    Option (d) is correct.

    Explanation:

    Given that,

    Services provided = $1,200

    Handling fee = 5%

    The Journal entry is as follows:

    Cash A/c Dr. $1,140

    Handling charges or Commission Expense A/c Dr. $60

    To Sales Revenue $1,200

    (To record the amount received for services provided earlier)

    Workings:

    Cash received = Sales revenue - Handling charges

    = $1,200 - (5% * $1,200)

    = $1,200 - $60

    = $1,140

    Therefore, the assets increases by $1,140 in the form of cash, the revenue will increases by $1,200 and the expenses increases by $60.
