Solution

The correct answer is C. The sum of all the accounts in the accounts receivable subsidiary ledger should equal the accounts receivable account balance in the general ledger after posting all amounts. This is because the subsidiary ledger provides a detailed breakdown of the balance in the controlling account (accounts receivable) in the general ledger. After all transactions have been posted, the total of the subsidiary ledger should match the balance in the controlling account.
