Explanation:

The journal entry to be recorded by Jervis on June 28 is as:

On June 28

Credit Card expense A/c........Dr $ 261

Sales A/c............................Cr $5,800

Being record the deposit of amount on Sales by Jervis

As the amount is deposited on sale which means cash is coming into the bank, and any increase in cash is debited. So, the cash account is debited. And on the amount expense is charges, the charge is also debited. Therefore, the credit card expense is debited. And the sales is made, so, the sales account is credited.

Credit card expense = Sales amount × Charge

= $5,800 × 4.5%

= $261
