To prepare a general ledger with T-accounts for Accounts Receivable, Sales, and Sales Returns and Allowances, we need to post the given transactions to these accounts. Let's break down each transaction and post them accordingly.

T-Accounts
Accounts Receivable
| Date | Description | Debit | Credit |
|------|-------------|-------|--------|
| Nov 5 | Ski Shop   | 4,975 |        |
| Nov 10| Welcome Enterprises | 2,983 | |
| Nov 13| Zia Natara | 1,749 |        |
| Nov 21| Zia Natara |        | 451   |
| Nov 30| Ski Shop   | 6,219 |        |
Sales
| Date | Description | Debit | Credit |
|------|-------------|-------|--------|
| Nov 5 | Ski Shop   |       | 4,975  |
| Nov 10| Welcome Enterprises | | 2,983|
| Nov 13| Zia Natara |       | 1,749  |

Posting to the General Ledger
  1. Accounts Receivable:

    • Debit entries increase the Accounts Receivable balance, representing sales made on credit.
    • Credit entries decrease the Accounts Receivable balance, representing returns or allowances.
  2. Sales:

    • Credit entries increase the Sales balance, representing revenue from sales.
  3. Sales Returns and Allowances:

    • Debit entries increase the Sales Returns and Allowances balance, representing returns or allowances given to customers.
Accounts Receivable Ledger
  • Ski Shop:

    • Nov 5: Debit 4,975
    • Nov 30: Debit 6,219
  • Welcome Enterprises:

    • Nov 10: Debit 2,983
  • Zia Natara:

    • Nov 13: Debit 1,749
    • Nov 21: Credit 451
Summary
  • The Accounts Receivable T-account shows the total amount owed by customers after accounting for sales and any returns.
  • The Sales T-account reflects the total revenue generated from sales.
  • The Sales Returns and Allowances T-account shows the total value of returns and allowances given to customers.

By organizing the transactions into T-accounts, we can clearly see the impact of each transaction on the company's financial position.
