False

Explanation:

Given that,

Accounts receivable = $30,000

Factoring fee charged = 2%

Therefore,

Factory fee = 2% of Accounts receivable

= 2% * $30,000

= $600

The amount $600 has to be subtracted from the accounts receivable.

Hence, the journal entry is as follows;

Cash A/c ($30,000 - $600) Dr. $29,400

Factory fee Expense A/c Dr. $600

To Accounts Receivable $30,000
