    Debit Accounts receivable 7,200

    Credit Sales 7,200

    Debit Cost of Merchandise Sold 3,950

    Credit Merchandise Inventory 3,950

    Explanation:

    When Corbit corps sells merchandise on account it means that cash was not received for the transaction. So we debit accounts receivable (an asset account to indicate increase in amount receivable by us). A credit is now passed to sales to show increased sales.

    On merchandise we debit cost of merchandise sold and credit Merchandise inventory (an asset account is credited to indicate reduction) to indicate merchandise has reduced.
