The correct answer is: C. Sales return book
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 book is a book used to record sales returns. It is a subsidiary ledger to the sales ledger. The sales return book is used to track the following information:
- The date of the return
- The customer’s name and address
- The invoice number
- The description of the goods returned
- The quantity returned
- The reason for the return
- The amount of the credit note
The sales return book is used to calculate the total amount of sales returns for a period. This information is then used to adjust the sales account in the general ledger.
The other options are incorrect because:
- A sales book is used to record sales.
- A purchase book is used to record purchases.
- A purchase return book is used to record purchase returns.
