Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The sales journal is used to record sales made on credit, so it would have a debit to accounts receivable (to record the amount owed by the customer) and a credit to sales (to record the revenue earned by the company). Therefore, option D is the correct choice. Option A is incorrect because it only shows the debit and credit accounts, without specifying the amount. Option B is incorrect because it includes a debit to cash, which is not relevant to the sales journal. Option C is incorrect because it includes a credit to cost of goods, which is also not relevant to the sales journal.
