Chloe Sanderson, a friend of yours from business school, decided to be her own boss and start a business cleaning homes and offices after graduation. Although she was a general business major in college, she always enjoyed accounting; but she’s a little uncertain about what type of accounting system might be best for her fledgling business. She has already hired two employees to work for her, so she would like your help as soon as possible to set things up correctly.
Chloe already has three clients and two vendors, so she’d like to use two subsidiary ledgers: one for accounts receivable and one for accounts payable.
In addition, since would like to streamline her accounting by using four special journals she recalls from business school: a revenue journal, cash receipts journal, purchases journal, and cash payments journal.
Using what she remembers from business school, Chloe has prepared a list of accounting tasks for her business, and would like you to review it.
Determine whether each item should be on a given list. If so, select “Correct.” If not, select “Error,” choosing the correct list for the item.
Chloe has prepared the table below, showing the balances as of August 16 for her Accounts Receivable Subsidiary Ledger and Accounts Payable Subsidiary Ledger.

Accounts Payable Subsidiary Ledger Balances
You’ve received a list of the remaining August transactions from Chloe.
Review the transactions, and then complete the table to give Chloe instructions on how to enter the transactions in her accounting system, using the following abbreviations. The transactions should be entered without considering end-of-month posting of totals, adjusting entries, or closing entries..
Now that the remaining August transactions have been entered, Chloe feels confident enough to complete the end-of-month totals and posting.
Help Chloe finish her accounting for the month by calculating the amounts below.
