CHAPTER 4
REVIEW QUESTIONS
1. The flow of accounting information from source documents to trial balance includes the following
steps:
a. Analyze what has happened by using the chart of accounts and information from the source
documents.
b. Enter the business transactions in the general journal.
c. Post entries to the accounts in the general ledger.
d. Prepare a trial balance.
2. Examples of source documents are as follows (students are required to list only one):
a. Cash payment—check stub or carbon copies of checks.
b. Cash receipt—receipt stubs, carbon copies of receipts, cash register tapes, or memos of cash
register totals.
c. Sale of goods or services—copies of sales tickets or sales invoices issued to customers or
clients.
d. Purchase of goods or services—purchase invoices received from suppliers.
3. The purpose of a chart of accounts is to list and classify all the accounts used by a business.
4. The five types of financial statement items for which it is ordinarily desirable to keep separate
accounts are assets, liabilities, owner’s equity, revenues, and expenses.

5. The first formal accounting record of a business transaction is usually made in the journal, which is
called a book of original entry.
6. The four steps required to journalize a business transaction in a general journal are as follows:
Step 1: Enter the date.
Step 2: Enter the debit.
Step 3: Enter the credit.
Step 4: Enter the explanation.
7. The accounts are placed in the ledger in the same order as in the chart of accounts, in numeric
order grouped by classification.
8. The primary advantage of a general ledger account is that it maintains a running balance.
9. The five steps required when posting the journal to the ledger are as follows:
In the ledger account:
Step 1: Enter the date of each transaction in the Date column.
Step 2: Enter the amount of each transaction in the Debit or Credit column.
Step 3: Enter the new balance in the Balance columns under Debit or Credit. If the balance of the
account is zero, draw a line through the Debit and Credit columns.
Step 4: Enter the page number of the journal from which each transaction is posted in the Posting
Reference column.
In the journal:
Step 5: Enter the account number in the Posting Reference column of the journal for each
transaction that is posted.
10. As an amount is posted to the proper account in the ledger, the appropriate account number is
entered in the Posting Reference column of the journal.
11. If a journal entry was debited or credited to the wrong account(s), or if an item was posted to the
wrong account, the ledger will still be in balance.
12. A slide occurs when debit or credit amounts “slide” a digit or two to the left or right when entered.
An example of a slide is if $250 was entered as $25.
13. A transposition error occurs when two digits are reversed (for example, if $520 was entered as
$250).
14. The ruling method of correcting an error is to draw a line through the incorrect account title or
amount and write the correct information directly above the line. The correction is then initialed so
the source and reason for the correction can be traced.
15. If an incorrect entry has been journalized and posted to the wrong account, a correcting entry must
be made. This is called the correcting entry method.

112 CHAPTER 4
1. The method of entering information into the accounting system is based on a double-entry
framework. This means that every transaction will affect at least two accounts. Some accounts will
be debited and others will be credited. The sum of the debits must equal the sum of the credits for
every transaction. This process will keep the accounting equation in balance.
The double-entry framework helps ensure that complete information on each transaction is entered.
If only the increase in the asset is recorded, valuable information on why an asset increased is lost.
Cash could have increased because the business borrowed the money, sold another asset, earned
the money by providing a service, or received an additional investment by the owner. Thus, the
debit to Cash must be offset, or explained, by a credit to some other account.
2. The accounting system is based on a simple accounting equation (Assets = Liabilities + Owner’s
Equity) that must remain in balance as each transaction is recorded. This means, for example, that
an increase in an asset must be offset by a decrease in another asset, an increase in liabilities, or
an increase in owner’s equity.
3. The trial balance provides a check of whether the sum of the debits equals the sum of the credits. If
the columns of the trial balance are not equal, an error has been made. The following errors are
possibilities:
a. Making a math error in the trial balance, or in the ledger accounts.
b. Failing to post all debits and credits to the ledger accounts.
c. Failing to enter all debits and credits in the journal.
d. Posting a debit as a credit, or a credit as a debit.
e. Entering different amounts for the debits and credits.
(This list is not intended to be all inclusive. It should be interesting to read about other errors
that the students suggest.)
4. Tips for finding errors are specifically addressed in the text. They include the following:
a. Double check your addition.
b. Find the difference between the debits and the credits.
(1) If the difference is equal to the amount of a specific transaction, perhaps you forgot to post
the debit or credit portion of this transaction.
(2) Divide the difference by 2. If a debit were posted as a credit, it would mean that one
transaction had two credits and no debits. The difference between the total debits and
credits would be twice the amount of the debit that was posted as a credit.
(3) Divide the difference by 9. If the difference is evenly divisible by 9, you may have
committed a slide error or a transposition error.
