Purchase of office equipment for cash will be recorded on which side of a cash book? A. Receipts B. Payments C. Incomes D. Expenditures

Receipts
Payments
Incomes
Expenditures

The correct answer is B. Payments.

A cash book is a book of original entry used to record all cash receipts and payments. It is a two-column book, with one column for receipts and one column for payments.

Purchase of office equipment for cash is a payment, so it would be recorded in the payments column of the cash book.

The other options are incorrect because:

  • Receipts are cash received by the business.
  • Incomes are the profits or earnings of the business.
  • Expenditures are the costs or expenses of the business.
