Study Notes
Recording Transactions in Special Journals
- Special journals record specific, repetitive transactions, unlike general journals which record all types.
- This increases efficiency by dividing labor and reducing recording time.
- Posting to the general ledger is minimized in special journals, making information easier to obtain and analyze.
- Special journals are more economical as they reduce the time spent on transactions.
- They are used to record specific transactions only, and in tabular form.
Types of Journals
- General Journal: Records all types of business transactions chronologically.
- Includes sales returns, purchase returns, adjusting entries, correcting entries, amortizations, investments (other than cash), and other non-repetitive transactions.
- Disadvantage: Only one person can use the books at a time, and numerous postings to the general ledger are required for similar transactions.
- Special Journals: Record specific types of transactions, such as sales on account or cash receipts.
- Advantages: Permits division of labor, reduces recording time, minimal posting to the general ledger, easier to obtain information, faster analysis, and more economical.
- Examples: Sales Journal (sales on account), Purchases Journal (purchases on account), Cash Receipts Journal (all cash receipts including cash sales), Cash Payments Journal (all cash payments).

- Accounts receivables can include amounts due from customers for sold goods or services.
Accounting for Bad Debts
- Allowance method: Estimates bad debts based on past experience, recording an allowance for doubtful accounts.
- Methods: Using percentage of sales for calculating bad debts; using percentage of accounts receivables for calculating bad debts.
- Estimating based on past company experience is essential for the allowance method to accurately reflect the value of accounts receivable.
- Bad debts are estimated and recorded to accurately reflect the value of accounts receivable.
