Read the following hypothetical situation, answer question nos. 9 and 10.
Business transactions only are recorded in the accounting books of a firm and no other transaction that happens in the day to day functioning of the business. Now the question arises what exactly are business transactions? To answer this basic question we need to see that the transaction fulfils the basic criteria. First one being the transaction should be an economic activity, that is it should create an income for the firm or an expense for it. Like we can say that the payment of salary to the staff is a business transaction but persuading a customer to buy a product or hiring a staff for that matter is not a business transaction.
Secondly, the transaction should change the financial position of the firm, that is it should either raise the income of the firm or create debt for the firm. For example, even if the goods are bought on credit, increasing creditors of the firm, it is a business transaction as it is creating a debt for the firm. But obviously,praising a staff for his work to sell the product at a better profit, is not termed as business transaction although it motivates the employee but does not result in changing the financial position of the firm.
