As an alternative, many businesses postpone recording the amount of bank credit card expense until they receive notification from their bank or the bank statement. Assume that Whitewater Raft Supply had credit card sales of $11,448. The entry is as follows:



The restaurant’s next bank statement includes a debit memorandum for credit card charges of $457.92, using an assumed 4 percent discount rate ($11,448 x 0.04). The business handles this in a similar manner to a check service charge.



The entry of October 1 does not involve cash, so it is not entered in the cash receipts journal.

Cash was received on October 4, so the sale of merchandise involving a credit card is entered in the cash receipts journal.


In this entry, the “Account Credited” column is used to identify the $9,000 in “Other Accounts Credit” credit as a

credit to D. M. Bruce, Capital for $9,000.

Same “Other Accounts Credit” is used for the October 8 equipment transaction.

On October 5, $416 was collected on account from L.R. Ray, a charge customer.

The “Account Credited” column is used to identify the customer who made the payment.
