D) Cash 45,540 Accounts receivable 45,540

Explanation:

The journal entry is shown below:

Cash A/c Dr $45,540

To Accounts receivable A/c $45,540

(Being cash is received in respect of goods sold)

The computation is shown below:

= Sold value of supplies - the sold value of supplies * discount percentage

= $46,000 - $46,000 * 1%

= $46,000 - $460

= $45,540

Since the net method is used so we debited the cash account and credited the account receivable account.
