86) The controlling accounts are part of the general ledger. Details on individual accounts such as accounts receivable are kept in a specific subsidiary ledger. The balance in the controlling account must match the sum of the balances in the matching subsidiary ledger accounts. 87) Posting to special journals is a three-step process: (1) individual amounts in the Other Accounts column are posted to their general ledger accounts on a regular (daily) basis, (2) individual amounts in a column that are posted in total to a controlling account at the end of a period are posted regularly (daily) to the appropriate account in the subsidiary ledger, and (3) total amounts for all columns except the Other Accounts column are posted at the end of a period to the appropriate account for each column. 88) The terms of payment extend from the invoice date not the date of purchase, This allows us to calculate when our purchase discount terms end. 89) A controlling account is a single ledger account that equals the sum of the subsidiary ledger accounts to which it is related. Controlling accounts appear in the general ledger 90) (a) General Journal Jul-15 Sales Returns and Allowances

101) Respond to your neighbour with the following benefits of using special journals: Special journals record like transactions all together (eg. sales transactions are together yet separate from credit purchase transactions); this creates efficiency since there is less repetitive recording that is otherwise needed if you used only the general journal. This keeps the general journal for recording adjusting, correcting and closing entries Posting is simplified since you only post the column totals as opposed to each transaction More than one employee can record transactions at the same time (eg: someone can be responsible for sales journal and someone else responsible for purchases journal) 102) 1.

63) a) Slack has a duty to remit employee withholdings on a predetermine schedule set by Canada Revenue Agency (CRA). Employers have until the end of February after the end of the previous tax year to send T4s to their local federal tax office. That is the only time at which the CRA knows what has been withheld for each employee for remittance. Failure to remit withholdings on a regular basis can mean interest penalties for Slack. b) Withholding remittances is payroll fraud on several levels. If entries are not made to record withholdings, the financial statement liabilities can be understated and will overstate the current ratio. Further, employees would be unaware that withholdings are not being remitted on their behalf when there is an expectation the company is executing their duties in compliance with CRA rules.
