Question

Minch Grinch Company sells 2 cats in a hat to a customer for $10,000, and allows the customer to pay on credit card. The credit card company charges a 2% fee. What accounts will be affected by the transaction?

Answer 1

Answer:

Debit to accounts receivable $9,800, Debit to credit card Discount $200 and credit to sales revenue $10,000

Explanation:

Given that the credit card charges 2%; then the discount rate = $\frac{2}{100}*10,000$

= 0.02 × 10,000

= 200

The account receivable = $10,000 - $200

= $9,800

From the foregoing, it is obvious that the sale revenue would not be affected by this transaction. SO, the sale revenue = $10,000
