1Double entry accounting requires that: (i) All transactions that create debits to asset accounts must create credits to liability or capital accounts; (ii) A transaction that requires a debit to a liability account require a credit to an asset account; (iii) Every transaction must be recorded with equal debits equal total credits.Show solution
Justification: Double entry accounting is based on the principle that for every debit there must be an equal and corresponding credit. This ensures that the accounting equation (Assets = Liabilities + Capital) always remains balanced. Option (i) is not always true because a debit to an asset can also be offset by a credit to another asset. Option (ii) is not always true because a debit to a liability can be offset by a credit to another liability or capital.
2State different kinds of transactions that increase and decrease capital.Show solution
1. Fresh capital introduced by the owner (additional investment).
2. Net Profit earned during the period (revenues exceed expenses).
3. Interest on capital credited to the capital account.
Transactions that DECREASE Capital:
1. Drawings — when the owner withdraws cash or goods for personal use.
2. Net Loss suffered during the period (expenses exceed revenues).
3. Interest on drawings charged to the capital account.
In summary:
3Does debit always mean increase and credit always mean decrease?Show solution
| Account Type | Debit | Credit |
|---|---|---|
| Assets | Increase | Decrease |
| Liabilities | Decrease | Increase |
| Capital | Decrease | Increase |
| Revenue/Income | Decrease | Increase |
| Expenses | Increase | Decrease |
For example:
- Debiting an asset account means an increase in assets.
- Debiting a liability account means a decrease in liabilities.
- Crediting a capital account means an increase in capital.
- Crediting an expense account means a decrease in expenses.
Therefore, debit and credit represent either increase or decrease depending on the type of account involved.
4Which of the following answers properly classifies these commonly used accounts: (1) Building (2) Wages (3) Credit sales (4) Credit purchases (5) Electricity charges due but not yet paid (outstanding electricity bills) (6) Godown rent paid in advance (prepaid godown rent) (7) Sales (8) Fresh capital introduced (9) Drawings (10) Discount paidShow solution
| Category | Account Numbers |
|---|---|
| Assets | 1 (Building), 6 (Prepaid Godown Rent) |
| Liabilities | 4 (Credit Purchases — Creditors), 5 (Outstanding Electricity Bills) |
| Capital | 8 (Fresh Capital Introduced) |
| Revenue | 7 (Sales), 3 (Credit Sales) |
| Expense | 2 (Wages), 9 (Drawings), 10 (Discount Paid) |
Explanation of each item:
1. Building — Asset (fixed/tangible asset).
2. Wages — Expense (revenue expenditure).
3. Credit Sales — Revenue (income earned, though collected later).
4. Credit Purchases — Liability (creates creditors).
5. Outstanding Electricity Bills — Liability (expense due but unpaid).
6. Prepaid Godown Rent — Asset (expense paid in advance, benefit yet to be received).
7. Sales — Revenue.
8. Fresh Capital Introduced — Capital (increases owner's equity).
9. Drawings — Reduces Capital (treated as expense in classification).
10. Discount Paid — Expense.
Hence option (ii) correctly classifies: Assets = 1, 6; Liabilities = 4, 5; Capital = 8; Revenue = 7, 3; Expense = 2, 9, 10.

1The ledger folio column of journal is used to: (a) Record the date on which amount posted to a ledger account. (b) Record the number of ledger account to which information is posted. (c) Record the number of amounts posted to the ledger account. (d) Record the page number of the ledger account.Show solution
The Ledger Folio (L.F.) column in the Journal is used to record the page number of the ledger account to which the journal entry has been posted. This helps in cross-referencing between the Journal and the Ledger.
2The journal entry to record the sale of services on credit should include: (a) Debit to debtors and credit to capital. (b) Debit to cash and Credit to debtors. (c) Debit to fees income and Credit to debtors. (d) Debit to debtors and Credit to fees income.Show solution
When services are sold on credit, the customer (debtor) owes money to the business — so Debtors Account is debited (asset increases). The revenue earned is credited to Fees Income Account (revenue increases). Hence the entry is:
3The journal entry to record purchase of equipment for ₹2,00,000 cash and a balance of ₹8,00,000 due in 30 days include: (a) Debit equipment for ₹2,00,000 and Credit cash ₹2,00,000. (b) Debit equipment for ₹10,00,000 and Credit cash ₹2,00,000 and creditors ₹8,00,000. (c) Debit equipment ₹2,00,000 and Credit debtors ₹8,00,000. (d) Debit equipment ₹10,00,000 and Credit cash ₹10,00,000.Show solution
The total cost of equipment = ₹2,00,000 + ₹8,00,000 = ₹10,00,000. Equipment Account is debited for the full value. Cash Account is credited for ₹2,00,000 (paid immediately) and Creditors Account is credited for ₹8,00,000 (balance due in 30 days).
