Answer:

1.Total debits must equal total credits

5.You can post to multiple accounts receivable and/or accounts payable accounts in the same journal entry

Explanation:

A Journal entry follows the concept of double-entry. In the double-entry principle, a debit entry equals a credit. After posting all the required entries total debits are equal to the total credits.

in recording the credit sales or purchases multiple receivable or payable accounts can be used and a single entry of sales of purchases can be posted against these accounts. For example
