Post the journals to the accounts payable subsidiary ledger.

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:

11 Cash 19 Land
14 Field Supplies 21 Accounts Payable
15 Office Supplies 61 Salary Expense
17 Field Equipment 71 Rent Expense

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

Best Office Supply Co.
Hydro Supply Co.
Pure Equipment Co.

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".

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.)
