Q4. | Which of the following characteristics is NOT associated with a general journal? | ||
a) | It is used daily to record transactions. | ||
b) | The amount credited equals the amount debited. | ||
c) | Transactions are ordered from greatest to smallest. | ||
d) | Events are listed in chronological order. | ||
Ans. | A journal book is used to record transactions daily and the transactions which | ||
take place earlier are recorded first and those that occur later are recorded | |||
afterwards. Hence transactions are recorded in chronological order in a | |||
journal. Also in a journal both the sides of the transaction are equally | |||
recorded hence the total amount debited in a jounal entry will always be | |||
equal to the total amount credited. | |||
However there is no requirement that transactions of greater amount | |||
should be recorded first. Transactions are ordered based on their date | |||
and not based on their amount. | |||
Hence the option c) is the answer for this question. | |||
Q5. | Which of the following characteristics is associated with a general journal? | ||
a) | This is also known as the posting book. | ||
b) | There are different accounts for accounts receivable and accounts payable. | ||
c) | Tuesday’s records would follow Monday’s records. | ||
d) | Each account contains a rolling balance. | ||
Ans. | All transactions are recorded for the first time in a general journal. From the | ||
journal, entries are posted to the general ledger. Hence journal is called | |||
the book of original entry or book of primary entry. | |||
Accounts receivable arise on account of credit sales and accounts payable | |||
arise on account of credit purchases. Hence different accounts have to be maintained | |||
in a journal for accounts receivables and accounts payables. | |||
In a journal transactions are recorded chronologically hence Tuesday's records | |||
(entries) will obviously follow Monday's records (entries). | |||
In a journal transactions are recorded for the first time, hence in each journal entry | |||
the amount of each account will be different from the other entries. | |||
In a ledger the entries pertaining to a particular account are collected and shown | |||
separately hence a ledger account will show rolling balance. | |||
Hence options b) and c) are associated with a general ledger. | |||
Q6. | Which of the following characteristics is associated with a general ledger? | ||
a) | It is the initial documentation of a financial transaction as it originates. | ||
b) | If it is May, then the accounting transactions for February, March, April and May | ||
are listed. | |||
c) | This is also known as the original book of entry. | ||
d) | It is categorized by account. | ||
Ans. | As already explained in the answers to questions 4 and 5 above, journal is | ||
also known as the original book of entry as a transaction is recorded | |||
initially in a journal. Hence options a) and c) are not associated with a | |||
general ledger but with general journal. | |||
In a general ledger entries pertaining to a particular account are posted | |||
one below the other in a chronological manner. | |||
Hence answer to this question are options b) and d). | |||
