Under which of the following situations, is journal entry not passed in the books of the drawer?

A. When a discounted bill is honoured by the drawee on the due date
B. When a bill is sent to the bank for collection
C. When a bill is renewed at the request of the drawee
D. When a debtor accepts a bill drawn by the drawer

A. When a discounted bill is honoured by the drawee on the due date, A. no journal entry
is passed in the books of the drawer. The entry is passed at the time of discounting of the bill itself and no entry is required if the discounted bill is honoured on due date. Hence, A. is the correct answer. The other alternatives are incorrect because, when a bill is sent to the bank for collection B. a journal entry debiting bills sent to bank for collection and crediting Bills Receivable is passed. When a bill is renewed at the request of the drawee C. a journal entry is passed canceling the old bill and raising a new bill with interest. When a debtor accepts a bill drawn by the drawer D. when a debtor is converted to bills receivable and debtors balance is reduced and Bills Receivable account is increased to extent of the amount passing a journal entry to that effect. Thus, A. is the correct answer
