Accounting treatments:
Purchas of goods for cash
ABC Security Limited purchased security instruments for cash from the BM Equipment
Limited for a cash of $10,000. The evidence required for entering this transaction is the sales
invoice raised by the BM Equipment and the cash receipt issued by them.
To record this transaction Equipment account is to be debited by $10,000 and the cash
account is to be credited by $10,000. Hence, a fixed assets account will be increased and a
current assents account will be decreased.
Providing services for cash
ABC Security Limited provided security services to XYZ housing society on an event for
cash of $5,000. The source document required for recording the transaction is the invoice raised
to the XYZ housing and the cash receipts issued to the XYZ housing.
For the above transaction the cash account is to be debited by $5,000 and the service
revenue account is to be credited by $5,000. Therefore, an assets account will be increased and a
revenue account will be increased in contrast.

December 2019 on account for an amount of $15,000. To record this transaction the invoice

The state electricity provider raised a bill for the last month of an amount of $500. Hence, to
record this transaction the electricity bill raised by the state electricity company is needed.
To record this transaction, the electricity expenses account will be debited and the
electricity payable account is to be credited. Hence, an expenses account will be increased and a
current liability account will be increased.
Payment of previously recorded expenses
Paid electricity bill for the last month to the state electricity company for an amount of
$500. The receipt issued by the state electricity company is needed for recording this transaction

an amount of $15,000. The cash receipts issued to the company is needed as an evidence for

books of accounts, then the accounts receivable account will be overstated and the cash account
will be understated. There will be no impact on the total assets as the transaction involves both
the current account. Therefore, the trial balance will not be affected at all.
