Credit note is the basis for recording a transaction in which of the following journals? A. Purchase Journal B. Sales return journal C. General journal D. Cash receipt journal

Purchase Journal
Sales return journal
General journal
Cash receipt journal

The correct answer is: B. Sales return journal.

A credit note is a document issued by a seller to a buyer to acknowledge the return of goods or the cancellation of a sale. It is used to reduce the amount owed by the buyer to the seller.

A sales return journal is a book of original entry used to record sales returns. It is a subsidiary ledger to the accounts receivable ledger.

The other options are incorrect because:

  • A purchase journal is used to record purchases of goods or services.
  • A general journal is used to record all transactions that do not fit into any other specific journal.
  • A cash receipt journal is used to record cash receipts.

I hope this helps!
