AMAZON.COM Might have thought that customers would
appreciate these two features and that the benefits of these might outweigh the “slightly reduced sales”
Amazon might not be able to process all the orders in a timely manner. The suppliers could run out of some of the products, increasing the number of late shipments. In extreme situations, the web site might not be able to handle the high volume of sales, and some customers might not come back to try again.

PREVIOUSLY…. Define Accounting terms related to posting
from a journal to a general ledger. Identify accounting concepts and practices
related to posting from a journal to a general ledger
Prepare a chart of accounts for a service business organized as a proprietorship

REMEMBER! Each account title used for recording entries
in a journal also represents an account in a group of accounts.
The group of accounts is not in random order. There is a standard way of organizing this group of accounts.

RELATIONSHIP OF A T ACCOUNT TO AN ACCOUNT FORM page 91
Balance columns•The general ledger account form also contains the T previously shown in the accounting equation, balance sheet, and T account.•The benefit of using the balance-ruled account form is that an up to date account balance is always available.

CHART OF ACCOUNTS
•A group of accounts is called a ledger. •A ledger that contains all accounts needed to prepare financial statements is called a general ledger.•The number assigned to an account is called an account number
![Page 9: LESSON 4-1](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070500/56816857550346895dde7d9e/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
9LESSON 4-1
ACCOUNT NUMBERSThe first digit of each account number shows the general ledger division in which the account is located.
Example-the asset division accounts are numbered in the100s.Therefore, the number for the asset account, Supplies begins with a 1.
The second two digits indicate the location of each account within a general ledger division. The 50 in the account number for Supplies indicates that the account is located between account number 140 and 160. (Sequence of 10s)

LESSON 4-3Posting Column Totalsfrom a Journal to aGeneral Ledger

OBJECTIVES FOR TODAY…. This lesson is about posting journal column
totals. Why are journal columns totaled?
To prove equality of debits and credits.
In this lesson, we will post the totals of the special amount columns.
![Page 26: LESSON 4-1](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070500/56816857550346895dde7d9e/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
LET ME EXPLAIN… The totals brought forward from the pervious
page of a journal are not posted individually. Remember that separate amounts in the special
amount columns are not posted individually. Post Reference Columns-
An entry in the account can be traced to: Its source in the journal Where it was posted into the account OR if posting was interrupted, the accounting personnel
can easily see which entries in the journal still need to be posted.
A check mark in the Post Ref column means that nothing on that line is posted individually.
![Page 27: LESSON 4-1](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070500/56816857550346895dde7d9e/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)

CHECK MARKS SHOW THAT AMOUNTS ARE NOT POSTED page 100
Check mark indicates that amounts ARE NOT posted individually.
Check mark indicates that general amount column totals ARE NOT posted.

POSTING THE TOTAL OF THE SALES CREDIT COLUMN
The type of journal amount column an amount is recorded in determines how that amount is posted to the general ledger.
The amounts in the special amount columns are posted as part of the total of the amount column
Posting totals saves time and reduces errors because only the total of many of the same kinds of transactions must be posted, as opposed to posting each amount each time a frequently occurring transaction is journalized.
Here are the five steps for posting the total of the sales credit column.
![Page 29: LESSON 4-1](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070500/56816857550346895dde7d9e/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)

REMEMBER
Whenever the debits in an account exceed the credits, the account balance is a debit.
Whenever the credits in an account exceed the debits, the account balance is a credit.

EXPLANATION Examine the ledger accounts illustrated on
this page (106-107) Notice that in the Supplies account, three entries
are from the first page of the journal and one is from the second page.
Notice that in the Accounts Payable-Supply Depot, the debit entry on August 11 reduced the credit balance of the account.
![Page 38: LESSON 4-1](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070500/56816857550346895dde7d9e/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
QUESTION… Does the one entry in the Sales account
mean that only one sale was made all month?
Answer: No, it is the posting of the Sales Credit Column total, which includes may sales during the month.
![Page 39: LESSON 4-1](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070500/56816857550346895dde7d9e/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
QUESTION #2… How can you tell whether this is a new
company or not?
Answer: There was no previous balance in the owner’s capital account, so it is a new company.
![Page 40: LESSON 4-1](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070500/56816857550346895dde7d9e/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
QUESTION #3 & # 4… How can you tell whether any of the entries
on this page are the posting of column totals?
Answer: You cannot tell just from the posting entries but the credit to sales in a column total.
Why are there no special amount columns in the journal for any of the expense accounts?
Answer: Because the accounts do not have frequent entries during the month.

MEMORANDUM FOR A CORRECTING ENTRY page 108
A correcting entry is made to correct an error in the ledger. The error is not merely crossed out.
A Memorandum is used as the source document for a correcting entry.
A correcting entry requires that the error first be analyzed to determine what accounts need to be debited and credited to correct the error. Once this analysis is done, an entry can be recorded in a journal.
