Explanation:

The general journal is used to record transactions as they occur while the general ledger records details about each account and summarizes the balances at the end of the accounting period into the trial balance.  Accounting records are based on the double-entry system and follow the accounting equation of Assets = Liabilities + Equity.  Every business transaction  at Pina Corporation involves two or more accounts.  One or two are debited or credited, as the case may be.
