What numbers would be posted to the ledger accounts at the end of January 20X1?


ANSWER ACCORDING TO Kaplan

total invoice total=$14,300 would be posted to Accounts receivable.
Total sales=$13,000 would be posted to the Sales Account.
Total VAT on sales=$1,300 would be posted to the VAT account.


ok so i do understand where each transaction goes to, but I don't understand where they arrived at these total figures,


someone please explain?

Looks like a misprint:

I would suggest:

DR accounts receivable 9,900
CR VAT 900
CR Sales 9000

(by the way, I think you should have posted this to the F3 forum) :)
