Sales on June 30:

Dr accounts receivable $400,000

Cr sales revenue $400,000

On August 15:

Dr cash $400,000

Cr accounts receivable $400,000

Explanation:

On June 30 when Lindley Enterprises sold 500 rugs worth $400,000 to Paige Corporation, Lindley would have to recognize sales of $400,000 since the rugs have been transferred to Paige Corporation by crediting sales revenue and debiting accounts receivable with $400,000.

On August 15, Lindley would have received cash of $400,000 in respect of their earlier sales, hence accounts receivable should be credited while cash account is debited
