Answer 1

Answer:

A) S2,574 in the Cash Dr. column, $26 in the Sales Discount Dr. column and $2,600 in the Accounts Receivable Cr.column.

Explanation:

In the case when we have to record the collection from the customer within the discount period so the following journal entry should be made

Cash  Dr $2,574

Sales discount Dr $26 (1% of $2,600)

        To Account receivable $2,600

(Being collection is recorded)

Here the cash and sales discount is debited as it increased the assets and it reduced the sales on the other hand the account receivable is credited as it decreased the assets
