[Ledger-discuss] Average balance

[<car...@gm...>]

Hello,

Why the command "ledger -A -s bal carro" generate correct average
values for the children accounts but generates half of I expected
value for the parents accounts.

Example:
The result of the command "ledger -A reg carro"

2007/01/10 ar do carro 3/3      despesas:carro:oficina      $611.58      $611.58
2007/01/17 gasolina                despesas:carro:gasol..       $97.00
     $354.29
2007/01/19 despesas              despesas:carro:estac..        $9.00
   $239.19
2007/01/21 despesas              despesas:carro:estac..        $3.00
   $180.15

So, I understand that $180.15 is the correct average value for the
account despesas:carro.

Now, the result of the command "ledger -A -s bal carro"

            $90.07  despesas:carro
                 $6.00    estacionamento
                 $97.00    gasolina
                 $611.58    oficina
--------------------
            $90.07

$90.07 is half of $180.17 which is what I expected as correct result.

Can some one, please, explain me this result.

Thanks a lot
Carlos
