Journal is used because of the following advantages:
• A journal contains a permanent record of all the business
transactions.
• The journal provides a complete chronological (in order of the
time of occurrence) history of all business transactions and
the task of later tracing of some transactions is facilitated.
• A complete information relating to one single business
transaction is available in one place with all its aspects.
• The transaction is provided with an explanation technically
called a narration.
• Use of the journal reduces the possibility of an error when transactions are first recorded in this book.
• The journal establishes the quality of debits and credits for a stransaction and reconciles any problems. If a business
purchases a bicycle, it is necessary to decide whether the
bicycle represents ordinary goods or machinery. Further any
amount paid is debited to bicycle account and credited to
cash account.
