Answer 1

Answer:

Accounts Receivable $8,820

                   To Sales Revenue $8,820

Explanation:

The journal entry to record the sales revenue is shown below:

Accounts receivable A/c Dr $8,820

      To Sales revenue A/c $8,820

(Being merchandise sold on credit basis)

For recording this we debited the account receivable as it increased the assets and credited the sales revenue as it also increased the revenue

The computation of sales revenue is shown below:

= Sales revenue - discount

= $9,000 - $9,000 × 2%

= $9,000 - $180

= $8,820
