The total of the purchases journal on June 30 is:
A. 23,50 B. 23,000 C. 22,020 D. 21,500
I picked (B) and is wrong

The total of the sales discount in the cash receipts journal is:
A.92.10 B. 130.30 C. 137.50 D. 195.40
I got this correct (B)

Entries were recorded in the general journal for transactions on:
A. June 1,5,and 17 B. June 2,17, and 30 C. June 1,2,and 30 D. June 2,5, and 17
I chose (B) and it is wrong. But I think it should be (D)

On June 30, the totals of the purchases journal and the accounts payable column of the cash payments journal are posted to the accounts payable general ledger account. Individual postings are made from the general journal. After these entries have been posted to the general ledger from the journals, the balance in the accounts payable is:
A. 21,500 B.8430 C. 8200 D. 7680
I chose A and was wrong

How many entries were made in the other accounts column of the cash payments journal?
A.5 B.6 C.7 D.8
D is wrong
