    Record:

    Account name Debit Credit

    Ca 270

    Service revenues 270

    Explanation:

    The revenue earned by Merry Maidens Cleaning on May 1, is the amount paid by Ms. E. Pearson.

    Ms. Pearson paid the discounted price, which is calculated in this way:

    Regular price: $300.00 10% discount: $300.00 * 10% = $300 * 0.10 = $30.00

    Payment: Regular price - discount

    $300.00 - $30.00 = $270.00

    When the company earns a revenue the revenues account increases and must show a credit.

    If cash is received then an asset is increasing, thus the cash account must show a debit.

    Thus the operation must be recorded as:

    Account name Debit Credit

    Car 270

    Service revenues 270
