THREE COLUMN CASH BOOK CASH AND BANK

Cash: Involves money kept in the office.

Bank: The rest of money not in cash account. Kept in the current account of the bank (not in fixed deposit account).

Bank Overdraft: A loan made to a customer with a cheque account at a bank in which the account is allowed to go into debit, usually up to a specified limit.

DISCOUNTS

There are two types of discounts recorded in cash book:

Sales Discount:

A reduction in the sales-invoice amount that the customer can take if the payment is made within a specified period of time. If the customer pays after the discount period, the entire amount of the invoice is due in a longer period of time. A sales discount is really disguised interest.

Purchase Discount: The amount that a purchaser can deduct from the invoice cost of items bought on credit because of payment within a certain time period.

CASH BOOK

Cash book are of three types:

Simple Cash Book:

Only actual cash transactions are recorded in this book. It is exactly like cash account. On the debit side of cash book we record cash coming in or cash received so it is also known as Receipts side. On the credit side of cash book we record cash going out or cash paid so it is also known as payment side.

Double Columnar Cash Book:

There are two amount columns – cash and discount in this cash book. Discount column on the debit side is called discount allowed and discount column on the credit side is called discount received. Discount column should never be balanced as discount column of debit side is an expense and discount column on credit side is an income. Discount column will never have an opening or closing balance.

Triple Columnar

Cash Book: There are three amount columns: (1) Cash (2) Bank (3) Discount All cash and bank transactions are recorded in this book
