Which of the following is a 'Non-Voucher' transaction?
A. Depreciation entry
B. Cash purchase with receipt
C. Cash sale with cash memo
D. Bank deposit with pay-in slip

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Depreciation is a non-cash transaction and does not involve a source document like invoice; it's recorded via journal voucher but is not an external voucher. But the term 'non-voucher' might refer to transactions without a supporting document. Depreciation entry has no source document, so it's often a journal entry. The question is ambiguous but likely pointing to depreciation as a non-cash transaction without physical voucher. Answer A.
