Explanation:

  1. Purchase Account (Debit):

    • The purchase account is debited to record the increase in the cost of goods acquired. This is in line with the fundamental accounting principle of debiting expenses and losses.

  3. To Cash Account (Credit):

    • The cash account is credited as payment is made in cash. This aligns with the principle of crediting assets when they decrease. In this case, cash is an asset that decreases because it is used to purchase goods.

  4. Narration:

To see a practical example, check out this journal entry for the purchase of goods for Rs.30,000."

It reflects the dual aspect of accounting, ensuring that the accounting equation remains balanced. The purchases account reflects the increase in expenses, and the cash account reflects the decrease in assets.
