163. Discuss the process of posting from a revenue journal to the subsidiary ledger and to the general ledger.

ANSWER:   Each transaction is posted individually to customer accounts in the accounts receivable subsidiary ledger.  This should be done on a regular basis to keep customer balances current.

To provide a trail of the entries posted to the subsidiary and general ledgers, the source of the entries is indicated in the Posting Reference column by inserting the letter R for revenue journal and the page number of the revenue journal.

A check mark is inserted in the Posting Reference column to indicate that the transaction has been posted to the subsidiary ledger.

At the end of the month, the column total is posted to the general ledger as a debit to Accounts Receivable and a credit to Fees Earned. This total is equal to the sum of the month’s debits to the individual accounts in the subsidiary ledger.

168. Explain what subsidiary ledgers are and give examples of three types of subsidiary ledgers that a business might use.

ANSWER:   A subsidiary ledger groups a large number of accounts with a common characteristic together.  Each subsidiary ledger is summarized in the general ledger by a controlling account. Most commonly, companies use accounts receivable and accounts payable subsidiary ledgers to detail individual customer or vendor accounts. Businesses often use subsidiary ledgers to keep track of equipment purchased, its location, and other equipment data.

190. Explain whether each of the following would usually be used in a computerized accounting system and why or why not.

1. Special journals

2. Accounts receivable control accounts
3. Electronic invoice form
4. Month-end postings to the general ledger

ANSWER:   Special journals and accounts receivable control accounts are generally not used in computerized systems. Instead, electronic forms like electronic invoice forms are used to record original transactions. Since the computer automatically posts transactions from electronic forms to the general ledger and individual accounts at the time the transactions are recorded, month-end postings are not necessary in a computerized system.

191. The discovery and correction of errors is important in a computerized system. What kinds of errors might occur in these systems?  What type(s) of errors will be prevented in a computerized system?

ANSWER:   Potential errors:

1. Failing to record transactions.

2. Recording a transaction more than once.

3. Recording a transaction in incorrect accounts.

4. Entering an incorrect number in both the debit and credit parts of the transaction.

With a computerized system, you cannot process a transaction unless debits equal credits.  Additionally, you cannot post to the wrong account, as posting occurs automatically.