4When an entry is made in journal: (a) Assets are listed first. (b) Accounts to be debited listed first. (c) Accounts to be credited listed first. (d) Accounts may be listed in any order.Show solution
In a journal entry, by convention, the account(s) to be debited are always written first (on the left side), and the account(s) to be credited are written below them, slightly indented to the right, preceded by the word 'To'.
5If a transaction is properly analysed and recorded: (a) Only two accounts will be used to record the transaction. (b) One account will be used to record transaction. (c) One account balance will increase and another will decrease. (d) Total amount debited will equals total amount credited.Show solution
The fundamental principle of double entry book-keeping states that for every transaction, the total amount debited must equal the total amount credited. A transaction may involve more than two accounts (compound entry), so option (a) is not always true. Option (c) is also not always true as both accounts can increase (e.g., asset increases and liability increases).
6The journal entry to record payment of monthly bill will include: (a) Debit monthly bill and Credit capital. (b) Debit capital and Credit cash. (c) Debit monthly bill and Credit cash. (d) Debit monthly bill and Credit creditors.Show solution
When a monthly bill (expense) is paid in cash, the expense account (monthly bill) is debited because expenses increase, and Cash Account is credited because cash (asset) decreases.
7Journal entry to record salaries will include: (a) Debit salaries Credit cash. (b) Debit capital Credit cash. (c) Debit cash Credit salary. (d) Debit salary Credit creditors.Show solution
Salary is an expense. When salaries are paid in cash, Salary Account is debited (expense increases) and Cash Account is credited (asset decreases).

1Issued a cheque for ₹8,000 to pay rent. The account to be debited is ...Show solution
Reason: Rent is an expense. When an expense increases, the concerned expense account is debited. Cash/Bank decreases (credit). Hence:
2Collected ₹35,000 from debtors. The account to be credited is ...Show solution
Reason: When cash is collected from debtors, the debtor's obligation is discharged — Debtors Account (asset) decreases, so it is credited. Cash Account (asset) increases, so it is debited.
3Purchased office stationery for ₹18,000. The account to be credited is ...Show solution
Reason: Office stationery is purchased for cash. Cash (asset) goes out → Credit Cash Account. Stationery/Office Expenses Account is debited.
4Purchased new machine for ₹1,70,000 and issued cheque for the same. The account to be debited is ...Show solution
Reason: Machine is an asset. When an asset increases, the account is debited. Payment is made by cheque, so Bank Account is credited.
5Issued cheque for ₹70,000 to pay off one of the creditors. The account to be debited is ...Show solution
Reason: Paying off a creditor reduces the liability. Decrease in liability → Debit the Creditors Account. Bank Account (asset) decreases → Credit Bank Account.
6Returned damaged office stationery and received ₹50,000. The account to be credited is ...Show solution
Reason: When damaged stationery is returned, the stationery (asset/expense) decreases → Credit Office Stationery Account. Cash received → Debit Cash Account.
7Provided services for ₹65,000 on credit. The account to be debited is ...Show solution
Reason: Services are provided on credit, so the client owes money — Debtors Account (asset) increases → Debit Debtors Account. Revenue (Fees/Service Income) increases → Credit Fees Income Account.

1Voucher is prepared for: (i) Cash received and paid (ii) Cash/Credit sales (iii) Cash/Credit purchase (iv) All of the aboveShow solution
A voucher is a documentary evidence prepared for all types of transactions — cash received, cash paid, credit sales, credit purchases, etc. It serves as the basis for recording entries in the books of account.
2Voucher is prepared from: (i) Documentary evidence (ii) Journal entry (iii) Ledger account (iv) All of the aboveShow solution
A voucher is prepared on the basis of source documents (documentary evidence) such as invoices, receipts, bills, cash memos, etc. These documents provide proof of the transaction.
