Accepted Answer

A cash sale, regardless of being made over the internet, is recorded as a debit to Cash because cash is received, and a credit to Sales because it represents revenue from selling goods or services. The distinction of the sale being made on the internet does not typically require a separate account like "Internet Sales" unless the company specifically chooses to track online sales separately for internal reporting purposes. However, for general accounting practices, "Sales" is the correct account to credit.

The entry to journalize the receipt of a time draft for an international sale would be

Accepted Answer

The correct journal entry to record this transaction is to debit Time Drafts Receivable, increasing the asset account for the amount to be received, and credit Sales, recognizing the revenue from the sale. This entry reflects the company's right to receive money in the future and the completion of a sale.

Question 12

The entry to journalize an international cash sale is a debit to Cash and a credit to

Accepted Answer

The correct entry for an international cash sale involves debiting Cash to increase the asset account and crediting Sales to recognize the revenue. The term "International Sales" might be used internally for reporting purposes, but for accounting journal entries, the standard account is "Sales." "Time Drafts Receivable" would not be credited in a cash sale, as this account is used for sales where payment is deferred. "Internet Sales" could be a specific category of sales but is not necessarily related to the method of payment (cash) or the international nature of the sale.

Question 13
