Use the Week 2 Assignment Template Preview the documentto complete this week’s work.

Additionally, you’ve decided to expand your client list by offering credit terms. You’ve learned the importance of properly accounting for your receivables by using the Accounts Receivable subsidiary ledgers.

Before taking on new clients, you need to create an A/R subsidiary ledger account for your existing credit client: Speedy Freight. The terms originally offered were net 30. Speedy Freight’s address is 123 Elm Street, Mytown, YS 10011. To keep things simple, their existing balance as of January 1 is already entered.

Proper journalizing and posting:

Make sure to record each transaction the appropriate journal and make any necessary posts to the subsidiary ledger daily. At the end of the month, properly total the sales and purchases journal columns and post to the general ledger. (Remember: any entries to the general journal are post immediately).

Create schedules for Accounts Receivable:

Create a schedule of accounts receivable and a schedule of accounts payable. Confirm that the total in each schedule matches the balance in your general ledger accounts.