3How many sides does an account have? (i) Two (ii) Three (iii) One (iv) None of TheseShow solution
Every account has two sides — the left side called the Debit (Dr.) side and the right side called the Credit (Cr.) side. This is the basis of the double entry system.
4A purchase of machine for cash should be debited to: (i) Cash account (ii) Machine account (iii) Purchase account (iv) None of theseShow solution
When a machine is purchased for cash, Machine Account (asset) increases → Debit Machine Account. Cash Account (asset) decreases → Credit Cash Account. Note: Purchases Account is used only for goods meant for resale, not for fixed assets.
5Which of the following is correct? (i) Liabilities = Assets + Capital (ii) Assets = Liabilities - Capital (iii) Capital = Assets - Liabilities (iv) Capital = Assets + LiabilitiesShow solution
The fundamental accounting equation is:
Rearranging:
This shows that capital is the residual interest of the owner after all liabilities are paid.
6Cash withdrawn by the Proprietor should be credited to: (i) Drawings account (ii) Capital account (iii) Profit and loss account (iv) Cash accountShow solution
When the proprietor withdraws cash for personal use, Cash Account (asset) decreases → Credit Cash Account. Drawings Account is debited (as drawings reduce capital). The journal entry is:
7Find the correct statement: (i) Credit a decrease in assets (ii) Credit the increase in expenses (iii) Debit the increase in revenue (iv) Credit the increase in capitalShow solution
According to the rules of debit and credit:
- Capital increases → Credit (correct — option iv)
- Assets decrease → Credit (option i is correct in wording but option iv is the stated correct answer per the answer key)
- Expenses increase → Debit (not credit, so option ii is wrong)
- Revenue increases → Credit (not debit, so option iii is wrong)
The correct statement is (iv) Credit the increase in capital, as capital is a liability-type account and increases are recorded on the credit side.
8The book in which all accounts are maintained is known as: (i) Cash Book (ii) Journal (iii) Purchases Book (iv) LedgerShow solution
The Ledger is the principal book of accounts in which all accounts (personal, real, and nominal) are maintained. It is also called the 'Book of Final Entry' or 'Book of Secondary Entry'. Each account has a separate page (folio) in the ledger.
9Recording of transaction in the Journal is called: (i) Casting (ii) Posting (iii) Journalising (iv) RecordingShow solution
The process of recording transactions in the Journal (book of original entry) in a chronological order is called Journalising. Posting refers to the process of transferring entries from the Journal to the Ledger. Casting refers to the totalling of columns.
Short Answer Questions
1State the three fundamental steps in the accounting process.Show solution
Step 1 — Recording (Journalising): Every business transaction is first identified from source documents and recorded in the Journal (book of original entry) in chronological order. This step is called journalising.
Step 2 — Classifying (Posting to Ledger): The recorded transactions are then transferred (posted) to the respective accounts in the Ledger. This groups all transactions of a similar nature together under one account head.
Step 3 — Summarising (Preparing Financial Statements): The ledger accounts are balanced and the balances are used to prepare the Trial Balance, Trading and Profit & Loss Account, and Balance Sheet. This step summarises the financial results and position of the business.
2Why is the evidence provided by source documents important to accounting?Show solution
1. Basis of Recording: Source documents (invoices, receipts, cash memos, vouchers, etc.) provide the original evidence of a transaction and form the basis for recording entries in the books of account.
2. Legal Evidence: They serve as legal proof of a transaction in case of any dispute between parties.
3. Authenticity and Accuracy: They ensure that only genuine transactions are recorded, preventing fraud and errors.
4. Audit Trail: They help auditors verify the correctness of accounting records by tracing entries back to the original documents.
5. Chronological Record: They provide details such as date, amount, parties involved, and nature of transaction, which are essential for proper recording.
Examples of source documents: Cash Memo, Invoice, Debit Note, Credit Note, Pay-in-slip, Cheque, etc.
3Should a transaction be first recorded in a journal or ledger? Why?Show solution
Reasons:
1. The Journal is the book of original (first) entry where transactions are recorded in chronological order as they occur.
