Answer: The following entry is required to enter this transaction

Accounts Receivable A/c Dr $5,000

To Sales $5,000

Since Kristi's sold the tiles on charge, it means that it was a credit sale.

On the day of the sale, we will credit the sales account with the total value of the sale i.e
200 * 25 = 5000. Since it's a credit sale we'll debit the Accounts Receivable account with $5000.

The terms of the sale are 1/10, n/30. This means that the customer can get a 10% discount if he pays within 1 day of the sale, else he has 30 days to pay the entire amount.

Since we don't know if the customer paid within a day or not, we record the transaction above in order to account for the credit sale.
