Entries contain account names, not descriptions of what happened. What account are you going to post "To Share Purchase" in? Because that isn't an account name.

Someone also already gave you the answer to this one.

Why "Other Income"? This is his main source of income and therefore would be his main revenue account, not "other" as though it were some miscellaneous thing. Like Service Revenue. If the problem provides account names for you, use whatever they do.


Two things: One, that's a description again "To Income from Business" is not the name of an account. Second, this is the same thing as Sept 10 so you're also being inconsistent. They are both going to be the same name, whether you call it Service Revenue or something else. You cannot change the name every time there is income.

Um... "Job Work" is also not an account name. Actually, if I saw that, I would think that was a revenue account, which would never be debited. You did another job. Where do you put jobs when you do them? The same place as Sept 10 and Sept 17. In all three cases, the work has been completed and earned, and therefore goes into the earnings account as a credit. Again, stop changing the name every time.

As for the Creditors - that's who you owe to. Does he owe someone else for work he has done? Going to go broke real quick that way. Who owes whom?


Wages EXPENSE. The work "expense" is important because it tells you what kind of account it is, for instance, that is isn't Wages Payable. And ditto on the electricity.


Again, creditors are the ones you owe, not who owe you. On the 23rd you credited this account and now you're crediting it again. So even if that were the correct account (which it's not), you wouldn't credit going in and credit coming out. Those are opposites.

There's no sense trying to deal with the ledger accounts until this is corrected. But I also am not following what you are doing in the accounts.

But I can tell you some things wrong. First, put them in order properly, starting with cash, like you always see in the account lists. They're in that order and together by type so that people can find them. Theoretically the date should be Sept 30. The balances will carry into October, but you have to finish up September first. You are using some account names that are different than your journal entries -- the journal entries should use the proper ledger account name, and that's the account you post to. Don't go around changing them. You're also missing accounts.

Also look at your post and notice that columns don't stay.