2. The Journal provides a complete picture of each transaction in one place — both the debit and credit aspects along with a narration.
3. Recording in the Journal first reduces the risk of errors and omissions because the complete double entry is made before posting.
4. The Journal serves as an audit trail — it is easier to trace and verify transactions.
5. The Ledger is the book of second (final) entry where information from the Journal is classified account-wise through the process of posting.
If entries were made directly in the Ledger, it would be difficult to maintain a chronological record and to detect errors.
4Are debits or credits listed first in journal entries? Are debits or credits indented?Show solution
By convention:
- The account(s) to be debited are written first on the left side, starting from the margin.
- The account(s) to be credited are written below the debited accounts and are indented (written slightly to the right), preceded by the word 'To'.
Example:
*(Being business commenced with cash)*
So, credits are indented (not debits). This format makes it easy to distinguish between the debit and credit aspects of a transaction.
5Why are some accounting systems called double accounting systems?Show solution
Reasons for the name:
1. Every transaction affects at least two accounts — one is debited and another is credited.
2. The total of debits always equals the total of credits for every transaction.
3. This dual recording ensures that the accounting equation (Assets = Liabilities + Capital) always remains balanced.
4. It provides a complete and accurate record of all transactions.
For example, when goods are purchased for cash:
- Purchases Account is debited (one entry)
- Cash Account is credited (second entry)
This dual recording is why it is called the double entry system.
6Give a specimen of an account.Show solution
Name of the Account
| Dr. | | | | Cr. | | | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Date | Particulars | J.F. | Amount (₹) | Date | Particulars | J.F. | Amount (₹) |
| 2017 | | | | 2017 | | | |
| Jan. 1 | To Capital A/c | 1 | 1,00,000 | Jan. 5 | By Purchases A/c | 2 | 40,000 |
| | | | | Jan. 31 | By Balance c/d | | 60,000 |
| | Total | | 1,00,000 | | Total | | 1,00,000 |
Explanation of columns:
- Date: Date of the transaction.
- Particulars: Name of the corresponding account.
- J.F. (Journal Folio): Page number of the Journal from which the entry is posted.
- Amount: The monetary value of the transaction.
7Why are the rules of debit and credit same for both liability and capital?Show solution
Rules (same for both):
- Increase → Credit (right side)
- Decrease → Debit (left side)
Reason:
1. From the business entity's perspective, both liabilities (owed to outsiders) and capital (owed to the owner) are obligations of the business.
2. The accounting equation is: . Both liabilities and capital appear on the right side (credit side) of this equation.
3. When either liability or capital increases, it means the business has received more funds — this is recorded as a credit.
4. When either decreases, funds are being returned — this is recorded as a debit.
Thus, both are treated identically in terms of debit and credit rules.
8What is the purpose of posting J.F numbers that are entered in the journal at the time entries are posted to the accounts?Show solution
1. Cross-referencing: It creates a link between the Journal entry and the corresponding Ledger account, making it easy to trace any entry from the Journal to the Ledger and vice versa.
2. Verification: It helps auditors and accountants verify whether all journal entries have been correctly posted to the ledger.
3. Avoiding Duplication: Once a J.F. number is entered in the ledger, it indicates that the entry has already been posted, preventing double posting of the same entry.
4. Error Detection: If a J.F. number is missing in the ledger, it signals that the posting has not been done, helping detect omissions.
5. Audit Trail: It maintains a complete audit trail, enabling easy tracking of transactions from source documents → Journal → Ledger.
9What entry (debit or credit) would you make to: (a) increase revenue (b) decrease in expense, (c) record drawings (d) record the fresh capital introduced by the owner.Show solution
Revenue accounts have a credit balance. When revenue increases, the revenue account is credited.
(b) Decrease in Expense → Credit
Expense accounts have a debit balance. When an expense decreases (e.g., expense reversed or reduced), the expense account is credited.
(c) Record Drawings → Debit Drawings Account
Drawings reduce the owner's capital. Drawings Account is debited and Cash/Goods Account is credited.
(d) Record Fresh Capital Introduced → Credit Capital Account
When the owner introduces fresh capital, Capital Account (owner's equity) increases → Credit Capital Account. Cash/Asset Account increases → Debit.
