video is looking at how to record a cash
sale
first of all a sale can be described as
a goods or services sold to a customer

are cash sales and credit cells in this

because this type is the most common
type out of the two a cash sale is where
goods or services were sold to a
customer and the customer pays by cash
or any other payment method at the time
of sale when there is a cash sale of
stock or inventory we enter the credit
entry in the sales t account and the
corresponding debit entry will be in the
bank or cash t account let's now look at
