Exercise 7-2 Accounting for credit card sales LO C1 Levine Company uses the perpetual inventory system. Apr. 8 Sold merchandise for $4,500 (that had cost $3,326) and accepted the customer's Suntrust Bank Card. Suntrust charges a 4% fee. 12 Sold merchandise for $4,600 (that had cost $2,981) and accepted the customer's Continental Card. Continental charges a 2.5% fee. Prepare journal entries to record the above credit card transactions of Levine Company. (Round your answers to the nearest whole dollar amount.)

Suntrust Credit Card expenses = $4,500 * 4% = $180

Continental Credit Card expenses = $4,600 * 2.5% = $115

The journal entries will therefore look as follows:
