Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A credit card discount is a reduction in the amount that a business receives from a customer who pays with a credit card. When a journal entry is made to record this discount, the net sales decrease, but the money received from the customer is still recorded as a cash receipt. Therefore, there is no change in net income. Operating expenses also do not increase as a result of recording a credit card discount. Option B is incorrect because it incorrectly states that operating expenses increase.
