Debit cash 77,000; debit land 144,000; common stock 221,000 will VC Consulting make to record this transaction.

Explanation:

The General Journal is the business publication in which all activities that have been held by the company, such as a purchase document, selling journal, cash journal, etc, not been registered in any of its specialist papers.

There are two different accounts, called credit and debits, for all transactions. Therefore, if a transaction is reported in a document, one account is debited and the other paid.

For example: if a business buys an inventory of $5000 using currency. An entry would be made in the report, which decreases cash account by $5,000 and raises the product account by $5,000.
