Accounting journal entries?

I am assuming this question is asking what Accounting journal entries are? Each of a firm's transactions are recorded in journals. Each major transaction is recorded in the General Journal, where various repetitive transactions are recorded in special journals, with the totals translated into the General Journal later. These journal entries are the basis for the General Ledger, the Trial Balance, and the Financial Statements. There are two components to any journal entry: Debits and Credits. Whenever you debit accounts in your journal entry, you must credit other accounts for an equal amount. Your total debits should always equal total credits. As an example, these are what the journal entries for the sale of inventory to a customer might look like. Part 1 - The Inventory was sold to an outside customer for $100. Debit: Cash $100 Credit: Revenue $100 Part 2 - The Cost of the Inventory credited to the books Debit: Cost of Goods Sold $75 Credit: Merchandise Inventory $75

In what journal should you list a telephone expense?

This could be one of two Journals, for the most part, a General Journal is where the entry goes, however, many companies choose to use subsidiary journals in order to keep accounts more organized and may set up a Subsidiary Expense Journal, in which case the telephone expense would be listed in that subsidiary journal along with all other expenses and the General Journal would only show a total for all expense accounts while the subsidiary journal would break each expense account down into more detail.So either the General Journal or a Subsidiary Expense Journal (depending on the company)
