Ledger
Learning Objectives
To understand the term ledger

To understand the rules of posting
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.

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.

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.
