The journal entry that Klein makes on March 17 is:

Dr cash                   $7,644

Dr sales discount $156

Cr accounts receivable          $7,800

Explanation:

The cash received is less of a discount of 2% since payment in respect of the sale was received within the discount period.

Cash received=$7,800-($7800*2%)=$ 7,644.00  

Discount =$7800-$ 7,644=$156

The accounts receivable would be credited with $7,800 while cash and sales discount would be debited with $7,644 and $156 respectively
