    To know the meaning of trial balance

    Introduction

    The purpose of journal entry is to record the entries in the books of account. To know the

    balance on each account at the end of the period, a summary of all transactions relating

    to one account is necessary and this is done in the ledger. Thus, the activity of

    classifying, summarizing and grouping is done in the ledger.

    Ledger

    Ledger is the principal book of accounts which contains various accounts. An account is

    a summarized record of similar transactions during an accounting period relating to a

    particular person or thing. Therefore, all the accounts, whether real, nominal or personal,

    are collected in the ledger.

    Ledger shows the net effect under one particular head relating to the similar transactionthat has taken place in a particular period. For example, if a business person wants to

    know the total sales for a particular period, he/she will have to do a great deal of

    searching to go through all the transactions of cash sales and credit sales recorded in the

    journal to find out the total sales. This task is simplified by sorting and accumulating all

    similar transactions relating to a particular account head and consolidating them in one

    account maintained in the ledger. This will help in knowing the effect of the relevant

    account at a glance. Hence, it becomes possible to find out the figures of purchases, sales

    and net amount payable and receivable from particular individuals during a period

    immediately by referring to the ledger.

    In the case of a large organization where a large number of accounts are required to bemaintained, three separate ledgers are maintained. These are as follows:

    1. Debtors ledger: Containing all the dealings with customers on credit

    2. Creditors ledger: Containing all the dealings with suppliers on credit

    3. General ledger: All the remaining accounts, i.e. real and nominal accounts

    The accounts in the ledger are maintained in the following T form. Each account is

    divided into two sides-- the left hand side representing the debit side and the right hand

    side representing the credit side. Each side of the ledger has columns detailing date,

    particulars, folio and amount.

    Sometimes, the ledger is also maintained in the running account form as shown below:

    Posting

    Posting means the process of transferring all the debit and credit items from the journal

    onto the accounts maintained in the ledger. Each amount entered in the debit column of

    the journal is posted by entering it on the debit side of the account in the ledger with

    relevant details. Similarly, each amount entered in the credit column is posted by

    entering it on the credit side of the account in the ledger with relevant details.

    The procedure of posting is as follows:

    1. Enter the debit aspect of the transaction entered in journal on the debit side of the

    account in the ledger with all the relevant details in the respective column.

    2. In the folio column of the journal, the page number of the ledger in which posting is

    done is entered.

    3. Now enter the credit aspect of the transaction in the journal on the credit side of the

    account in the ledger with all the relevant details in the respective column.

    4. The entering of the folio number on the corresponding page, as explained in the point

    number two above, is to be repeated in the case of credit item.5. It is customary to prefix the name of the account credited and entered on the debit

    side of the account in the ledger with word To.

    6. Similarly, the name of the account debited and entered on the credit side of the

    account in the ledger is prefixed with By.

    It may be noted that the words To and By do not have any special meaning. Hence,

    the prefix can be conveniently ignored as done by modern accountants.

    Balancing of Ledger Account

    The totals of the debit side and credit side of an account are taken to ascertain thedifference between the two sides. This difference is known as the balance on the account.

    The total of the heavier side is entered on the lighter side for arriving at the balance.

    When the total of the debit side exceeds the total of the credit side, the balance is said to

    be in debit, i.e. known debit balance. When the total of the credit side exceeds the total of

    the debit side, it means that the account has a credit balance. The balancing of the

    account is necessary to ascertain the net effect whether debit or credit on the account.

    Problem

    Journalize the following transactions, post them to ledger and balance the accounts:

    Subsidiary Books of Accounts

    A journal is divided into separate books for the sake of convenience and to enable the

    handling of numerous transactions of repetitive nature. This facilitates easy working and

    curtails down the voluminous work involved in the posting and entering of each

    transaction in the journal and ledger. All similar transactions pertaining to one particularclass are recorded in one particular book. For example, all transactions relating to credit

    purchases of goods are recorded in one book known as the Purchase Day Book.

    Similarly, all transactions relating to credit sales of goods are recorded in the Sales Day

    Book.

    The names of subsidiary books are as follows:

    1. Cash book: To record all transactions in cash or by cheques. Cash book may also be

    of two columns.

    2. Petty cash book: To record all cash transactions of petty expenses.

    3. Purchase day book: To record all transactions of goods purchased on credit.4. Sales day book: To record all transactions of credit sales of goods.

    5. Purchase return book: To record all transactions relating to return of goods to

    suppliers.

    6. Sales return book: To record all transactions relating to return of goods by the

    customers.

