Answer:

Accounts receivable - $7300 Dr.

Sales - $7300 Cr.

Explanation:

In other to make record of the purchase using the gross method of accounting on the same day, record is taken without deduction of the discount attached to the sale until payment is made.

Account receivable is debited with the sales price as payment has not yet been made and sales is credited with the equivalent amount.
