This document contains 20 multiple choice questions testing knowledge of accounting information systems concepts from chapter 2, including the basic transaction cycle, common accounting documents, journals, ledgers, and coding schemes. Specifically, it asks about the subsystems that make up the basic transaction cycle, how expenditure transactions typically occur, the documents used to capture transaction data, what type of document results from transaction processing, what a journal is used for, the purpose of a general journal versus special journal, what type of file contains past transaction records, what a ledger reflects, the difference between a subsidiary ledger and general ledger, what a journal voucher is, and different types of coding schemes like sequential codes, block codes, group codes, and mnemonic codes.
