Purchases and Cash Payments Journals; Accounts Payable Subsidiary and General Ledgers

AquaFresh Water Testing Service was established on April 16. AquaFresh uses field equipment and field supplies (chemicals and other supplies) to analyze water for unsafe contaminants in streams, lakes, and ponds. Transactions related to purchases and cash payments during the remainder of April are as follows:

Required:

1. Journalize the transactions (in chronological order as presented in the data) for April. Use a purchases journal and a cash payments journal, and a two-column general journal. Use debit columns for Field Supplies, Office Supplies, and Other Accounts in the purchases journal. Refer to the following partial chart of accounts:

At the points indicated in the narrative of transactions, post to the following accounts in chronological order in the accounts payable subsidiary ledger:

For those boxes in which no entry is required, leave the box blank. If no other account is needed in the "Other Accounts Dr." column select "No Entry Required".

2. Post the individual entries in chronological order (Other Accounts columns of the purchases journal and the cash payments journal and both columns of the general journal) to the appropriate general ledger accounts. Post to the subsidiary ledger in chronological order. When posting to the general ledger, post in chronological order. However, if there is more than one entry on the same date, post transactions from the purchases journal first, then the cash payments journal before posting from the general journal.

3. Total each of the columns of the purchases journal and the cash payments journal, and post the appropriate totals to the general ledger.

For those boxes in which no entry is required, leave the box blank.

Post transactions in chronological order. However, if there is more that one transaction on the same date, post from the purchases journal first, then from the cash payments journal before posting from the general journal. (Because the problem does not include transactions related to cash receipts, the cash account in the ledger will have a credit balance.)

4. Prepare a schedule of the accounts payable creditor balances.

5. All are reasons why AquaFresh might consider using a subsidiary ledger for the field equipment EXCEPT:

To secure lower pricing on equipment purchases
