Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies two key accounting queries. Firstly, it explains how to record sales entries based on the accrual basis, meaning revenue is recognised when earned, not necessarily when cash is received. Secondly, it provides a practical example of calculating foreign exchange gains or losses that arise from transactions in foreign currencies due to fluctuating exchange rates.

You should show the sale entry on 28.1.21

When Credit Sales

28-01-2021  Sruthi  A/C Dr (Under head - Sundry Debtors )

                    To Sales A/C (Under head - Direct Income)

             (Being Goods sold to Sruthi  Invoice. No.......... Dated.....)

When receive payment 

01-02-2021            Cash/Bank A/C Dr

                               To Sruthi A/C 

                (Being Cash Received against Invoice. No......... Dated........) 

When Cash Sales 

01-02-2021                     Cash A/C Dr

                                       To Sales A/C

                  (Being Cash Received against Invoice. No......... Dated........) 

Accrual Basis Concept :-

Revenues are recorded when earned.

Expenses are recorded when incurred.

                                       *********************************************

Foreign Exchange gain & loss :-

Foreign Exchange gain & loss occur when purchase/sales of goods in foreign currency due to currency difference (Fluctuating) .

Purchasing Equipment from GBP 7000/- worth.

Rate - GBP to USD 1.30

USD 1.30 (7000 x 1.30 = 9100/-)

Purchase of Equipment

Equipment A/C Dr 9100/-

To Supplier A/C   9100/-

When payment

Rate GBP to USD 1.25

USD 1.25 (7000 X 1.25 = 8750/-)

Currency Difference 9000 minus 8750 = 350/-

Supplier A/C Dr 9100

To Foreign Exchange Gain A/C 350

To Bank A/C                                 8750
