Cevap

Debit Drawings account 15,000\text{₦}15,000 and Credit Purchases account 15,000\text{₦}15,000
When an owner withdraws goods for personal use, the business must reduce the cost of purchases available for resale at cost price. The correct entry is to debit Drawings (to track owner withdrawals) and credit Purchases (to reduce total cost of sales) by 15,000\text{₦}15,000.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Determine the valuation price for owner drawings of inventory
The goods must be recorded at cost price (15,000\text{₦}15,000), because an entity cannot record a profit on goods consumed by its owner.
According to accounting principles, withdrawals are valued at cost to eliminate unrealized profit.
2
Identify the account to debit
Debit Drawings account with 15,000\text{₦}15,000.
Drawings represent resources taken out by the owner, which reduces owner's equity.
3
Identify the account to credit
Credit Purchases account with 15,000\text{₦}15,000.
Crediting Purchases reduces total cost of goods purchased for resale during the trading period.
