The correct answer is: D. Compound entry

A compound entry is a journal entry that affects two or more accounts. It is called a compound entry because it is made up of two or more simple entries.

A simple entry is a journal entry that affects only one account. It is called a simple entry because it is made up of only one debit and one credit.

For example, if you buy a car for $10,000, you would make a compound entry that would debit the Cash account and credit the Accounts Payable account for $10,000.

The other options are incorrect because:

  • Double entry is a system of accounting in which every transaction affects at least two accounts.
  • Multi entry is not a term used in accounting.
  • Additional entry is not a term used in accounting.
