Effects of Sales Discounts

Citron Mechanical Systems makes all sales on credit, with terms 1/15, n/30. During 2019, the list price (prediscount) of services provided was $687,500. Customers paid $482,000 (list price) of these sales within the discount period and the remaining $250,500 (list price) after the discount period. Citron uses the gross method of recording sales.

Required:

1. Compute the amount of sales that Citron recorded for 2019.

2. Compute the amount of cash that Citron collected from these sales.

3. Assuming the net method was used for all sales, prepare a summary journal entry to record these sales and a second summary entry to record the cash collected.
