  • • Cash received as interest on notes payable

  • • Cash receipts from bank loans
  • • Cash receipts for capital investments

Prepare the given transactions in the cash receipts journal and verify the total column and rule the column and use the general journal to record the sales returns and allowances:

Total Debit     = Total Credit($15,174.85+$97.65)=($3,481.00+$11,230.00+$561.50)=$15,272.50=$15,272.5 

Working note 1:

Calculate the amount of cash on dated 5th January:

Cash(debit)on dated 5thJanuary}=(Cash sales + 5% on sales tax)=[$2,800+(5%×$2,800)]=[$2,800+$140]=$2,940

Working note 2:

Calculate the amount of bank credit card expense on dated 5th January:

Bank credit card expense on dated 5thJanuary}=[(Sales + 5% on sales tax)×Credit card fee %]=[$1,200+(5%×$1,200)]×3%=[$1,200+$60]×3%=$37.80

Working note 3:

Calculate the amount of cash on dated 5th January:

Cash(debit)on dated 5thJanuary}=[(Cash sales + 5% on sales tax)Bank credit card expense]=[$1,200+(5%×$1,200)$37.80]=[$1,200+$60$37.80]=$1,222

Working note 4:

Calculate the amount of cash on dated 12th January:

Cash(debit)on dated 12thJanuary}=(Cash sales + 5% on sales tax)=[$3,100+(5%×$3,100)]=[$3,100+$155]=$3,255

Working note 5:

Calculate the amount of bank credit card expense on dated 12th January:

Bank credit card expense on dated 12thJanuary}=[(Sales + 5% on sales tax)×Credit card fee %]=[$1,900+(5%×$1,900)]×3%=[$1,900+$95]×3%=$59.85

Working note 6:

Calculate the amount of cash on dated 12th January:

Cash(debit)on dated 12thJanuary}=[(Cash sales + 5% on sales tax)Bank credit card expense]=[$1,900+(5%×$1,900)$59.85]=[$1,900+$95$59.85]=$1,935.15

Working note 7:

Calculate the amount of cash on dated 19th January:

Cash(debit)on dated 19thJanuary}=(Cash sales + 5% on sales tax)=[$2,230+(5%×$2,230)]=[$2,230+$111.5]=$2,341.50
