Instructions
1. Journalize the transactions for October. Use a purchases journal and a cash payments journal similar to those illustrated in this chapter and a two-column general journal. Set debit columns for Field Supplies, Office Supplies, and Other Accounts in the purchases journal. Refer to the following partial chart of accounts:
11 Cash
18 Office Equipment
14 Field Supplies
19 Land
15 Office Supplies
21 Accounts Payable
16 Prepaid Rent
61 Salary Expense
17 Field Equipment
71 Rent Expense
At the points indicated in the narrative of transactions, post to the following subsidiary accounts in the accounts payable ledger:
A-One Office Supply Co.
Midland Supply Co.
Petro Services Inc.
2. Post the individual entries (Other Accounts columns of the purchases journal and the cash payments journal; both columns of the general journal) to the appropriate general ledger accounts.
3. Total each of the columns of the purchases journal and the cash payments journal, and post the appropriate totals to the general ledger. (Because the problem does not include transactions related to cash receipts, the cash account in the ledger will have a credit balance.)
4. Sum the balances of the accounts payable creditor balances.
5. Why might West Texas consider using a subsidiary ledger for the field equipment?

5. A subsidiary ledger for the field equipment would allow the company to track
each piece of equipment with respect to cost, location, useful life, and other

determining depreciation.
