Working Notes:

Calculate sales discount of 2% for the amount of $11,000 collected from R.

$\begin{array}{c}\text{Sales discount = Sales }\times \text{ 2\% discount}\\ \text{= \$11,000}\times 2\text{\%}\\ \text{= \$220}\end{array}$ (1)

Determine cash collected from R.

$\begin{array}{c}\text{Cash = Sales revenue – Credit card discounts}\\ =\$11,000–\$220\text{(1)}\\ =\$10,780\end{array}$ (2)

Calculate the total accounts receivable amount.

$\begin{array}{c}\text{Accounts}\text{receivable}\text{=}\frac{\$98,000}{98}\times 100\\ =100,000\end{array}$ (3)

Determine sales discount given to customer.

$\begin{array}{c}\text{Sales discount = Account receivable – Cash received}\\ =\$100,000(3)–\$98,000\\ =\$2,000\end{array}$ (4)

Calculate sales discount of 2% for the amount of $26,500 collected from M.

$\begin{array}{c}\text{Sales discount = Sales }\times \text{ 2\% discount}\\ \text{= \$26,500}\times 2\text{\%}\\ \text{= \$530}\end{array}$ (5)

Determine cash collected from M.

$\begin{array}{c}\text{Cash = Sales revenue – Credit card discounts}\\ =\$26,500–\$530\text{(5)}\\ =\$25,970\end{array}$ (6)

Calculate the amount of sales returns made from M.

$\begin{array}{c}\text{Sales return =}\text{Number of items return}\times \text{Unit sales price}\\ =7\times \$500\\ \text{= \$3,500}\end{array}$ (7)

Calculate sales discount of 2% for the amount of $3,500.

$\begin{array}{c}\text{Sales discount = Sales return }\times \text{ 2\% discount}\\ \text{= \$3,500}\text{(7)}\times 2\text{\%}\\ \text{= \$70}\end{array}$ (8)

Determine cash returned to M.

$\begin{array}{c}\text{Cash = Sales return – Sales discounts}\\ =\$3,500\text{(7)}–\$70\text{(8)}\\ =\$3,430\end{array}$ (9)

Calculate the bad debt expense.

$\begin{array}{c}\text{Bad debt expense = Net}\text{Sales}\times 1.5\text{\% Bad debt rate}\\ \text{= \$77,000}\text{(11)}\times 1.5\text{\%}\\ \text{= \$1,155}\end{array}$ (10)

Calculate the net sales.

$\begin{array}{c}\text{Calculate net sales = Credit sales}-\text{Sales returns}\\ \text{= }\left[\left(\$11,500+\$26,500+\$24,000+\$19,000\right)-\left(\$500+\$3,500\right)\right]\\ \text{= \$81,000}-\$4,000\\ =\$77,000\end{array}$ (11)
