The correct accounting entry for Ray Inc. on July 15, after Office Rental Company pays the full amount in cash with the 2% discount, would be:

C. Cash $58,800

Sales Discounts $1,200

Accounts Receivable $60,000

Explanation:

  • The original sale was for 100 printers at $600 each, totaling $60,000 (100 printers × $600).
  • Office Rental Company takes advantage of the 2% discount for paying within 10 days. The discount amount is 2% of $60,000, which equals $1,200 ($60,000 × 0.02).
  • Office Rental Company pays the discounted amount of $60,000 - $1,200 = $58,800 in cash to Ray Inc. on July 15.
  • The entry reflects the receipt of $58,800 in cash, the recognition of the discount, and the removal of the remaining Accounts Receivable balance of $60,000.
