A/c.

(ii) Recognize the Account: Now the type of two accounts are ascertained i.e. as asset, liability, capital, expense or revenue. In the given example Cash A/c is an asset A/c and Sales A/c is a revenue A/c.

(iii) Apply the rules of Debit and Credit: You have learnt the rules of Debit and Credit. Now ascertain which account is to be debited and which is to be credited. In our example, a sales account will be credited as sales (a revenue item) is increasing and cash A/c will be debited as cash (is an asset) is also increasing.

4. Explain the meaning of compound journal entries with an example.

Ans: The journal entries which you have learnt so far affect two accounts only. There can be entries that affect more than two accounts. Such entries are called ‘Compound’ or ‘Combined’ entries. A compound entry contains more than one debit or credit or both, for example:

(i) Cash paid for rent Rs. 2,000 and for salary Rs.4,000.

(ii) The Affected accounts are Rent A/c which is to be debited and Salary A/c which is also to be debited as both are items of expense and are increasing.

(iii) Cash A/c is to be credited as Cash A/c is an asset A/c and it decreases by the total of Salary and Rent paid.

Rent A/c Dr.	2,000
Salary A/c Dr.Cash A/c	4,000	6,000
(Cash paid for rent and salary)
