Multiple choice questions on accounting: 1. Which is NOT a correct representation of the accounting equation? 2. What is the source document for a cash payment made by cheque? 3. What does an invoice

here are the answers to the multiple-choice questions:

QUESTION 1
The fundamental accounting equation is Assets = Liabilities + Proprietorship (or Owner's Equity). We need to identify the option that is not a correct representation or rearrangement of this equation.

• A. Proprietorship = Assets - Liabilities (Correct rearrangement)
• B. Assets = Liabilities - Proprietorship (Incorrect. This would imply that assets are less than liabilities by the amount of proprietorship, which contradicts the fundamental equation.)
• C. Liabilities = Assets - Proprietorship (Correct rearrangement)
• D. Assets = Liabilities + Proprietors (Correct, this is the fundamental equation) The correct option is B. Assets = Liabilities - Proprietorship.

QUESTION 2
A cash payment journal records all cash outflows from a business. The source document that provides the details for a cash payment made by cheque is the cheque butt, which is the stub left in the chequebook after a cheque is written.
The correct option is D. cheque butt.

QUESTION 3
When the owner of a business receives an invoice, it means that the business has been billed for goods or services. This typically occurs when goods have been received on credit, meaning the business has incurred a liability to pay the supplier at a later date.
The correct option is C. Received goods on credit from the supplier.

QUESTION 4
In a trading business, inventory refers to the goods that the business holds for sale to customers. Another common term for inventory, especially in British English, is stock.
