The 2 questions before this was the following.

Journalize the August transactions in the general journal (page 9). Do not include the explanations. American makes all credit sales on terms of 2/10, n/30 unless otherwise indicated. I have posted the beginning balances to the general ledgers and subsidiary ledgers for you.

Post daily to the general ledger. Also post to the accounts receivable subsidiary ledger and the accounts payable subsidiary ledger when appropriate. On August 31 post to the general ledger.

I'm unsure if what I get form the previous answers will also help do this quesiton.
