    Mar. 2 Sold merchandise costing $300 to B. Fager for $450 cash, invoice no. 5703.

    19 Sold used store equipment for $900 cash to Malone, Inc.
    25 Sold merchandise costing $350 to T. Burton for $550, terms n30, invoice no. 5706.
    Prepare headings for a sales journal like the one in Exhibit 7.5. Journalize the March transactions that should be recorded in this sales journal.

    Please let me know if I have journalized the accounts correctly

    The sales journal should only consist of
    Mar 2, 7, 12, and 25 transaction with account receivable dr. sales cr. Totaling 2470 / with cost of goods sold dr. inventory cr. Totalling 1650

    In the account receivable ledger I have the same dates listed
    Mar 2 Dr. 450 Balance 450
    7 Dr. 1150 Balance 1150
    12 Dr. 320 Balance 320
    25 Dr. 550 balance 550

    In the General Ledger

    Acct Rev. dr. 2470 bal 2470
    Inventory cr. 1650 1650
    Sales cr. 2470 2470
    COGS dr. 1650 1650

    First of all, can you please explain why you are passing entry

    cost of goods sold dr.1650
    inventory cr.1650

    I think we need not to pass entries for costing part, as these are automatically handled by puchase ledger and costing deptt.

    In financial accounting the sale transaction is recorded with sale value and no other transaction is required to be made. Since we have not given in the question that the inventory is first purchased and then sold.

    It is always assumed that the goods are sold from the stock.

    Please let me know, what are you thinking while you journalize that entry.
