Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The reference column in the general ledger will show the journal page numbers after journal entries have been posted. This allows the user to easily trace back to the original journal entry if needed. The reference column in the general journal will show "Dr" or "Cr" to indicate whether the account is being debited or credited, but this is not relevant to the question being asked. Similarly, the reference column in the general ledger will eventually show account numbers, but this is not necessarily immediate after journal entries are posted. Therefore, the best choice is B.
