Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Entries in a sales journal are posted to accounts in an accounts receivable subsidiary ledger and to accounts in the general ledger. This is because the sales journal records all sales made on credit, which creates accounts receivable balances that need to be tracked in the subsidiary ledger, as well as revenue accounts that need to be updated in the general ledger. So, option A and B are incorrect. Option D is also incorrect because sales journal entries are always posted to relevant accounts.