10If a transaction has the effect of decreasing an asset, is the decrease recorded as a debit or as a credit? If the transaction has the effect of decreasing a liability, is the decrease recorded as a debit or as a credit?Show solution
A decrease in an asset is recorded as a Credit.
Reason: Assets normally have a debit balance. When an asset decreases, it is recorded on the credit (right) side of the asset account.
Example: When cash is paid out, Cash Account (asset) decreases → Credit Cash Account.
Decrease in a Liability:
A decrease in a liability is recorded as a Debit.
Reason: Liabilities normally have a credit balance. When a liability decreases (e.g., a creditor is paid off), it is recorded on the debit (left) side of the liability account.
Example: When a creditor is paid, Creditors Account (liability) decreases → Debit Creditors Account.
Long Answer Questions
1Describe the events recorded in accounting systems and the importance of source documents in those systems.Show solution
Accounting records business transactions — events that have a monetary value and affect the financial position of the business. These include:
1. External Transactions: Transactions between the business and outside parties, e.g., purchase of goods, sale of goods, payment of expenses, receipt of income.
2. Internal Transactions: Events within the business that affect accounts, e.g., depreciation, outstanding expenses, prepaid expenses, goods used for personal purpose.
3. Financial Events: Events that change assets, liabilities, or capital, e.g., introduction of capital, drawings, loans taken or repaid.
Not all events are recorded — only those that can be measured in monetary terms and affect the financial position.
Importance of Source Documents:
Source documents are the original records (invoices, cash memos, receipts, vouchers, cheques, debit/credit notes) that provide evidence of a transaction. Their importance:
1. Basis of Recording: Every journal entry is made on the basis of a source document. Without it, no entry should be recorded.
2. Legal Evidence: Source documents serve as legal proof in case of disputes between buyer and seller.
3. Authenticity: They ensure that only genuine transactions are recorded, preventing fraud.
4. Audit Verification: Auditors use source documents to verify the accuracy and completeness of accounting records.
5. Chronological Reference: They provide date, amount, parties, and nature of transaction — all essential details for recording.
6. Internal Control: They help management control business operations by providing a paper trail of all transactions.
Examples of Source Documents:
- Cash Memo (for cash sales/purchases)
- Invoice/Bill (for credit transactions)
- Receipt (for cash received)
- Cheque (for bank payments)
- Debit Note (for goods returned by buyer)
- Credit Note (for goods returned to seller)
- Pay-in-slip (for bank deposits)
2Describe how debits and credits are used to analyse transactions.Show solution
- The left side of an account is called the Debit (Dr.) side.
- The right side of an account is called the Credit (Cr.) side.
Rules of Debit and Credit:
| Type of Account | Debit (Dr.) | Credit (Cr.) |
|---|---|---|
| Asset | Increase (+) | Decrease (−) |
| Liability | Decrease (−) | Increase (+) |
| Capital | Decrease (−) | Increase (+) |
| Revenue/Income | Decrease (−) | Increase (+) |
| Expense | Increase (+) | Decrease (−) |
Steps to Analyse a Transaction Using Debits and Credits:
Step 1: Identify the accounts affected by the transaction.
Step 2: Determine the type of each account (asset, liability, capital, revenue, expense).
Step 3: Determine whether each account increases or decreases.
Step 4: Apply the rules — debit the account that increases (for assets/expenses) or decreases (for liabilities/capital/revenue); credit accordingly.
Illustration:
*Transaction:* Purchased goods for cash ₹20,000.
- Accounts affected: Purchases Account and Cash Account.
- Purchases → Expense → Increases → Debit Purchases A/c.
- Cash → Asset → Decreases → Credit Cash A/c.
*Transaction:* Sold goods on credit ₹15,000.
- Accounts: Debtors Account (Asset ↑ → Debit) and Sales Account (Revenue ↑ → Credit).
This systematic analysis ensures that the accounting equation always remains balanced.
3Describe how accounts are used to record information about the effects of transactions.Show solution
An account is a summarised record of all transactions relating to a particular item (person, asset, liability, income, or expense). It is maintained in the Ledger.
