    4. Debit Cash account $43,000

    Credit Accounts receivable $43,000

    Being entries to record cash received from credit sales made earlier

    5. Debit Cash $15,000

    Credit Sales revenue $15,000

    Being entries to recognize revenue generated from Cash sales.

    6. Debit Cash $57,275

    Debit Charges (expense) $725

    Credit Sales revenue $58,000

    Being entries to recognize revenue generated from Credit card sales.

    Explanation:

    When revenue is earned but cash is yet to be received, the entries required are;

    Debit Accounts receivable

    Credit Revenue account

    When cash is received,

    Debit Cash account

    Credit Accounts receivable.

    Total sales

    = $15000 + $43,000

    = $58000

    Credit card charge

    = 1.25% * $58000

    = $725

    Cash collected from credit card sales

    = $58000 - $725

    = $57275
