Accounting Transaction » Identifying Elements effected & Account Types

|
Your ability in accounting is directly proportional to your ability in analysing a transaction. The better your analysis, the greater your ability. Through the analysis you need to identify the two elements affected by the transaction and should be able to state the nature of the two elements..
We write down a lot of explanation in the initial stages of the learning process just to create an understanding relating to each transaction. All that can be eliminated and only the final answer need be considered.

• Payee name irrelevant in Recording Expenses Incurred
The amount paid to Mr. Murugan is towards the rent of the shop and therefore it would result in the organisational expenditure on rent increasing by Rs. 2,000. Though it is given to Mr. Murugan, the shop owner, it should not be interpreted as cash paid to Mr. Murugan. The information relating to the expenditure on account of rent is normally recorded using the account head Rent Paid a/c.
However, the payee name would be considered where an outstanding amount has been recorded earlier

• Cash Purchase of Machinery
Machinery being a tangible aspect is an asset. The information relating to machinery is identified using the account head Machinery a/c. Since it is an asset/tangible aspect it is a Real account. The fact that Machinery has been purchased from M/s Boolani Machinery is irrelevant here since there is no time gap between the transactions of purchase of machinery and payment for it.
Since a cheque is issued, the amount available in the bank is reduced and not cash. Therefore Bank a/c is affected by the transaction.
