    a. $338,100

    b. $106,200

    Explanation:

    The computation is shown below:

    a. The balance of the Accounts Receivable control account is given below:

    = Debit balance of the account receivable control account + Total sales - cash receipts journal

    = $307,700 + $161,400 - $131,000

    = $338,100

    b. The balance of the account payable control account is given below:

    = Credit balance of the account payable control account + Total purchase - cash payments journal

    = $87,300 + $66,400 - $47,500

    = $106,200
