1 The individual accounts receivable ledger accounts provide business managers information on the
status of individual customer accounts, which is necessary for managing collections Managers need
to know which customers owe money, how much they owe, and how long the amount owed has been outstanding
2 The major advantages of the use of special journals are substantial savings in record-keeping
expenses and a reduction of record-keeping errors

5 a Sometime following the end of the current month, one of two things may happen: (1) an overdue
notice will be received from Kelly Co., and/or (2) a letter will be received from Kelley Co., informing the buyer of the overpayment (It is also possible that the error will be discovered at the time of making payment if the original invoice is inspected at the time the check is being written.)
b The schedule of accounts payable would not agree with the balance of the accounts payable
account The error might also be discovered at the time the invoice is paid
c The creditor will call the attention of the debtor to the unpaid balance of $800.
d The error will become evident during the verification process at the end of the month The total
debits in the purchases journal will be less than the total credits by $3,600

7 An electronic form is a software window that provides the inputs for a particular transaction For
example, a check form provides the inputs (payee, amount, date) for a cash payment transaction An electronic invoice provides the inputs (customer, amount sold, item sold) for recording revenues earned on account
8 The use of controlling accounts to verify the accuracy of subsidiary accounts is used in a manual
system In a computerized system, it is assumed that the computer will accurately sum the individual transactions in the subsidiary accounts in determining the aggregate balance
9 For automated systems that use electronic forms, the special journals are not used to record original
transactions Rather, electronic forms capture the original transaction detail from an invoice, for example, and automatically post the transaction details to the appropriate ledger accounts
10 E-commerce can be used by a business to conduct transactions directly with customers Thus, an
order can be received directly from the customer’s Internet input and cash can be received from the credit card Many times, the cash is received prior to actually shipping the product, resulting in a faster revenue/collection cycle Reducing paperwork throughout the cycle also improves the
efficiency of the process For example, all of the accounting transactions can be fed automatically from the initial Internet-based inputs

c Happy Tails Inc uses a subsidiary ledger for accounts payable to track its credit purchases and payments to the individual supplier This is needed so that it
knows how much it owes to each individual supplier Without the subsidiary
ledger, it would be difficult for it to accurately pay suppliers for the amount
owed in a timely manner.

accounting system In addition, special journals are not normally used to
accumulate transactions Transactions are recorded through data input
into electronic forms (or for infrequent transactions, by an electronic general
journal) Balances of affected accounts are automatically posted and updated from the information recorded on the form If desired, the computer can provide
a printout of the monthly transaction history for a particular account, which
provides the same information as a journal In addition, the controlling account
is not separately posted In a manual system, separate posting to the
controlling account provides additional control by reconciling the controlling
account balance against the sum of the individual customer account balances However, in a computerized accounting system, there are no separate
postings to a controlling account because the computer is not going to make posting or mathematical errors Therefore, there is no need for the additional control provided by posting a journal total to a controlling account.
