DTosanwumi International ₦150,000, credit credit Account ₦150,000
Answer is B
We can assume that a credit purchase invoice was issued by the supplier, Tosanwumi International, which would be signed by Mr. Roi as evidence of his acceptance of liability to pay for the goods.
Hence, the two accounts needed to record this transaction are purchase account and Tosanwumi Account. This involves having the purchase account debited while the Tosanwumi International Account credited.