    7. Bill receivable book: To record all transactions relating to bill receivables.

    8. Bill payable book: All transactions relating to the acceptance of bills are recorded in

    this book.

    9. Journal proper: In journal proper, all transactions other than those recorded above are

    recorded.

    With regard to entering the transactions in the above books, it is necessary to note the

    following points:

    1. Goods

    Goods can be defined as those items in which the business concern is dealing. It also

    means the stock in trade of the business which is purchased with the intention of resale

    after conversion or otherwise at a profit.

    2. Purchase

    Purchase means goods purchased for resale. In other words, it means all goods purchased

    for resale or for the purpose of conversion into goods for resale. It does not include

    purchase of assets or stationery. It is an error of principle to record purchase of assets or

    stationery in the purchase day book.

    3. Sales

    Sales can be defined as the sale of goods forming stock in trade in which the business

    concern is dealing. It does not include sale of assets etc. It is an error of principle to

    record the sale of assets in the sales day book.

    Cash Book

    Cash book is of various types. These are as follows:

    1. Simple cash book

    2. Cash book with book column3. Cash book with bank and discount column

    4. Multi-column cash book

    Simple Cash Book

    Only cash receipts and cash payments are recorded in this book. It is just like a ledger,

    with left side being the debit side and right side being the credit side. Excess of debit side

    over the credit side represents balance of cash in hand. Similarly, the cash book opens

    with opening cash in hand as the opening entry on the debit side.

    2. Two Columnar Cash Book

    Two columnar cash book contains an additional column for the purpose of entering

    transactions relating to bank. All transactions regarding deposits of cash and cheques,

    and payment by cheques and withdrawals in cash are entered in the bank column.

    3. Three Columnar Cash Book

    Three columnar cash book contains an additional column for entering the discount

    amount paid and received on account of various transactions. This column dispenses

    with the opening of discount column in the ledger.

    4. Multi-Columnar Cash Book

    Multi-columnar cash book contains various columns for recording the transactions of

    receipts and payments under various heads of accounts. This cash book is used more inschools, colleges, hospitals, government offices etc.

    There is no need of opening cash account in the ledger as the cash book serves the

    purpose of cash account. However, other accounts which are affected by cash receipts

    and payments are posted in the concerned accounts in the ledger.

    Petty Cash Book

    In any business, a number of transactions are of petty nature involving petty payments. If

    the main cash book is used for this, the recording becomes voluminous and heavy,

    involving considerable wastage of time. Hence, a petty cash book is maintained in whichall the petty expenses like postage, refreshment, stationery, cartage etc. are recorded.

  • 8/13/2019 18925376-AF1NotesLecture-05

    8/15

    Petty cash book can also have analytical columns for recording the expenses head wise.

    This enables easy posting in the ledger since petty payments are grouped and recorded

    head wise under different columns.

    Purchase Book

    In this book, all credit transactions only relating to the purchases of goods in which the

    business is dealing in is recorded. Therefore, purchase of furniture, machinery or other

    assets purchased on credit are not recorded in this book.

    Purchase Return Book

    The purchaser may return the goods which are purchased on credit if he finds these to be

    defective or if they are not as per specifications. Such returns are entered in the returns

    outward book or purchase returns book. It may be noted that only those transactions

    which relate to the goods in which the business is dealing in are recorded in this book.

    Sales Book

    In this book, all the credit sales transactions relating to the goods dealt with by the

    business are recorded. If furniture, machinery or other assets are sold on credit, they are

    not recorded in this book.

    Sales Return Book

    In this book, the return of goods which have been earlier sold on credit is recorded. This

    book is also known as returns inward book. Only the transactions relating to the goods

    dealt with by the businessmen are recorded.

    Bill Receivable Book

    The bills which have been drawn by the businessman but accepted by the other party are

    known as bill receivable and are entered in this book.

    Journal Proper

    If a transaction is such that it cannot be recorded in any of the books mentioned above, itis recorded in a book called journal proper. If a transaction is not related to cash book,

    petty cash book, purchase book, purchase return book, sales book, sales return book, bill

    receivable book or bill payable book, it is recorded in journal proper. Such transactions

    may be related to opening entries, closing entries, transfer entries, rectification entries,

    adjusting entries or miscellaneous entries.

    Opening Entries

    Every year new books of accounts are used. Old books are closed at the end of the year.

    When balances of personal and real accounts of old books are recorded in the new

    accounting year on the first day in new books, these entries are called opening entries.
