c. Cash 5,684 Sales discounts 116 Accounts receivable 5,800
d. Cash 5,194 Sales discounts 106 Accounts receivable 5,300

Answer 1

d. Cash 5,194 Sales discounts 106 Accounts receivable 5,300

Step-by-step explanation:

The journal entry is shown below:

Cash A/c Dr $5,194

Sales Discount A/c Dr $106

To Accounts receivable $5,300

(Being cash received recorded)

The computation of the account receivable

= Credit sales - returned goods

= $5,800 - $500

= $5,300

And, the discount would be

= Accounts receivable × percentage given

= $5,300 × 2%

= $106

The remaining amount would be credited to the cash account.
