Questions: Which transactions are recorded in the accounting system?
Transcript text: Which transactions are recorded in the accounting system?
Solution
The answer is the third one: Both external exchanges and internal events.
Explanation for each option:
Internal events only: This option is incorrect. While internal events, such as the use of supplies or depreciation of equipment, are recorded in the accounting system, they are not the only transactions recorded.
External exchanges only: This option is also incorrect. External exchanges, such as sales to customers or purchases from suppliers, are indeed recorded in the accounting system, but internal events are also recorded.
Both external exchanges and internal events: This option is correct. The accounting system records both external exchanges (transactions with outside parties) and internal events (transactions that occur within the organization). This comprehensive recording ensures that all financial activities affecting the organization are captured and reported.
In summary, the accounting system records both external exchanges and internal events to provide a complete picture of an organization's financial activities.
