Explanation:

The credit card charges a fee and provides cash for the firm. It removes the effort to collect from the customer.

master card fee and net proceeds:

29,000 x 5% = 1,450

net: 29,000 - 1,450  = 27,550

bank credit card fee and net proceeds:

5,900 x 4% = 236

net 5,900 - 236 = 5,664

The journal entries for the credit card sales transactions are: Debit Cash              27,550; Debit credit Card fee 1,450; Debit Account receivable   29,000.
