Answer 1

Answer:

B.

Cash 4,950

Sales Discounts 50

Accounts Receivable 5,000

Explanation:

Terms 1/10, n/60 means that if customer pay within 10 days he will be entitle to receive 1% cash discount. Otherwise credit period is 60 days. Wooley Company paid on the 10th day and they are eligible for the 1% discount.

Sheb Company will receive 4,950 ( $5,000 - $50 ) cash and will give a discount of $50 ( 1% x $5,000 ) and receivable will decrease by total amount of $5,000.

So, the entry will be as follow:

                                         Dr.        Cr.

Cash                             4,950

Sales Discounts                50

Accounts Receivable                 5,000
