Credit sales is the balancing figure of the Total Debtors Account (₹5,40,000); total sales = credit sales + cash sales = ₹5,40,000 + ₹4,60,000 = ₹10,00,000.

Under the single-entry / incomplete-records method, credit sales are recovered by preparing a Total Debtors Account. Opening debtors and credit sales are debited; cash received, sales returns, bad debts and closing debtors are credited.
