Answer:

Debit Cash for $406,602; Debit Finance charge for $7,938; Debit Loss on sale of receivables for 26,460; and Credit Accounts receivable for $441,000.

Explanation:

Before preparing the journal entry, the following calculations are made firs:

Finance charge = Percentage of finance charge * Accounts receivable = 1.80% * $441,000 = $7,938

Loss on sale of receivables = Percentage retained * Accounts receivable = 6% * $441,000 = $26,460

Cash = Accounts receivable - Finance charge - Loss on sale of receivables = $441,000 - $7,938 - $26,460 = $406,602

The journal entry will now look as follows:
