I've got it! The balance sheet is the financial statement that summarizes the account balances in the ledger. The other options like the income statement and general journal don't fit the description in the question. I'm confident A is the right answer.

I'm a bit confused on this one. Is the income statement also a summary of account balances? Or is the financial statement the overall term that includes both the balance sheet and income statement? I need to review my notes to make sure I have this concept clear.

Okay, let me think this through step-by-step. The question is asking for a summary of account balances in a ledger, which sounds like it's referring to the balance sheet. I'm leaning towards A, but I'll double-check the other options just to be sure.

Hmm, I'm not totally sure about this one. I know the balance sheet summarizes account balances, but I'm not 100% certain that's the only correct answer. I'll have to think it through carefully.
