Title: Simple, Compound and complex Journal entry
Post by: MD. ABDUR ROUF on November 06, 2016, 09:47:54 AM
Simple Journal:
A simple journal entry has one debit and one credit head or element. For example: invested tk. 10,000 in his business.
                 Cash       10,000   
                     Capital              10,000
Compound journal:
A compound journal entry is an accounting entry which effects more than two account heads. A compound journal entry may combine two or more debits and a credit, or a debit and two or more credits, or two or more of both debits and credits. For example: Invested cash Tk. 10,000 and Equipment Tk.20,000  in his business.
         Cash                 10,000   
         Equipment       20,000   
               Capital              30,000

Complex Journal:
A complex journal entry is a journal entry involving more than 3(three) account heads or elements in which there are multiple debits and multiple credits. For example: Purchased office furniture Tk.30,000, machinery Tk.20,000 and supplies Tk.15,000 by paying cash Tk.10,000 and balance issuing a note.
         Office Furniture       30,000   
         Machinery               20,000   
         Supplies                 15,000   
                       Cash                          10,000
                       Note payable             55,000
