Answer 1

Answer:

B) credit to Accounts Receivable for $1500.

Explanation:

The journal entry to record the given transaction is as follows

Cash $1,470

Sales discounts $30          ($1,500 × 2%)

        To Account receivable $1,500

(Being the receipts of payment is recorded)

While recording this transaction we debited the cash as it increased the assets plus the sales discount is also debited and at the same time we credited the account receivable as it decreased the asset
