Solution
First of all you and other reader should learn about the meaning of PDC Cheque.
Meaning of PDC Cheque
PDC Cheque means post dated cheque. In USA it is called Post-Dated Check. In banking, post-dated or PDC refers to checks or cheque which have been written for a date in the future. In above example, XYZ company purchased Furniture and issued.
Journal Entry of PDC Cheque
On 25-5-2010
No need to enter any post date cheque in journal as payment because your supplier will get money on 1-10-2010. You just have to enter the journal entry of furniture purchased on credit. No need to do any journal entry in the books of Furniture house. Furniture house will just enter the journal entry of furniture sold on credit.
On 1-10-2010
you will pass
Furniture A/C Dr.
Bank Cr.
Furniture house will pass
Bank Account Dr.

Or use any good accounting software and when software, when you have to deal the PDC cheque, you have just click the post dated option and pass the voucher entry in 25-5-2010, you will see that balance sheet of 1-5-2010 to 30-9-2010 will not show above and on 1-10-2010, it will automatically show the effect of post dated voucher entry in balance sheet on 1-10-2010 which we already passed in 25-5-2010. That's simple. I see you in next problem's solution. Ok.
