Respuesta :

Answer:

C : debit to Service Charge Expense of $20

Explanation:

The complete journal entry used to record this transaction would be:

Dr Cash 980 (assuming the transaction is processed automatically)

Since the credit card company is charging you a 2% commission ($20), we must consider it an expense. Remember that all expenses must be debited.
