Chapter 6 Dual Impact of Transactions

Each transaction leads to change two items in the accounting equation. This is called as the dual impact of a

transaction. The accounting system, which records the same amount in debit and credit sides of accounts, is

called as the double entry system.

Account is used to record the change (increase or decrease) of an asset, an equity, a liability, an

income or an expense for a time period.

A collection of all accounts is called as the ledger.

Discounts A discount is the deduction from the value of a transaction.

Trade Discount is a deduction from the listed price.

Trade discounts are not recorded in accounts; only the net value after deducting the trade is

recorded in purchases/ sales accounts.

Purchased goods for Rs. 100 000 subject to 10% trade

discount. Calculate the net value of goods purchased.

Sold goods for Rs. 50 000 subject to 10% trade discount.

Calculate the net value of goods sold.

Listed price = 100 000

Trade discount amount: 100 000 x 10% = (10 000 )

Net value of goods purchased = 90 000

Petty cash book. is the prime entry book in which petty cash payments are recorded.

Petty cash book is maintained by the petty cashier, who is under the main cashier.

Source document of petty cash book is Petty cash payment voucher.

Like the cash book, the petty cash book also performs a dual function. (performs both functions

of a prime entry book and a ledger account )

Petty cash imprest is a specific amount of cash given to the petty cashier by the main cashier to

make petty cash payments.

* This is to make the petty cash payments with a control.

Duty of the petty cashier is to make petty cash payments out of the petty cash imprest.

Reimbursement of petty cash imprest is the amount equivalent to the payments made at that

time, given to the petty cashier to reimburse the imprest.

Imprest = Balance + Reimbursement

Reimbursement = Last month total expenses

Reimbursement = Last month total expenses + Increase of imprest

Rs.

Imprest 01/01/18 ------> 2 000

Total expenses in January ------> (1 800)

Balance as at 31/01 or 01/02 ------> 200

Reimbursement as at 01/02 ------> 1 800

Total expenses in February ------> (1 900)

Balance as at 31/01 or 01/03 ------> 100

Reimbursement as at 01/03 ------> 1 900

Activity 04 Sarasi Co. Ltd. maintains a petty cash book under a petty cash imprest system. As at 01st
