Correct Answer: Option A
Explanation

The Sales Ledger is your record of sales, and whether or not you have received the money, and how much you are still owed. From the table above, it is derived as;  

sales opening balance - discount allowed - returns inwards + credit sales. 6,000 - 1,000 - 2,000 = 3,000 + 10,000 = 13,000
