    Periodic inventory
    What is the journal entry for this under the periodic inventory system:

    Sold goods on account for $21,000 and made cash sales of $18,000.

    This is what I think it is. Is this correct or is there more to it?

    Dr. Cash 18,800
    Dr. A/R 21,000
    Cr. Sales 39,800

    Or,
    Dr. Cash 18,000

    How did you get 18,800 for cash?

    Sorry, it was a typo, the amount in the question was supposed to be $18,800 not $18,000.
    Thank you for all of your help! You have helped me a lot!

    You're welcome.

    Then if it was for 18,800, then your answer is correct.
