3. ACCOUNTING PROCESS AND RECORDS
▲ Accounting records are any listing or book which records the transactions of a business in a logical manner. This is achieved by the use of books of prime entry and the Ledger.
Journals ( Journal is one of the books of prime entry) is a detail diary in which the transactions of each day are recorded. They are used as an initial ‘store’ of information of the business transactions prior to storing the information in the ledger accounts.

16. Carriage Inwards and Carriage Outwards
Carriage refers to the costs of transporting goods to and from the firm.
From the buyer’s point of view, the delivery charge would he referred to as “carriage inwards”. Any such carriage charges should be debited to the carriage inwards account in the general ledger.
The carriage inwards account is written off to the trading account at the end of the accounting period.

17. When the buyer sells the goods to his customer, he incurs further delivery charges. This cost is referred to as ‘carriage outwards”. These costs are debited to the carriage outwards account in the general ledger.
Any carriage outwards charges are usually included in an item called ‘selling and distribution costs”.   Since this cost is incurred after the goods have been made ready for sale, the account is written off to the profit and loss account at the end of the accounting period.
Each type of carriage will be an expense and therefore will have a debit balance in the trial balance. However, these two carriages will appear in different sections of the trading and profit and loss account.

18. Accounting Treatment of Carriage Inwards and Carriage Outwards
Journal  Entry for Carriage Inwards:
Debit   Carriage Inwards
Credit    Bank
Journal  Entry for Carriage Outwards:
Debit   Carriage Outwards
Treatment in Trading, Profit and Loss Accounts:
Carriage inwards Trading account expense
Carriage outwards Profit & loss account expense

19. Summary:
Carriage inwards is connected with the cost of getting goods into the business and ready for sale. As a result, it will be added on in the calculation for the cost of goods sold. Carriage outwards does not have anything to do with the cost of getting goods into saleable condition. Therefore it will appear with all the other overhead expenses in the profit and loss account.
Good to know:
Nowadays, the price quoted for goods being purchased will usually be inclusive of any delivery charge, and so a separate charge for carriage inwards (or outwards) is not very common. In cases where separate carriage inwards charges are incurred, the cost should be added on to the cost of purchases in the trading account. Consequently, a proportion of carriage inwards charges should be added to the purchase cost when determining the cost of closing stock.

20. Drawings
Are the money or goods that the owner of the business is taking out of the company (draws) for his own personal use. The Drawings account is always debited and the account affected is credited. At the end of the year the drawings account goes to Capital Account and reduces it.
If the owners takes cash out of the business:
Journal  Entry:
Debit   Drawings a/c
Credit    Cash/Bank
If the owners takes goods out of the business:
Debit   Drawings a/c
Credit    Purchases a/c

25. 3. Stock Turnover = Cost of Sales / Stock= ……times
Indicates how rapidly inventory is being sold.  Usually, the faster inventory is sold, the more profitable the firm will be.  Firms with rapid turnover might include grocery stores, donut shops, etc.  A larger inventory turnover number is usually preferred over a smaller number.

26. 4. Net Profit to Sales Ratio
