Question

SP 4 Adria Lopez created Success Systems on October 1, 2013. The company has been successful, and
its list of customers has grown. To accommodate the growth, the accounting system is modified to set up
separate accounts for each customer. The following chart of accounts includes the account number used
for each account and any balance as of December 31, 2013. Adria Lopez decided to add a fourth digit with
a decimal point to the 106 account number that had been used for the single Accounts Receivable account.
This change allows the company to continue using the existing chart of accounts.

extend credit terms of 1y10, ny30, FOB shipping point, to all customers who purchase this merchandise.
