selling of goods on credit to a customer

withdrawal of goods by the proprietor for his personel use
C
cheque paid directly into the bank account by a customer
D

Ask EduPadi AI for a detailed answer
Correct Option: C
A cheque payment is recorded in the cash book when the cheque is despatched. The bank only records such a cheque when it is paid by the bank, which may be several days later. Items such as interest may appear on the bank statement but are not recorded in the cash book as the business is unaware that they have arisen.
