That would be in the equity section for a corporation as an addition to "capital stock" (the par value of the stock) and an addition to "additional paid in capital" (the amount the stock was purchased for less the par value).

∙ 9y agoIt depends on the nature of the payment. If it is a corporation and stock was issued, the payment would be posted in the Equity section of the balance sheet split between Par Value and Additional Paid in Capital. If there was no stock issued, it could be posted in the Equity section as Owner's Equity; or, if it is a loan that will be re-paid, it would be listed in the Liabilities section as Loan from Owner (Short Term if it will be re-paid in the current period or Long Term if it will be re-paid later).

A ledger that is summarized in a single general ledger account?
There is no "ledger" that summarizes your ledger.The General Ledger used by companies is a list of all accounts the company has, assets, liabilities, owners equity. A summary of these accounts is created using your "trial balance", "adjusted trial balance" and finally, the "post-closing trial balance".Not only does the trial balance summarize all the accounts in the general ledger, it also insures that the accounts "balance". Once adjustments are made (i.e. payments made, payments received, income earned, prepaid expenses used, etc.) then an adjusted trial balance is created. Now the next step is, if you want to find the amount of Retained Earning for the period (what the company made after all expenses are paid) closing entries are entered into the ledger and a post closing trial balance is created along with the income statement, statement of retained earnings, statement of owners equity and many times the balance sheet.

What is a general ledger?
A general ledger is a summary of all transactions that occur in a company (this is not entirely accurate, the general ledger shows you the balances and debits and credits to each specific account but does not provide detailed information on the transaction itself, the Journal is where the transactions are listed and then posted amounts are taken from the journal and put in the general ledger.) The General Ledger, sometimes referred to as the Nominal Ledger is the main accounting record of a business which uses double-entry accounting. It generally includes such accounts as current assets, fixed assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses, capital, etc. The general ledger is the group of accounts that support the value of accounts listed on the major financial records, such as Trial Balance, Balance Sheet, Statement of Owners Equity, Income Statement, etc. The general ledger may be supported by one or more subsidiary ledgers that provide more detailed information on accounts listed. For example, an account payable (or receivable) subsidiary ledger will contain more specific information on each individual account. For Example, say your General Ledger shows that you have a debit balance of $1500 in Accounts Receivable, this is a general amount, the subsidiary ledger will break down how much each customer actually owes. An example may be: Customer A owes you $500 Customer B owes you $400 Customer C owes you $300 Customer D owes you $300 The general ledger shows the full balance while the subsidiary ledger provides more detailed information
