Give the journal entry (FOR FULL CREDIT ALWAYS GIVE JOURNAL ENTRIES IN PROPER FORM: see Hints/FAQ tab for guidelines) when a building is purchased for $20,000 cash & a notes payable for $40,000:

1. Both the account title AND dollar amount being credited MUST be indented to show right vs. left.
2. The total dollar amount being debited MUST equal the total dollar amount being credited.
3. Do NOT use the $ sign or the words "debit" or "credit" as this is evident when you use proper form.
4. Line up the BEGINNING of your account titles & END of dollar amounts being debited vs. those being credited.
CORRECT FORM: Equipment 20,000
Cash 1,000
Common Stock 21,000 line up names/dollar amounts being credited vs. debited
