- -
such a record, ledger accounts are prepared. Therefore, the Cash Book is a subsidiary
- -
-
book. But the Cash Book itself serves as the cash account and the bank account; the

5) True: If the bank column is showing the opening balance on credit side, it is an overdraft
(unfavourable balance)
6) False: Cash book records only cash transactions
7) False: Discount column of cash book records the cash discount. Trade discount is not
shown in the books of accounts.
8) False: The balance in the Cash Book shows cash in hand.

These columns are not balanced but are only totalled.
10) False: The balance in the Petty Cash Book represents the cash balance lying with the
Petty Cashier.
11) False: Petty cash is real account & current asset, and it is shown on asset side of the
