The subsidiary account for Ridge Communities must also be posted for an $1,800
credit.
6. The sum of the customer balances is in agreement with the controlling account.
Both have balances of $2,300 ($860 + $400 + $1,040).
7. In an automated system, individual sales transactions are posted automatically
to the general ledger at the time of the original transaction. Thus, there is no
need to post summary totals to the general ledger accounts. The accounts
receivable account reported on the balance sheet is often merely the sum of
the individual customer accounts.
