“Agree the breakdown of finished goods, work?in?progress and raw materials disclosed in the financial statements to the account codes within the nominal ledger.”
Q1-ma’am why will we record assets, like inventories, in nominal account? Would not they go in Real account? General ledger is meant for SPL transactions(income and expenses I mean).
Q2- what is the difference between personal account and real account? I know its an F3 level doubt, but plsssssss if you don’t mind answering maam…
Q3- maam i don’t quite get this procedure, can you explain its application in real life with an example if possible?
July 26, 2021 at 8:22 am #629449Are you confusing words “nominal” “real” as used in the context of interest rates?
In accounting there is one “general” ledger – which historically was called the “nominal” ledger – the old term is still used not not so much.
There is no such thing as “real” account.
“Personal” accounts are generally used for unincorporated business – sole traders and partnerships – for separating out from business transactions those which are the owners’/proprietors’/partners’.
