I have a transaction that says
"Jun-8 Paid misc. selling expense $425 and administrative expense of $85".
I know that both expenses are debited but since they're on the same date do I add both expenses then credit the total as cash?

Debit Selling Expnse for the amount given
Debit Administrative Expense for the amount given
Credit Cash for the total amount paid
Thanks a lot. I have one more question though
6-Jun-Sold $8500 of merchandise on account to EFG Company, terms 2/20, n/30, FOB shipping point. The cost of merchandise sold was $4250 and we paid $170 for shipping which was billed and added to the customer invoice.
7-Jun-EFG company returned $1700 of the merchandise purchased on June 6. The cost of the merchandise sold was $850.
17-Jun-Received cash from EFG Company for the sale of June 6, less the return of June 7th, less the discount.
I'm confused on the June 17 transaction.
The journal entry will be:
Debit Cash for the amount received (the sale amount minus the discount amount)
Debit Sales Discount (or other appropriate account for the amount of the discount)
Credit Accounts Payable for the total amount of the sale
Note: Accounts Payable should be Accounts Receivable
