Answer and Explanation:

Culver Co.

Journal Entries

Debit Credit

June 1, 2020 Accounts receivables $51,000

Sales $51,000

Recording sale of goods on credit.

June 12, 2020 Bank $48,960

Sales discount (Working 1) $2,040

Accounts receivables $51,000

Recording cash received from customer.

Working 1:

As per the terms of sale, the customer receives 4% cash discount if the payment is made within 15 days. The customer makes the payment on the 12th day, and thus, receives 4% cash discount.

Cash discount = 4% x $51,000 = $2,040

Amount received from customer = $51,000 - $2,040 = $48,960