Format of an Account (T-Format):
Every account has two sides:
- Left side = Debit (Dr.) side
- Right side = Credit (Cr.) side
| Dr. | Name of Account | Cr. |
|---|---|---|
| Date \| Particulars \| J.F. \| Amount | | Date \| Particulars \| J.F. \| Amount |
Types of Accounts:
1. Personal Accounts — Accounts of persons, firms, companies (e.g., Ramesh A/c, Bank A/c).
2. Real Accounts — Accounts of tangible and intangible assets (e.g., Cash A/c, Building A/c, Goodwill A/c).
3. Nominal Accounts — Accounts of expenses, losses, incomes, and gains (e.g., Salary A/c, Sales A/c).
How Accounts Record Transaction Effects:
1. When a transaction occurs, it is first journalised.
2. The journal entry identifies which accounts are debited and which are credited.
3. The amounts are then posted to the respective accounts in the ledger.
4. Each account accumulates all debits on the left and all credits on the right.
5. At the end of the period, the account is balanced — the difference between total debits and total credits gives the balance of the account.
6. These balances are used to prepare the Trial Balance and Financial Statements.
Example: Cash Account records all cash receipts (debit side) and all cash payments (credit side). The balance shows cash in hand.
Thus, accounts provide a classified, summarised record of the financial effects of all transactions on each item of the business.
4What is a journal? Give a specimen of journal showing at least five entries.Show solution
A Journal is the book of original (first) entry in which all business transactions are recorded in chronological order (date-wise) as they occur. The process of recording transactions in the journal is called Journalising. Each entry in the journal is called a Journal Entry and consists of:
- Date of transaction
- Name of accounts debited and credited
- Journal Folio (L.F.) number
- Amount (Dr. and Cr.)
- Narration (brief explanation)
Specimen of Journal:
| Date | Particulars | L.F. | Dr. Amount (₹) | Cr. Amount (₹) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2017 | | | | |
| Jan. 1 | Cash A/c   Dr. | | 1,00,000 | |
| |   To Capital A/c | | | 1,00,000 |
| | *(Being business commenced with cash)* | | | |
| Jan. 3 | Purchases A/c   Dr. | | 40,000 | |
| |   To Cash A/c | | | 40,000 |
| | *(Being goods purchased for cash)* | | | |
| Jan. 5 | Furniture A/c   Dr. | | 10,000 | |
| |   To Cash A/c | | | 10,000 |
| | *(Being furniture purchased for cash)* | | | |
| Jan. 8 | Ramesh A/c   Dr. | | 25,000 | |
| |   To Sales A/c | | | 25,000 |
| | *(Being goods sold to Ramesh on credit)* | | | |
| Jan. 10 | Salary A/c   Dr. | | 5,000 | |
| |   To Cash A/c | | | 5,000 |
| | *(Being salary paid to staff)* | | | |
| | Total | | 1,80,000 | 1,80,000 |
5Differentiate between source documents and vouchers.Show solution
| Basis | Source Documents | Vouchers |
|---|---|---|
| Meaning | Original documents that provide evidence of a business transaction. | A document prepared internally by the business on the basis of source documents to authorise recording of a transaction. |
| Origin | Received from or given to outside parties (external). | Prepared internally within the business (internal). |
| Purpose | To provide proof/evidence of a transaction. | To authorise the recording of a transaction in the books of account. |
| Examples | Invoice, Cash Memo, Receipt, Cheque, Debit Note, Credit Note. | Debit Voucher, Credit Voucher, Transfer Voucher. |
| Preparation | Prepared by the party to the transaction (buyer/seller). | Prepared by the accountant/cashier of the business. |
| Basis | They are the primary evidence. | They are prepared on the basis of source documents. |
| Legal Status | Have higher legal value as they come from external parties. | Have lower legal value as they are internal documents. |
In summary: Source documents are the original external evidence of transactions, while vouchers are internally prepared documents that authorise the recording of those transactions in the accounting books.
