Following are selected account balances (in millions of dollars) from a recent UPS annual report, followed by several typical transactions. Assume that the following are account balances on December 31(end of the prior fiscal year):

These accounts are not necessarily in good order and have normal debit or credit balances. (Note: Because these are not all of UPS's accounts, these will not balance in a trial balance.)
