  1. Credit sideCevap
  2. B
    Debit side
  3. C
    Excluded entirely from the control account
  4. D
    Debit side of the Purchases Ledger Control Account

Cevap

Credit side
The Sales Ledger Control Account summarizes total trade debtors (an asset). Because discount allowed reduces the total amount owed by debtors, it is credited to the Sales Ledger Control Account.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify how discount allowed affects customer debt
Discount allowed reduces the total amount owed by credit debtors to the business.
When customers pay early and receive a discount, their remaining liability decreases.
2
Determine the correct posting side in the Sales Ledger Control Account
Items that decrease total debtor balances are posted to the credit side.
The Sales Ledger Control Account carries a normal debit balance, so decreases in asset value are credited.
