th ending account balances of permanent accounts for one fisical period?
Yes it is. Permanent accounts are balance sheet accounts which do not close at the end of the accounting year, as opposed to income statement account balances which are removed an added to retained earnings. Another words income statement accounts are measured for a certain period of time whereas balance sheet accounts carry on to the following years.
Yes it is a real account. Accounts receivable is considered an asset and asset accounts are real or permanent accounts.

A control account summarizes a set of subsidiary accounts. For example, Accounts receivable may have a control account, representing total Accounts receivable, and also may have a set of subsidiary accounts, representing the amount of Accounts receivable owed by each customer/debtor. The total of all subsidiary accounts must equal the balance of the control account. Control accounts will have debit or credit balances depending on the nature of those accounts. Control accounts for assets, such as Accounts receivable or Fixed assets, will have native debit balances. Control accounts for liabilities, such as Accounts payable, will have native credit balances.
Assets, Liabilities, and Stockholder's Equity are all permanent accounts.
All liabilities as well as sales account has credit balance as normal accounting balances.
Customers and Balances. The primary way that retail banks earn money is based on the balances that are in their customers' account. The higher the account balances the better. By getting more accounts, they will bring in more money and the best way to get more accounts is to get more customers.
A control account is a summary of the individual accounts in the subsidiary ledger(purchases or sales ledger) :)
Any account on the balance sheet is a permanent account - 'Cash', 'Accounts Receivable', 'Accounts Payable'. Income and expense accounts are temporary accounts because they are closed at the end of an accounting period. Examples are: 'Service Revenue', 'Office Expense', and, my personal favourite, 'Meetings and Entertainment Expense'.
Capital stock is considered a permanent account. Permanent accounts are ones which hold financial information for multiple accounting periods. Capital stock remains in an account until an accountant moves it to another account, which means that it is permanent.
An asset account is a "balance sheet" account. That is, when financial reports are created, the balances in asset accounts are reported on the balance sheet*, together with the balances in liability accounts and shareholders' equity accounts, and not on the income statement (which reports only revenues and expenses for the period of time ending on the balance sheet date.) *Another name for the balance sheet is the Statement of Financial Position.
