Answer Details

The entry to record the purchase of goods for resale on credit costing ₦150,000 from Tosanwumi International on 30th September 20X8 is: Debit: Purchase Account ₦150,000 Credit: Tosanwumi International Account ₦150,000 This means that the Purchase Account is debited with the value of the goods purchased on credit, while the Tosanwumi International Account is credited for the same amount, representing the amount owed to the supplier. The Purchase Account is a nominal account that is used to record the cost of goods purchased for resale or for use in the business. The Tosanwumi International Account is a personal account, specifically a creditor account, used to record the amount owed to Tosanwumi International for the goods purchased on credit. This entry follows the double-entry bookkeeping system, which requires that every transaction has equal debits and credits. The debit entry represents the increase in expenses, while the credit entry represents the increase in liabilities, specifically accounts payable to the supplier.
