Answer:

B) May 15: debit Accounts Receivable-J. Anthony $1,900, A. Martin $4,900, S. Lee $1,300; credit Service Revenue $8,100

Step-by-step explanation:

  • customer J. Anthony ⇒ $1,900
  • customer A. Martin ⇒ $4,900
  • customer S. Lee ⇒ $1,300

total sales reported during May 15 = $8,100

A subsidiary ledger account is an individual account set for a specific client that is part of a general ledger account. In this case, the individual ledger accounts are part of the accounts receivable account.

You can record each transaction individually or jointly:

May 15, services provided on account:

Dr Accounts receivable - J. Anthony 1,900

Cr Sales revenue 1,900

May 15, services provided on account:

Dr Accounts receivable - A. Martin 4,900

Cr Sales revenue 4,900

May 15, services provided on account:

Dr Accounts receivable - S. Lee 1,300

Cr Sales revenue 1,300

or

May 15, services provided on account:

Dr Accounts receivable - J. Anthony 1,900

Dr Accounts receivable - A. Martin 4,900

Dr Accounts receivable - S. Lee 1,300

Cr Sales revenue 8,100

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

The option B is correct because in individual subsidiary accounts, each customer entry will be separately made and total sales revenue will be recorded.
