Which of the following statements accurately describes the nature of accounting books?
A cash book serves a dual purpose in accounting.

In which book of original entry should a cash sale of an investment at par value be recorded?
The cash book is a book of original entry used to record all cash receipts and cash payments. Since the transaction involves the receipt of cash from the sale of an investment, it must be recorded in the cash book. Other books like the purchase book or sales return book are reserved for specific credit transactions, making the cash book the appropriate place for this entry.

Who is primarily responsible for the preparation and maintenance of the business cash book?
The cash book is an internal accounting record used by a business to track all cash and bank transactions. It is the responsibility of the business's accountant or bookkeeper to ensure that all receipts and payments are accurately recorded, balanced, and reconciled with bank statements. The bank does not prepare the business's internal cash book; they only provide the bank statement.
