Answer 1

Answer:

a. Cash 5,684 Sales discounts 116 , Accounts receivable 5,800

Explanation:

The journal entry is shown below:

Cash A/c Dr                   $5,684

Sales Discount A/c Dr $116

     To  Accounts receivable    $5,800

(Being cash received recorded)

The computation of the account receivable  

= $5,800

And, the discount would be

= Accounts receivable × percentage given

= $5,800 × 2%

= $116

The remaining amount would be credited to the cash account i.e $5,684 ($5,800 - $116)
