5. What is a firm's payment to a supplier for merchandise inventory recorded in?

Answer: cash disbursements journal

All cash payments are recorded in the cash disbursements journal. This journal is often referred to as the cheque register. All entries in this journal must have a credit to cash.
6. Where are amounts owed by customers for credit purchases found?

Answer: accounts receivable subsidiary ledger

Amounts owed to the business by its customers for merchandise purchased on account are accounts receivables of the business. Details of customers' accounts receivables are maintained in the accounts receivable subsidiary ledger.
7. Which of the following transactions is not recorded in the cash receipts journal?

Answer: expensing prepaid rent

The cash receipts journal is used to record all cash received by the business. Of the items listed, only "expensing of prepaid rent" does not involve the receipt of cash.
8. Where would a debit posted to accounts payable in the general ledger come from?

Answer: cash disbursements journal

The normal posting sources for accounts payable in the general ledger are the cash disbursements journal for cash payments that reduce the Accounts Payable balance and the purchases journal for inventory purchases which increase the accounts payable balance.

The entry from the cash disbursements journal would be a debit to Accounts Payable. (Note: a debit or credit memo entry from the general journal might also be posted to accounts payable. )
9. Total sales for August, including 7% sales tax, was $21,400. What was the Actual Sales Revenue?

Answer: $20,000

Sales plus the 7% sales tax equals total sales. Let "S" stand for sales, then:
S + .07S = $21,400
1.07S = $21,400
S = $21,400 / 1.07
S = $20,000
10. Which of the following is a control account?

Answer: Accounts Receivable

A control account is a general ledger account with a balance equal to the sum of the balances of a group of related accounts in a subsidiary ledger. Of the accounts listed, only accounts receivable has a related subsidiary ledger.
