Question:

Adriana Lopez created Success Systems on October 1, 2007. The company has been successful, and its list of customers has grown. To accommodate the growth, the accounting system is modified to set up separate accounts for each customer. The following chart of accounts includes the account number used for each account and any balance as of December 31, 2007. These balances are taken from SP 5.

Lopez decided to add a fourth digit with a decimal point to the 106 account number that had been used for the single Accounts Receivable account. This modification allows the company to continue using the existing chart of accounts. For simplicity, ignore payroll taxes and sales taxes in this problem.
