Answer 1

Answer:

Scarbrough will receive and record cash of $538,685

The journal entry to record this transaction would be:

                             Debit        Credit  

Cash                 $2,900,300  

Interest Expense $89,700  

Notes Payable                 $2,990,000

Debit Cash for $2900300, debit Interest Expense for $89700, and credit Notes Payable for $2990000

Explanation:

In order to calculate the amount Scarbrough will receive and record cash we would have to make the following calculation:

Scarbrough will receive and record cash=Receivables-Amount of the hold back-Withheld as fee income-Less: Withheld as interest expense

Receivables= $600,000  

Amount of the hold back=$600,000 x 5%=$30,000  

Withheld as fee income=$600,000 x 3%=$18,000  

Withheld as interest expense=$600,000 × 15% × 54/365=$13,315  

Therefore, Scarbrough will receive and record cash=$600,000- $30,000-$18,000-$13,315=$538,685

Scarbrough will receive and record cash of $538,685

According to the given data to journal entry to record this transaction would be the following:

 

                              Debit        Credit  

Cash                 $2,900,300  

Interest Expense $89,700  

Notes Payable                 $2,990,000

Interest Expense=$2,990,000 x 3%=$89,700
