Solution:

What is the January 1 balance in the Freeze Company subsidiary account?

8,170 - 2,550 - 1,580 = 4040

What is the January 31 balance in the control account?

8,170 + 6,529 + 5,066 + 6,647 - 5,972 - 2,087 - 6,790 - 2,215 = 1,995

Compute the balances in the subsidiary accounts at the end of the month.  

Hale 2,550 + 6,529 - 5,972 = 3,107

Janish 1,580 + 5,066 - 2,087 - 2,215 = 2,344

Valdez 4040 + 6,647 - 6,790 = 3,897
