Respuesta :

Answer:

(A) $23,625

(B) $0

(C) $1,375

(D) $25,000

Explanation:

Given that,

Credit card sales on July 15, 2016 = $25,000

Credit card company collection fee = 5.5%

Therefore, the amounts should be recorded as follows:

(i) Cash amounted should be recorded as:

= Credit card sales × (1 - collection fee)

= $25,000 × (1 - 0.055)

= $25,000 × 0.945

= $23,625

(ii) Sales = $0

(iii) Service Charge:

= Credit card sales × collection fee

= $25,000 × 5.5%

= $1,375

(iv) Accounts Receivable:

= $25,000
