5. Bank Reconciliation Statement is a statement prepared by Bank

Explanation

The given statement is false. A Bank Reconciliation Statement is not prepared by the bank, but rather by the account holder. It is a statement that compares the bank's records of the account with the account holder's records, in order to identify any discrepancies or differences between the two. This statement helps in ensuring that both the bank and the account holder have accurate and up-to-date records of the account's transactions.

6. Cheques deposited in to bank are recorded on which side of the bank column of Cash Book.?

Explanation

Cheques deposited in to bank are recorded on the debit side of the bank column of the Cash Book. This is because when a cheque is deposited, it increases the bank balance, which is an asset. In the Cash Book, assets are recorded on the debit side, hence the cheques deposited are also recorded on the debit side.

7. Interest allowed by Bank is recorded on which side of the bank column of Cash Book.?

Explanation

Interest allowed by the bank is recorded on the debit side of the bank column of the Cash Book.

Therefore, it is recorded as a debit entry, indicating an increase in the account balance.

Submit

When cheques are issued but not encashed by the bank, it means that the bank owes the money to the person or organization to whom the cheques were issued. Therefore, this transaction should be recorded on the credit side of the bank column in the cash book. This reflects an increase in the bank's liability to pay the amount mentioned in the cheques.

Submit
9. Insurance premium paid by bank is recorded on which side of the Pass  Book.?

Explanation

The insurance premium paid by the bank is recorded on the debit side of the Pass Book. This is because the payment of the insurance premium is an expense for the bank, and expenses are recorded on the debit side of the accounting books.

Explanation

A debit balance in the Pass book means a negative balance.

In other words, the account holder has more liabilities or expenses than assets or income, resulting in a negative balance.

Submit
12. Bank credits firm's account as soon as it receives cheques from the firm

Explanation

The statement is false because banks do not credit a firm's account as soon as they receive cheques from the firm. Instead, banks typically take some time to process and verify the cheques before crediting the account. This process may involve checking the validity of the cheque, ensuring sufficient funds are available, and verifying the signature. Only after these checks are completed will the bank credit the firm's account with the amount stated on the cheque.
