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.
