Question
Tom's flower shop purchased 35 pots of flowers valued at $30,000. Tom's flower shop was required to pay the debt in three weeks. Which of the following double entries is correct? 答案及選項: A. Debit trade payable account……Credit purchases account B. Debit purchases account……Credit cash account C. Debit cash account……Credit purchases account D. Debit purchases account……Credit trade payable account
Solution
The correct double entry for this transaction would be:
D. Debit purchases account……Credit trade payable account
Here's why:
When Tom's flower shop purchases the pots of flowers on credit, it is increasing its purchases (an expense) and also increasing its trade payables (a liability).
In double-entry bookkeeping, a debit entry is made to reflect an increase in expense. So, we debit the purchases account to reflect the increase in expense due to the purchase of the flowers.
On the other hand, a credit entry is made to reflect an increase in liability. So, we credit the trade payable account to reflect the increase in liability due to the credit purchase.
Therefore, the correct double entry is: Debit purchases account……Credit trade payable account.
