Purchases on account
There are two account titles in the column of the purchases journal because if a purchase is made for cash, the transaction is not recorded in the purchases journal.
You would credit the customer account and debit bad debt.
When goods are returned from a customer, the journal entry typically involves debiting the Sales Returns and Allowances account to reflect the decrease in sales revenue and crediting the Accounts Receivable or Cash account, depending on how the original sale was recorded. For example, if the return involves a credit to the customer's account, the entry would be: Debit: Sales Returns and Allowances Credit: Accounts Receivable This entry effectively reverses the sale and acknowledges the return of goods.
An dishonored cheque is typically recorded in the journal by debiting the bank account and crediting accounts receivable or the customer's account. This reflects the reversal of the payment that was previously recorded when the cheque was received.
