Transferring the auxilliary journals to the ledger

ACTIVITY 1:

To transfer the auxiliary journals to the ledger

[LO 3.3]

Once the entries in the auxiliary journals have been completed, all the information is transferred to the ledger.

The column totals of the CRJ are transferred on the last day of the month and the entries in the sundries column are transferred individually on the date of the entry.

Cash received by a service enterprise is transferred as follows to the CRJ:

1. Bank account – debit with the total cash received (Asset increases on the debit side).

2. Current Income account – credit with the total for the month (Ownership interest increases on the credit side).

3. Capital account – credit with the capital amount deposited (Ownership interest increases on the credit side).

The names of the other accounts involved appear in the “details” column of the ledger.

In the case of the bank account - capital and current income (total receipts)In the case of the capital account - bankIn the case of the current income account - bank
