1.Jeanette is the only accountant working in a small retail shop. Each afternoon she goes down to the sales area and removes the cash from the two cash registers. She counts the money and prepares a Cash Summary Form showing the cash received. She then takes the cash to the local bank and deposits it into the business bank account. Upon returning to her office, she records the cash received in the Cash Receipts Journal and posts the amounts to the General Ledger.

Then he returns to the journal and, all at one time, writes the account numbers in the post. Ref. column of the journal. Mike Lowell also does the accounting work for his business. When posting, he writes all the account numbers in the Post. Ref. column of te journal before he transfers any information to the accounts. is Mr. Brady of Mr. Lowell following the correct procedure?”

Thankyou

The entries in the Accounts Receivable Credit column of the cash receipts journal must be posted _____________________ to the accounts in the accounts receivable subsidiary ledger and in _____________________ to the control account in the general ledger.

Let’s say I have a small business and I ordered $15000 from a Vendor. I don’t have the cash to pay the vendor, so I charge it on a Business Credit Card. Now the $15000 in products will be used as inventory- My question is, How will I record that in my general ledger? And if I pay off the credit card, how will that be shown in my general ledger? Please help…
