You are the owner of a small retail store that sells electronics such as smartphones, tables, and peripherals. Your business currently has just a few vendors and most of your purchases are transacted on credit. Sales are primarily in cash. Your goal is to grow your small business and to achieve this goal, your supplier base will increase significantly in order to meet the demand you expect. Most sales will continue to be in cash. However, you have been approached by local companies that wish to purchase products from your business on credit. Presently, you record all transactions in the general journal and the general ledger but wonder if you will be able to continue doing so once your business volume increases as you expect.