6Accounting equation remains intact under all circumstances. Justify the statement with the help of an example.Show solution
Justification:
Every business transaction affects at least two accounts, and the dual effect always keeps the equation balanced. The equation can be affected in the following ways:
1. Both sides increase equally.
2. Both sides decrease equally.
3. One side increases and decreases by the same amount (no net change).
Illustration:
Let us take the following transactions:
(a) Started business with cash ₹2,00,000:
- Cash (Asset) ↑ by ₹2,00,000; Capital ↑ by ₹2,00,000
(b) Purchased goods for cash ₹40,000:
- Goods (Asset) ↑ by ₹40,000; Cash (Asset) ↓ by ₹40,000
(c) Purchased furniture on credit ₹7,000:
- Furniture (Asset) ↑ by ₹7,000; Creditors (Liability) ↑ by ₹7,000
(d) Sold goods (cost ₹10,000) for ₹12,000:
- Cash (Asset) ↑ by ₹12,000; Goods (Asset) ↓ by ₹10,000; Capital ↑ by ₹2,000 (profit)
In every case, the equation remains balanced. Hence, the accounting equation remains intact under all circumstances.
7Explain the double entry mechanism with an illustrative example.Show solution
The double entry system is based on the principle that every business transaction has two aspects — a debit aspect and a credit aspect — and both must be recorded simultaneously. For every debit, there is an equal and corresponding credit.
Basis: The accounting equation must always remain balanced.
Rules of Double Entry:
| Account Type | Debit | Credit |
|---|---|---|
| Asset | Increase | Decrease |
| Liability | Decrease | Increase |
| Capital | Decrease | Increase |
| Revenue | Decrease | Increase |
| Expense | Increase | Decrease |
Illustrative Example:
Suppose Ravi starts a business with the following transactions:
(1) Introduced cash ₹1,00,000 as capital:
- Cash (Asset) increases → Debit Cash A/c
- Capital increases → Credit Capital A/c
(2) Purchased goods for cash ₹30,000:
- Purchases (Expense) increases → Debit Purchases A/c
- Cash (Asset) decreases → Credit Cash A/c
(3) Sold goods on credit to Mohan ₹20,000:
- Mohan/Debtors (Asset) increases → Debit Mohan's A/c
- Sales (Revenue) increases → Credit Sales A/c
(4) Paid rent ₹2,000:
- Rent (Expense) increases → Debit Rent A/c
- Cash (Asset) decreases → Credit Cash A/c
In each transaction, the total debit equals the total credit, maintaining the balance of the accounting equation. This is the essence of the double entry mechanism.

Note on (c): Bhanu is a debtor but cash is received → Cash increases by ₹12,000; Goods decrease by ₹10,000; Profit of ₹2,000 increases Capital.
Verification:
*Wait — re-reading (c): goods sold to Bhanu (debtor) for ₹12,000. So Debtors = ₹12,000, Cash does not increase.*

Note: The answer given in the book shows Cash = ₹1,21,200. Let us recheck (e): Prepaid insurance — cash paid ₹1,000 reduces cash and creates prepaid insurance (asset). Cash = 1,20,000 − 10,000 + 5,000 − 1,000 + 700 + 7,000 = 1,21,700. The book answer shows ₹1,21,200 which may account for a slight variation. Our calculation gives ₹1,21,700.

*Note: This negative balance suggests the business may have used bank funds. Let us recheck — Dec. 22 cash deposited ₹20,000 into bank means cash decreases. Cash = 92,000 + 20,000 − 60,000 − 20,000 − 20,000 − 3,000 − 7,000 − 3,000 = −1,000. This seems like an error in the question data. Students should note this discrepancy.*

(b) Rajasthan (inter-state): IGST = 12% × 1,00,000 = ₹12,000
(c) Sudhir, Punjab (inter-state): IGST = 18% × 1,50,000 = ₹27,000
(d) Railway Transport, Delhi (intra-state): CGST = 5% × 10,000 = ₹500; SGST = 5% × 10,000 = ₹500
(e) Sidhu, Delhi (intra-state): CGST = 9% × 1,20,000 = ₹10,800; SGST = 9% × 1,20,000 = ₹10,800
(f) AC for office, Delhi (intra-state): CGST = 9% × 60,000 = ₹5,400; SGST = 9% × 60,000 = ₹5,400
(g) Sunil, UP (inter-state): IGST = 18% × 1,50,000 = ₹27,000
(h) Motor Cycle, Delhi (intra-state): CGST = 14% × 50,000 = ₹7,000; SGST = 14% × 50,000 = ₹7,000
(i) Broadband, Delhi (intra-state): CGST = 9% × 4,000 = ₹360; SGST = 0% × 4,000 = ₹0
