Solution

The billing department is not responsible for:

a. updating the inventory subsidiary records

This task is typically handled by the inventory or warehouse department. They keep track of the quantity and value of each item in the inventory. When a sale is made, they update the records to reflect the new inventory levels.

b. recording the sale in the sales journal

This is usually the responsibility of the sales or accounting department. They record the details of each sale, including the date, customer, items sold, and sale price.

c. notifying accounts receivable of the sale

This is also typically a task for the sales or accounting department. They inform the accounts receivable department about the sale so that the customer can be billed.

d. sending the invoice to the customer

This is indeed a responsibility of the billing department. They prepare and send invoices to customers after a sale has been made. The invoice includes details of the sale and informs the customer of the amount they owe.
