Solution

(1) Person who maintains petty cash book- Petty Cashier

Explanation:
A petty cashier is the person who is appointed or who is authorised to make payments of petty cash expenses and record them in the Petty Cash Book. Petty cash expenses include small payments, such as postage, conveyance etc. that are very small in amount but occur very frequently in a business.

(2) A bank account which the businessman prefers to open- Current Account

Explanation:
Current A/c is opened by a trader/businessman who has a higher number of regular transactions with a bank. It includes deposits, withdrawals and contra transactions. A bank provides overdraft facility to a trader on the current account. The current account is maintained by a business because a business has various transactions on a daily basis.

(3) Petty cash book in which the payment side is ruled in suitable columns-Analytical Petty Cash Book

Explanation:
In this type of Petty Cash Book, on the payment (credit) side, a separate column is provided for each class of common expenses. The number of columns depends on the nature of business and type of expenses. A small business will need lesser columns and a large business needs more columns. Expenses that cannot be designated to any class of expenses are entered in the column named sundry expenses.

(4) Subsidiary book in which only credit purchase of goods is recorded- Purchase Book

Explanation:
All credit purchases of goods are recorded in the Purchases Book. Only credit purchases of goods are recorded in the Purchases Book and not the cash purchases. Goods mean those things that are purchased or produced for resale in a business. Any purchase of assets is not recorded in the Purchases Book. For example, if a business deals in cloth, credit purchase of cloth will be recorded in the Purchases Book, but purchase of furniture, which is an asset, will not be recorded in the Purchases Book.

(5) Subsidiary book in which return of goods sold on credit is recorded- Sales Return Book

Explanation:
Sales Return Book is the subsidiary book in which the return of goods sold on credit is recorded. It is also known as the Returns Inward Book. When goods are returned, a credit note is prepared and sent to the party who returned the goods. The party’s account is credited with the amount mentioned in the credit note. Thus, return of goods sold on credit is recorded in the Sales Return Book.

(6) Book in which cash discount received and allowed is recorded- Journal Proper

Explanation:
When the Journal is sub-divided into various subsidiary books, such as Sales Book, Purchases Book etc., the Journal becomes the residuary book in which only those transactions are recorded that cannot be recorded in any other subsidiary book. This type of Journal is called Journal Proper. The following types of entries are recorded in Journal Proper:
a. Opening entry
b. Closing entry
c. Transfer entries
d. Rectification entries
e. Adjustment entries
f. Miscellaneous entries such as discount received, bad debts written off etc.
Thus, cash discount received or allowed is recorded in the Journal Proper.

Explanation:
Rectification entries are recorded in the Journal Proper in order to rectify the errors committed at the time of journalising, posting, totaling, balancing etc.

(8) A note issued by buyer to seller giving full details of goods returned- Debit Note

Explanation:
