Question

Raymond Santana created Computer Solutions on October 1, 2019. The company has been successful, and its list of customers has grown.

In response to requests from customers, R. Santana will begin selling computer software. The company will extend credit terms of 1/10, n/30, FOB shipping point, to all customers who purchase this merchandise. However, no cash discount is available on consulting fees. Also, Business Solutions does not use reversing entries and, therefore, all revenue and expense accounts have zero beginning balances as of January 1, 2020. Its transactions for January through March follow:
