Question

    Which of the following book is both a journal and a ledger?

    A Cash Book Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Sales Day Book Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Bills Receivable Book Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Journal Proper Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    A Cash Book serves as both a journal and a ledger because it records all cash transactions (both receipts and payments) in chronological order, similar to a journal. Additionally, it also acts as a ledger since it maintains a running balance of cash on hand or in the bank, which is a ledger-like function. This dual role makes the Cash Book a unique accounting record.
